Wonderful finale, I will miss this show! I would SO look forward to the movie! I wonder if a spinoff series would be possible, like Betty in London? I felt it was never really ended. Plus, I thought we'd see Matt one last time.

Great final but I wish ABC had done the decent thing and given it a two hour final cause it was rushed in places. It really wasn't fair to us diehard fans. I didn't cry like you guys instead I was happy throughout the whole ep. I kept on smiling. All good things must come to an end.
So glad Betty and Daniel didn't happen. It's just doesn't seem right. There is talk of a Betty movie but somehow I just don't see it happening. I'm just looking forward to a Seasons 1-4 box set with heaps of special features.

Agree with Label Basher, it deserved a 2 hours special!
I laughed a lot (Daniel putting Betty's sheet on fire was hilarious!!) and cried a little.
I already miss the show so much!! And with "Lost" ending too, there's not much else fun to watch on tv...

UGLY BETTY NEWS -
Eric Mabius slams ABC over 'Ugly Betty' axe
Eric Mabius has criticised ABC for its treatment of his show Ugly Betty. Ugly Betty was cancelled last year after four seasons.
Mabius has now claimed that it was partly dropped because an executive "who was running the network at the time but is no longer at the company" was unhappy with the positive portrayal of gay people in the show.
He explained that the executive was particularly unimpressed with the storyline about Justin's sexuality and the character of Marc (Michael Urie).
Mabius told Zap2It: "I don't know why we were thrown on the sacrificial altar so often, with our nights getting changed and our fans getting so upset.
"I think there was a little bit too much alternative-lifestyle humour for a certain executive, but despite having no support from certain people, the fans really made a difference. The universality of the topic and the nature of what was portrayed on the show were reflective of how we felt about each other as human beings."
Mabius, who described the end of Ugly Betty as "upsetting in many ways", continued: "I'm pretty sure that the first teenage romantic kiss between two boys on network television was on our show, but did you hear anything about it? Was it promoted?
"The punishment was apparent every week. When they would run teasers for the next week's episode of other shows, they didn't even do those for us. That's how little support we had. It's short-sighted and silly. There was an undeniable feeling that the show was over at least a season early."
Mabius has previously said that Ugly Betty was "battered about" by ABC but suggested that there is still hope that a film version could be made.

Interesting. Who would be interested in a Betty movie.

I've been watching the re-runs on E4 lately. I would love to see a film. I think it could definitely work, narratively and stylistically. The problem with Sex and the City was that there was a shift in tone. It just didn't adapt well on to the screen.

^^ Sent you a PM. 
I realised that I don't recall watching season 3 or 4 so I'm super excited to watch.
