Boring Life with Jane

That was supposedly what Michael's death was supposed to do and it just failed. To the point that no one likes to see a couple happy and in love: These couples generally had stable relationships but dealt with couple issues and it didn't get stale. I feel like Jane and Michael could gone in that direction and given the obvious talent of the writing staff taken it to new places. Who says that being married is boring for stories if it's done right?

What's done is done, obviously, but because the show is getting repetitive and to me isn't as strong as it used to be, I can't be wonder "what if. None of the 3 shows you mentioned were telenovelas Never watched Friday night light, don't think it is a telenovela.

MODERATORS

You cannot have a happy married couple so early in the type of telenovela these writers are trying to write. This one runs on high drama and typical telenovela tropes. Friends is an example of high drama that sometimes didn't work. You're right, telenovelas traditionally don't have a couple get together and be happy. But who says Jane had to do the traditional thing? There are plenty of instances in the show where the writers take inspiration from telenovelas then do their own thing. And now we've come to a point where the high drama just seems to repeat the same plot lines over and over.

I know you're coming from the point of view that you're enjoying the show and you think viewers should expect them to adhere to the genre, but I respectfully disagree. I think the show would have been better off it found a way to do new story lines, rather than backtrack. However I am liking it more than I liked last season where I hated most of the characters. I think everyone can want different things from the show.

I know this might be a weird way to watch shows but I usually expect what the writers tell me to expect.

So when the creator of the show says this is a homage to telenovela and she plans to fully exploit the most loved telenovela tropes that is what I expect and that is what I hold them accountable for. I obviously want them to tell me the best story possible and I quit when I feel they are lying to me. They have stayed loyal to telenovela tropes but they have done them in a realistic way that connects with me and makes sense in this day and age.

Jane and Rafael were supposed to be destined to be together. Petra just isn't the stereotypical psycho ex. She is complex and she is lovable. There are things that drive her beside an obsession of money and the lead man. Telenovelas have a huge focus on class issues and again Jane the virgin that boring trope and does more with it.

So no I am not exactly happy with this show, I have my own complaints with the show like when will Rogelio grow up? Why did they make Ro and Xio fall for these amazing people if they were just going to come back to there childish relationship at the drop of a hat? This time it will. They will most likely end up married by the end of the season.

Jane had a fling before but it wasn't a fling. She was trying to find someone she could love and be with forever and this time around she is strictly looking for sex. Rafael and Petra have never been together after their divorce because both times Petra said she didn't want to be with him while he loved Jane. And finally he doesn't love Jane. Michael's death was not meant to change everyone, only Jane.

And this Jane is so different. I can't remember the last time Jane created a list or talked about calendars.

This show is getting more and more boring and hard to watch : JaneTheVirginCW

She is open to trying new things. She just seems like a more grown up, less judgmental, not self-righteous like her past self. She is taking life one day at a time, learning and growing. This is something old Jane seemed terrified of in the past. Whether or not those points are true, it doesn't change it from feeling repetitive. And I'm clearly not in the minority as threads complaining about how stale and boring the show has become are incredibly common. I'm sure they will get married at the end of the season, but I don't even really care anymore.

Jane - I don't think she's looking for strictly sex, despite what she says. In the promo, we see her having the same exact freakout she had when she was about to sleep with the professor. I bet anything she will end up not sleeping with Fabio. And in the off chance she does, it will be her aha moment that she doesn't want strictly sex and will go back to looking for love. Michael - I never said Michael's death was supposed to change everybody, just everything.

People got bored of seeing a happily married couple and wanted more action and drama and conflict. And, yet, there's none of that. I don't buy that jane's changed. We saw her overprepare for her marketing spiel, judge Rafael for sleeping with Petra, force a kid to invite Mateo to his birthday party, judge Petra's mothering based on that kids' painting, obsessively research Fabio to date him, judge Fabio on not being well-read and making fun of his book, etc.

The only thing that's change is the sex thing and I can guarantee that won't last. And the stupid Rose thing that will never die. This comment is so on point. I feel the exact same way. They dragged the whole Rogelio love story out for so long, at this point I'm - and many others too, it seems - just like: Like it's really not interesting at this point. Back in the early seasons, the show was going somewhere but now we are just watching the characters go through life without having any sort of big goal and I think that causes the change.

You bring up good points, and I understand that it feels repetitive but the stories are coming in full circle. They are closing old stories so they can start new ones. The old Jane was not just judgmental, she was mean as well. The way she put down Rafael and Xiomara in the past? She let it go almost right away. She is not that annoying judgmental person anymore with holier than thou attitude. In S2 she went on a date with Greg, and had a tiny fling with Jonathan.

The books the two men read were important to Jane. Now Jane is learning to date someone whose idea of reading is reading magazines. Despite knowing they are not compatible at all she is not exactly throwing him out yet I agree she will end it soon. For now she has been giving Fabian a chance because she is not looking for anything serious.

Jane is now trying to do what Lina was telling her to do last season. The old Jane wanted love, and as Gina said it very recently that Jane is cynical now. No more love for Jane. That is a huge change for someone who eats, breathes, sleeps love. It was because Jane feels like she is an inadequate mother. That is another thing and it is the biggest visible change to Jane.

Jane now understands that she is not always right. Now she takes into consideration what he says: An Aide for Mateo, okay. None of these characters changed completely because that is not realistic but they have all grown up. They are different people now.

Lastly let me clarify one more thing. I was not arguing your comment about the show being stale and boring. The problem is, my oldest friend is bitterly envious of our success. I suspect this woman has a strong sense of entitlement and feels that she should be enjoying the fruits of your success, too. Maybe she believes that you should give her a job or include her in your spending sprees?

Welcome to Reddit,

She needs to understand that you made sacrifices for 10, long years. There was no luck involved. My new girlfriend has told me that she no longer wants to socialise with my friends. At a party recently, she made an embarrassing scene by being rude to them and standoffish.

Is that really what she wants? These sound like issues that could be resolved with a little effort on all sides. Your girlfriend could try to be more open-minded, your friends could make more of an effort to include her, and you could show more understanding of her feelings. With each relationship comes compromise. Is your girl insisting you spend more time with her female friends?
