Sin Rostro was inactive for four years before returning and launching the current investigations.
We know Michael and his brother had a criminal past and Michael has lied/hidden facts before...could one of them be involved?

Good thought! Could be his bro, but if Michael himself is involved he sure is doing a good job of earnestly selling his interest in finding out who Sin Rostro is.

Yeah, I don't think Michael himself could have too much of a hand. :/ Very confusing.
Many episodes have foreshadowing of events to come and I've been rewatching the series so I'll keep my eyes peeled for Sin Rostro clues.

Nice! Please keep me posted on any evidence that

is Sin Rostro in particular.

 

[bearythebear]

Michael would be way more badass if he is Sin Rostro.


Also, I feel like the Grammy nomination will increase the shows renewal chances considerably.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this here, but Sin Rostro translates roughly into "No Face" or "Without Face", more specifically "faceless". There is one character that has some face issues, and I believe she showed up in the area less than 5 year ago.

Technically the

Well obviously, but I'm assuming he isn't "part" of the show, or even the world. Could be wrong and if I am I think it will be absolutely hilarious. I don't think it is who my clue suggests either. But I do think they want it to look like a possibility.

 

[tm24]

The narrator text keeps translating Sin Rostro as the Man With No Face. The fact that it keeps saying Man makes me jump on board the Rose train since the show has a habit of crossing out the narrator text since it's wrong some times.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

It being the narrator would be hilarious, how it'd work I have no idea but hilarious all the same.

 

[Seth C]

The problem I have is that it is based on OUR view of him, that he is faceless, we never see him. If Sin Rostro's translation actually is a hint, the person needs to be faceless in context, as he relates to the characters in the show. Unless they are hearing this faceless voice while we are...

 

[Clevinger]

I'm pretty far behind and trying to catch up. Delighted to hear about Gina's nomination.

btw, these parts of the narration are slaying me:

Steinbrenner it. Always shoot him from behind or with objects obscuring his face.

 

[Blackhead]

So happy about the Golden Globe nom.

As for the Rose as Sin Rostro theory, I think it crossed my mind during this ep but I realllllly find Rose eminently unlikeable, and not in a fun-to-hate way like Petra, so...still hoping for

Spoiler

Petra's Mom

or

Spoiler

Jane's Dad.

Meta twist:

Spoiler

Sin Rostro is the Narrator.

ETA: oh, I didn't comment on the latest ep. It wasn't my favorite ever but it was really good. So glad there's a new ep next week. This ep was solid, just unspectacular to me in comparison to some recent heights. Also, the twist with Rose's lie was brutal to watch.

“@JarettSays: This is Anthony Mendez — #JaneTheVirgin's never-seen, but incredibly important narrator. ”yessssssssssss

He's a voice actor (GTA!) so unlikely to appear on screen. It would crazy ambitious to have the narrator as Sin Rostro :O

Do you dislike Rose the actor or the character? I think you're supposed to dislike the character, that would make her a good evil Sin Rostro lol

Petra's mum would also make sense but only if she's been pretending that she can't walk all this time (telenovela trope ) It would explain why Petra's mum keycard was used to access the stairwell by the person who killed Zazo and why Petra is covering for that person

Or Sin Rostro is Rafeal's real mum *boom*

Sin Rostro as any of these mums would contrast nicely and thematically with the Jane's family of mums...

Oh yes, I'd read he was a voice actor. He's awesome in JTV. This seems to be his big breakout role for sure.

I think I dislike Rose the actress and character. I dunno. Something about her rubs me the wrong way, no offense to the actress. She probably reminds me of someone unpleasant or somethin'. I do think Petra's Mom makes some sense in a trope-y way. I'd be shocked if they were willing to do that big of a turnaround with Jane's Dad, as interesting as it could be. It would be character assassination for any pleasant character with a future positive role in the show.

I didn't even *think* of Rafe's real Mom...interesting!

 

[tm24]

Rose is the perfect telenovela antagonist. I can't get over how perfectly the character has been portrayed.

 

[Blackhead]

Oh Petra lolol

 

[Mesousa]

Haaa Two steps ahead.

 

[Blackhead]

NOoo. too much drama :/

Golden Globe nomination for JTV and Gina Rodriguez:

Holy shit this is crazy awesome and unexpected. So well deserved too.

 

[Megabyte117]

Holy shit. I yelled at that ending. Hooooly shit. She better be alright, because I don't know if my heart could take that. Goddamn. This show is beyond me.

 

[TripOpt55]

Awesome way to end the Fall season. I love this show.

Yeah, called it too that Magda could walk. I'm just praying that Abuela is ok!

Didn't she walk in one of the earlier episodes?

Have this show been renewed for a second season or how have it fared since the pilot?

http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/12/16/jane-the-virgin-ratings-rise/

The fall finale of The CW’s Jane the Virgin jumped in the ratings after last week’s unexpected Golden Globes nominations.

The dramedy had 1.3 million viewers and a 0.6 adults 18-49 rating Monday night, up 20 percent from last week to match its series-premiere best. Jane received a Globe nomination for best comedy series and star Gina Rodriguez was nominated for best actress in a TV comedy.

While Jane‘s ratings haven’t been close to a hit for the network, the nominations pretty much guarantee the well-reviewed series will see a second season.

 

[Amir0x]

man that's cool, I hope Jane can eventually find her audience.

First show in years I can actually watch with my family when they come over lol

Yeah, I've really been consistently enjoying it. Hoping it keeps it up through the season. (It's my weekly thing to look forward to on Mondays.)

Are we going with dead or classic telenovela/soap opera cliche memory loss for Abuela?

Coma! We haven't had a good classic soap opera coma yet.

That she had better recover from. >:I

While I think coma would be preferable, I can see the (temporary) memory loss happening based on the preview.

They could totally mine this for some real emotional scenes next episode too.

legitimately caring about what happens to characters on a soap... there really is a first time for everything.

[Blackhead]

Rewatching JtV yet again lol. Some foreshadowing? from the pilot:

Narrator says, "Later, when asked about the so called immaculate conception of Jane Gloriana Villanueva, Luisa Alver would say it was the biggest mistake of her life. [Rose walks into the room] It wasn't."​

whoa, should have known then that Rose wasn't a good person lol

Lina tells Roman Zazo, when he is assigning the employee duties for the party, that everyone calls Jane ' Jazz'​

Has Jane ever been called Jazz since then or was that just a joke?

 

[shadowkat]

All caught up.
