Rogelio continues to give me visual dissonance, as he looks like Mark Ruffalo.
Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

Rogelio is the best.

Oh totally. Gina Rodriguez anchors this film with her performance.
Absolutely. I want to clarify that I am totally rooting for Jane, and I love the wide variety of women characters on the show. There are so many women! It is a delight!

Not just women being present, but women driving the majority of the narrative! I love all three Villaneuva women to bits, but I also have a HUGE soft spot for Petra, which I would not have thought possible back when I watched the pilot. Suffice it to say there was a lot of screaming at TV on my part while watching the latest episode. Even Magda, who has all the markings of a typical gothic villain, has nuance and humour. (The entire subplot with Ivan the hostage! I hope we get to see him again. He was a fucking riot.)
Then you have Rose. I still can't think of that last episode without bursting into hysterical giggles.

I'm sad that we (presumably) won't see Carlo Rota any more. Though maybe he has an evil twin that will show up.

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire
There has to be an evil twin at some point!
And yes, Jane is charming without making me nauseous. (Sometimes people who are too sweet make me want to throw things at them.)
I wish I knew I'd get a Pushing Daisies vibe before it started airing, because I would have watched it from the start. Instead I caught the first few episodes in reruns, the picked it up around episode 10.

A lot of Pushing Daisies and a whiff of The Middleman as well. The chyrons (which is apparently what those writings on screen are called) are an extension of the Narrator, I suppose, but sometimes it feels like they have a distinct personality of their own. Some of my favourite bits on the show have to do with a clever use of chyrons: #immigrationreform when Alba was in the hospital, and the latest with Rose brushing off letters from her chest, for example.
The show's been renewed for S2, so I'm curious as to what they're gonna do with the pregnancy. She's not far along enough to give birth during the season finale, I think, but they have to do it at some point.

Also, I love Gustavo Santaolalla, so the fact that he's had a hand in the music of JtV is just sweet.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
You guys are EVIL. I just watched the first two episodes of Jane the Virgin, and now I am trying to resist buying more on itunes or Amazon.
