Amar a Muerte, 11/29/2018, Episode 21: Games Goons Play OR Colombo Solves the Case of the Missing iPhones
Labels: Muerte
How shud we interp Carla? Is she a gambling addict or a genius at poker who only got in trouble because of cheating? But how long wud you gamble w/ such people & not encounter cheating? And if you win, what are the chances you won't make it home w/ your money? Here embezzling argues for gambling addict.
BTW, if your DVR fails, the episodes are being put on YouTube, only what I would call capitulo 21 is posted in YOutube as Cap 23.
The cops shud have used helicopters.
I got a bit of a chuckle out of Leon-in-Chino naming Johny as at fault for the bad publicity to the thugs, in this game of
The Prince of Wales has lost his hat:
Jacobo go . . . [to the foot]
: Who sir me sir? No sir, not I sir.
Who then sir?
Jacobo, "Johny, sir."
I'm not sure how the prensa got the news about the sequester. Can someone clue me in?
"It's getting deep around here" was great as was
" Johny probably wishes now he had sent her to the vet to have her chipped."
Not sure where the Juli/Val story is going but I remember in college there were several women who chose the lesbian lifestyle after callous treatment by boyfriends.
Thanks for another well-paced, snarky recap. Will look forward to watching this later today.
Benny.
Yep, old smarty pants Johny should have had his prize pet chipped the last time she was in for her distemper shots.
Dam I was pissed when all they found was the phones. Columtillo was looking pretty good up until that point
The apple part even got through to my stone heart. That was sweet. And yeah, she is falling and she can't get up.
Why haven't we made up a fitting name for Johny? Oh we have ? But even the most flattering ones would not do to print here anyway.
BTW where is Steve? I kinda miss his nuclear bomb take on everything. "You want Cheerios or Raisin Bran for Breakfast Steve?"
"Kill them all and let God sort it out. How many bodies was that anyway?"
"OK, Cheerios it is."
Benny you kinda sort of maybe feel a little sorry for Johny? Having your Best Friend / Boss stabbed in the gut and killed at his wedding in front of his children and new bride pretty much takes pity off the table for me, :-) Grrrr
Happy Friday Patio. And thanks again RGV for another great, well written recap.
I was a little disappointed in the rescue attempt too. Helicopters would have been good, Enoch. My question is who took the phone from Lucia? id they enjoy it? Ok. I'm being bad, I'll stop. THe scenes were quick and a bit choppy. So did they move Lucia and LCJ to another location. Or was goon who got killed put out as bait along with the phones in a different location? This TN is too fast, too furious.
I do have to say that Chuspa and his goons are a tad bit more cautious and reluctant to kill than Alacran and his goons. Alacran would have probably shot any "worthless" hostage right away...just like he shot Lupitas's cousin in the market.
JudyB, I don't know where the Vale/Juls story is going either. It does seem to be going toward a serious relationship with them, but then women tend to show more affection (emotional and physical) toward each other than men do despite their sexual preference.
Benny, I'm still hoping that some of EL Chino's instinct comes out and LCJ manages to save the day. Enoch, I finally thought of one TN where the male lead was a hero and did alot of saving: "Manana Es Para Siempre" with Fernando Colunga; did you see that one?
Kirby, Ican;t seem to come up with a good name for Johny. If he were a sex maniac, I would call him JohorNy, but he doesn't seem to be. I think Adriana has come up with the best one yet: JohnyBeBad. I ususl take that and change the ending: JohnyBEvil, JohnyBeSkeered, etc.
Then we can later name him JonDead.
And I'm warning the Death Chick right here and now,he STAYS dead, got it?
:-)
but they can't end the story by divulging secrets at this point.
The Ol Almost-Spill-the-Beans-Routine
Lucia, theyz something I just gotta tell you.
OK.
Lucia, this has weighed on my heart so long.
I'm listening.
Lucia, I just must get this off my chest.
I understand.
Lucia, I hate to hurt you, but
Go ahead!
Lucia, my mother told me not to tell you
Out with it!
Lucia, it's like this.
I'm all ears.
Lucia, here goes.
Have at it.
THEN Cell phone rings or someone barges into the room or (in old cowboy movies) a hand on an arm enters through an open window; hand has a gun on it; BANG!
They could go on have the episode w/ almost spilling the beans, but they never come out.
"I don't know an easy way to tell you this I wear blue contacts." Aaaaaarrrrrggggghh
MY REACTIONS 1 / IMHO
Cud it be that they are multiplying Moth Mancha People & Witches to the excess? Now Silverfish.
A slight breeze? Or a stink?
LCJ? I like the acronymn.
If someone is angry, & you tell him to calm down, what will be the result?
So just what does Fabian plan to do to "Chino"? I thot "Chino" was free on double-jeopardy. Do the Mex cops have grounds to arrest "Chino"?
Karla wud be an idiot to let Camilo pretend to regress her.
If Renata looks deeply into Willy, she is going to see a jerk, which is obvious even on the surface. Normal person? If normal persons are selfish, at least they manage to hide it a lot. Investigating enough to find out that Renata likes her postre seems inconsistent w/ his usual non-empathetic narcissism.
Val & her new pal seem to be at least a tad on the sticky side.
Highlight of the Resumen: "Johny probably wishes now he had sent her to the vet to have her chipped." ROFL
Willy the Jerk abandons Renata in the restauranta; like dumping her before. Why didn' she pick up a cream pie & give him the old pastelazo in the face?
The environment didn't seem enough like the Garden of Eden for Lucia to be offering an apple to her Adam.
Raking leaves: The plot to me is diffuse & Byzantine, a lot of separate stuff going in separate directions as of now.
I call Johny "Johny Angel"(for the old song, resung by Karen Carpenter). He is one of the most repugnant villains I recall having seen. How Anon-Benny cud feel sorry for him is beyond me.
FriFish night approacheth, & we expect an advance in the sex-mance of Chino-in-Beltron with the mina. But he is taking her for ice cream, not to a bar for some reason.
To me the speed of the TN is tangential speed, quick entry into side paths, like The College Girl Mina w/ Tall Guy.
ALL-A-CRANE is a question mark. Does his gang like another gang to be outed or do they stand together on opposing publicity? Of course if he is on Eva's side, rescuing Lucia wud not be desired.
Vale/Juls story. thus far, I call it "sticky."
"Fernando Colunga; did you see that one?" No, but Amor Real is a favorite of mine. Didn't he get shot in AR tho? I think FC is a great actor. Mauricio Islas (a heroic but TN-suffering hero in that one too) got shot, even to death. Mauricio Islas became a Christ-figure in Los Plateados (extensive resemblance complete w/ death, resurrection & Mary Magdalene visiting the dead body, whom she revived in Los P. I guess that MI is a Christ figure, substutionary death, also in Amor Real.
I call him Johny Angel. Do U know the old-now song? Karen Carpenter redid it.
Last I looked Thursday's episode was uploaded to YouTube as capitulo 23 in three parts.
Somebody has been uploading Amar a Muerte on YouTube; I expect Univision to eventually block the uploads. They probably have a direct contact with YouTube to inform of copyright violations to which YouTube will respond at once.
Do you "tingle when he passes by" on the screen? (Not me.)

I have never heard a female singer w/ a more beautiful voice than Karen Carpenter's.
Enoch, "The Ol Almost-Spill-the-Beans-Routine" VERY aggravating isn;t it? and yes, I do remember and like "Johny Angel" but I don't remember the remake, just the Shelly Fabares version. I would never have associated that song with our odious Johny.
I have no idea what Fabian will do if he ever finds El Chino. As fara as the cops are concerned, the only way I can explain why they would interested in finding El Chino is that he crossed over illegally.
OK so we are seeing the tender side of Lucia falling for Jacobo, and this time she really means it, because no one is urging her to and he supposedly has nothing to offer.
Who else thinks it will be fun seeing it scramble her yolks when it comes to light that the Luuuurve of her life, jer chofer, is actually the guy she married for underhanded reasons and cheated on the whole time.
Who hopeos he falls for her, and who hopeos he can resist and make her pay. (ME).
" they would interested in finding El Chino is that he crossed over illegally." Oh simple: They know Ala is gunning for him and want to take him into protective custody.
Yeah, he'd be hot with one blue and one brown like a Siberian Husky split eye. #sorrynotsorry
kj
Lucia has done some shady things and she does not get a pass because her parents were scumbags. If that were the case we would hardly need jails. She knows about a murder, and kept quiet about it, so falling for him now may be a harsher punishment meted out by fate than any man-mad punishment could be.
I too, want them to eventually in the end find happiness. But before that, life has some uncollected debts outstanding.
All of us are happy with your little updates, we think about you all the time.
Thanks for telling me about Alborado; I intend to check it out.
Occult indeed; has anyone seen a more occult TN?
FALLING FOR LEON'S SOUL:
Pardon me for a ref to El Cuerpo del Deseo; some may want to watch it; so I don't want to spoil it for such. But the cuerpo = Mario Cimarro, & the women in ECDD go into spontaneous heat when they view his cuerpo del deseo; it ain't his soul they want; however, his arrogance may be part of his attraction. Don't some women like arrogance in a man?
Blue Eyes:
Seems they like to use non-brown eyed persons for lead roles in this show. I don't have brown eyes, but I find brown eyes very attractive in a woman. Eva's eyes look grey to me. I think that Hispanics where the predominate eye color is brown, tend to lump green, blue, grey eyes into one word expression "ojos claros."
Crossed over illegally!?
would Jorge Ramos allow that on Univision? Don't you gotta say indocumentado?
BTW, do we know where Chino was born? Was he legally in USA to begin with?
1) Lucia/Johny/Leon-in-Chino romance triangle
2) Eva puts horns on Mateo, who is chatting up some girl in the office,
3) El Jerko mistreats Renata, while his conscience bothers him over a shooting.
4) Eva & The Scorpion
5) non-Columbo's detective work.
6) Murdered judge's son pursues (Leon-in) Chino.
7) Karla the gambler
8) Chino-in-Beltran conflicts w/ "wife" & goes after college girl
9) Gang attacks prensa,
10) Chino-in-Beltran tries to recover maletin a/ $ while fake-Bruja horns in,
11) Chino-in-Beltran conscience-guilt w/ La Muerte after him.
12) Val & Juli get sticky
What else?
Rgv Chick, no I haven't watched that novela, the only novela of Colunga I have watched, is Esmeralda unfortunately.
Enoch, I have watched el cuerpo del deseo, and although I loved Salvador, there were times were his arrogance was unbearable...I would choose Jacobo over Salvador any day.
Hi Susanlynn, although I am neither a close friend nor family, I'm really sorry for your loss.
Benny
susanlynn,
I take it that you have suffered a bereavement, & my heart goes out to you. I prayed for you.
Enoch, just to add to your list of plots: Mateo's plight to oust the Cartels and get revenge for Gaston's murder.I don't think we've seen the last of Santi and his mom, so maybe there will be a plot line there too. And glad we increased your esteem of womanhood :-)
Benny, I didn't see Fernando Colunga in Esmeralda, but I did see the original Esmeralda a loooog time ago with Lupita Ferrer and Jose Bardina as the protags.
They could have Santi (Jimbo?) get out the crystal ball & tune in on Eva as she visits the Scorpion, then suddenly a blocking banner crosses inside the ball & says, "Confirm your age that you are over 18."
Death is a very cruel separator. But this life is short. And the separation can be brief. There is a place where all tears are wiped away & the separation for a few years is replaced by eternal union in perfect bliss, though there be no more "marriage" as we have known it.
I knew a lady who lost a child and it drove her to make sure she would go to Heaven so she could see her child again.
For mine, if you ask, I will happily email you the full resolution originals.
