I finally watched the end of Ugly Betty, IMHO one of the best TV series ever made. I was a little disenchanted with the ending, where Betty meets up with Daniel, her old boss, in London where she is starting her new life. There seemed to be an implication that they could embark on a romantic relationship. This just didn't ring true to me. Betty is way too smart and fresh to end up with such an emotionally needy, flawed character as Daniel. Besides, Daniel just took a break from his on and off relationship with Amanda, Betty's former nemesis now friend. Betty is not the type of girl to hook up with a friend's ex.
Daniel and Amanda ending up together; okay that would make sense. Daniel and Betty... no way! They never had any romantic chemistry during the whole series so why on earth would they suddenly click at the very end. You need sustained Mr. Darcy-like romantic tension in a story to make that kind of ending feel exciting and plausible.
I think it would have been better if Betty had run into Matt Hartley, her last steady beau, at the end of the story rather than Daniel. The idea of Betty Suarez ending up with Daniel Meade is kind of like... Harry ending up with Herminone.
