Members Pest Spray Posted May 18, 2007 Members Share Posted May 18, 2007 Ana Ortiz was amazing in that last scene. I was afraid she'd butcher it and I was amazed, tore my heart out. I have no words for the finale. This is how it's done people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted May 18, 2007 Members Share Posted May 18, 2007 Actually, that actress (I'm not sure of her name) is the one who plays Betty in the Mexico version of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members leevo64 Posted May 18, 2007 Members Share Posted May 18, 2007 Amazing, brilliant, beautiful, shocking, tragic, funny... can we say perfect? This was my favorite episode of the series and I think of any show this year. Wouldn't it be great if Amanda got to take over Meade somehow? I wonder where Claire is going to end up. LOVED the irony with Alexis and Daniel, and the twist with psychoCharlie. But the ending...and the tragic turn of events the Suarez family was just dealt with...that was what makes this show special. Yes, it's a fun satirical soap opera. Yes, it's a comedy. But the Suarez family has always been the best part of the show. Santos had become immensely likable, it was SO sad! I can't wait for season two... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KevC1980 Posted May 19, 2007 Members Share Posted May 19, 2007 Wow, not that was an exciting finale...So many amazing cliffhangers...And i was shocked that they killed Santos, he was such a cutie....At least this will give Hilda some good material next season..And i'm stoked that they are tying Amanda to Fey, since Amanda is my favorite character...

Members NYC123 Posted May 19, 2007 Members Share Posted May 19, 2007 OMG! That was a great!!! show!! I can't wait till next season I was shocked they killed Santos I feel so bad for Hilda! Hoping Betty will get Henry back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JER Soaps Fan Posted May 19, 2007 Members Share Posted May 19, 2007 God, did ANY of you noticed that for the cliffhanger (the final few seconds), the lights went out in the gym (set lighting fadeout) and then Betty and Hilda still had a spotlight on them. "West Side Story" fans know that was SO paying homage to a memorable shot in that classic film. I have to APPLAUD the director of that season finale for making that choice. Because that, and the cutting between West Side and the events at the convenience store, up until the laast SECOND, was NOTHING short of [!@#$%^&*] BRILLIANT!

Members leevo64 Posted May 19, 2007 Members Share Posted May 19, 2007 What I love is how the show never lets us stay in a heightened reality for too long. We have the soap: Claire, Amanda, Christina, Bradford, Wilhelmina, Marc, Henry, Charlie, Dr. Farkas, Daniel, and Alexis. Then, though, we have the Suarez family. Without a doubt the most functional family on television, and definitely the warmest, it was HEARTBREAKING when Santos died. It was so beautiful that the show ended on such a quiet note with Hilda breaking down in Betty's arms. I can't wait for next season! While I felt this way about Desperate Housewives at the end of season one when they killed Rex and revealed the truth about Mary Alice, that show's foundation cracked ridiculously. I don't see that happening with Betty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tina m Posted June 9, 2007 Members Share Posted June 9, 2007 Amazing finale!!! I love how she found out the baby probably isn't Henry's. I hope she can tell him the truth soon. but the ending was AMAZING. How sad that Santos died, and the end with Betty and Hilda crying outside the play was really sad. And I loved how Faye is Amanda's mom! I can't wait til next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted August 26, 2007 Members Share Posted August 26, 2007 Anyone bought Season 1 yet? It came out last Tuesday. Its rather pricey here in Canada, the lowest I've seen it going for is 55.99. I may purchase it but am interested to know what all is on it before I do. Anyone got it yet?

Members alwaysAMC Posted September 28, 2007 Members Share Posted September 28, 2007 My heart was RIPPED out of my chest at the end with Hilda! I didn't see that coming - I was so happy from the beginning that he lived, and it was so nice to see her happy....then BAM! Reality! I guess I should have figured it out when they talked about her not coming down from her room ever...but still! Love this show!!! So much going on...and all good!

Members mr. sweet Posted September 28, 2007 Members Share Posted September 28, 2007 I figured out the Hilda outcome since the beginning but WOW. The premiere was really good. I love the characters on this show: Betty, Wilemina, Hilda, Marc, Amanda, Justin...and the list goes on. They're all unique in their own special way.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 28, 2007 Members Share Posted September 28, 2007 Great start after being kinda meh about the final three eps of last year where the tone felt all cartoony to me--the balance was back for these. Loved the telenovela twists (Alexis at the end!), loved the touching moments, etc. My one thing--wouldn't Justin show a bit of upset about his dad after only 3 weeks?

Members Steve Posted September 28, 2007 Members Share Posted September 28, 2007 I felt the same way towards the end of last season and I thought this episode was much better than the cliffhanger. Yeah, Justin should be grieving for his father. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
