Ugly Betty just got so freakin' fantastic it almost makes you want to cut your own bangs. Fresh off a double doozy win at the Golden Globes (Best Comedy Series and Best Comedy Actress for America Ferrera), Betty had much to prove on its first showing of the new year. And boy did the ugly come out flying. Viewers were quickly reminded of the key story plots that have been building since the pilot. Perhaps the best "i didn't see that coming" moment of the season occurred in classic cliffhanger style. The unveiling of the mysterious bandaged woman turned out to be ... (Spoiler Alert!) Alexis "Don't Call me Alex" Meade, the post-operative transsexual brother of Daniel Meade, EIC of Mode, and thought to be very, very dead from a freak skiing accident. Telanovelamazing!
Fortunately, Betty never takes itself too seriously, so this plot twist really works. And it doesn't hurt that the former Alex Meade has been cast as the former Mrs. John Stamos, Rebecca Romijn. Upgrade!
