Pretty Little Liars TV: Please Do Talk About Me When I'm Gone (S01E08)


The Liars get another creepy text from A in episode eight, but it warrants a little explanation – especially for those too distracted by Mr. Fitz to pay attention in English class!


"Do it right, I'll be watching. Just like Tom Sawyer. –A"


In The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, by Mark Twain, Tom, Huckleberry Finn, and their friend Joe get stranded on an island three miles from town while rafting. The entire town thinks that they're dead, and holds a funeral for them. However, the boys sneak back and watch the entire service, finally coming back in after witnessing their community's grief at their loss.


This begs the question, what is A really trying to say?

Comments:

I think A is trying to make them think again that Ali is actually still alive or maybe that A is just watching them in general. Oh!! WOW first comment!!!!!

well, if any of you have read the books, you would know. although, that doesnt happen in the books if you have read the last book it is so obvious.

Hint: If people think they are dead when they really aren't- connect to A. Is she really dead? (I read the books).

i have read the books and i still don't get it can someone who has read the books tell me what it means!!!!!

Posted by themightyair on July 27, 2010 at 09:17 PM EDT #

I JUST watched the latest episode. im still waiting on Flawless. I need to get it out of the library.

Posted by Tracyy on July 27, 2010 at 09:35 PM EDT #

I agree with Nicki. I read the Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Cool book. I'm not sure if A is dead, but is Alison really dead? That's the question.

Posted by Alexandra on July 27, 2010 at 09:42 PM EDT #

i think A is alive but is simply enjoying the attention that she is getting by being dead she might even be doing this for a reason just to watch if maybe her frnds really care for her??? or if they will keep her deep secret?? as i remember her saying when she got her bracelet she said she wont tell until she dies she still wonders about them.......... i <3 these books

Whoever read the books please tell me...this show got me confused alison is dead they buried her....a is playin games

Posted by lexis on July 27, 2010 at 10:00 PM EDT #

Oh now i remember from the books. Duh.

Posted by ? on July 27, 2010 at 10:06 PM EDT #

Well, the answer is right in her text and then compare it to Tom Sawyer. (;

Posted by Allison aka A(: on July 27, 2010 at 10:25 PM EDT #

They think she's dead but its really Courtney and now she's messing with them sigh I almost kind of wished I lived in the world of these bookd but that's crazy did anyone see the new episode its almost seseason finale I'm sad. :(

Posted by nikki on July 27, 2010 at 10:28 PM EDT #

I am totally lost? Who is "A?"

Posted by Katie on July 27, 2010 at 10:55 PM EDT #

We don't koe who's a yet tatz wat we are tryin to figure out

Posted by lexis on July 27, 2010 at 11:07 PM EDT #

I like the tom sawyer thing. It's pretty sneaky but why would she do that? like she had everything going for her. If I was Allison was at, i wouldn't fake my own death. Now i didn't read the books so i have no idea what's gonna happen next. I just finished watching the recent episode (Episode 8) and there's something about Jason (Allison's older brother) and that Ian guy that's rubbing me the wrong way. He came in out of no way and we've never heard of him before. He must have some signifigance. Both of the actually. I think they're both involved in some way. I agree with Alexandra up there^ that's definitely the question. Is A dead? Is Allison really dead? If not, then yea i also agree she's gotta be lovin the attention right now. Spencer did say she loves attention and this is for sure a heck of a lot.

I am already on the 6th book so i know who A is but its still kinda creepy! i love watching the shows. im sad that there are only 2 episodes left :/

Posted by samantha on July 27, 2010 at 11:18 PM EDT #

if alison really wanted so much attention I don't think a fake death would do it.....but rember when alison was lik how it would be cool to die in a misterys wayz....and no one can really koe how they die so I do think it is a set up

Posted by lexis on July 27, 2010 at 11:19 PM EDT #

ahh it makes sense now haha :)

Posted by Scarlett on July 27, 2010 at 11:55 PM EDT #

Posted by pretty little liar;) on July 28, 2010 at 12:52 AM EDT #

ok, i think allison is still alive....i believe she might be posing as jenna. (far fetched, i know....) until tonight's episode, i thought it she was dead. so, if she is dead, i think ezra killed her. i have not read the books (but i am going to now!)...... how does the show compare to the books? anyone???

Posted by Beth on July 28, 2010 at 01:14 AM EDT #

@Beth the show is very different from the books. they leave out some characters that are crucial in the books. but the book are definately better

Posted by pretty little liar;) on July 28, 2010 at 08:38 AM EDT #

I'm don't he fourth book and I don't get it but, thats okay I know who A is everything so I think it will all come to me soon. I don't get it hahahah :D! That episode was so good last night I was like freaking outtt! I like the ending!

Posted by realKatieeeeeeeeeeeee on July 28, 2010 at 09:26 AM EDT #

Sorry I meant to type I'm on the fourth book. hehe oops.

Posted by realKatieeeeeeeeeeeee on July 28, 2010 at 09:27 AM EDT #

I think A is trying to say that even though the girls blocked A out, she still has a way of coming back. A will never stop until he/she gets what she wants. -Maggy Catch me in other comment posts and my new blog: www.maggystopics.blogspot.com

Posted by Maggy on July 28, 2010 at 10:45 AM EDT #

I think she or he means that alison is not alive but the person who is messing with them is in the audience

Posted by Katherine on July 28, 2010 at 12:03 PM EDT #

I think -A means that she's detroying there lives and its like a funeral for them and she'll be watching. That or Ali is supposed to be still alive and she's watchint the memorial or or funeral but that already happened soo.

Posted by Marie on July 28, 2010 at 12:28 PM EDT #

Ya if u read theast book its really obvious

Posted by Marie on July 28, 2010 at 12:31 PM EDT #

@pretty little liar- I totally agree with you. The books are different- but i think the plot is gonna be the same.

Posted by Alexandra on July 28, 2010 at 12:41 PM EDT #

the show is so different! i like it but the books are better! the endings are so creepy! when A does the stuff at the end i get so scared!!! i know who A is and all but it is still weird!

Posted by me on July 28, 2010 at 12:56 PM EDT #

I finished the last book yesterday (AWESOME) and i hope they don't give away everything now. It would be terrible. By the way, did anyone else see Sara Shepard ( the author of pll for all those clueless people out there) on pll last night?

Posted by Mona on July 28, 2010 at 12:58 PM EDT #

Beth how could ezra have killed her??? he didnt even know her!

Posted by me on July 28, 2010 at 12:59 PM EDT #

I'm getting the first book tomorrow, so I don't know much, but ...There are 8 books. People who have read up to book five seem to know who A is. So u find out then. Whats the point of the series without that mystery? On the current episode what book are we on???? Like if we're already on book two then how many seasons??? I hope we're still on book 1. Can someone please tell me??? Thanks so much. I'm pretty sure alisons alive, that bodys another girl.

I think its about Toby because they said he hunted Squirrels or whatever.

Posted by Emily Staib on July 28, 2010 at 05:20 PM EDT #

Does anyone know what book number the tv show is on? Lime about which book number?!?! :)

Posted by Jaclyn on July 28, 2010 at 05:55 PM EDT #

@ily, the Tom Sawyer text is gonna ruin the show for you, but i'll explain it. It says how the town thinks that they are dead and helds a funeral. But they aren't dead, and actually watches the funeral service. No body, no evidence. Now, they said that Ali's body was lifeless and i don;t even think they did an autopsy. But think about it. They weren't dead and actually watched it themselves. Now connect to Ali. I don't want to give away too too much, but we will see how the show goes off. I'm not even sure if the show is gonna end like the books do.

Posted by Alexandra on July 28, 2010 at 06:11 PM EDT #

Oh and also A's text. I'll be watching like Tom Sawyer. Is A (Mystery, don't wanna tell) watching them?

Posted by Alexandra on July 28, 2010 at 06:13 PM EDT #

Wow, have none of u read the books!!!! A is Mona, (hannas best friend) and then in the fourth book she dies so then theres a new A and that A is Ali U know everyone, ALi had a secret twin courtney and one day they switched places so courtney was thier friend all along then one day when the girls were in the barn courtney got in a fight with spencer so she was going up to her room but then Ali ( who was hiding in the trees) came out and killed her ( since she was mad at courney for taking her place)Then she put courtneys body in the hole everyone thought that was ali's body since they have the same DNA but it was really courneys body!!

Posted by themightyair on July 28, 2010 at 06:50 PM EDT #

Then ali left for a while, then came back and told the four girls that she was ali she took them to her vacation home and then set the house on fire with the four girls in it ( she did this because she was mad at courney for taking them in as friends and making "ali" look unkool) but the girls got out and then Ali ended up killing herself since the house exploded on her!!

Posted by themightyair on July 28, 2010 at 06:50 PM EDT #

i think the show is on the end of the seconde book or at the start of the third book somewhere around there

Posted by themightyair on July 28, 2010 at 06:52 PM EDT #

@themightyair not to make you angry but actually Courtney was going to meet Ian.
