Caray, Caray!

FYI, those recaps were actually written by Amanda - who TOTALLY saved me life when she stepped in!
 

Pata, fantastic photos! You really captured what was important. You also captured Camil's fantastic "sparkle." Thanks!

Julie, my hat goes off to you. You did 30 cap's straight, complete recaps, and then you continued with partial duty for the duration. I bellyache about double caps, but I'm only doing scene lists, not anything like a complete recap. ZOWIE!
 

I can't even manage to WATCH all these double episodes. I haven't watched Monday yet, and I'm fast-forwarding through all cuartel scenes.
 

Excellent and very telling photos. I am enjoying this show much more now that Fernando is really falling for Lety and not just using her...but I still FF through the cuartel. They're intolerable.
 

It really was a pleasure to do all of those recaps early on. A grueling pleasure, that is... difficult and time-consuming, yet a LOT of fun and VERY rewarding. I'm just glad I had the time to devote to it!

I love this phase of the story - I really wish they'd slow down the episodes. But there's still no end in sight to the double-caps that I know of. I haven't seen a new telenovela advertised in weeks, and the next one will probably replace STuD which just went into to ultimas semanas. Maybe the plan really is to do double-caps for the duration. Yeesh.
 

Afraid that I am totally delinquent also. Feel like a freshman who's missed so many assignments and term papers, he's going to get bounced out of school. Have the episodes on tape but no time to watch. Appreciate what you all are doing, however. ONE DAY.....
 

Re: Paty Manterola: Sorry Paula, but your theory that Fernando's one rule is never to hurt Lety doesn't hold up when Paty comes on the scene. Lety? Lety who?

I didn't get Fern's behavior. He acted like a childish idiot. I can't believe a successful mujeriego would ever act like that with a woman he was so attracted to. Even Omar, at his most idiotic with women, wouldn't have been so gauche and unsophisticated.And I don't think it had to do with Paty's celebrity. After all, I'm sure Fern is in a business where he meets celebrities all the time. (My father was an NBC staff director in NYC when I was growing up and believe me you become quite blase about celebrities after awhile.) I guess they had to make Fern's behavior so overt for the sake of the story. but I didn't buy it...

About yesterday's discussion of the drum and hats; I doubt if they have a continuity person as they do on films. Having seen what comes, I've noticed other "mistakes" in terms of the setting and props.

In any case, it is so much fun to tune into this again (even if its only from time to time) and to have a place to share opinions. Thanks Julie and Paula and Marivert (I don't know if I have the name right) for making it possible.
 

I agree with you Julie. This is one of my favorite parts of the story. It is fun to see how Fernando has totaly switched his mind set and now would much rather kiss Lety then Marcia.

I like how when ever Lety is writing in her diary we always see Fernando as well. Nice paralles.

The cuartel are just irritating. I have stopped including them when I write the disks.

Sylvia thanks for posting these, And Amanda thanks for the recaps.
 

OK, I fixed the statement and gave credit to Amanda.

Pata, after watching today's recap those pictures are even more amusing than they were before. Your observations about Lety vs. Marcia are perfect.

The thing I found the most interesting in this episode was how Paty Manterola seemed so much more normal and sane compared to all the employees at Conceptos. We could tell by her face that she also thought they were a little nuts.

Totally agree that Fern acted like a total ass with Patty Monterola. Whatever happened to the guy who didn't want Lety's feelings hurt. He was so oblivious even Patty asked why he treated Lety so bad. Did not like it at all when he just shrugged it off.

Once again Omar surprised me when he saw how upset Lery was and asked her what was wrong. Liked him much more than Fern today. Actually in any other novel you would think he was the hero's BFF who had a secret crush on the heroine.
