Vino el Amor, Lunes 01/9/17 Chapter 49: Departures and Disasters
Labels: vino
Wow, giving a portrait of YOURself and your "family" to someone as a wedding gift. Can we say "narcissistic?" Succubus loves to twist that knife.What a cold, calculating vitch, indeed.
david petitions Gut for his hrlp. Lilian slaps Gut.
And so it goes....zzzzzzzz
Your dialog translations were superb and you had so many wonderful lines, especially "Fernanda – who virtually never sheds her brat".
I slept through most of this so thank you for covering the events with humor and flair.
I can't help but ponder what is ever ill wake David up from sleepwalking through life. He is simply going through the motions. While his relationship with Bobby has strengthened, it is still precarious with Fernanda (mostly due to her stubbornness to allow David to follow his heart). As Fernanda does not seem inclined to change at the moment, David might best get on with rounding out the rest of his life. His embrace with Luciana was beyond touching. Yet, where is the fiery passion that they (and we) so desperately need?
Cesar rebuffed. Yet again.
Brian spews another lie and is managing to hang onto Lili by a fraying life line.
The subplots hold little interest (other than anything involving Sonia of course). This needs to move along.
Diana
The TN keeps setting up stuff -- the acid, Erika, the missing immigrant girl, Susan taking back her abuser husband -- and then absolutely NOTHING happens. Will Luciana and Leon actually board the plane for Mexico? I doubt it.
There are too many pins set up and no balls to knock them over. Brian should really get out of town and apply for another police position elsewhere. He may have learned his lesson by now. In view of who Lillian is and TN rules there is no way Marta won't find out that he deported Luciana and Marcos.
As far as Sonia goes I'd like to see her turn on Lillian and eventually end the story with a new job and a new life. The writers seem to be setting her up to end up with Leon, but are they really right for each other?
"who virtually never sheds her brat"
Did I miss the long courtship of Cesar and Graciela? I saw them at dinner twice so most of the I love you's and declarations of fidelity musta been by snapchat. Either that or Cesar is CRAZY.
Luciana - do I have to kiss uncle Dave
Miguel - priorities? When a grape vine can lick me head to toe like Luciana we'll talk.
Leon - I can wear my new shirt on my trip
Fernanda - must I leave for university, betcha obedience school has classes online
Graciela - it was this photo or the selfie kissing
Susan - am I the only one that watches the weather channel?
Brian - never dreamed it was this hard to get dog poo off your shoe
Juan - good thing Perla Vision ain't 20/20
The photo was specifically to stab Luciana to the heart. Nothing is actually going on at this point and David isn't truly interested in Gracie. The only thing that would get him into her bed is being drunk or drugged.
Is anyone else betting that FerBrat will not go away to college? I wonder whether she is even making the grade.
Fer brings back a lot of bad memories of detention halls with mean teen girls. ....wearisome juvenile ego. The world revolves around moi.
DisGracie is so disingenuous and such a faker. What other beautiful blonde successful woman gives up everything to dedicate to her "family" which aren't her husband and kids? She keeps talking about how important her "family" is to her and how dedicated she is to her "sobrinos" and how much they "need" her. She also thinks she can "psych" Luciana by showing her the happy little family photo. She totally underestimates Luciana. DisGracie is so adept at being a faker that she thinks she can fool everyone. Problem is she's mostly adept at fooling men through manipulation and trickery.
Oh and when Lilian slapped Gutierrez, he should have just thrown her out and booked her for assault. She's pretending to have so much power and authority, but it's all fake too. Her "contacts" are David's business contacts and perhaps old friends of Lisa's. I don't know how he could be so swayed by her "temptations". Maybe like Elvis, he will later sing to her, "You ain't nothin' but a hound dog."
Miguel is getting on my nerves. He reminds me of a panting little dog who keeps sitting up with his paws up waiting for his treat
Susanlynn: FerBrat will get her KARMA sooner or later! The big ego will get popped at some point.
UA: Luciana is BORING1
And is she as successful as she says she is? What is the real deal there?
All three novelas we're watching have huge potential for villain parents and children to turn on each other. Evil is its own punishment.

Steve, AMEN on Erika needing to move in on Miguel and soon. He deserves better than he's getting.
I was LMAO at the cold grapes. I have no idea if that's a real thing in winemaking but in this show it was totally a plot device. For a few minutes I thought they were setting up that David would "just have" to go with her. But I guess that would have required some actual action from Grumpy.
Heck, Graciela has at least been nice to Cesar and she's not even into him.

In France it seems they use the wood burning fires. Other places in California use huge fans or a sprinkler system.
I don't think Gracie knew the wedding was off when she gave Luci the framed photo. I may have dozed off, but I certainly caught the muscle fondling reward she was getting through David's shirt.
Has anyone noticed that it's only Luciana who says, "we can't be together?" And it's David who goes along and says nothing? Well, ok, he actually came out and made that "although we are not together" speech in the office. Juan definitely caught the nuance of that statement.
Someone earlier mentioned the beginning credits roll. I also noticed that when they are shown together they are not looking at each other. That should have given all of us a BIG clue as to where this telenovela was going to go. Arrrghhhh!
I am not invested in any of these people. However, the actress playing DisGracie is doing a great job of portraying a porcelain doll with a heart of ice...Excellent villain. I cannot buy a guy like Gut putting up with threats from someone like Lilian. I cannot accept that he is really in love with Marta if he is servicing Lilian. The guy playing Juan is guaypo but has a limited number of facial expressions. HE folds his arms when vexed. His ENglish is very good, however. I wonder how he would do as a galan.
ROLL TIDE ROLL!
I guess the kiss that missed Dave's lips keeps Luci from being a cheater. Too bad all the suspense they can come up with is will she/won't she leave. . . delayed action response on the tainted wine. . .Lilli's threats! Give me a break! If all he's got going for him is that old bag's good graces, he's got no business being the sheriff of anything. He can't even keep that heffa out of his office! She just waltzes in whenever she damned well pleases and now she's bitch-slapping him! Pitiful.
I'm done fussin'. Thanks, Urban!
I doubt Marta knows that he's boinking Lillian. If she ever walks in on them (unlikely, but what do the writers care about that?) he's finished in her eyes.
I really don't like fernandna. She is
Such a brat. A nasty one. He should send her away now, she's sickeningly
Annoying.
Miguel should go away. Without Lucy. Ok Hopefully the writers will come up with something in this plot that won't
Make me yawn. SOON!!!!WOULD BE GOOD!
Thanks Urban.
