The ending of last night's episode was amazing.
When all the crap hit the fan, it was great.
And Amanda and Marc were on last night!

"Okay you're in on the Forever 18 deal."
"50/50?"
"60/40"
"45/55"
"Don't push it bitch!"

I think last night's was one of the best, with some destined to be classic lines, including Wilhelmina referring to Marc as her "seeing-eye gay."

The "seeing-eye gay" was my favorite line, too. But then again, anything involving Marc makes me happy.

Amanda and Marc are the new Jack and Karen. Love 'em!

My crush on Henry continues to blossom.

My favorite part was when Justin was leading Wilhelmina around.

And when Betty was leaving Henry:

Henry: Where you going?
Betty: To become an only child.


And the last line of the night was classic:

Daniel to Betty after Alexis's public announcement: Is it fun having a sister?

Henry is extremely hot indeed. Pity that he's straight in real life (not that I'd ever even meet him if he were gay anyways).
I really loved this week's episode, Rebecca Romijn is actually playing a role that fits her talent (that show she did in the WB was painful to watch).
I have a renewed respect for Vanessa Williams as an actress, she owns every single one of her scenes and I admire her ability to poke fun at herself. I certainly loved the Justin/Wilhemena relationship, it was genius: "Actually, it's Justin, but you can call me whatever you want, I love you." That kid is an amazing actor, reminds me of myself when I was his age, little gay Hispanic boy.
Sometimes it is too obvious that they're trying to make Marc and Amanda the new Jack and Karen, but this week they handled it pretty well. Amanda actually said "65/45" which doesn't add up to 100%, that's what was so funny about that line.
Ana Ortiz and America Ferrara have amazing chemistry, it's always fun to see them play scenes together. Overall, it was nice to see a good episode again, I wasn't enjoying it much since they came back from the Winter break.

ray-andallthatjazz86, you're so right.

I can't wait for every Thursday

This show is a blast. Everytime I get a little worried it's going a little over-the-top, they really bring it back in with some really great jokes. Betty would make a great musical. I hate to say it, but this show is fabulous. The FullHouse hug moments kinda make me cringes and the underscore is a little much. This show old Walt Disney adage; “ For every laugh there should be a tear.”

Last night was the first time I think they said the word “gay” (seeing-eye gay LOL). This show does not need to explain anything and I love it.

If that little boy does not win an Emmy that award show should be cancelled. He is fantastic.

He and America and Vanessa NEED to get Emmys!

Spoilers! Spoilers!






In an upcoming episode, Justin's going to get a little bruised. Is it because he wants to be a "twirler" or is it because of something more noble? And Santos comes back! And Henry gets...duhn-duhn-DUHN...a girlfriend. (And it ain't Betty!) AND someone confesses to Fey's murder! (And it ain't Mr. Meade!) Oh, and Betty has a one-episode love interest!

Interesting story on Mark Indelicato (Justin):

"Justin's sexuality has never been addressed on the show, but Betty creator Silvio Horta, who is gay and came out to his Cuban-American family at age 19, says the character will experience "the journey" as he matures. "I see myself in him," Horta says. "Growing up, I certainly felt like an outsider at times. But there's this sweet innocence in Justin that sees the positive."

A Pennsylvania native, Mark began singing songs from The Little Mermaid at age 3. He calls acting and singing "my passions."

He was dancing in his school musical, 45 Minutes to Broadway, when his manager jumped on a New York casting call for "not a buff typical Latino boy," Mark recalls. "And as you can see, I'm not the typical Latino boy."

Certainly not. Mark is a quarter Puerto Rican, 75% Italian and 100% showman, with musical preferences ranging from pop to alternative to musical theater.

"Mark nails the character — being able to play up the flamboyance," Horta says.

Adds America Ferrera, who plays Betty: "He loves what he does — like a little kid playing."

Ferrera says she, Mark and Ana Ortiz, who plays Justin's mother, Hilda, "sit around the set singing musicals. We're recently obsessed with Dreamgirls, and last week we were singing Hairspray."

Mark will sing Hairspray's breakout song, Good Morning, Baltimore, on the Feb. 15 episode when Justin gets trapped with his parents in a subway car and breaks into song to entertain the passengers.

"It's hilarious," Mark promises. "We did this whole choreography with '60s music."

Tonight's episode finds Justin trying out for his school's color guard team and getting beaten up after another kid says disparaging things about his mom.

Mark avoids such altercations by taking part in an online charter school. "I don't have to wake up every day and go to regular school," says the seventh-grader, who has still managed to make friends in Los Angeles.

He clicked with a girl in the apartment complex where he and his mother, Lynn, are living. His father, beverage salesman Mark Sr., will join the family in March and begin interviewing for jobs and searching for a family home. Accompanying his father on the cross-country journey will be Mark's pet bird, a peach-fronted conure named Bella.

Meanwhile, as the season progresses, Justin will be dealing with the possibility of his mother reuniting with his father, Santos. The macho dad has so far had trouble accepting Justin, but Horta says the relationship will evolve.

"There's a great emotional story line to play there," he says.

Passing the mall's cinemas, Mark says the actors who play his TV mom and grandfather have become his movie buddies. Last year, he and Tony Plana (grandfather Ignacio) watched Marie Antoinette, while Mark and Ortiz took in a screening of The Devil Wears Prada.

He cites Queen Latifah as his personal acting muse "because she has the endorsement (deal) with Cover Girl. I wouldn't want to endorse Cover Girl, but maybe something else to get all that free stuff."

Though not yet a teen, Mark is already using skin-care products and has visited the mall's Kiehl's store. "Kiehl's is great," he says. "And my mom and I have begun using a (product) called Clarins."

Sporting Prada sunglasses, Mark says his keen knowledge of fashion predated his Betty casting.

"Of course, you know what Prada is," he explains. "Maybe I didn't know Valentino and Michael Kors, but I knew Coach, Gucci, Versace and Dolce & Gabbana. Fashion means a lot. The way you look is the way people judge you. I don't care what people say, that's the way people are."

Type_A_Tiff, I'm guessing Willhemina killed Fey and amanda might hook up with Henry.

Ha, what a nice Wicked reference.

[popular_elphie]

Posted: 2/8/07 at 8:08pm

Knew someone was going to post about that.

Seems like a musical-ish episode. They just mentioned Evita.

[MLE]

Posted: 2/8/07 at 8:10pm

I thought they said Evita. I wasn't sure, of course it was the one time I wasn't paying full attention!

I know Wicked is, through some corporate hoop-dee-doo, affiliated with Universal (which owns NBC) but do they also have something going on with Disney/ABC? The family on "Brothers and Sisters" went to see Wicked for their mom's birthday a week or two ago, and now this on "Ugly Betty"...yes, I'm aware it's just the hottest musical right now and there's probably nothing going on, but I do wonder...

[Raviolisun]

Posted: 2/8/07 at 8:17pm

They've mentioned Wicked on Brothers and Sisters before that, also.
