Ugly Betty -- Episodes discussion for remainder of season 3

Photobucket

Synopsis for 3/12/09 episode

Spoiler:


Betty meets Matt's mother (Christine Baranski); Hilda's family try to set her up with Archie (Ralph Macchio); Wilhelmina is faced with financial difficulties; Daniel's relationship with Molly undergoes another adjustment.



Okay, since some of you are still watching but are too lazy to create invidual episode threads, here's a place for ya. Knock yourselves out and chat away.

Remember the show goes on hiatus March 26th for 3 weeks.

I was ready to give up on the show 3 episodes ago, but the last two have rekindled my interest. Ditching the focus on the love "square" plus the Mode money troubles were two steps in the right direction.

Ditto.
Plus there's been more Marc and Amanda of late, and that's just gold.
Amanda's expression/body language after she handed the baby back to Christina last week was classic stuff.

Again, I just don't see the flaws that would make anyone want to give up on the show.

yes, that was depressing and becoming stale real fast.

Still not as much Amanda as I'd like, but a pretty good episode tonight. Need some caps of Willy in the black bustier

This digital blurring of the ladies' wrinkles is very distracting.

Both Willy and Claire's chins were smeared, and Baranski's entire face was out of focus. I thought it was bad enough on CSI when they blur out Helgenberger, but this is far worse!

Did anyone here watch the finale? My dvr cutoff the end, Daniel had just arrived to his place to see them pulling out a stretcher (I can assume what that meant - RIP) but did anything else happen? (I'm in Canada so no place to easily stream...)

That was only the end of the first episode. There were two.
I don't know why they did this whole getting married/cancer storyline.
Not sure why they had to bring Henry back either. It seems with this show, that they introduce a romantic interest for Betty and then write to later be a shlemp.

No, the stretcher scene was at the very end of the season finale.

I remember Betty getting a text from Daniel for her to come over and she showed up at his place and sat next to him on the stoop and was comforting him - he looked like he was in shock.

I forget the order of events, but there was also Willy putting the "hit" out on what's-his-name that stole all the company's money and Betty's (now) ex-boyfriend becoming her boss.

Thanks! A pretty good season that definitely picked up in quality in the last half... hopefully S4 will be more like this (and less like season 2).

Ha ha... sorry dude. This show is more about the dialogue and characters, rather than the plot twists, so I'm sure you can still enjoy it

I love the line from Willamena being disgusted that the free videos at the MAMMIES weren't blurays

Re: Ugly Betty -- Episodes discussion for remainder of season 3

Who do you think Willie is shocked to see in her bedroom? I say the guy she put a hit on, Conner. Anyone else?

I think they brought Henry back so Betty would have problems with Matt. And Molly's marriage and subsequent death were introduced so we could see that Daniel is maturing and is not all about bagging women now.

The season finale looked gorgeous in HD.

I read on TV Guide that ABC will move UB to Friday nights next season. That doesn't sound good.
