Hi Marlene!

I am a huge fan of yours, thank you for replacing the hole that was left in my heart after lost ended. I really enjoy watching your show, and thank you for making such a fun well done mystery show! We have a subreddit over here that submitted questions since many of the people couldn't make it online today. Would love to know your answers! Sorry for the large amount but these are questions from MANY of your fans!

1) Is it ever really going to be addressed how Ezra was doing a book, and really taking advantage of Aria? Was that story intended from the beginning? What clues are there in earlier seasons to point this out? How are you going to write his redemption arc? Since this is a "favored" relationship, how are you going to come back from this really negative backstory?

2)Will everything eventually make sense when the series ends? I feel like there's a lot of subplots that matter for a few episodes then are never brought up again and things contradict a lot and are hard to keep straight. Will all those things be fully explained? IS there a plan?

3) Have they known since the beginning that there was more than one A?

4) You have said that there are no plans to stop the show after season 5. Do you have a set end in sight?

5)How do you decide what film elements to put in?

6)What do you think of the dark themes like pedophilia, psychosis, pill addiction, murder, etc, in a show with a large teen demographic?

7)Who is your favourite character and why? What was audition process like for the main five girls?

What year is it? Is it still 2010?

Thank you! I know these were a lot of questions compiled by many fans! So thanks for all the answers, and thanks for doing this AMA :)
