I'm so traumatized by Betty and Henry not getting together, that I can't even be properly upset about Santos.
Seriously!! The tragedy! And do you think the baby is really Henry's or the dentist's? All I know is, Henry better show up again before long!
Oh! And Amanda being Fay's daughter!!!! How much you wanna bet that her father is Old Man Meade (who I can only think of as Caleb from The O.C.)?
Now *that* was a real shock! I bet you're right about Bradford Meade being her dad. I love Amanda, so I'd be happy if she got an expanded storyline this season. I felt so sorry for her when that fauxmo designer jerk treated her so callously, but I'm glad she had Marc there for her. He's one of my very favorite characters on the show.
And Wilhemina trading back her wedding date so she could get Marc back from Gina Gershon (who just *rocks* the hell out of her role)!!!
Ha, yeah, I love Gina Gershon as Fabia. Those lips! And I'm so glad Wilhelmina got Marc back. I mean, you knew it had to happen, but it was just really satisfying.
I am totally digging this show!

The baby has GOT to be the dentist's! Otherwise Henry won't come back, because he was all, "I grew up without a dad, so I gotta be there for my kid." And Henry HAS TO COME BACK!!! The scene in the copy room was, like, the sweetest thing I have EVER seen.

The episode where Marc came out to his bitch of a mom made me just cry and cry. I kept yelling at the TV, "Do it, Marc! Tell her! TELL HER!!!"

"I was hoping you'd come to my wedding, so you could be my 'something old'."
A quick aside on Bell's Palsy--Jamey Sheridan (the first Lt. on L&O:CI as well as Randall Flagg in The Stand) also has it, and that's why he was wearing an eyepatch during some episodes of L&O:CI (they gave the disease to his character as well).

Hee! Yep. Ugly Betty is sometimes a bit OTT for me, but when it works, it works great.

A friend of mine back home has it. It kinda drags one side of her face down. Sometimes it's better than others.

Oh yeah, that scene was wrenching. (Although as a friend commented, "I highly doubt Patti LuPone has a hard time recognizing a gay man when she sees one.")

Ha! That was fantastic.

Totally. And I even love the OTT-ness, because to me that makes it truer to its telenovela roots. Also, I've realized, the show really appeals to my inner (or not-so-inner) fag hag, and so the OTT-ness works in that context too.
HIMYM's ratings were down a bit. Wah.
HIMYM is up against Chuck.
I wish the networks would learn from the upstart cable companies and start putting reruns in the middle of the night so we single-Tivo people can capture them later.
At least HIMYM does summer reruns.
The Office
I'm rewatching S3 and I noticed something: When Jim came back from Stamford, he stopped calling Pam "Beasley" and started calling her Pam, and when he started dating whatsherface, he stopped calling her whatsherface and started calling her "Fillipilli" or whatever.
Interesting switch, I think. Now I need for disc 4 to hurry and get to my house so I can watch the remainder of the season and see if he switches back.
The plot with Gael was slightly distracting as it pings pretty close to the latin rebound lover for Rachel on Friends (Paolo?) that caused Ross to have big pangs of resentment and jealousy.
That's funny, because I didn't even think of that, but I was comparing it to middle-era Friends with the heavy guest stars.
