I thought the same, and then had to face the fact that I will be soooo friggin annoyed if that happens because her voice will be different. Somehow I can suspend disbelief for everything in this show, but not explaining why the voice of a woman who's only had facial surgery would change is a bridge too far. Unless she

I think you mean Rafael?

I adore Victor Garber but the narration for The Slap has got to go.

Is it just me, or does Justin Baldoni seem to be smiling all the time? It made the scenes when he was supposed to be comforting Jane very hard to take seriously.

I actually screamed "RUN BITCH RUN!" at my tv (not because I think she's a bitch but because that's what I shout at characters I want to make a quick escape). Although if she finds a guy who barely speaks whilst taking multiple photos of her attractive, then maybe it'll work out between those two crazy kids.

As soon as Kristina admitted she'd been getting offers for "months" I was like "She planned this the whole time!" Dissuade Adam from rejoining the Luncheonette so she can have cajole him into taking over the position of headmaster (which he's totally qualified for) for her "school".

Thanks for the courteous and detailed reply. I also have many issues with the homogenizing nature of the moniker Hispanic/Latino. I spent years studying Spanish/Spanish speaking countries and the diversity of the cultures/history was something we were not allowed to take for granted.

I guess my confusion stems from the mention of biology at all. While ethnicity can be linked to race/biological markers, in the case of Hispanic/Latino and many other ethnic groups it is not. Specifically, it's cultural/linguistic. Daphne was raised in Hispanic culture and had she been hearing would most likely also

I have zero affection for Daphne at this point, but since when does one's DNA prove ethnicity/nationality? Her bio parents are not Latino, but the women she was raised by for most of her life are, and raised her as if she was as well. If a baby born in China to Chinese parents spends its whole life with an adopted

I got a petite cut maxi from loft and everyone raves about it. As a short girl (5' 2"), I've learned I can do long dresses/skirts, it's just that the length has to be right.

For the first time, I really feel chemistry between Jane and Rafael and I feel like that's because his character finally has a personality. The scene when he couldn't stop grinning had me simultaneously melting and in stitches.

Could you explain a bit why you think it's racist? If it's the fertility issues, I'd like to point out that Petra and Raf (who was fertile before the cancer) and Petra and Zaz and Michael and Jane were also interracial couples. I also don't understand what Jane being Latina has to do with the scenario you've

I don't think that's the show's agenda as much as it is Jane's. JtV makes it very clear that Xo (with Abuela's help) was a fantastic parent and raised a courageous, thoughtful, self-aware young woman. Yes, Jane and her stepsisters would /would have liked a father figure growing up, but I feel that's very normal for a

I don't feel any chemistry between them either but then I look at him and it all starts to make sense…

She is told she looks old not fat. They never depict her losing weight. Thirteen year old Fossepants loved this movie so if you gonna come for it, you best come correct.

Even realizing the'd been teaching her the whole time they were secret lovers, I cannot accept that Octavia, waif that she is with at most a few months training would be able to take out any of the Grounders, who battle since prepubescence, or the Reapers who while maybe not as skilled, still have more fighting

On an intellectual level I absolutely agree with you. I really enjoy when shows can resist the temptation to throw characters into a romantic relationship especially because I have a number of platonic het, male friends. Veronica and Wallace from Veronica Mars were a great depiction of two people who cared very deeply

1. I will defend (homemade) oatmeal raisin cookies until my dying day.
2. Before the first episode I didn't realize how many opportunities to do Kegel's I've been wasting each day.

Man minus that first season I loved A Different World so damn much.

Jane the Virgin has an insane premise on paper but the execution is flawless. I've seen many people compare it favorably to Pushing Daisies and Ugly Betty (and I agree with them wholeheartedly).
