   Actually it was alternate though equally correct!  Thanks for picking that   
   up, because it wasn't intentional.

   As far as I can tell, it's the first time anyone's said she's fugly.  I   
   probably first saw her in Striking Distance and thought that she was almost   
   pretty but for the severe beating with the ugly stick.  Ever since then,   
   she's been portrayed as a creature of beauty with her own line of cosmetics   
   and so forth.  Trey stuck it to her like no one else ever has!   
      
   The funny thing is that if you showed a still image of her from the SP   
   episode to one of her fans, they'd recognise her in an instant.

   Dunno.  I'll have another look.
