I love the show, it's really good, but it is bringing itself to a short end only season 4 and it has already been through so much, i understand that you need to come up with a next episode but the show will come to a short end the characters have been through so much in so little time. I love all the characters though but i dont think jane/deb belonged with owen.. however i enjoy the fact deb is in jane's body she may not show a lot of respect for jane's past, she isnt actually jane and although deb got a better deal then jane i think she made the character better, she radiates a better personality and although i am excited for season 5 im not to sure i will enjoy real jane being owen i think the old jane should of stayed where she was and i think it's just thrown a wrench into the show and it will crash and burn... but i hope i am wrong

I likes Owen and I also liked that other tall lawyer
She dated before (I think he had to travel, work abroad
Or something)
I think Grayson's character is too passive and
Unmanly in my opinion
It's kind of boring if she keeps loosing her (Jane/deb)

Am I the only one who likes the twist in the season final? I dislike Owen. I don't thin he's a good match for Jane/Deb. I also think Original Jane isn't nasty. Original Jane is allowed to be upset, she has watched something that isn't supposed to happen. she just wants her life back and i think that's allowed.
Original Jane is kind, and reasonable. Remember, she volunteers and helps others out. Jane/Deb hasn't done a single thing that Jane would do. She never bothered to find out why her mom and dad were divorced, why Jane doesn't have many friends why she was alone. She never bothered to "remember" I think she is still shallow. She thinks of her self all the time. I'm disliking Deb even more now.
However, I didn't like Owen and Jane together. It just doesn't feel right to me.
At the end, when jane and Grayson kissed (either on the cheek or lips) Jane bent over Owen's body and looked up at Grayson, and she said "What have we done?" I think Owen would have still had his heart atta

I was very disappointed with how season 4 ended. I honestly thought that Jane/ Deb will work things out with Grayson and finally hook up. I am looking forward to see what the next season is going to have in store for the viewers.
Going back to a comment made of old Jane coming back to get even with Jane/ Deb, I am excited to see how it is going to pan out. I really want Grayson to finally find love. I mean after losing his soon to be fiance in a car accident, and being dumped at the altar by his fiance, it will be nice to see him in love again and happy.

I was so shocked at the end of the episode. Once I pulled myself together I thought it was pretty funny that the real Jane came into Owens body. I can't wait for the next season!!!!

Maybe mcblondie was right and she really was kissing Grayson's cheek not lips but I'm sure that Owen was thinking that she kissed his lips.! When we will see season5? I cant't wait for this anymore.!
And I hope that Jane will be with Grayson.!

I was so shocked at the end of season 4 I was left staring open-mouthed at the screen for around 30 seconds, while my adrenalin reached an all time high. I love Diva but I think that it should have ended there. I mean, all the episodes follow the same pattern and the only extra treats are the rare moments when Jane and Grayson share a moment. I would have liked to see her tell him that she is Deb and they fall helplessly into each other's arms. Isn't that what should be the perfect ending? I remember Fred once told Jane/Deb that she must not confess to Grayson but allow him to fall in love with Jane instead. And, it happened.
I do not like the real Jane but to think that she returned as Owen, that's just icky. Also, I absolutely don't think that Owen will return in Deb's body because her body has already decayed. It would not be a pretty sight. Besides, think of the ramifications and all the questions and chaos that would cause. I mean, the show pretty much down graded the 'Heaven

I really enjoyed the first two seasons, but by season 3 I gradually watched less episodes. I did however promise myself to watch the last one or two episodes of Drop Dead Diva. Now that I've witnessed Jane's Getting Married, I really hope the next one has a better plot. I'll attempt to watch one more but that may be it for my Drop Dead Diva fan days. I do applaud the actors, creativity, love confussion and the music video scenes.

Well, it looks as if it's going to be a mess! If the "real" Jane is allowed to comeback in Owen's body to give the reincarnate Deb (user of Jane's body) a bit of heck -- I am afraid that they are going to allow Owen who is probably now in heaven watching this fiasco - to look down in dissent and one day come back to earth as -guess who-- GRAYSON! If they don't kill Grayson off to allow Owen back on the scene, they could allow the real Jane to give "Deb Jane" hell through the resurrected Owen..... This is going to be a season to remember. I hope that the writers have great things coming from their pens! I will be glad when it's back on.

It has always bothered me that Deb got to take Jane's hard work, education, reputation, singing voice, and money without having to do a lick of work. She doesn't even appreciate it. As though being fat is the trade-off for a life that would otherwise require a decade of education and work. To this day, Jane giggles every time she knows anything and rarely cracks a book.

I'm hoping its just a scenario for Jane/Deb to see what could have been! Don't know how Jane in Owen is going to work? It would have been better for Deb to be in Owen's body - because then Jane wont want Grayson anymore, but Deb (in Owen will) lol!

I think it is too obvious that Old Jane would come down to Owen's body. When season 5 starts, I would not be surprised that Owen is Owen. Not sure if the wedding will happen though. And to be honest, if Luke is supposed to be Deb/Jane's guardian angel, where was he to prevent the kiss? I think Old Jane will come back into a person who is in Deb's life and try to get even with her. This show needs more then 13 shows a season. Give this show 23 or 24 episodes and start it in the fall.

We don't know it was the real Jane that came back. It could have been Fred. I love this show but I, too, agree that bringing Jane back into Owen's body is not the best move. I can't wait for next summer!

WTF !!!! "Just Jane" in Owen's body ?! That is just purely SICK !!! Finally Jane/Deb had the chance to be with him...and btw, yup the kiss was weird...not on the lips I'm afraid ! Grayson's confession was beautiful !
Happy that Kim and PArker are gonna settle down ! Thought they already did... Do not like Luke... I was sooo happy to See Fred !! If the twist at the end of the episode turns out to be true, I hope he'll be the guardian angel. But I really don't like old Jane... she's not very pleasant. And obviously she'll be the main protagonist so that doesn't help ! Gosh Owen and Jane/Deb will never be together now...
I also loooooved the bridesmaids dresses, thought it looked better on Teri. Cannot wait for next season. Hope I'll like it.
The case for the Tumor shoulda been in another episode, true...

I LOVE THIS SHOW! I LOVE THIS SHOW! I LOVE THIS SHOW! I have tried to recruit friends to it, but they think it's "silly."
The point IS: it is SILLY! And I love it for that! I loved the twist ending on the season's end--the entire premise of the show is ludicrous...and that is what makes it FUN! Folks--don't get all serious about "not liking" Owen or liking him or whatever....it's NOT REAL! And that's what makes it enjoyable!
It's getting like Pygmalion now...what a great turn the writers have taken! Now, will Owen come back in Deb's body?
This fan can hardly wait for more craziness! Love the cast so much.
And BTW, the bridesmaid dresses were to DIE for.

If Jane comes down from Heaven into Owen's body that would ruin the show. Grayson only likes Jane/Deb because he knows Deb is in there. Owen loves Jane for who she is. Jane can come sown from Heaven as a dog or some thing, but not Owen.

answering the post before this about who is Harrison, the show never taked about Harrison. They did, season 2...Claire Harrison. She was getting with Parker, she wasn't really in the show because they said she left the firm after her and Parker ended things (that stuff was never shown in the show, it was supposed to be a really long time ago) anyways, she comes back trying to sue her ex husband or whatever and they had that prenup on that napkin...and she came back brifely to work, but then Kim found out that she committed fraud and u never see her again in the show.
and as for Season 4...LOOOVED it, I think Grayson and JaneDeb should end up together, I hate Owennnnnnnnn. Nice and all and a good character, I am just completely team Grayson.
hahahaha wouldn't it just blow everyones mind tho, if now, that Old Jane is in Owens body, if him and JaneDeb STILL get back together HAHAHA, old jane dates new jane! That would be a twist.
and I love Parker and Kim together that makes me

I love the show BUT,I hope that the Jane/Owen thing is a joke.Please don't do that.The show is funny and good without the mellow drama of that story line.One "return" from the dead is enough.Kim and Parker please.I hope that they bring his son back.I didn't like the way that storyline played out.Parker is too good of a "jerk/bad" lawyer to have let that happen to him.And could someone please tell me who is the Harrison in Harrison and Parker?Four years and we have never seen this person.Parker is a partner.I hope that the show gets back on track.

The previous comments mention most of why I hated this season finale. I have loved this show up until season 4; that is where it started to go downhill.
-Grayson taking this long to profess his love for Jane, and his timing... Really??!! Should have just left that one alone: move on.
-Jane coming back in Owen's body??!! Come on! I know this show is "fantasy", but this just made it ludicrous.
I will not be back for season 5 if there is one - as this finale really left me thinking, "WTF?!" Ridiculous. This is too far fetched now to be even remotely good next season. Left a bad taste in my mouth.
I will say that I loved:
- Fred: i think he was the best character, is that weird? new angel was not a good idea
- Owen's character in this season
- Terry
- idea of Grayson and Jane getting together by season 3, but not after they took the urgency away of him telling Jane how he felt
- how deb developed into an amazing woman with the help of Jane: they made a super combination
Thanks

There was too much going on in this episode. We should have seen just one court case and saved the "slashed his brake line" plot for next season. The wedding scenes felt rushed and Grayson's timing was horrible. He's had four seasons to get closer to Jane/Deb and he waits until she's in her wedding dress to finally be honest. The writers have used this "aborted wedding" premise before so I was hoping for something fresher. I'm glad I read the reviews because the ending baffled me. I didn't realize that Jane came back in Owen's body. I know the entire premise is a fantasy, but come one...how convenient was that ending. Instead of returning as a member of a biker gang or a woman in a rest home, she returns as her own fiance? I would have preferred to see Jane return as another woman competing with Deb/Jane to get her life back. This wasn't a cliffhanger, it was a "do I really care"
moment for me.

I was also thinking that Jane and Owen were finally going to have happiness, and then Grayson comes out of nowhere with his confession of love, and Jane/Deb just falls right into it, even though she is supposedly over Grayson and in love with Owen. It just seemed really contrived there at the end, and I feel so bad for Owen having to have a nasty original Jane in his male body...that must be horrible for him, and I hope that they get Jane out of him and back to being a guy soon after the next season begins. I just think that Jane/Deb and Grayson are a mistake. Grayson is still in love with Deb, though he says he has moved on, I think the part of Jane he is responding to is her Deb side, which means he doesn't really love Jane at all. I didn't like the season finale at all
