Qué Bonito Amor #120 (Mex 158) Monday 9/30/13 Temporary Losses and a Major Confession
This looks like a lot of overcompensation to us. |
DF, Vecindad: The mariachis arrive to find the apartment building closed down. They wonder what has happened.
Labels: QBA
I'm so glad that you will continue with the super dooper weekend topics!
I don't like the looks of this for Don Nando. I would very much hate for him to die as it would seem so very unfair, but this Mejia character seems to have ideas that I sometimes cannot fathom.
Mil gracias, Urban, mil gracias!

My viewing of this TN has been spotty at best, but I am trying to watch this last week to see how it ends. I want to thank you so much for all your hard work on this TN, we will miss you muchly, but I hope you will be able to sub once in a while so we get to have your always marvelous recaps. The MET and the Opera Club are indeed so lucky to have you. You are a gem.
I was shocked the most by Concho's confession. I never saw that coming.
I hope Elvira, Rueben, Mirna and Guiliano get their anvils. They so richly deserve them!
I think the man that Justo was talking to, was either his old boss or current boss. The Head of the Delegation so to speak. Wasn't he the same man from the beginning of this TN? I am very glad he is helping Justo. I want Guilano to pay and then pay again.
That instrument Vincente was holding looked so much like a ukulele, I was laughing. The poor boy, I hope he ends up with Ana and Fernando.
Thanks so much again Urban!
Do not go to the Wikipedia page because it is loaded with spoilers. Someone needs to write to them about this to get them to find a way to conceal them because we can't be the only country to get these programs months behind Mexico's debut of them.
I have suspected Concho for a long time about the murder; after what Santos and Fernando discovered I realized that Concho was the only person with a motive. There had to be a reason he didn't try to see Amalia all that time and that reason was that he was dodging his conscience. He has been looking progressively worse in the last two weeks so I think he sees his own Karmageddon on its way.
Of course Maria has to be pregnant.
With regard to Karmageddons, we have not seen Ruben's ex since the night she hired the thug to attack Maria. I would hate to see that left as a loose end because she deserves an anvil for that one.
You gotta wonder if it was the same writers throughout this TN. There are too many sloppy loose ends.
Concho will probably have some catastrophic heart attack as his anvil (my guess). Having lived with the murder of his business partner all his life, plus the outright theft of Amalia's inheritance has had to have taken its toll. I think the final straw was seeing that his own daughter was an evil, selfish woman. That probably hurt him more than anything.
I hate to keep harping on Amalia, but this woman still fries me. If she and her husband had had such a loving relationship, why in the world was she so ready to believe the worst of him? Why didn't she make any efforts to get to the truth? I think that would have made for a much more believable story and would have tempered my dislike for this character.
Yeah, we all knew Maria was pregnant. I guess the writers thought that would surprise us?
Urban, I always enjoy your comments on these TNs. Which TN will you be following/commenting upon now?

Hope that works.

But I'm not going to miss the tn itself. I was pretty much disappointed in Jorge Salinas' portrayal of this character and he just looked too old for the part and tired, especially now with a 5 o'clock shadow (it just doesn't look good in HD). Granted he had some health issues, but he's a trooper and didn't let anyone step in for him, either in LQNPA or QBA.
OK, Influenza? Where did that come from? (And diptheria over on LaTemp?) All those prisoners, living in such close quarters, should routinely have gotten flu shots. I've had a bad case of flu twice as an adult and I don't ever remember sleeping peacefully for days.
This one-liner is side-bar worthy: "In the clinic Don Nando tries to give Santos the sleep-learning pep talk to keep fighting."
Oh, and what is the Prision Estatal going to do without its dentist now?
In an e-mail, Ms. 5ft. called it Que Aburrido Amor. I think she nailed it.

I will also be starting an opera blog, title TBD. I have yet to decide whether it will be "anonymous" or under my real name. One of my articles will be about how opera and telenovelas have overlapping DNA.
I am going to start writing my closing remarks for QBA but they will not be published until Jardinera's recap is up on Saturday.
Influenza could have been introduced into the prison by way of a prisoner who entered without symptoms. Why this has to be in the story is obvious: One more risk to Santos' life before the end.
I'm pretty sure that the unidentified friend of Justo's is the State Attorney General who was around earlier. Just how Santos could be having all the problems he has if his dad is the AG is the only part that mystifies me. ;)
I think the flu deal is just another example of how they think US prisons are like Mexican ones. In this country, there is no way that prison inmates would not get flu vaccinations. In Mexico? No way. And some would die. However, it's not too likely that the healthy and young (or middle aged if your beanie's slipped) like JAntos would be in danger. Whatevs. I am soooo ready for this train wreck to drive itself over the cliff and put us all out of our misery.
Maria pg? *yawn* Not too surprised that Concho killed Pedro. He seems to be saying his goodbyes and I think he knows he is living in the shadow of an anvil. I hope Rub and OJ take each other out over Maria.
So let me get this straight, OJ tips off ICE about Maria and they go right to the prison and arrest her. Too bad these guys weren't the ones on the job when Santos was running amok between two countries. The Derechos couldn't find him when they were five feet away.
So the twin thug killers are sipping brandy and congratulation themselves and silently scheming about how they are going to get Maria for themselves and revenge against the hapless mariachis. My take is that at least one of them will bite the dust tonight at the hands of the other. And I don't care which one goes first.
I just knew that when the mariachis got back to the DF they'd all stand around in front of the closed building wondering WTH went on and sure enough. Now we have Maria having to go through the same thing. I still can't believe that these people don't have cell phones and apparently nobody thought to even call Amelia.
Poor Isa one not real father murdered and the other one in prison. Poor little mite is going to need therapy if her real father turns out to be Concho.
Speaking of Concho I don't know why on my list of things I wanted answered Pedro's murder wasn't there. I guess I just gave up hoping for an answer. Didn't we all hear that you reap what you sow and didn't Concho just figure that out with Evile. He is a liar, murderer and thief and voila so is she.
Kind of strange to sideline the lead protagonista in bed with the flu in the last week. I know he will rally, but hopefully in time for him to actively right some wrongs. I like the way Maria has stepped up.
"Don Nando tries to give Santos the sleep-learning pep talk to keep fighting." LOL!!!
"gringo immigration cops with bad accents arrive" --that got me giggling today for sure cuz they were so obviously anything but Americans.
"running slow-mo into each other's arms" -- I had to do a double-take here and asked myself if this was a hair shampoo commercial or not.
"At last Amalia says something that makes sense!" --yeah, and it took her the entire tn to do it, too. Tsk.
It was great having you on this team again but we all need a break from time to time. I hope you have the time of your life with the opera group and get to meet some famous singers up close and personal. At least we'll have you and your analytical wit commenting I hope. DZ plays a better villano than galan, but he didn't do too badly in Ocampo's last one so I figure I can handle another with him in the lead. JMNSHO. Anywhoo, thanks for your dogged dedication on this one and the extra flourish you always give us! ; > ))
I wonder whether Santos is sick here because he can keep his eyes closed. The eye patch has not appeared and I wonder whether this was meant to work its way around it. A sudden accident is hard to cover when one is in the final episodes, unlike the emergency when episode 69 of LQNPA was being shot.
That does make sense but someone said the eyepatch is not in the final so who knows. I suspect they shot around him and then addd all these scenes with him later,
I have to say I sure would liked to have been a fly on the wall when Amelia gave her daughter "The Talk". She doesn't recognize the symptoms when she got pregnant the first time and now months later still seems to have missed the clues. And this girl is a lawyer?
