El Talismán #79 Mon 5/21/12 Yes, We Have No Avacadoes, We Have No Avacadoes Today!
Today on El Talsiman:
Cameela has come to El Alcatrash to tell the Beltbuckle she isn't marrying him, punto. Beltbuckle continues with the threat of sending her Gasbag, er her Mama to the carcel. She tells the Beltbuckle to go ahead and call the popos she will just have to make a call on her own and tell them about his blackmail and threats, so there take that, ya Beltbuckle! She leaves the Beltbuckle fuming, and runs into Doris. So are ya marrying the Beltbuckle or not, she asks Cameela. Cameela tells her hey sister, ain't doin' it no how, no way. She tells Doris I am marrying Mi Pedro. She tells Doris don't worry you will still be the duenna of this casa. Cameela leaves.
Pedro is thought bubbling about his wedding to Cameela and their song plays, "Dios Mio Que Mujer".
Gabe and Sarita are talking about the same old, same old. I want to marry but can't, not prepared for it, yada, yada, blah, blah, blah. Sarita is getting madder by the minute, and Gabe is all talked out. Sarita is yelling at Gabe and interrupts Pedro's daydreaming. He goes in to see what the fuss is about. Sarita is saying the same old thing. She tells Pedro, Gabe won't talk to her, and Pedro tells her Gabe is very confused right now. (Note to Gabe: just tell her the same thing you've been telling her, maybe she will open her ears long enough to hear, jus' sayin'). Gabe took my advice, but it didn't work yet again. He threatens to get a job elsewhere. Sarita is so not down with that. Pedro tells her to stop pressuring Gabe. Gabe tells Sarita he truly loves her, but he isn't ready for marriage. Gabe leaves. Pedro tells Sarita, he's not marrying Cameela either. He doesn't understand, and told Mariana about it. Sarita and Pedro commiserate with each other.
Tonio is looking for Valentin. Valentin finally comes in and the Beltbuckle sends him on a misson. I didn't quite get what it was, so someone please fill in.
Tracy and Alberta are talking about Fabi leaving today. They are having a little chisme when Alberta lets slip that Cameela ain't marrying the Beltbuckle. Tracy is like, ya don't say. I have to talk to her.
Margarito and the Padre are talking about Cameela's about face, and not marrying Pedro.
Army has managed to scale the walls, so to speak, of Alcatrash again. He has come to tell Fabi adios. He tells her this is only temporary. He is finding a job, and once he has enough dinero, he will come to Canada to be with her. They swear undying love for each other, and promise each other they will be together soon.
Maria and the Gasbag, er, El Viral have come home. Maria wanted to bring El Viral back to the apartmento to get the full story why she is soooo upset. Maria tells her to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. (Note to Maria: When has that ever happened?).El Viral says it is a disaster. Maria tells her to be calm (yeah like that is ever gonna happen) and asks if this is about the kids? El Viral tells her it is about Pigorio. She tells Maria she helped Tonio try to kill Pigorio and now she is in the heap of pig droppings. Maria is shocked, I tell you shocked, to hear this. She tells Maria that unless Cameela marries Tonio she is going to the carcel! (Note to Maria: Please lock her up in the manicomio now. Don't wait, she is the Titanic crashing into the iceberg right now. There is no redemption for her.). She tells Maria that, wait for it, THE BELTBUCKLE MADE ME DO IT!!!! (Note to the Gasbag: Is this the same thing as the Devil made me do it? Cause ya know that excuse never works, jus' sayin'). Just about this time, Cameela has come back from that meeting with the Beltbuckle, and tells her Gasbag of a mama, guess what, not marrying that asshat. Cameela tells the Gasbag she will find her a lawyer tomorrow, and take it from there. (Note to Cameela: You got some guts girl, cause that gas is building, jus' sayin', and the headband is getting tighter by the millisecond). Maria tells her Gasbag of a sister to, wait for it, WOMAN up and accept responsiblity for your OWN actions!!!! (Note to Maria: You go!!! But I don't think that is working for her). The Gasbag tries to turn this on Cameela and tells her, I am going to the carcel and it's YOUR fault. Maria and Cameela are looking at her like she should have been in the Manicomio a long time ago. And on top of all her other sins, tells Cameela, well ya know, I already told Pedro you are marrying Tonio. Cameela and Maria are pithed. The Gasbag is thrusting the knife deeper and tells Cameela, that if she marries the Beltbuckle all this goes away, as if. Cameela is so not down with that. Maria says you have no conscience as far as your children go, enough already. Course the Gasbag's brain is full of gas and she storms out of the room. Army comes in and asks Cameela if she is ok? Cameela tells him Tonio threatened to go to the policia about the Gasbag. Maria tells Cameela, well she is an accomplice after all, get her a good lawyer, and above all please, call Pedro, the amor di tu vida, and explain just what the heck is going on. Cameela calls Pedro for a meet. He is confused, but will meet with her. Maria is going to work, and tells Cameela if you need anything call me. Cameela tells the Gasbag that she has called a lawyer that will meet with her in two hours.
Fake Doc/Major Domo examines Pigorio and tells him he is just fine! Well Pigorio, who is lying in the bed, isn't taking this lying down, so to speak. He tells the fake doc, then why am I feeling worse everyday? He tells fake doc he is not beleiving his so-called miraculous recovery. He asks fake doc/major domo if he has talked to Tonio. Of course he has. Pigorio then tells him, I don't like you, I want MIO DOCTOROCITO Valdez, and not you. Fake doc/major domo looks like he has swallowed several avacadoes whole, and tells Pigorio to be calm, don't upset yourself. He leaves. Doris confronts fake doc/major domo and asks how Pigorio is? He tells her he is fine. Doris doesn't beleive fake doc/major domo either. Tonio talks to the fake doc/major domo and isn't liking what he is hearing.
Lulu and the Beltbuckle are in the cabana, and Tonio tells her all about what Cameela said about going to the popos on her own and telling them what she knows of the Beltbuckle. But he tells Lulu that his planes are still at the go stage and Cameela es Mio. He tells Lulu he is siccing the police on El Viral as we speak, and that's why Cameela es Mio. Lulu laments to the Beltbuckle that this is a bad time for her to be dead. (Ya think). He keeps telling Lulu that she will have to remain dead for awhile, but he won't let her down. She'll get Pedro es Mio as soon as things settle down. She tells the Beltbuckle, Pedro is my ultimate goal. He tells her Fabi is leaving. She can't beleive it, she isn't down with that.
Fabi is packing for her trip to Canada and Doris comes in. She tells her Mama Doris that she will be better off in Canada and away from Alcatrash.
Padre, Margarito, and Pedro are together and Pedro tells them Cameela called him. He has no idea why she wants to talk to him.
There is a knock on the door and it is, wait for it, the police looking for, you guessed it, The Gasbag. They have some questions for her. Meanwhile the Gasbag has hotfooted it into the boys' room. (I guess she has no avacadoes. Her hideous pink outfit is so bright with matching headband, the police couldn't miss her, jus' sayin'). The police tell Cameela that this is very serious and they need to talk to her right away. Cameela is rolling her eyes. Meanwhile the Gasbag has run into the boys' room, and wait for it, does a slow *marmot screech* about the popos have come for her. Meanwhile at the door, Cameela tells the police that her Mama is meeting a lawyer, in like, two hours if they want to wait. And in the boys' room, the Gasbag, THAR SHE BLOWS AGAIN, for like the millionth time. She claims, wait for it, SHE WANTS TO DIE, Army and Angel are both there, trying to calm her down. She is hyperventilating and hysterical. They tell her to stop crying and that Cameela will get her a lawyer. Army decides to go join Cameela, which leaves poor Angel to cope with El Viral (Note to Angel: You are truly an Angel to put up with this crap, just fix her a huge mug of sleepytime tea and you'll finally have some peace). Meanwhile Army goes out to see what is going on, gets the scoop and rolls his eyes too. (Did you notice one of the policeman was rolling his eyes too? It was too funny). El Viral is still ranting and raving to Angel that her new home will be the CARCEL (yeah, if only. She needs to go there ASAP). And on top of that she is crying hysterically. Angel looks like he wants to hurl. The police meanwhile are still trying to convince Cameela they need to talk to the Gasbag and here is the paperwork by the way. They leave and Cameela tells Army that the Beltbuckle called the cops on mama. Cameela tells Army well I guess I will have to marry the Beltbuckle after all, to stop this crazy train. Army begs her not too. So without waiting any further, she picks up the phone and , wait for it, calls the Beltbuckle. She tells him I know you sicced the police on my sainted (just kidding) mama and are you ready for it, ya sure???? Ok, on the count of three, She will marry his asshattedness. Oh, saints perserve us, please, Oh Dios Mio, not again.
Tracy, Alberta and Fabi have gathered together to say goodbye. Fabi tells both of them she will miss them, and to please look after Flor. All three are crying and they have a big group hug. After this, Fabi goes to her room and talks to Flor. Flor is crying. She doesn't want Fabi to go, but Fabi tells her it is best and that Tracy and Alberta will always be there for her. Fabi and Flor both agree they don't want to be seperated, but this is how it is now. Flor accompanies Fabi to the foyer, and there is the Beltbuckle. They give him heck about being seperated and all he cares about is Cameela. He tells them he cares about them, but they know it is empty words. (Note to Beltbuckle: you are an asshat of the lowest grade, to give up your daughter for a woman that hates your guts, jus' sayin').
Mariana has come to El Tal and is talking to Margarito. Mariana says she wants to talk to Cameela on Pedro's behalf to find out what is going on with this Beltbuckle business. Margarito asks if she has any memory back yet? Mariana tells Margo that Manuel is trying to help her find her past, but so far she really hasn't remembered anything .
Pigorio is up out of the bed and is dressed, looking more chipper and healthier. Doris compliments him on his looks. They are talking about his pills. I think Pigorio said he has stopped taking them and is going to see his own doctor. ( I just have to say here, Pigorio is smarter than we thought. I think he knows those pills are poisoned). Doris informs Pigorio that Fabi is leaving for Canada, and Pigorio says well the Beltbuckle knows best, he loves his daughters. Doris doesn't agree. She doesn't want Fabi to go. Pigorio tells her Fabi is her daughter too. He said something else to her I didn't get. He leaves.
Padre and Pedro go to see Liliana the social worker about Santiago again. She tells Pedro, sorry not gonna happen, can't adopt him. Padre tells her that he is getting some kind of letter from Santi's mama in Mexico. She is skeptical, but says ok. But Pedro still can't adopt him. She tells Padre he has character.
Now for the best part of the recap. We have Rita and fake doc/major domo talking together. Rita wants to know what he has been up to? He tells Rita he is doing a job for the Beltbuckle. Oh, Rita is swooning, she just lurvvvves the Beltbuckle. Rennie comes in the room and tells Rita that the Beltbuckle is muy peligroso. Fake doc/major domo tells Rennie that the Beltbuckle has taken El Viral in hand. Rennie is like say what? Rita and Rennie want the chisme like yesterday. So fake doc/major domo tells them that, wait for it, El Viral is a killer! Rennie can't beleive it, but Rita is sooo down with that. Fake doc/ major domo tells them that is what Tonio told him. Rennie's wheels in his brains start turning and he says so, just a better grounds for divorce. (Yeah ok Rennie, you go with that, until the anvil comes to bite you too).
Tomorrow on El Talisman:
Pedro confronts Cameela and Tonio at Alcatrash!
Labels: Talisman
Cameela really disappointed me. I thought for sure she wouldn't back down but no such luck.
And no Panchito today. He is usually all over El Alcatrash Maybe he will discover the "undead" Lucrazy.
Rita was too funny today. She really likes the Beltbuckle. If she only knew.
There were so many funny lines, but this might have been my favorite: "She will marry his asshattedness. Oh, saints perserve us, please, Oh Dios Mio, not again."
Rita sighting! I was afraid she might have abandoned this hot mess. I'm glad she's come back to join the guacamole.
The writers again messed up with Cam caving so quickly. It's been great to see Beltbuckle squirm, just think how different this TN would have been.
I was trying to find more information on when this ends, and I learned back in March they had plans to replace Rafael with Mario Cimarro. I love Mario but I am happy the protests succeeded and Rafael was not replaced. He's basically the real reason why I "go" back to this TN. I love protests!!!
I still can't guess where this TN is going. Maybe in it's final day they will have a scene with Pedro in the shower and say "it's all a dream folks, you've just been watching a comedy!"
I'm also sad Cami caved so quickly. I would rather have a kidnapping than a forced wedding.
It's great that Ren & Rita are back!
-Elvira as the Titanic
-Pig who is lying in bed is not taking this lying down
-slow marmot screech
Nellie - love the Bobby Ewing reference!
Cute Fabi is not so cute when she cries. Hopefully she won't get cast as Renata or Elisa, with all their tears, if they do more remakes of CME or Abismo.
Nice to see Rita, but for her, it was like a day hadn't gone by. Bad continuity, but at least we got to see her cute blouse and wonder why she doesn't wear pants.
Camila said she "promises" to marry The Beltbuckle. Ditto Blue's sentiments above.
R la O
Nellie, I'm with you. They should make Tonio squirm. He has been lording over Cameela and Pedro for too long.
Karen, like your idea of a kidnapping. That would have been better than this constant back and forth and forced wedding. For some reason though, I don't think this wedding is going thru.
I am glad they added the Padre, but I wish he had been more like Padre Lupe on Abismo. This Padre is not quite as strong, but does give good advice, when he isn't trying to force a shotgun wedding so to speak.
This Lucrazy story line has gone on long enough. She needs to escape the cabana and be seen around Alcatrash. I am still thinking that Panchito will be the one to see her first. But they will probably save that for the end, if the Negretes finally have some anvils come their way.
Loved seeing Rita again, too. I like the way she rolls her eyes and the smirking she does. She is a good foil for Rennie.
I believe the Pig is waiting for some new pills from Dr. Fake. I'm not sure whether this will be more poison or not. I thought that at one point Antonio told him that he wanted his dad kept alive. Sometimes I get confused as to exactly what Antonio wants (though he's consistent about wanting Camila).
Another thing I'm unclear about... are those real cops? I thought that once cops are sicced on someone, they can't be un-sicced.
I think that Sarita and Pedro should hook up. Both want to get married... problem solved.
Carlos
Maybe the Beltbuckle-flip flop wedding is where Mariana meets Gregorio? And what appened to the Camila-Doris alliance?
Tia Maria and Angel need to take control of all this nonsense and send everyone to the manicomio. Group discount!
Kelly
Tony also had a second assignment for Dr. M., which was sending the fake cops to put a scare into Camila and her Mom. Looks like it worked.
Madelaine--you keep us well supplied with snark and laughter--the coffee-spilling kind. Muchas gracias.
Rather than the tn ending, this latest twist just makes it seem like it's going to be interminable.
AND YES, Mr. Large-sized Beltbucke and Ego's latest plan was to fastidiar Camila with fake cops. You notice that they have been waiting patiently outside the door, while the real deal, El Capitan, just walks right in anywhere invited or not.
Anita
One of my word verifications is tsetsely--the only thing that was missing was the "f" -- for a fair description of what bit these folks, so near the end.
I am glad I make y'all laugh. I can't help it sometimes watching the show. This should really have been a comedy. As Cap'n said this is a guacamole lol. The only thing I didn't like about this TN was the brutul beating Mariana took from the Pig, that was too much.
Oh and the fake cops, real ones as Anita says walk right in, they don't wait to be invited in. I should have caught that. I did see that fake cop roll his eyes, that should have been my clue lol.
I forgot to say earlier that I thought Sarita was a bit of a shrew in this episode. I am siding with Gabriel on this one. They had a good thing going, the padre catches them and now all of a sudden they HAVE to get married. Yikes, at least give the guy some time to get used to the idea. Her shrieking meltdown was probably the least effective way to get him to consider waking up next to her every morning for the rest of their lives.
Oh, and thank you Rosemary for the "promise" to marry. I haven't seen Tuesday's epi yet, but I will this evening. Hopefully, Pedro can stop Cameela.
Oh, and thank y'all for the heads up that the cops were fake. I just thought they were the typical clueless Fresno PD.
Does the Major Domo belong to some sort of acting troupe? He always manages to pick up various players at a moment's notice.
Anita
..oh and the whole Fabi/Flo thing was a throwaway, too. There could have gone another 3-4 episodes. Who cared, really. Camila didn't need a do-nothing brother, either. Was the producer trying to give as many out-of-work actors some laignappe?
Angel, yes, he has been an Angel
but every conversation Tracy had post-reveal to Camila re Mr. Rennie we did not need, although I would have enjoyed more of Rennie & Rita's hijinks.
I'm ranting--but it's all futile at this point. These new script writers, agreed, have fallen asleep over their typewriters. They could have tightened this up a *lot* more.
I can't wait until all this sillyness is over. The only thing I'll miss is this wonderful community of fellow sufferers.
Comedy for sure. They should have advertised it as a New (Math) Age Comedy, you never know if you're in the 4th dimension or the 5th or lost in space.
Anita
I'm hoping for a totally non-telenovela ending for this one. Perhaps the 'dream sequence' will end as Pedro supposedly wins El Tal from Gregorio, only OOPS! he loses...
Anita
Well, he did spend a few days in jail, but he was in solitary confinement, so there wasn't anybody there to give him a pre-El Fin beating.
He's just a failed plotter--except for stopping Pedro & Camila's wedding.
Anita
I'm willing to overlook all of this ridiculousness if someone will just FALL DOWN THE STAIRS ALREADY.
I am with Sylvia who is siding with Gabe. You don't beg a guy to marry you. My son's gf waited 5 years, hoping maybe *this* Valentines Day, maybe *this* birthday, maybe *this* Christmas. She played it cool for 5 years and the day he finished Pharmacy School, he proposed.
Anita / Mads: The Pepto Bismol top was a little much on her. I don't think she has khaki pants. They look like those Lillian Vernon ones with elastic waistbands that you can order 1 for $13, 2 for $20, 3 for $25 in lilac, teal, rose, sea dew (basically the same colors as Renato's shirts).
Emilia - "trying to swim in guacamole" Haha
R la O
thanks Madelaine for a great snarky recap...
i watch pieces of this here and there...
Blue, totally agree..
These flip-flops of Camila's are so idiotic that even if she runs back to Pedro at the very end -- which, presumably, she will -- it won't be satisfying.
also Fake Doc / MAJOR Domo ROFLOL!
i too wuold ahve wanted to check out Amorcito (v) but if it is going to air daytime, guess not.
- trying to swim in guacamole!!
LOL!! will have to remember that one, like the swim in caramel commercial...
Oh Rosemary you are making me laugh so hard. Loved the Lillian Vernon thingy lol. You are right about her pants. They were horrible too. And you're right about the different colors. Maybe she went to *Tal-Mart* to get them lol.
Hey MartaIvett, glad to see you comment again. We have to snark this one up. Otherwise we would be yawning and saying why, oh, why are we still watching this *hot mess* lol.
I loved Rita's expressions. She doesn't miss a chance to dis La Marmota.
