Caray, Caray!

Pablo,

I LOL with your description of the visitors in the hospital which of course included the "Three Wise Men". I don't think I will ever be able to see a group in a hospital waiting room without thinking of your recap.

Thanks. I wanted to end that sentence with:
''and La Pinta, la Niña y la Santa María''
but I felt it was too much! LOL
 

Pablo, thanks for confirming what I thought about chestnuts and Mexico. I also liked Melchor, . Gaspar and Baltazar added to the group. Too funny!

Verónica actually allowing Jesús to take Valentina without the list of "dos and don'ts" was very interesting. She can be quite the chameleon to get what she wants. Too bad she is crazy!

Fernando cutting up the money with Santa and a snowman in the background was good too. It seems like his "conversion" is real at least for now.

More trees appearing, people singing "Campana sobre campana", Christmas must be anyday now. That could cause some very interesting situations and dilemmas if they let it.

Pablo--I'll read the rest of your recap in the morning, but the title got me. Congrats on getting a terrific episode. Can't wait to get your take on our Pat-a-tat-tat-tatty. She talks sooo fast and throws those idioms around like nerf balls.
 

Pablo:

Wonderful, so funny, priceless recap.

I laughed out loud when Ferny cut up all that dinero and confessed all his sins on paper. Rogue will have an infarto! I thought he'd kill him in the hospital.

Rogue is very vain. I had to laugh about him and his nose. As long as his nose was ok, he was ok, lol.

Glad Chucho let Rogue he was on to him.

Patymelt was too funny with the devil voice and Jess with the horn and tail, lol.

Who knew that Vero could dress like Kiss and no rules, or regs, no hand sanitizer, or fumigating spray and she's letting Valentina spend the night at Chucho's, que,que what???? Maybe it is the Christmas spirit, Hmmmmmm?????
 

Oh my, Pablo, another stunning recap! Your " Jesús makes face number 63.5" particularly tickled me.

This was actually a good episode to watch recovering from a bout of some nasty bug. Made me smile at the absurdity of most of what I was watching...though I did enjoy some of the Christmas touches. Chestnuts??? Maybe some inside joke we aren't catching??

Ferny really means business about becoming a good guy, though it was sad to see him cut up the evil money. I think Rog would have been almost ballistic if he gave it to some good cause...but that's me. Though I have to say, for some reason I'm starting to feel unsure about he and Discua actually becoming an end game item. Hopefully he'll stay good, I like the idea of a split between he and Rog.

Love love love Val and her reaction to her room. FC is so good with kids in scenes and she is such a cutie. Vero crack me up though...amazing how the Disinfectant Queen vanishes when it suits her. For Val's sake, wish that would last.

Remind me not to get sick anywhere near that hospital. Sorry lack of medical personnel roaming around and no security of check-in on who can come and go. Either that or this was a low-budget production....had to cut somewhere in casting.

Thanks for your support. I still miss little important details like the Marsha Brady one (my nose!) but I am getting there.

The chestnuts thing could be just to let us see how Verónica REMEMBERS something important from Jesús family life and incorporate it to her EVIL PLAN of conquering him. She can pay attention to detail when it comes to get what she wants.

In real life, that Hospital, is where all the medical students and nurses go to make their internship while and after studying/graduating. It should have more people or movement right?
Juárever!
Maybe they just showed the facade because they already used the one from the IMSS (where Pánfilo is) and they didn't want Avon people running around from room to room, between Pánfilo and Rogelio!!
 

AyAy Pablo. Another treasure trove of mixed metaphors and cultural education lessons and laughing all the way. Too many great lines to single any one out--I loved todito todito.

How did you manage to skip over the second near death of poor Fernando? I know it didn't move the whole story forward, but Rogue up and in full command of his bodily functions tries to choke Fernando. He was furious. It certainly sets the scene for the future schism between the brothers.

I was *waiting* for the doctor to mention Rogue's half sunburned face in front of Alma. Darn if Rogue didn't come up with a good excuse for not having been in Toluca later.

CI and QBA should borrow these writers for some of their episodes. We could use a character like Pattymelt in both of those (Elvira in QBA is such a predictable drag).

Maybe as Veronica's ridgidity loosens up her fashion sense deteriorates at a faster rate. What on earth was that outfit - Kiss - doing in 1) the psychologist's office, 2) the local headquarters of Avon, and 3) the hospital. It was also inappropriate for just plain old street wear--unless you are plying a trade on the streets.

 

Thank you, Pablo! I haven't had a chance to read this yet, but I just had to tell you this: I turned on English captions last night, and guess what the Caption Lady said? Just guess?!?

It was when Fernando was telling Rogelio he was going on the straight and narrow and the path of true light blah blah blah and Rogue said something like "I'm sick of hearing about your mystical bullshit." Yes, all spelled out in English, in CAPITAL LETTERS, not just "BS" but the whole word. It didn't really match what Rog was saying in Spanish. He was expressing contempt, but not THAT much contempt!

I had to laugh. This from the same network that once bleeped "pipi" and blurred out a puddle of dog-pee on the floor.
 

Pablo, such a clever title and a terrific recap, right out the gate with your first sentence about edible arrangements. I love how your opening paragraph had an almost noir or hard-boiled tone to it. And "Melchor, Gaspar y Baltazar" made me snort out loud. You've got a way with words, amigo. No doubt about it.

Julie, for reals? MYSTICAL BULLSHIT was all spelled out? That is really too, TOO funny.
 

Yeah! I miss some things to highlight some more that only make me lift my eyebrow. Too good here inthis blog there's a lot of people who is paying attention to different things, so we can cover practically the whole spectrum!!

Speaking about the doctor. I saw him taking care of Olga in CdL, but I would swear I saw him here before. Wasn't he the one who treated Jesús when Malvino beat him up? The Hospital was a different one, so I am trying to find out if this is TODIM (the only doctor in Monterrey) who works in more than one Hospital...

Indeed Rogelio says: Estoy hasta aquí (and he touches the tip of his hair) de tus babosadas místicas. I have had up to here with your mystical BS... Who've thunk it?
 

Babosadas. That's it. Is it really that harsh? I assume it's stronger then "tonterias," but I figure if it's not bad enough to bleep in Spanish, the English probably doesn't need to be a bleepable word either.

Actually, I would even have been surprised even to see "crap" in the captions, which is probably how I would have translated it. (WordReference.com says "rubbish," which is probably better.)
 

Oh... BS could stand for Babo Sadas! I didn't even think of that! They really should have used "BS"!
 

Great recap, Pablo. Nina, Pinta, Santa Maria would have worked, too.

Anita: loved this: "Pat-a-tat-tat-tatty."

Afraid that if Discua breaks up with Fernando, he'll go back to his evil ways.

It's time for Jesus to have the Xochi break up talk with Vero. And why was he acting like that when Chatita was telling Vero about Alma? V has no say in who Jesus hangs with.

Nanette
 

Julie, that BS was great!
 

The nice thing about the conversation between Rog and Fernando is that you didn't need to know a word of Spanish to know what they were talking about. If it wasn't clear during that scene, it was obvious later when Fernando was making confetti of all that cash!

I LOLed at the chestnuts thing because it just seemed such a pretentious thing for Vero to say. She is trying so hard to impress Chucho and she can't see that he is immune to her charms. You'd think the fact that he never attempts to kiss her or even touch her would be a dead giveaway.

I saw "Pattymelt" on a lunch menu today and thought, "spelled wrong!"

I have a new Payaso brand product idea: Breakfast Wine for Kids! With 8 Essential Vitamins Plus Iron!
 

Pablo, you have a gift. You really do. :)
 

Favorite lines from today:

- Rogelio...trying to convince Jesús of his truthiness.

- Elías has been saved by Rogelio, would he want to marry him too??

- Discua...forgot her dress and went out on the streets in a blue silk camisole with black lace barely covering her cleavage.

- Wink-o-meter: Low ;-) ;-) ;-)

 

Heh. I liked the part about the hospital clearing out an entire floor for Avon employees. And, you know, it's not just for the benefit of the Avon people. I'm sure the other patients appreciate it too, so that none of the Avon weirdness rubs off on them!

I'm looking forward to "tomorrow" to see what awful horror of an outfit Vero comes up with next, but I suppose "tomorrow" won't come tonight because we still have Alma's bachelorette party, right? Is that tonight? That should be traumatic enough.
 

Oh dear...my aged VCR seems to be dying and I missed 3/4 of this. So ESPECIALLY grateful for your witty recap Pablo.

Kiss stand-in for Vero's outfit. Wicked.

As was face 63.4. You're no fan of Colunga I know. Well,heck, I've never noticed whether he can act or not. I just like looking at him.

Verrrry sorry I missed the Fernando scenes. I'm getting such a kick out of Fernando's saintliness.

Oh well, hope my VCR does a better job tonight...if not, I'll have to scour the internet for a new (rebuilt) one.
 

A laugh riot from beginning to end, Pablo.

Chestnuts, huh? I only ever have roasted chestnuts at my local neighborhood holiday open house/street fair, and they aren't that good. Like potatoes, but more chewy and bland. What's the point? If you're going to pretentiously adopt a tradition, pick something tastier!

Paticakes is a delight. She is so irrepressible. I loved when she was taunting Rogue about the injuries and talking Hey-soooos into the stripper thing.

Fernando may have seen the light, but he is still an idiot. Why didn't he return the money to wherever they skeezily got it from, or else donate it to some worthy cause?
 

Is not that I don't like him (I am liking Pati more like everybody else), but I have noticed he is making those faces, and someone said before, face number something...

Last night I remembered Robin Williams in Popeye with an eye closed and I thought, maybe Colunga studied acting in the same school Popeye did...
 

Pablo, great job as always.
I didn't get to see the whole episode but appreciated your humor. Expression 63.5 had me ROTFL.
I wonder if the preview is what we will really see tonight. I can only hope.
 

Ha ha, I was the one who numbered the faces, but I don't think he has 63 -- maybe 6.3!
 

Oh my, you're even tougher on Colunga than Pablo!
 

Any expression on his face is fine with me :).
 

Julia: me, too!
 

Are you two actually looking at his *face*? ;}
 

What are you insinuating?!?!
 

¡¡JA!! We'll wait until tomorrow and see if you remember ANY of the dialog.
 

He has dialogue?
 

He has a face??
