I also noticed an editing/continuity problem in Ugly Betty with Amanda. When she was talking to the girl she pushed out of the way, the top part of “The Amanda” dress that went over her arms was rolled up over her chest, then down, then up, then down again. But honestly, that little problem was not enough to distract me from the hilarity of the whole “Oh, you must be the accountant” introduction that Gabe went through over and over.

Jo, I remember that line too… and I was thinking…. where’s the road! Hopefully in future episodes we’ll get the standard TV road sign shot. Quick Trivia… who can name me (without google’s help) the street Roseanne’s family lived on? The Simpsons? Family Guy?

I believe at the bar Freddie accused Nick of “forgetting which side of October Road he belonged on” from which I assumed they meant a literal road in town, and that they grew up on the less wealthy side of town, and that he felt Nick was forgetting his roots. Hopefully they’ll clarify it in a future ep.

Meredith has an “inappropriate men” problem, George has an “inappropriate women” problem.

Jake was my first parallel, but I honestly don’t remember Jake being such a tramp — at least he wasn’t married. George is more of a Michael right now… Michael cheated on Jane a lot!

Another problem with Grey’s Anatomy… Can Christina and Burke just break up already? Their relationship was shaky enough to start with, but their chemistry has gotten even worse since all the behind-the-scenes controversy has started. I also don’t buy the George/Izzie hookup, nor the George/Callie marriage, nor the Callie/George’s friends problem. I did, however, like the stuff with Meredith and her father, and the scene between her father and Derek.

As for Ugly Betty… I can’t agree about the Amanda hat. She’s hot, but even she can’t make that hat look good. Good episode, but I wonder if Daniel’s mom will go to prison or if she’ll get acquitted on some technicality.

Did anyone else notice some editing problems on Ugly Betty last night? I don’t know if the problem was with the director, the editor, or just Lucy Lui, but there were about three scenes with Daniel’s lawyer/lover Grace Chen in it that had at least one minor continuity error each (one shot, her head is to the side, next shot, she’s facing forward; one shot, she tries to walk around Daniel’s left side; reverse angle, he’s stopping her on his right side). It was kind of distracting. I noticed one minor continuity error from Mimi on Jericho the other night too, but just one continuity error involving head position I can deal with. Lucy Lui was causing problems all over the map. I wonder if she’s always an editor’s nightmare or if her movements & positioning were unusually chaotic just last night.

Vance… I agree with you on GREY’S, not its strongest episode. And pleeeaassseeeee….. why is it on TV, all it takes is a little drink and you’re drunk enough to sleep with your BFF and destroy your marriage. Has this really every happened to any of your best friends?

I liked the leads in October Road but I got bored. Sorry. Then again, I got bored of Grey’s last night too and did NOT buy that Izzie and George would sleep together. They have a brother and sister relationship. Ew…

I totally snort laughed at Amanda in The Amanda though… a new classic!
