(S02E02) The photo says it all, doesn't it? The humor, campiness, and wickedness were back in full effect. There were some sad moments left over from Santos' death, and I'm worried about Justin's newfound interest in basketball, but apart from that the episode was perfect. I'm suddenly hungry for a Naomi Campbell Tuna Meltdown.

(S02E01) Betty's back! The season premiere was an excellent bookend to last season's finale. While the finale ended on a sad note, tonight's premiere let the characters confront their problems and look ahead to the future. This episode was all about letting go of the past and starting fresh, something that many of the characters desperately needed to do.

(S01E05) One of the issues I've had with Ugly Betty since it started is that, beyond Betty and Daniel, the show hadn't given viewers any reason to care or invest themselves in any of the characters, including the ones in Betty's Queens neighborhood.

This week's episode starts to remedy some of that; it does a good job of giving some previously unsympathetic characters human characteristics, but it fails to do a good job with deepening others. And the characters that fall into that latter category may surprise you; at this point, I'm starting to like the Mode crew better than the Queens crew, which is something that I'd never thought I'd say.
