I actually had it in my head that it was the first time they said I love you* because it was so meaningful to me, but I had forgotten that Jane blurts it out after JR doesn't like her lol. That scene is absolute perfection though and you see them both work even harder at their friendship afterwards!! Damn, I love them so much. *Also Jane and Petra saying I love you was a bigger moment to me than anytime Jane and Rafael did despite my serious shipping for Jane and Raf lol.

I was fine and then getting to Mendez looking at the child actor for Mateo at the table read made me tear up. Ugh, Jane the Virgin, you still get me after all this time.

I am assuming Mateo is queer and I love him being the narrator SO MUCH! Someone at Mark Spoils actually had that theory back when the show was airing but the reveal was still a total delight. In a weird way, it also feels like confirmation that Mateo is doing fine as an adult. I never really doubted it with such a wonderful family, and it's not like we got a ton of glimpses into the Narrator's life, but having him be part of this story all this time just gives me the warm fuzzies to imagine adult Mateo getting to tell the story of his family with all its twists and turns <3 Mon, 28 Dec 2020 16:29:53 +0000 http://markwatches.net/reviews/2020/12/mark-watches-jane-the-virgin-s05e19-chapter-one-hundred/#IDComment1096238343 http://markwatches.net/reviews/2020/11/mark-watches-jane-the-virgin-s05e05-chapter-eighty-six/#IDComment1095484796 Ahhhhh I'm back!!! (kind of!). I'm so sad, I got so far behind in watching and commenting around the election and then IntenseDebate and I are in a major fight about if I can log into my account from my phone (I'm using my work computer now shhhh don't tell). I haven't re-watched this week's episodes so I don't have specific memories of these episodes, but wanted to comment anyway because I actually managed to log in!! And I'm hoping to get these episodes watched so I can comment over the holiday :) I will say I was absolutely FLOORED by the plot twist of bringing Michael back at the end of season 4. This time around, I kept yelling at the screen when they talked about amnesia thinking it was too obvious lol. As soon as I saw him though, I knew he had to really be Michael (it's too easy for Jane if it's not him) and once it was clear he had amnesia, I was extremely confident he'd get his memories back at some point. Can't say I was happy about it, but I knew that would be the way the show would go lol. I have been super impressed by Brett Dier's performance this time through though-he does a great job making Jason very different than Michael to the point where it's almost hard to believe they're the same person when Jason is watching videos of Michael! He does it for a much briefer time, but that's what I would call Nina Dobrev skills :) Also Xo having cancer is a truly heartrending storyline that was brutal to watch but beautifully done. Andrea Nevado did an AMAZING job.

Every time Petra/Jane came up I wanted to yell JUST WAIT Hahahaha so glad we’re here :) Wed, 28 Oct 2020 20:12:18 +0000 http://markwatches.net/reviews/2020/10/mark-watches-jane-the-virgin-s04e10-chapter-seventy-four/#IDComment1094898322 http://markwatches.net/reviews/2020/10/mark-watches-jane-the-virgin-s04e09-chapter-seventy-three/#IDComment1094807699 Happy Birthday (a day late) Mark!!! Jane and Rafael had such a smart plan... but Mateo ruined that plan! Who cares about JK Rowling? Turns out she really sucks! I feel so bad though, it would have been nice for it to be easy for her. But.... but brunch! (I know, what Petra did was Very Bad and I get why they’re mad I am just very attached to family brunches!) Krishna, be as snotty as you want, you deserve to be 100%. Way to go, Ro, but it is very clear you’re having trouble adjusting. Subtle hints of Petra trying to get back into the family’s good graces. This actor is distractingly hot, totally agree. Oh god this lunch, poor Jane. You’re not wrong that she should be less transactional though. And seriously the Krishna of it all is ugh. The Ivanka comparison was terrible. Lol I know it’s for set reasons but it totally works for me that her internal setting for this is the Marbella. Awww, Petra crying about Jane is Petra’s conscience! You can’t cancel brunch! Jane doubling the price for ghostwriting and Petra respecting it was SO GREAT. I think this was smart of Jane and Rafael. Lying isn’t good, but this is clearly what Mateo needs.

I know they didn’t admit it, but it just makes sense to me that it helped them realize Jane and Rafael were lying but they decided not to trust them with their own secret right away either. It’s just always been my head canon.

It’s just actual WWE that he is very into and I mock constantly lol. Heel turn is a useful term though! Mon, 19 Oct 2020 20:28:21 +0000 http://markwatches.net/reviews/2020/10/mark-watches-jane-the-virgin-s04e06-chapter-seventy/#IDComment1094684129 http://markwatches.net/reviews/2020/10/mark-watches-jane-the-virgin-s04e06-chapter-seventy/#IDComment1094682764 Love this review, Mark. Obviously I wish you couldn’t write it, but it is beautiful and I’m glad this show feels true and helps even a little bit as you’re dealing with your own grief. It’s pretty incredible. My notes: Pregnant Jane flashback! Maybe the best title yet? “Is Jane right next to you?” Okay even when she is, Petra, Rafael can still make his own choices! Oh boy, Jane, those tweets are a little out of control. Edit them down! I would like to never see Magda and Anezka again. (Hey that product placement wasn’t bad I will give them that!) Wow Rogelio is holding that grudge! Petra is speaking my language! Get Magda the f out of here! Oh poor Krishna. Good move getting a raise! You 1000% deserve it. Mark is on the same wavelength as the Narrator lol. Raf and Jane are in a groove and I like it. Fabian’s heel turn here doesn’t thrill me! Why is he straight up evil all of a sudden?? (Also wow I can’t believe I used a WWE term I can never tell my husband he’s gotten to me lol). It’s kind of a big deal, but not Rafaels fault.

In no way am I touched by Anezka talking to Scott. Gross. “Bling!” Fully cried over thank you for teaching me to be brave. I still love them!! I guess I appreciate this too late effort from Fabian, especially since it led to that beautiful scene with Isabelle Allende. Noooo, Adam! I give him like 3% credit for thinking about the fact that he shouldn’t be in her physical memories of this night, but still, ugh!! Mon, 19 Oct 2020 18:39:00 +0000 http://markwatches.net/reviews/2020/10/mark-watches-jane-the-virgin-s04e06-chapter-seventy/#IDComment1094682764 http://markwatches.net/reviews/2020/10/mark-watches-jane-the-virgin-s04e05-chapter-sixty-nine/#IDComment1094572685 Yikes this car accident looks so bad. Villanueva’d lol Yessss bisexual Adam! (Also because this is Tyler posey, this reveal also always brings up unresolved angry feelings about Teen Wolf’s queer baiting problems grrrr. Not fair, but he was on this show around the time I was either extremely into or angrily quitting the show so they’re linked in my mind lol). Jane, say the thing! You and Rafael need to be okay. Oh boy, Lina. Lotta pressure on Jane. “What the hell is a dowager?” Made me laugh out loud. Xo is totally right about what Jane should say by the way, way too much possible downside. Also correct about a vasectomy being very practical! Jane you’re making this so weird. Danny is a giant dork, but in a cute way! Okay the accountant thing is less cute and makes no sense. Xo using his rivalry with Esteban is clever. Family shows up ❤️ Danny, you should tell the BFF about the surprise if you’re not sure your fiancée will like it! This is a great plan though. The accents.... wow haha. Poor Luisa. On the bathroom floor again ❤️ Jesus this telenovela is really pushing the stuck in her body story. I’m tired of it and I don’t have to watch the show! Fuck, Magda and Anezka are just the worst!! Thu, 15 Oct 2020 02:06:15 +0000 http://markwatches.net/reviews/2020/10/mark-watches-jane-the-virgin-s04e05-chapter-sixty-nine/#IDComment1094572685 http://markwatches.net/reviews/2020/09/mark-watches-jane-the-virgin-s03e20-chapter-sixty-four/#IDComment1094184442 Wow, no pressure on this ceremony at all! Oh poor Marc Anthony lol. Michael is not wrong about Jane being an easy crier at all (and I love her for it). Rafael and Jane are so snuggly.... shipping is coming back full force!! I do love that Petra knows enough to know she should be suspicious of Jane. Darci, you are terrible for putting Jane in the middle of this! Xo look so beautiful I’m so sad she doesn’t get to wear the dress later :( Alba and Michael reminding me of my favorite wedding moment ❤️😭 Xo, you are not wrong at all to postpone, this is a huge thing to work through (also I know they have to work with the tv production schedule and all :) but it does stretch disbelief a little bit that they wouldn’t delay with an entire hurricane happening... just saying). Luisa, what planet are you on? Of course Raf is still furious at you! Shit, totally forgot about the real Eileen. Luisa, very cool to brag about breaking HIPPA, and Rafael is totally right to not feel bad at all for lying, however the mental illness shots were unnecessary and really low. Xo’s moment of realization about Rogelio was really nice, despite my later complaints about them not postponing lol. (You can thank climate change for that rapid intensification, btw!) Two sisters who really never, ever needed to meet yikes. I respect the need to include a bus ride, but... it wouldn’t actually be running in this, right? “Not meant to be, but choose to be.” Perfect ❤️ I do tear up at this ceremony every time. Chuck, I have no investment in a single thing you’re saying. Poor Petra though :( I prefer to think of this as Petra choosing her friendship with Jane and how far they’ve come over a possible relationship with Rafael. I feel like Jane is weirdly in the same place Raf was with Petra-she shouldn’t say anything unless she’s really sure about these feelings given what a bomb it would set off in all her relationships. I really think you’re better off walking away from the Marbella, just be done with Luisa as quickly as possible. Hi, Tyler Posey!!

I’m in a (virtual) training and another participant is named Tami Taylor!! I geeked out a little lol Thu, 24 Sep 2020 15:17:23 +0000 http://markwatches.net/reviews/2020/09/mark-watches-jane-the-virgin-s03e19-chapter-sixty-three/#IDComment1094103622 http://markwatches.net/reviews/2020/09/mark-watches-jane-the-virgin-s03e19-chapter-sixty-three/#IDComment1094101811 Damn it, Narrator, just tell me who it is! I legitimately can’t remember! Okay Jane, happily ever after still works. Yessss, Xo, you absolutely deserve the princess. Lol the meta comment about the TV schedule. Okay, Raf, a little passive aggressive! Also no, Jane, you shouldn’t encourage either way. You should listen! As her friend! Aright, not a fan of Jean Luc! Jane is correct to intervene, you guys are better off without them. Oh boy Jane this is a lot to take on though. Luisa, you know if you want a better relationship with him, you cannot be with Rose! Those two things are incompatible and I do not get how you don’t see that. Yikes that recap was terrible and definitely makes a compelling case for Petra and Rafael not trying again. Alba, your rigid morals are very inconvenient sometimes. Oh noooo, Rogelio. Oh no, Petra, friend can only mean Jane, let’s be real. Hard to hear for Raf though. Fabian, ugh. The “using me for horses” thing is... legit though. Not great. Smart play, Rafael. (We’re still saying ‘lady scientist’ on the show in a show, huh?) Fabian, what the fuck. Really wish they weren’t having this conversation in public wow. Seems kinda personal. Damn, Jane! Way to go! No messing with Rogelio’s face! Petra probably had a really tough afternoon after hearing that call :( All the kids were so cute!!! Aww, Jane, the tables really turned for you and Petra, huh? Drunk Xo and Jane made me cry somehow. And then the Prince Charming stripper lol. Awww, Jane and Petra and Rafael, lots of feelings there. I am glad Jane didn’t throw any roadblocks because of the sudden glow-y heart feelings. She’s drunk and it’s real complicated with her and Rafael, so definitely nothing to make impulsive moves with.

I feel like it would be hysterical Tue, 22 Sep 2020 20:23:20 +0000 http://markwatches.net/reviews/2020/09/mark-watches-jane-the-virgin-s03e18-chapter-sixty-two/#IDComment1094064663 http://markwatches.net/reviews/2020/09/mark-watches-jane-the-virgin-s03e18-chapter-sixty-two/#IDComment1094064644 I agree the highlight of the episode was Rafael and Jane and Mateo talking before bed. Such a sweet, real moment, but also heightened of course by what they’re having to explain lol. But it’s also mixed with just a little bittersweet that they’ve clearly got coparenting down and are basically doing what they told the mediator they wanted... and Mateo still wishes they could just be like a “normal” family. I’m also sure Jane can relate, given how much she wanted to know her dad and live a little more “normally.” :( ugh so many feelings!!!!! Tue, 22 Sep 2020 20:21:57 +0000 http://markwatches.net/reviews/2020/09/mark-watches-jane-the-virgin-s03e18-chapter-sixty-two/#IDComment1094064644 http://markwatches.net/reviews/2020/09/mark-watches-jane-the-virgin-s03e18-chapter-sixty-two/#IDComment1094064571 Literally just remembered when Mark said it that this season is shorter and not 22 episodes yikes. Yep, the shaming wasn’t really helpful, Alba! Did not watch SATC so this means very little but is still funny lol. Rogelio and Xo are so wonderful ❤️ Oh but Rogelio, no need to name drop Elon Musk yuck! I had forgotten they got married before somehow lol. Awww, Fabian, trying so hard (I feel like we established burning books is bad, but still... yep he’s definitely attracted I believe him lol). Oh, Mateo, this is such a series of questions lol, smart kid though! Love that survival instinct of Petra’s so much right now. No hesitation about hitting Chuck over the head! Still don’t trust him at all and am glad the police got there. Time-honored ice cream distraction! Plus you and Rafael should talk together about how to explain this. Yay, Xo and Jane! Oh god, grandmas blocking this fling everywhere. Alba’s wig ahhhhh! LOTS of pressure on this conversation with Xo and Alba’s competing views of sexuality! Obviously I’m on Team Xo, and I like that Jane is honest with Alba that this wasn’t the best message for a child. Xo and Ro not wanting to hurt Jane noooo *sobs* such good parents. Fabian doing the Tom Cruise lol. Aww Fabian. Also Raf giving Jane subtle shit about Fabian’s moment with Mateo was real funny. “Like a miracle?” ❤️❤️❤️ Pretty much, kiddo! Millennial parents everywhere can relate to texting over/around the kid who needs to go to sleep lol. The priest blessing the cleavage was inspired. Xo and Alba! Alba and Jorge! Xo and Ro getting a big wedding!! Love is everywhere and it’s wonderful! Go Jane!! I also loooved Xo talking her into it (after making totally sure this is what she wants) and Jane bragging to Rafael about it immediately after. So great. Tue, 22 Sep 2020 20:17:00 +0000 http://markwatches.net/reviews/2020/09/mark-watches-jane-the-virgin-s03e18-chapter-sixty-two/#IDComment1094064571 http://markwatches.net/reviews/2020/09/mark-watches-jane-the-virgin-s03e16-chapter-sixty/#IDComment1094024400 I thought of you immediately when Rogelio got to talk about missing Michael lol I’m so glad they brought it up too though. Rogelio and Michaels friendship was mainly played for laughs but it was still real and meaningful! Also yesss to Manny Jacinto as Fabian holy shit he would have been perfect! Also I’d like him to be in everything so this works in that way too lol.

Oh no, Lina and Jane :( Well, saying I wish you were dead is bad but not really literally a threat. Petra is being too nice and is clearly thrilled with an excuse to send Anezka away in this flashback... Rogelio must really love them to help with a wipe when Mateo’s mom is there lol. 3 hours?! Get it together, Fabian! Way to be direct, Jane. Oh no, Fabian. Jane, not an ideal reaction, which you’d think you would remember! Oooh, Alba got there. But seriously... I can’t imagine this being true love but he is sweet. Ooh, Petra this is ice cold but.... Scott sucks and so does Anezka so... still hoping she gets out of this. Lol now that Jane’s sex brain is on, it is all the way on. God damn, Rogelio can kill a romantic speech. It’s funny how much of the political stuff is obviously relevant but also... almost too optimistic? I don’t know, life feels very dark (...I wrote a week or so before RBG died and that became 1000x more true). So awkward with Lina oh no... also not sure I believe it’s an actual emergency call and that makes me sad too. “Drop some judgment on me.” Hahaha I do love that Jane’s first concern is Petra though (have I mentioned I love them lately? :) ). Fabian is so expressive in the dark! He is helpful with Lina though. Thank god they can hash this out, but yikes Jane. I get where you were at, but it would be so hard to know how to navigate falling in love when your best friend is coping with such awful grief. “It’s hard sometimes.” Ugh, Mateo, you have a habit of saying things that make me cry!! Proud of Alba for deciding to be brave and go for it though! I forgot this happened so soon!! Beach Day!!!!! Proposal!!! Ahhhh!! Awe okay Fabian is growing on me too. Very, very different than Rafael or Michael. Ugh I knew Chuck was still terrible.

I was 19 and grieving through wild mood swings and binge watching TV in silence so... good for them lol). You deserve better than that and I’m glad you have some friends who have shown up the way you needed. ❤️ Mon, 21 Sep 2020 01:49:06 +0000 http://markwatches.net/reviews/2020/09/mark-watches-jane-the-virgin-s03e17-chapter-sixty-one/#IDComment1094024179
