Katy and Maya.I didn’t understand their relationship.I appreciate that Katy is a single mom scrapping to make ends meat which isn’t easy as a wannabe actress and waitress.But from we saw in this episode the reason she isn’t always there for maya isn’t because of the hardships of single parenthood but more because of her insecurities.How she puts on a show for everyone trying to hide who she really is.She even admitted that the reason she doesn’t show up is because she feels like a disappointment and basically just stopped trying until Shawn came into her life.I don’t think maya needed Shawn she already had a great father figure with Cory what she needed was full mom not half a mom.I honestly think she wasn’t ready to be a mother.Not that I think she’s a bad mom.

The love triangle doesn’t make any sense to me lol.

From what I remember Maya seen a cute boy on the subway and she literally pushed Riley to talk to him. Then Riley realizes she likes him and Lucas realizes he likes her. Then Maya realizes she likes him too? And he likes her as well? It’s like I understand it but I don’t understand why this needed to happen the way it did or even at all but mainly the way it did.

Zay’s Character

Zay Babineaux was by far the funniest character with the LEAST amount of screentime.

It SUCKS.

They did him so dirty.

The side comments and the punchlines keep me cackling EVERYTIME.

Age Swap Fanfic?

So has anyone ever read or heard of a fanfic where Maya and Riley are in the 90s and Cory and Shawn are in the 2010s? I think that would be really interesting.

Girl meets forginvness project

Just watched Boy meets world and decided to watch GMW too. The beginning of the episode makes me so angry. Katy telling Topanga she can’t be waitress and giving an imoression that you should just let people treat you like trash if you’re a waitress…

riley lucas maya

i’m rewatching and i’m shocked that so many people ship maya and lucas. if maya liked lucas (actually liked and not just cause riley did), then she should have said something. not be close to him all the time and flirty and have intimate, emotional moments with him knowing riley loves him. riley’s a saint for allowing it. the more i watch, the more i realize how horrible every single relationship is in this show (except smackle and farkle cause they’re so cute). it broke my heart watching riley grow into this person (as annoying as it may be to most) who is so sweet and learning. maturing is hard. but maya…she gets new clothes and thinks she’s all that. i think riley deserves SO much better. i am a riley girl. i get her. ALSO: hated every scene with maya and lucas flirting. eg that scene at the dance where she’s all “you’re dancing with me. why is that?😏” like girl please why would you say that to the guy your “best friend” likes? and the fact riley let him go for maya…she’s an AMAZING friend.

How it should’ve been ( couple wise )

Maya gets with zay then sometime later Josh comes back around and then she’s conflicted blah blah blah. Next farkle and Riley I mean come on they’re literally Corey and topanga and in my opinion have more chemistry than Lucas and Riley. Finally Lucas ends up with smackle which makes sense because he’s this cute boy who ends up with the nerdy girl. For a little extra bit Shawn ends up with Angela and Maya becomes their niece or god kid.

Normalizing platonic "I love you's" in childrens shows

I was rewatching Girl meets Texas part 3 again and just noticed how Riley and Farkle hugged and they told eachother "I love you".

I know they say this a couple times throughout the show (Most if not all characters) and I absolutely love that. I love how it wasn't a weird thing in the show to show your love/express feelings for platonic friends.

Need help finding a clip!

I ran across a clip from gmw and want to use it in my class. The characters were in a classroom discussing “what is money” any guidance would be great! Thank you

Layout?

Does anyone know the layout for the Mathew’s apartment? Every room has a fire escape that are connected. Everyone can just easily climb the fire escape up. Riley and auggie’s room are both at the end of a hall. 😭😭

CHARLIE

What if Charlie Gardner was the son of artists from the episode of when he met topanga in the art museum? Like think about it.... look how he was so into Riley. Maybe his dad told him about this one girl took his breathe away years ago and he was lucky enough to have known her for the short time and he would never forget about.

just a thought

Lucas enjoyed having two girls

In my opinion Lucas enjoyed having two girls drool over him and the best part is he didn’t even have to pick. He knew that maya and Riley would essentially be fine with just following him around.

why was girl meets her monster so weird?

Like i get the lesson is responsibility and honouring past commitments but i'm sure riley had to have been raving about the series finale for weeks, maybe months, why would topanga ask for riley's help knowing she wanted to watch something she had been watching for years at this point, and why suddenly was riley expected to help out at the bakery, we've never heard or seen that happen before, not to mention the whole 'everyone is scared of topanga and she's a lawyer so she's always right' thing the show had going on. Plus the way that no lesson was actually taught, it was topanga's way or the highway, just a weird episode in my opinion

I cannot stand Riley. There I said it

She’s a know it all, I don’t think she has lots of boundaries. In my opinion, she didn’t have a lot of awareness while simultaneously acting like she knew everything’s She was always annoying to me, I always preferred Maya. I feel like they really wanted Maya to be “the black sheep” but it never was that way to me, they tried too hard to make Riley the “nice, adorable, admirable” one and I don’t know I just never saw it that way. Maybe I can just relate more Maya. Idk

Maya selling her clothes

Was the stupidest storyline this show did. And there were plenty lol. But I just think it was such cheap writing that after Maya was gifted all of these clothes by Shawn, was SO EXCITED about them and proud to “fashion show” them to Riley afterwards, even made comments in later eps how much she appreciates her new clothes, they go and do the whole “you became Riley so you must get rid of all your new clothes.” My gosh, the girl had a shopping spree, not an existential life crisis. Give her a break 😅

I love this show, it’s a guilty pleasure, but what the hell were the writers thinking with this? It’s sooo appalling that a teenage girl would switch up her wardrobe? Especially when someone she looked up to was willing to spend his money so that she could have the opportunity to splurge a little on clothes in a way she was never able to before? They took a sweet gesture and made it seem like the worst thing they ever happened to her 😅

what went wrong with girl meets world?

this might just be me but i feel the audience that girl meets world is targeted towards is half/half, one side being young adults / pre teenagers as it is a disney show and the other half are adults or just really anyone who grew up with the original show. i don’t there is really anything that went wrong, obviously there will be comparisons as it was adaption of another show but it’s targeted towards two VERY different demographics, and it shows with the dialogue, issues etc that are included on the show. girl meets world tried to tackle a more pg version of the issues faced on the original show and it failed because they weren’t able to handle it to it’s full potential due to networking - i do think that the show at a great impact on the audience it was intended for, i know it did for me when i was growing up, i will say the writers definitely didn’t handle some issues the best but with one’s like friendship, dealing with bullying, the loss of a loved one etc. - it hit the nail on the end and presented it in a way that was easy for it’s younger viewers to watch and understand. i think that many of it’s older audience were blinded by nostalgia in a way and didn’t take into account that the show was being revived on DISNEY of all places, obviously it wasn’t going to reach it’s peak or atleast being up to par with the original on this network.

can you tell me if this insanity makes sense (made these comments on no sleep) (about maya and joshs age gap)

I was looking at youtube and a comment section and a comment got me thinking and when im sleep deprive i overthink cause im kinda delirous anyways heres this copied and pasted from the comments i made

okay i think i got the math right during josh's first appearance he is 16 and maya is 13 than maya is 14 and for like 2 weeks they are 14 and 16 than he's 17 in season 2 and he's starting college in the fall so he's not a college freshman yet he's still a high school senior makes sense i had friends who had been accepted to college in sophomore year so that once they graduate high school they were all set so when she is 15 he will be 18 a few weeks later tho i realized the show actually has horrible math my brother and i have a bigger age gap than theirs (3 years 6 months) if you do the math he should've been in the 11th grade not the 12th cause when i was a freshman my brother was in the 12th grade,however since they unintentionally (at least thats what im saying it is) have maya fail a grade (i don't think she did since it's never mentioned but maya turned 14 and riley is like 13 by now since her birthday was in December tho the age thing now kinda make sense my brother also turns the age before hes in a grade tho now that just makes things for josh make even less sense) so if hypothetically say maya's 13 not 14 in the 7th grade than josh should have been in the 10th grade not 12th so when maya turned 13 she was in the 6th grade and josh was in the 10th doesnt make sense but either way unless josh got into college early he shouldve been a highschool senior also i realized it wouldve been slightly less creepy if they used his original birthdate in 1999 from boy meets world. it the age gap would've been 1 year 11 months 2 days. instead of 2 years 11 months 2 days.(i used a age gap calculator) it's almost 2 years and might not have made much of a difference but it's still a whole year younger than the age they made him i'm sorry for rambling but i tend to overthink stuff when i dont go to bed at night and now it's 6 am so i bassically drunk when i dont go to sleep (i would explain how but than i;d start rambling again)

thats the first comment than i realized i might've done the math wrong so i made another comment

if you read my blob of insanity ignore that cause in my tiredness i realized I did in fact get the math wrong, I accidently did the math as if maya was born in 2003 but she's born in 2001 so I did that rant for no reason, so my brother is 3 grades above me and was born 1999 and my other brother is a grade above me born 2001 meaning they'd be 2 grades apart. in boy meets world josh was born in 1999 meaning if they did their ages right (they mentioned Lucas failing a grade but not maya so i think the age is just an error) (maya turning 14 still kinda in the 7th grade still kinda confuses me but i think im starting to get it and its slowly making sense now) if maya was in 7th grade technically josh should have been in 9th grade. so, they deliberately went out of their way to have that age gap and have him in college. when their real birthdates would have made it a slightly more acceptable age gap
