On my first rewatch since the show's original airing, which I'm proud to say I was there for all of, but I just wrapped my viewing of 2x06, which is an episode where a lot happens, including time jumps every couple of scenes into the next month because they wanted to expedite Petra's pregnancy.

Anyway, despite the MANY things there are to talk about this episode, my flabber is most gasted by the character Jill from Jane and Rafael's parenting class. The one who asks Jane to confirm that she and Raf aren't together anymore because she feels like she and Raf may have a spark and it's something she wants to explore and is it weird that she's even mentioning it?

I know it's a very heightened tv show and good drama is good drama, but I cringed so hard through that scene just imagining Jane's position—what it would be like to have a brand new baby, trying to co-parent with a very recent ex, and then being asked this question by a presumably single new mother in a similar position but who very clearly has a very different set of priorities. Like, what are we doing right now, because I know it's not asking for my permission? And if you think this is some kind of courtesy, then I should let you know that telling me you're tryna bang the father of my newborn, even if we're not together, kind of pales in comparison to just not inserting yourself right now, so what the fuck.

Idk, how would you have responded?

Since they removed it from Netflix (US) does anyone know where I can stream it again?! This is my favorite comfort show and I have only been able to afford to buy the first two seasons on dvd. I hate that Netflix took this off, I played it daily! Lol Thanks!

I roleplay for quite some time, and I recently started rewatching some couples I like. I wanted to play them because I’m kind of obsessed right now. In this case, it would be Rose and Luisa from Jane the Virgin (i'm luisa), Petra and Jane Ramos (i'm petra) also from JTV, and Margo and Sophie from The Hunting Wives.(i'm sophie) I'm literate and descriptive, also 21+ so let me know if you would like!

Okay, so, In Season 3 ep 9, Rogelio asks Darci out on a date. When she accepts, Rogelio says "I would love to pull you into an embrace and kiss you. But, I must ask first, since Donald Trump has ruined romance for all of us"

I deeply hate Trump as much as any rational person would. Infact, doubly so, as a gay, trans, disabled individual. But.. I just don't get this line. "I want to kiss you but I have to ask for your consent first, because of a sexual abuser unrelated to me" is just... Such an odd sentence to me and I can't understand the logic around it. I will rag on the disgusting annoying orange any day. But... This is one of those lines that just... Icks me out a bit? Not because it's slandering him, but more just... Why would you need to ask for consent because of Trump? Consent has always mattered? You should always ask for consent before kissing someone, or at the very least pay attention to their body language and make sure they are enthusiastic about it? I just... Really don't get this line and it takes me out of it a bit

Do keep in mind, I'm autistic so I can take things very literally and struggle with Idioms. So, I'm probably just missing something. I just would like to know what I'm missing so this line doesn't confuse me each rewatch lol

⚠️update⚠️

Originally, I talked about how it think the Insemination isn't totally Luisas fault. I mean, she did say Jane's name and ru ready for the Insemination and she said yes, plus a lot of other circumstances.

BUT a lot of ppl gave me a different view on this: Yes it was a medical environment, Luisa should've been more professional, and everyone should feel safe at the doctor. Also definitely not trying to victim blame, I just love Luisa so I didn't consider all sides. I still think it's not fair to hate her for that AT THE END of the show, but she did a mistake and was unprofessional.

Plus, in real life i would 1000% blame the doctor, and I didn't mean to offend anyone, I was just trying to reason Luisas behavior.

I'm really sorry, and thanks for the nice comments who convinced me otherwise, is wasn't thinking about the medical environment thing.

And as a person who was misunderstood and treated with the wrong ways I REALLY should've known better.

⚠️UPDATE⚠️ Sorry, I was wrong, please read the post, I changed it

I haven’t finished the show yet, am in the middle of S5E7 but ugh i hate Michael and Jane after Jason became Micheal.

I’m Team Raf alllll the way. Jane is very emotional and can’t make a good decision. Why the hell would you leave Raf who selflessly brought you Michael back - and go back to Michael who is now ruining your life with your kid and soon to be fiancé ?

Also Michael proposing to date long distance?? How dumb is that? You live in a place with no internet, how the hell would you maintain an LDR ?

Anyways, I’ll see what happens next.. but am literally just hoping the show ends now if Jane and Michael stay together..

Da adolescente, adoravo guardare "My Wife and Kinds", ma rivedendolo, sto iniziando a notare alcuni aspetti spiacevoli dei due genitori, Michael e Janet, due adulti che non hanno mai avuto il coraggio di superare le proprie insicurezze.

Anche se era una serie comica, ho trovato inquietante vedere come Janet e Michael fossero ossessionati dal loro senso di inadeguatezza e come questo li abbia messi nei guai, danneggiando anche il loro rapporto con i figli.

Michael ha un ego smisurato, al punto da misurare la sua vita solo in base a ciò che NON ha realizzato. In molti episodi, se ci pensate, viene rivelato che da adolescente aveva ambizioni eccessive: voleva diventare un rapper, un musicista jazz o studiare in un'università della Ivy League. Michael rappresenta una generazione di persone che avevano grandi ambizioni in gioventù, ma che poi si sono sentite dei falliti perché si sono accontentate di una vita borghese senza evoluzione. Dovrebbe essere orgoglioso di aver costruito la sua azienda, che gli ha garantito stabilità finanziaria, ma in realtà, dal suo punto di vista, si tratta di una carriera banale, un lavoro poco stimolante. Ha una moglie e dei figli, ma vivono in una semplice casa in periferia. Michael non è un uomo famoso, è un uomo comune che passa inosservato, e questo non basta al suo ego.

Michael ha messo incinta Janet da adolescente, quindi ha rinunciato a una prestigiosa università, al rap e al jazz. Ama la sua famiglia, ma aver rinunciato alle sue ambizioni lo fa sentire inadeguato, al punto da non riuscire a controllare le sue insicurezze.

1. Si sentiva umiliato perché Junior giocava a basket meglio di lui e non aveva bisogno dell'allenamento del padre, e per questo lo puniva.
2. Voleva vendere più cioccolato di tutti gli altri per raccogliere fondi per la scuola di Kady, solo per competere con un altro padre che aveva venduto di più l'anno precedente.
3. Voleva dimostrare al suo vecchio amico di saper ancora suonare jazz, nonostante non si esercitasse da anni, mettendo Franklin nella posizione di dover suonare al suo posto, nascondendosi dietro il cappotto e facendo la figura del pagliaccio. Era anche evidente che per lui fosse umiliante dover ammettere alla fine dell'episodio di non essere un musicista di talento, andando contro la sua arroganza.
4. A Las Vegas si era illuso di poter battere Michael Jordan in una partita di basket uno contro uno.
5. Era prigioniero della sua stessa autocommiserazione quando non ha vinto il premio di "piccolo manager", nonostante avesse ingenuamente creduto di poterlo vincere facilmente.

Janet, pur essendo una donna bellissima, è sempre invidiosa delle donne che considera più belle di lei, diventando ridicola, arrogante ed egocentrica, ancora condizionata dal fatto che da bambina veniva presa in giro per il suo peso. Si è comportata da tiranna alla recita di Kady, in veste di regista, per competere con il preside. Ha finto che Michael la trovasse più attraente solo perché si sentiva inferiore a Susan Green. Ha accompagnato Claire al ballo di fine anno solo per mettersi in mostra e umiliarla, accampando la scusa di aver perso il suo ballo perché era nato Junior, come se questo le desse il diritto di rovinarle la serata. Janet aveva insistito perché Claire andasse a yoga con lei, ma poi ha iniziato a competere con la figlia perché, essendo vanitosa, non accettava che l'insegnante prestasse più attenzione a Claire che a sua madre.

JanetMichael e Janet rappresentano due adolescenti che, da adulti, non riescono ancora ad accettare di stare invecchiando e che le loro vite non siano state all'altezza della loro arroganza, e che sfogano le loro frustrazioni sui figli e sulla società.

One question I saw posted over and over again the past 2 years was why none of his Jane the Virgin costars spoke out in support of him. In fact people saw it as proof that he had sexually harassed Blake and that they didn’t want anything to do with him. And now, it looks like several cast members have commented on his latest post: Gina Rodriguez, Brett Dier and Jaime Camil.

I think it’s obvious now they just didn’t want the blowback from Blake Lively supporters or any negative press that would come from it.

Does anyone know where I can watch JTV for free?

Update, I found this Google Drive link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1fcJRWkPm2RAEd_NvUxkkah55gsq-kLud?usp=drive_link

I don’t even know if I agree with myself but I’m rewatching at the moment and I just think it’s weird that he wrote Jane’s love theme that plays throughout the entire show whenever she’s feeling anything romantic and he also designed the cover for her book all about Michael but their relationship was actually pretty unserious other than that. Those seem like 2 of the most seminal moments of Jane’s story so I don’t know why that was the explanation? I didn’t love Adam and I’m glad he didn’t stick around, he was clearly more of a stepping stone than anything else, but for me these things didn’t need to be explained beyond that’s the song that plays and the cover the publishers went with after consulting Jane?

Im really happy all the characters esp jane and rafael and petra all got a happy ending, i was actually expecting a twist turn drama ending but im happy they had their wedding 🥰

I think jane and michael had way better chemistry and wanted them to end up together but i dont mind her with rafael either .

So hard to let go of this show 😢 but i need to 😂 i dont do rewatches haha.

Those of you who are rewatching too how you finding it. If you need Reccs look @ my last post :)

No wonder we cant let go of this show they won awards !!! 🫶🙏🏼 Gina Rodriguez did in particular. So proud of them all

UK Shows? Cant believe im on chapter 100😭dont want this to be over i got sooooo attatched to the show any1 else? Always hard to let go of amazing shows lol.

Whats everyone watching next? What are some similar shows? Thank youuuu🫶

I've always wondered this. If everything had continued normally, do you think Michael and Jane would've actually lasted?

Part of me feels like they were endgame at that point and would've had a long, happy marriage. But another part of me thinks Rafael would've eventually found his way back into Jane's life somehow, and she may have still realized he was the better match in the long run.

Curious what everyone thinks

She spent all that time and money 6 years to become a teacher and then a big job opportunity comes up for writing and she's ready to throw it away to follow her dreams. She was going to choose teaching when rolgalio said the writing sucks, but then Dina validates her and she's ready to step in to writing full time. Like rolgalio said its a tough business and you cant wait for people to validate you.

So yes I am with alba and think jane should have chosen teaching. Did she not have a passion for teaching which she did to a degree and such a good job lined up too. Jane should've taught and writen on the side to see where it went.

Thought of Rogelio instantly

I've always wondered how differently everything would've turned out.

I don’t care what anyone says, Rogelio is the BEST character to ever be on a show 😂😂 literally everything he does is hilarious and I’m just obsessed with him

Hi, does anyone know where to watch the Jane the Virgin in Spanish? Preferably not for $70. Trying to improve my Spanish and thought this would be a good start but it seems impossible to find it.

I've been checking the price of season 2 regularly ($43!) and noticed today the entire season is marked down on Prime Video to $60.
