Being Mary Jane- Season 2 Finale Recap. #BMJFinale

The Being Mary Jane finale had several great moments. Its hard to speak on all of them, so I'm going to speak on four of the scenes that stood out the most to me. I'll discuss each scene in numbered point format.

Point One: Sheldon planned a nice dinner and a movie date for Mary-Jane and she called it corny. Ladies learn from that. When a man goes out of his way to "plan" a date even if it looks corny to you appreciate it and tell him that you appreciate it and enjoy his effort.

Point Two: I started to pay attention the moment Mary Jane asked about her toothbrush while staying at Sheldon's house, the moment he seemed to be annoyed by her presence in his home and when Mary Jane took off her shoes in the Kitchen and he took them up to put them a way it lead me to tweet that when women begin to spend more time at a man's home she should try to pay close attention to how he treats his home and I'll now add to that a woman should pay attention to how much time she spends there too. It's not easy for a man who has rules and is set in his way to change. So when he begins to open up, its best to tread carefully. I say the same thing for men too. Pay attention to how the woman treats her home most times these idiosyncrasies will not change.

Point Three: The discussion Mary Jane had with Sheldon after he kept throwing her toothbrush in the trash. Turns out Sheldon doesn't believe in "cohabitation", marriage or children. Yet he went into a relationship with her (Mary-Jane) knowing fully well she wanted all of the above. The writers of Being Mary-Jane brought up a very valid point. Why is it that we have to wait months before we start discussing what our expectations are. I firmly believe just like Mary-Jane that as soon as the "we are in a relationship" statement is made then that is the moment when every expectation should be laid out. It's ok to settle sometimes but when settling does not come with any compromises on the other persons part then please do like Mary Jane and walk away.

Point Four: The last scene left us hanging. As any season finale should. That crash was too real for me and I had to tweet that too. I'm sure Mara and the other writers of Being Mary Jane aren't going to kill off Gabriel Union's character so it will be interesting to see how Mary-Jane and all her relationships will change after the crash. Especially her relationship with her best friend and David whose "butt dialing" incident lead to Mary-Jane over hearing all the dirty secrets David and her BFF since childhood have been keeping from her. So hopefully the writers won't give Mary-Jane amnesia next season. That final scene also taught us all a valuable lesson about life. In the blink of an eye so much can happen and a lot can change.
