Okay, I've seen this is usual here. So I say why not? I'll give it a try.

I only write Gio and Betty fanfiction. So I'll post the most generic one. One with several characters. I am open to comentarios of any kind. Sorry about characterization. I am really bad at that. So if my characters seem a bit OOC, oso, oso de with me, please. It's just my style.

And spanish is my first language. So there might be english grammar mistakes in here. But en general, general the story is not that bad, even if I say so myself.

NB: *this review was originally publicado on the michael urie online site last año and to coincide with the UK release of season 2 on dvd. since then the final mark has changed. btw, I re-submitted this review as it appears as if the original version appears to be lost on this site and that i could not retrieve it*

Ok, here it goes: personally speaking, I didn't enjoy it as much as the first season; for a dramedy, there was too much drama and not enough comedy and humour. The Betty/Henry/Gio storyline, whilst it provided much needed interest and drama for those benry and getty 'shippers, to an...

Well, well, well. What can be dicho about season 3 of ugly betty so far, o be it what can be dicho about this season based on the first 10 episodes?

For starters, Betty's amor life is taking a much deserved breather after the Betty/Gio/Henry amor triángulo, triángulo de that dominated most of last season and secondly, it feels like the corazón and soul of season 1 is slowly but surely making a transition into the third season also. Thus, we are seeing its effects take shape.

I realise many Gio and Henry fans were upset at the way in which the writers decided to drop those characters. But with Freddy Rodriguez's...

Texts are created for mass consumption por the producers, but the text and its ideas and storylines are disemminated, perceived and interpreted differently por us- the audience o be it consumers. This leads us onto Stuart hall's encoding/decoding model.

For Hall, the encoding/decoding model is a concept he originally devised where he explains that through the transmission of ideas and messages in the texts, Hall proposed three ways of lectura and decoding texts: dominant, negotiated and oppositional. The dominant reading is where the viewer takes away that meaning from the TV mostrar and accept...

NB: *I did NOT write this review. I just saw it on a website and thought it was not only a good account of season 2, but a lot of the comentarios echoed por this writer made a lot of sense. Particuarly in relation to season 3 of Ugly Betty.*

Here's the process of making a televisión show: First (after the idea has been approved), one episode, called a "Pilot" is made. If the powers-that-be and a test audience like the Pilot, then a season is ordered, often 13 o 22 episodes. I've read interviews with series...
