Caray, Caray!

Ai, amiga -- a virtuosa effort. So many delights, but I'll limit myself to my top three:

“Camila faces the plants and faceplants.”

“Manuel combs his fingers through his hair channeling his not-so-handsome-brother-of-Juan-Soler-look.”

“Reasonable Maria says ‘Okay, but let's wait for this to go away.’ (Grief? The coffin?)”

And really, those peacocks are freaking me out. At one point I even thought I saw a small gnu skulking around in the avocado grove. It's like Alice in Wonderland on crack.
 

I love your title!!! OK I have to read the recap now. I watched the episode and I've been dying to comment.
 

Nice! I was hoping to hear more about the lions and tigers and bears roaming around Fresno, but whatever. Doubt the sheep are all that dangerous but maybe Blue Lass's gnu is mad at his agent too and looking to take it out on someone.

But now we know why there we didn't see Claudio's and Tia Patty's funeral. It was too fast. We were too busy rolling our eyes at what everyone else was doing and missed it.

R la O, this was a super, and super-hilarious recap. You simply MUST continue recapping somewhere, somehow.

"Domitila dressed like a lemon is sour to Tracy dressed like a lime." Snort! That's funny. "One-hour funerals", double snort!!

I liked when Valentin warned Camila about the dangerous animals. I was thinking cows, or that gnu, Camila in uncharacteristic sarcasm asked "vipers?" But I definitely like the attack by peacock idea. They are certainly assaulting our ears!

Manuel and Juan Soler...how about Manuel and Emilio Estevez? They look an awful lot alike too.

Pig would rather die than be paralyzed. Hee, be careful what you wish for TB!

Kudos to Panchito for not wanting to hear what Papa Hog did to Mariana. But a real man would have asked and then taken the proper steps. Oh well, baby steps for Panchito. For now a big hug from Tracy will have to do. I'm confident Panchito will eventually do the right thing, especially if it involves food. Maybe if Santiago is his little bro he can marry Tracy and she can cook for both of them happily ever after.

Thanks again Rosemary!
 

Kelly, thank you for the explanation on Patty and Claudio's funerals. It makes total sense.
 

Oh, and stupid Rennie, he almost had Elvira until he mentioned wanting to marry Rita. Stupid Rennie and Stupid Elvira really do deserve each other, LOL!! Wait until Rita hears about Ren's newest FUBAR, she's going to blow a gasket.
 

Gracias a mi amiga azul otra vez for posting this for me. Alice in Wonderland on crack! lol. Without giving away my finale poem, let me just say you almost nailed it!

Sylvia - love your comments! This actually was a fun episode. I thought the whole Rennie, Elvira, Rita, Dr. Dohmo scenes were hysterical. And I don't think it's in comparison. They really were funny!

Kelly - sorry, no lions and tigers and bears, but we can go with peacocks and gnus and vipers, oh my.
 

I forgot to say I also love Blue Lass's comment about Alice in Wonderland on crack. And here I was all these years thinking they were on magic mushrooms. Good grief I'm old school!!

I had to laugh at Doc Doh Mo being miffed that Rita did not give him props for being a real doc (once), while in the same breath he blithely commented that yes, he would kill El Pig for the good of mankind. This TN is getting quite hilarious in is final daze, er days.
 

Congratulations, RLO, what a fun episode to recap and you made it a fun read. Just when we thought Rennie and Rita were gone for good, here they are again. Bravo!

Others have already posted my favorites, but I liked the crack about tall women don't have to wear spiked heels for walking around the hacienda. Even so, Camila running wasn't as fast as Valentin walking.

Remember in Young Frankenstein how Igor kept popping up unexpectedly? I thought of him when Valentin showed up in front of Camila, even though they were both coming from the same direction.

Yep, we want to see the inglorious end to El TB+50. I dunno, he still seems overall pretty healthy to me, but let's go with the flow here.

Yesterday I commented that Arm & Ang didn't want to go to El Alkie because they weren't welcome there. I said it wasn't like they could walk right up and ring the doorbell and go in--and dam* if they didn't!

Antonio is losing it. First he tells Camila not to consort with the servants and now he's blaming the servants for not knowing where she is. Can't have it both ways, buddy.

Loved the One-Hour Funerals. Maybe they'll have a Special for Don Gregorio--a Ten Minute Funeral.

Loved the 20 watt energy saver light bulb turns on. Poor Pedro he really has been a dunce through most of this tn. At least Santiago delivered the note safely and Pedro read it. This tells us we really *are* getting to the end. Fifty episodes ago, Santiago would have lost it or someone would have taken it away from him and burned it in an ashtray.

No one will believe this, but my word verification (besides a photo of no. 4) is--and I swear--nucheque. It must be Elvira trying anywhich way she can to get that check including sending telepathic messages to us through Google. Alas, we can't help you, dear Elvira.

Anita
 

Nucheque? NUCHEQUE? OMG I'm laughing so hard right now. It is a sign. Of what I don't know. I'm hiding my check book and I suggest you all do the same!
 

Nucheque? As in: the old cheque didn't go through, I need a nucheque? Excellent word verification!

I didn't think of that with Valentin, but he did end up in front of Camila even though he was just getting to Lu's when she was leaving. Odd. What a good comparison: Igor. Wasn't your hump on the other side?

50 episodes ago not only would Santiago have lost the check or what have you, but we would have had to watch it over and over. Remember how they used to repeat scenes? Now they are just throwing it at us.

I swear if this whole show had focused more on the Rita/ Rennie/ Elvira shenanigans, it would have been a hit. Did anyone else besides me raise both their hands in a "Yes" pose when it was Rennie at the door?

I feel so guilty getting this episode when Pobre Azul got Mariana shot through the heart and rolled in a blanket.

R la O
 

It should have been Pig-in-a-Blanket!
 

Haha! Good one, Sylvia!

I was feeling sad for the actors, especially after Blue said they were talking about them even on the Spanish blogs.

It's like that poor basketball team that is down by 40 but they just keep playing because they have to. I really think most of these actors, especially Aaron, Rafa, and Julieta deserved better. I don't know how Aaron is seemingly keeping up his good attitude. I guess it's called professionalism. I wouldn't know.

Off to bed and hoping none of us have any scary peacock dreams.

Thanks for the laughs.
 

G'night Rosemary.

I think the actors will be OK. After all, the show must go on. You're right, it is professionalism and teamwork.

When Elvira answered the door and was SHOCKED to see Rennie I wondered, do they not have peepholes for their doors? And if not can they not ask "Who is it?" Sheesh. Idiots.

Julia, your locks aren't doing any good without the peepholes. Are they just not installing them?
 

Thank you so much RlaO for this great recap. I so agree with the Cap'n that you should continue recapping. This whole recap was so funny, I was cracking up.

At least they had a funeral for Mariana. I thought it would never happen.

I laughed so hard when Rennie showed up at the Virus' and told her Rita wasn't his neice and he wanted to marry her lol. And of course she screeched like crazy. I wonder if "Doc" Doh-mo knows about the previous plot with the Prince of Darkness to poison the Pig's pills with the help of the Virus. I smell a little chantaje. lol.

Now Pedro grows the avacadoes, what took him so long??? And Santiago he had them all along. What a great kid. But I swear he does look like the Pig.

And El Capitan, sigh, I really like him. I loved how he didn't back down from the Pig. And the supoena, good deal. I hope they send the forensics team to Altrash. Unfortunely, luminol doesn't pick up bacon grease, but blood oh, yeah. She didn't bleed much though did she? Oh, and I think it may pick up sperm, yew. I just thought of that. Too much law and order I think.

The only animals at Altrash to be afraid of are the Pig and The Prince of Darkness and Valentin. What was that with him running to Ms Crazy. He tells her everything.

Oh, and RlaO love your title it is so perfect.

Oh, and Anita, I too laughed at your word verification too funny. I am with the Cap'n I hid my checkbook lol.
 

RlaO
Scream of A recap recap, girl. You had me in stitches. Who gnu? OK, I want us to compile a list of your comments regarding Rita's dresses, right from the first, where I believe I recall you commented, "I think she forgot her pants." This time you have got her in a swim suit cover up.

With the lemon and lime, gnus and peacocks and one hour funeral processing this was social commentary as much as recap.

Thanks again, Rosemary. I am waiting for you out here at Swan Winery.

La Infanta Azul
I didn't know that ET was being slammed in the
Spanish speaking blogs. Which do you read?
 

Hi EJ, don't remember where I saw it, but I was desperately hunting online for any inside information on when the final would be, and I came across a Spanish chat board. Someone said it was in últimos capítulos, and the first response was YA ERA HORA!!!! It went downhill from there.

Thanks for the sympathy, R la O. I'll take it. :)
 

Thanks, Madelaine for the kind remarks. I'm glad you got a roar, too, when Rennie showed up. Too funny!

With my joke about if Luminol picked up bacon grease splatters too, I was wondering just what evidence they have that Pig was the last one to see Mariana. Is it Santiago's testimony?

Who gnu? Really, EJ? We're gonna go there? lol Loved your label of "social commentary". I'll wear it!

I thought of you and Sylvia this morning while watching the news. Looks like SLC will finally be getting a Trader Joes! Now you need to remind me what we were talking about that was so good there. Alas, I will not be able to buy Two Buck Chuck, as Utah's liquor laws don't allow that sin.

So, I guess we'll have to meet at Swan's. I actually spoke with my Cousin Sandy a while back and she said she'd love to take us on a tour, but the wine testing room is just a metal shed her dad and his step sons put up in one afternoon. She is coming to visit me pretty quick here. Maybe we can firm up a month that I head out there for a weekend at that time. Will keep you in the loop!
 

Great recap.

But apparently I have a fever, or have been transplanted to an alternate universe. Was that my imagination, was I dreaming, is this really happening, PEDRO, PEDRO FROM FRESNO now has cajones? The writers found and put PEDRO's brain back along with thinking process. I could not believe the advances. PEDRO WITH A BRAIN WHO WOULD HAVE THUNK IT.
 

Nellie - You weren't dreaming. There was a flicker, a brief flicker. Then he said he better go talk to Elvira as she is the key to all this. As if she'll fess up to him.

Imagine how sexy he'd be with that smile AND a brain? Maybe today!
 

What a treat this morning... 3 Rs, Renato, Rita, and Rosemary la O.

Poor Pig. How would you react if your Dr. gave you a new medication and told you that it might result in a bit of paralysis of the arms and legs? Yikes!

I thought that Flo looked so cute in that little outfit she had on yesterday. Uh oh... now I'm sounding like Augusto (Abismo).

Carlos
 

Thanks, Carlos! I like the 3 R's!

Flor did look cute in that strapless minidress, but juxtaposed with El Capitan in his puffy Bomber Jacket, one of them was dressed wrong for that day's weather.
 

A tangent, but a related one: Verizon FiOS's EPG has what appears to be the final episode of Largate! scheduled for Friday, June 15. I'm not seeing anything official about this anywhere, but it fits a rough 100-episode run and the usual 4-6 week ultimos capitulos run...can any of you check this against your providers' EPGs?
 

Bill, we are assuming the June 15 episode is indeed the last -- especially as it is running for 2 hours that day.

Whew!
 

Sorry for the late post; it was a long day. But your recap was wonderful R la O. And as others have noted, you must continue to do this. You are hilarious and a natural.

But you talk to yourself, and that's a little disturbing.
