It has finally happened: the writer’s strike has ended, and Dr Horrible is months away, setting in stone a clear breakpoint in writing for this era. The first director of this shiny, full HD and somewhat “overly lit” era of Ugly Betty is…

He looks like the investment banker who makes a mess of a train on a Tuesday after being a skinny, pretty woman’s 13th reason on the Saturday. Directed by someone new, the first of his three episodes, Matt Shakman joins before going…

Well, Dammit Janet! Directed by Victor Nelli Jr, this is his penultimate episode of the season, before helming the finale in “Jump.” It is also the penultimate episode for our writer this season, though next time he only worked on the teleplay…
