Fuego, Wed., Feb. 11: Save them from themselves.
OMFG What the hell happened to this show? It seems like everyone else who was sub-standardly normal on this show took a bunch of recreational drugs and the rest is just a big headache and a really bad morning. What the hell is going on with ultra Minnie Mouse and Quinti the trick-turner overseer? They just discovered you could use voice synthesizers for something other than Franco’s “Ave Maria” serenades.
Fernie has visited the sacred cave of Libia’s flower. Apparently he talks to rocks, too. He goes to check out the dimensions for the perfect Reyes Tomb. Brothers and sisters should always be together, so I’ll burry you all together. Eat rock, flower.
Gabi is all like, no one ever loved me, and so no one else can be loved. That’s why the girls must stay home and not go out for sodas. Silly girls, did you actually think you were married adults?
Back at the cave of Libia’s flower, Fernie is struggling to water his pet rocks. He pours lighter fluid on the flowers and lights a match. Libia’s tomb is burning, but does she care?
Gabi lies awake missing her ex-husband and sometimes lover. When she was young and in her prime, she used to do it all the time, but now that she is old and gray, she does it every other day.
Ah! Explosion at the cave. Reflection time: do we enter burning caves in search of someone or something that has been dead for years? Do we explore the deepest part of said cave while the flames are burning behind us? Your local fire chief wouldn’t recommend it…
Well, how would you like to dream about your passionate lover and wake up to his sweating countenance and slimy hand on your mouth? Such is Gabi’s life. It pretty much sucks when you get used even in your dreams. As it turns out, Fernie never died, and only pretended to die to kill the Reyes, like all those other times. Funny that he can hold a gun to so many guys’ heads, but feels the urge to lure the Reyes gang into a cave. Does anyone else see the hilarity in this regression to nature? You see, the Reyes are bona fide barbarian Neanderthals—straight off the boat—so now their environment fits their personas. It’s the missing link in the Nature vs. Nurture controversy. Now, I can only hope that they eat Libia, then each other. It would be the perfect ending to one drugged-out ride.
All dressed up and no place to go. Just like the beginning of our tragic epic. It’s the circle of life, people. Mommy dearest has locked the girlies in their rooms and now all that’s left is a bunch of Judy Blume books and glitter nail polish. Jimena calls the purple sleeping bag!
So, Fernie’s into the whole “nurse” routine. Well, Gabi licks his wounds and he lies on the bed. I doubt he will perform to her dream-inspired standards, though he does have the sweat thing going on. Now Gabi says that she can’t live if Sofia or anyone else is happy. Ok, Mrs. Grumpy pants, we’ll all be self-loathing, bi-polar, marginalized housewives to facilitate your end-of-day happiness.
On another note, does anyone think that Juan/E.Y. bleaches his death, because the guy smokes like a chimney and drinks like a fish, and his teeth are whiter than pearls. Anyway, Juan finds a small rock that opens to the real world and he sees a dog—or maybe that’s a man—what’s the diff.; “all men are dogs!” Then he sees Oscar playing dead, but we’ve all seen enough of this show and others to know that that would never happen. Case in point as he coughs and opens his eyes. It’s all gonna be a-okay and we’re right on schedule for the sextuplet wedding. Yes, Sofia will have sextuplets at that juncture; Jimena and Sarita will follow suit later because David’s Bridal was running low on maternity gowns at the Puebla Outpost.
Everyone on this show who is supposed to be dead is really only sleeping, and then they go to the dispensary to be treated by the healing powers of Paddy.
I’ve always found that the minor actors are always much more passionate and slightly convincing in a cruise ship/high school play sort of way. Like the humble but young couple who have illusions of becoming the next Juan-Sofia couple. The one girl is all like, “where were you, who were you doing?” And he’s just trying to tell everyone about Juan entering a burning cave to find his dead sister’s living flower. By the way, did he ever find, or leave with, what he wanted? No. So it was just a case of wasted effort and tantalizing death for the hopeful viewer.
Now Juan is all confused, and of course, he goes to the person who always makes things better—PaddyTaddy. “Evil is all around us, have hope, God loves you.” “Thank you, Padre.” You know, these people don’t need to be saved from evil; they need to be saved from themselves. All the praying and pleading to faded statues has clearly not helped, maybe it’s time to turn to things like basic emergency prevention and proper response.
Here’s a good question: “who could have tried to kill you?” Well, lets see, there are only eight people left alive on this show, and there are six of you on team stupid # 1. I know adding is beyond your comprehension, but by virtue of who is standing next to you, it would have to be someone from team frigid bitch. Of course, as PadTad explains, Gabi is bad because she rejects God. So, she’s bad by choice. Clearly, he doesn’t understand that people on this show have no power whatsoever over themselves, and are merely victims of their biological gene pool/toxic living conditions. Well, it wasn’t the first time Gabi told him to leave her house and never come back…and it won’t be the last…though, I’ve been wrong before…
And we end tonight with Sofia, Eva, and Fernie all in Root’s apartment. They find a bloody dart stabbed into the coffee table and Fernie has his gun in hand. Death is insinuated, but impossible for our plot.
Absolutely nothing happened in this episode, like every other one, and you should probably just not even read this recap.
Labels: Fuego
For months, I have noticed everyone has dazzling white teeth, esp. EY/Juan and Adela. It’s the FELS effect, along with a 3/4 moon and a full moon, all in the same evening of tonight's capítulo.
“So it was just a case of wasted effort and tantalizing death for the hopeful viewer.”
ROFLOL!!!!!
Since when is it privileged confessional information that our friendly local sociopath mass killer is actually still alive? Hel-lo?!??? I so wanted PadTad to say, “So, Juan, did you see Fer this morning? He’s not looking do good these days.” Aaarrrggghhh! (oops, lost my beanie hat....)
Feo does look like hell. I have got to give it to Cantú; he's doing a superb job as Fernando. His facial expressions tonight were of total madness. He's creeping me out.
And boy-oh-boy am I ticked off!!! After the cafe implosion, we had The Perfect Opportunity for a shower scene. Denied! Waaah!
Apparently Gabriela also has had some medical training. I swear that Quintina scene cost me 10 minutes of my life. Cut. It. Out.
Fernando is just left to grave site desecration now. Scumbags like him won't get away with it.
Not only did Fernando set the cave on fire, he rigged it with explosives too. Looks like there was a small blast.
The brothers end up unconscious with their hands clasped. How sweet. The brothers were holding hands. Lol.
It is good to see Fernando suffering. I'm surprised that Fernando is not blaming Gabriela at all for shooting him.
After Gabriela fixed him up, she told him to hide out in the cabana. I missed their conversation about Ruth though. But it looks like Eva and Sofia are now wondering what's up with Ruth and went to see her in the Cabana to the horror of Gabi. Meanwhile Fernando plays with the bloody dagger while he over hears them come in. so he quickly ducks in the bar. Bad news. Eva and Sofia are in there. I recall Sofia say that Ruth was acting strange.... Got to find out more about her.

Anyone have recommendations for TN's on Telemundo? My cable company is pulling Univision off the Basic cable package later this month.
:o(((

Doris: "Feo does look like hell. I have got to give it to Cantú; he's doing a superb job as Fernando. His facial expressions tonight were of total madness. He's creeping me out." Totally...
Ibarramedia, I was also surprised Feo is apparantly not blaming Crabi (at least thus far) for shooting him. Of course, she is all he has now that he is peniless, mad as a hatter and no dobut suffering from septic shock.
Creemelo, you're losing Univision? What horrendous timing with FC almost here.
I have 2 questions. First, did Feo tell Crabi he killed Ruth? She seemed to be recoiling from him but it just may have been the sweat and fetid breath.
Also, is Rigo dying? He has had the worst luck (of anyone still living) in this telenova. I hope they don't kill him off and have Benito Uribe ride back in the picture at the end. Blech.
Diana in MA
Diana: I do sort of think Feo told Crabi he killed Ruth, but he may not have used the exact words. More like she won't be coming 'round anymore. Pretty sure she got the meaning, though.
As for Rigo, the doctor did say it could be a recurrence of his brain tumor, which isn't good. I also hope he'll be okay.
Creemelo: Telemundo has lots of good telenovelas. One of the best is Doña Bárbara. But of course you'd be coming into the show about half way through.
My only question: What happened to Ruth? Where is she or her body?
I would think that a mother finding out her husband killed her daughter would ordinarily propel her to some sort of drastic action. Not Crabi. She may have been momenarily repulsed but not enough to do anything. Could she be more of a monster?
I hope killing off the kindest soul in Fuego (Rosario) was enough and that Rigo will be spared - hasn't he been through enough? Blech. Diana in MA
Pasofino- Feo killed Root in a "momnet of passion". Google "fuego sangre 191" (I think that's the episode. I watched it there, cause I was away from a TV that nite). It's very odd and creepy, and was quite well discussed here on Caray. You really should watch it.
dorado dave
I read the synopsis on Esmas.com before the show.
Rigo's wife is Eugenía.
Can anyone explain why Fr. Tadeo continues to maintain his silence? There's no protected confession here (that I'm aware of). Diana in MA
If Eva gets shot and dies and Sophia finds out everyone was keeping this info from her we will get nothing but wet teary episodes until the end!
I'm sick to death of Eva challenging Crabi to tell the truth, Root challenging Crabi to tell the truth, etc., etc. It's more delayed gratification than even the amulet in the cofre! I now think Sofía's parentage won't be revealed until the gran final.
And Crabi went all Casa de Bernarda Alba on the hermanas last night, telling them they couldn't leave the house because they were in luto (mourning for Feo).
I guess I missed the part about the bomb in the cave. I was trying to figure out how a fire started all those rocks crashing down. Talk about perfect timing! I saw three babies last night so I wonder where the other one was the night before.
When Feo showed up in bed next to crabi I jumped. I don't know why I was so surprised. He just personifies evil. I hope his is a firey and painful death!
I answered your question on Mexico but late on my Tuesday recap comments so I just copied it for your to read it here. I highly recommend driving in Mexico, it is so fun and whacky. Just watch out for the TOPES (speed bumps to gringos) they can be really jarring. So here is the other segment:
Hi Nick, The trip was definitely a 10+ and I enjoyed all the parts of it. Driving in traffic jams in Mexico,DF and in Acapulco required the most patience but over all having a car to go everywhere was great. It's hard to pick favorites but it might be Oaxaca with it's beautiful old city center, the pyramids at Monte Alban just a 15 minute drive up in the mountains then the 6 hour riding the snake drive down to the ocean where I spent a night in tiny Puerto Angel and wished I could have stayed another day to explore Puerto Escondido still in the state of Oaxaca. I am working on several picture essays, one of which I will post here on Caray Caray soon.
What do you all think ahbout Fernando's hesistating movements or gestures?
Ibarramedia
I didn't notice a difference in Feo's movements (okay, I'd say his gestures are becoming slightly more comical), but I've noticed the way he talks lately reminds me of a drunk person struggling to not seem drunk. LIke he's choosing his words carefully, but not necessarily sounding any saner. Just sounding like a crazy person trying not to sound crazy.
Amen!!!
Anonymous - The Univision ads say that Betta La Fea is being broadcast on Telefutura.
Ibarramedia, some people really loved FELS in Mexico and through it was funny. My Mexican Mama, Isabel hated it from the beginning so it is a mixed bag. Her reason was that she just did not like the story. She however is a devotee of Fernando Colunga so she liked the Mañana es Para Siempre that had started in Mexico in the fall.
Also the people I met in Puebla and Cholula were very proud to have had filming done in their towns.
Anyway, I do think Rigo is toast, poor guy, but no doubt he will die saving one of the good guys, so his death won't be in vain.
