Ugly Betty: It ain't so superior
Oops, this is in response to someone else's post. It was too long to leave as a comment so I'm posting it here. I'm so not used to actually posting my own journals that I forget others can read it and would appreciate not having a 14000 character post so I'll put it under the cut and you can move along if you wish.

Everything was an annoyance to him. Andrey is slightly more laid back
Armando was awful. And it's why I'm always surprised by myself at the end.
Thanks for the clips, I absolutely will watch them.
There is so much wrong with the writing of Ugly Betty, and most of my issues are not D/B related.
Exactly. They're no more D/B related than they are with any other character.
Er... anyway, the Colombian version succeeds in so many areas where the American version fails, namely in the area of making the audience relate to Betty through her entire journey.
Exactly. I have a friend who somewhat shipped D/B in the beginning but basically grew to hate Betty so now that it's happening, she can't really experience the high. And I get that because Betty did annoy me a lot as the series wore on. It annoyed me that almost every single one of her relationships involved a triangle. It annoyed me that she landed the number of guys she did--to the point that some were obsessed with her. It annoyed me that she was supposed to be good at her job but we saw her often being terrible at it or putting other priorities in front of it. That she did that and still had a job didn't bother me but it did make it highly unbelievable that she'd advance to where she is for the finale.
