An Open Apology to... Ugly Betty

Betty, I was wrong. Sure, you went through a bit of lame patch last month, but recent events have made me realise you were just finding your feet.

The conclusion to the Daniel and Sofia storyline was the BEST EPISODE EVER, with Betty battling the disabled, Dad with fake grey hair dealing with his immigration official, Wilhemna's brief stint at being nice, crazy strippers, Daniel's alco-mom popping up again, and Amanda and Mark just being their usual ace selves (especially Becki Newton - Amanda - playing an even uglier version of Betty). Even Ashley Jensen is less pointlessly Scottish and annoying than before. Result.

And you've pulled a blinder by making that woman who were all thought was Fey Sommers turn out not to actually be Fey Sommers. Remember: play up the laughs, play down the not-that-intriguing intrigue.
