Ugly Betty, season 1 finale.

I really shouldn’t like this show. It contains so many elements I usually hate; the over the top soap opera storylines, the clichéd characters, the back stabbing and double-crossing. This show makes it work though, sure there have been some storylines that had me rolling my eyes, but they’ve always kept me interested.
So when it was time for the finale I was happy because I didn’t quite know what to expect, but they did a great job, tying up some ends, while building on others.

I’m still in denial about the end though; I won’t believe that person is dead until I see the funeral in the season 2 opener.

I really hate Wilhelmina and Charlie right now; they both need a serious beating.

All in all I really enjoyed the season finale, and I am really looking forward to next season.

The Punisher.

It struck me more as a B-movie than a block-buster, but I had fun with it.
I liked Thomas Jane as Frank Castle, and that he doesn't let his tragedy stop him. It does handle a subject I find interesting; does one man have the right to be judge and jury, even if the people he's killing off are are people that everybody knows are criminals?
"It's not revenge, it's punishment." Frank Castle is a rather brooding character, but it works for him, he's driven in his search for punishment, and he's actually able to help some people along the way.
