First of all, I love Ugly Betty. I have been waiting for this show since upfronts, and it's just as good as I hoped it would be. America Ferrera is amazing, and OMG, it's like The Devil Wears Prada, but with a real girl for a change*. I've kept my eye on America since Real Women Have Curves and she's just so fucking refreshing. I feel this ( Read more... )

Yes yes yes on "Ugly Betty." I loved last night's episode, and it was so refreshing to me to see a "real" woman in a role like that, instead of a supermodel in glasses. Also, I was happy that the point of the whole ordeal did not end up coming down to giving her a makeover so she could fit into someone else's mold.

It was tremendous. I'm sure her style will evolve with time, but I hope she's always true to herself, which is really what counts. Also, I desperately want to write the Ugly Duckling story for when her braces come off, but then I think that that defeats the purpose, because she really is adorable. And entire too good for her boss, who is clearly going to have to develope a dependency on her.

I have never been so fucking disappointed in this show in my entire LIFE.

If McSteamy hadn't come back, I would stop watching. As it is, I'll be watching SPN, flipping back to GA during commercial breaks.

Whatever. Your taste is already highly suspect. I wrote HP yesterday with dead babies. I win.

Amen to Ugly Betty! We watched it last night, and while I found it to be a tiny bit predictable (you had to know she would finally quit, and then he would come to his senses, etc...), I really liked the premise behind it. It's a little quirky, which I fear may turn people away from it and leave it in the land of the really fucking good shows that got cancelled (i.e., Kitchen Confidential!) but hopefully it'll catch on 'cause I dig it, yo!

*sniff* R.I.P. KC.

Shit. I still think about that show like every other week, or you know, every time I read about FOX's shitty ass programming.

Rondah and I still have the episode with Michael Vartan saved on our TiVo and once in a while we watch it, just so we can see the part where he screams, "YOUR CUISINE IS CA-CA!". It cracks me up every fucking time, without fail!

That show was genius, but unfortunately most people were too stupid to understand it. Bastards.

I have it on DVD, my friend burned them for me, but I need a new DVD player cos mine doesn't read burned DVDs, so I'm a bit SOL because the FUCKWITS AT FOX (like they can hear me if I Caps Lock) haven't put it on DVD.

Bastards.

Bastards everywhere.

Bailey is APOLOGIZING to Izzie for acting like a fool? She's not responsible for that shit, because no, she could NOT have stoppied Izzie. She could have taken her off the case and it wouldn't have kept Izzie out of Denny's room.

WORD!

I was SO FUCKING FURIOUS with the last ten minutes of this show. All of these people SUCK except for Addison.

WORD. Except for you know, Alex, Alex is keeping it real and being Alex. Everybody else is fired.

Yeah, Alex is pretty super awesome. I would love it if he and Addison hooked up. Or he and Callie because OMG GEORGE WTF is wrong with you? "I will love you soonish?" IDIOT. He's dating her to get over Meredith and she so deserves better than that.

I was totally sussing out the Alex/Callie in comments further down. Now that would rock, because he'd be all butch and she'd be like whatever and he'd be like, we should have sex right here and now, and she'd be all, you're not hung up on Meredith's underwear are you? And he'd be all, nah, she's too skinny for me. Plus, I already have my own issues.
