Amar a Muerte, 11/20/18, Episode 15: A Kiss to Die For
Labels: Muerte
From a prior episode when Leon was telling Camilo about his recent discovery of Lucia cheating on him with Johnny, Camilo remarked that Leon was an afficcionado of spy movies or something of the sort, which served as inspiration for the house batcave. Apparently Leon didn't really use it though? Would have solved many things before they became problems.
Re: Lucia's secure insecurity
So she remarks to Leonchi that men are insipid and she enjoys seeing them try too hard to entice her, the prettiest girl in the room. Then she refuses to answer his question on whether she would be as successful in luring men if she wasn't as beautiful. A commenter mentioned last week that Lucia feels validated when her physical charms succeed in getting men to slobber over her. But is that really all she has to work in her favor? Her refusal to answer Leonchi's "awful" question shows that that's all she believes she has going for her, at least at the moment. She essentially admitted to using men- not that it matters to admit it to the chauffeur, but she's also revealing her sleazy side to Leon.
In the car, on their way to the event, Leonchi asked Lucia if she was an orphan. He really didn't even have her background story down? In the first episode he remarked to Johnny that he wanted to know what Lucia was hiding. Apparently he didn't have enough curiosity to get to know her better? That man was seriously bamboozled.
I'm not sure the dress was exactly the right shape for Lucia. It made her shoulders look too wide for her hips, and her arms looked awkward like a marionette's as she paraded around that hall. She did look less older than usual today, though that's probably attributed to all the make up wore. In an overall observation of this actress, she's not aging as well as other actresses around her age.
I like how each transmigrated soul is being given a chance to rectify past errors. Something most of us wish we could do. But I also sympathize a bit with Valentina's seemingly uncaring boyfriend. He's young but he tried several times to lighten her mood and get her to do something fun rather than mope and drink. Alcoholics can try one's patience to the max as can depressed people. Basically only a parent would keep reaching out time after time. So I'm giving him a pass. And besides, it was a nice setup for Leonchi performing a rescue and our two beautiful leads coming even closer together.
Time to get some romance going as an antidote to the gruesome narco tortures and murders. Gah!
Thanks Rgv Chick. Much appreciated.
Luci-ho needs to learn more about boundaries. She really let that slip when she asked "Jacobo"'s opinion about the dresses. That was highly inappropriate and it's all going downhill from there.
The whole thing about Alacran's boss eating his pet rabbit was disgusting but I suspect it's an omen for Alacran's eventual Karmageddon. So I need to start that document now. BTW, does anyone know how many episodes are planned for this?
Valentina should kick Lucho to the curb. Drunk driving is dangerous and he's still all about himself.
I don't like that dress. The color is ugly and the criss-crossed cords in the front negate the opportunity for a serious necklace. I also consider it inappropriate this early in widowhood for her. But that is the point, isn't it?
Ws Gaston's murder a wake-up call for Eva? If so, I think it's too late.
The call of the blood is a common theme in Tns and is here as well, as we saw when LeonChi saved Val and she felt the connection as well as Silvana.
Anonymous: Good points about the BatCave. Like a sort of hobby but he never really had reason, (he thought), to use it. Makes sense. Agree about LuciHo. She admittedly does have great, muscular, dancer’s legs, and skillfully installed twins, but I have never been taken with her looks.
Are all you people actually named anonymous?
Johny is just a slimeball, pure and simple, but that ‘Ambassholeador’ with the grey hair is not far behind him. I couldn’t help but notice the other women there, some of them were dressed sexy too, but Luci was the only one wearing Ho Ho Ho fire engine red.
I wondered when the negatives in some of these transplants would start surfacing, and got my answer last night as beltCHINO and Sammy hailed a cab. It is too bad he is three feet taller than every-body. Even the Chamois guy looks like a kid facing him.
Disgusting, but the wascally wabbit was a nice touch, as Alacran seems to care more about it than , say, Eva, for instance. And I want to call her a stoooopid girl, but she is not. Misguided, maybe? It is hard to feel pity when the chickens start coming home to roost. Did you see the pan? That must have been a big rabbit. Tastes ‘just like chicken’.
When he pulled Val out of the pool LuciHo was agreeing wholeheartedly with Val and Silvana that Leon was a great, wonderful man, etc. etc.
But still, it is because of Johny and her, maybe indirectly, that he is in this predicament. And he knows she married him under false pretenses all the while in a relationship with Johny Slimeball.
Did I see a preview or was it in the show,where Beltrino flashbacks to Lupita and Juli? I don't think I am DREAMING about this show.
I was home last night , so I watched this show for the first time. I fell asleep and missed the ending, but I am always fascinated by tiny Angie . The storyline is interesting and reminds me of a telenovela that I saw years ago . Ten o'clock is too late for my 530 A.M. rising to babysit and sometimes I sleep at my daughter's ,but I might record it.
Well, off to the lawyer , and then to the grocery store to buy the ingredients for my family's favorite corn pudding.
Happy Thanksgiving , everybody. Diana, my mother's family lived in New Jersey, and I spent many happy times there...Summit, Westfield, Fanwood, Springfield, Martinsville.
Kirby, the kiss and anything else that happens doesn't bother me as much when I keep telling my self, "They're only acting" and "She is quite happy with Mr. Rulli boy." :-)
Anon 12:01, I didn't notice the dress as much as the hair. Luciho had it much better styled when she went to Camilo's to rehire Jacobo.
JudyB, "I like how each transmigrated soul is being given a chance to rectify past errors." Me too! but don't you get he feeling that Beltrino is more preoccupied with getting his body back than anything else? That we have seen, he has only thought of Lupi and Juli once. Kirby, I don't recall seeing that flashback he had, but I could have missed it when I was typing.
UA, ITA, Val needs to kick that sorry excuse of a boyfriend to the curb.
Girl with the tattoo is intriguing. I wonder how long it's been since her transmigration. And what kind of woman was she to have burned down her own house?
More laters...errands to run and preps for tomorrow await me.
Susanlynn, it was truly a joy to "see" you here. My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you and your family
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!! May your food be bountiful and may there be much peace and joy in your homes.
Sebastian is currently in Japan shooting alongside some of the cast members including Zuleyka Rivera.
It's Robin Hood kinda story and people are really looking forward to it
What do you think?
Anon 12:01, "not that it matters to admit it to the chauffeur" - That is the thing. With Jacobo she has nothing to gain. He cannot give her money, position, power. With him it is fun, not work.
"Renata tells her that Guil is very down-to-earth...he is very good person and admirable" - don't know where she got this, not from what I have seen.
" keep telling my self, "They're only acting" ....yeah, that's what all those girls were telling themselves in the first few shows where she and Rulli were together too. :-(
Kirby, I think Leonchi will have a difficult time sorting his feelings out about Luciho. On the one hand, he sees that she seems to genuinely care about Val and Guil, but on the other hand, she is just a plain ol' horny little w(B)itch who goes after whomever she so desires. I think a male's opinion would best address your question because I have no idea what Leonchi will do about his feeings for Luciho.
Lucio, I really don't see how Renata has come to have that opinion of Guil. A woman in love "sees" what she wants to see and Renata seems to only see the very few things Guil has done that would be considered good...like worrying about Mr. Castillo and leaving money for the family.
Tayo, I haven't heard anything about that TN you are talking about; so I can't comment on it, but thanks for stopping by.
Susanlynn--Ditto, so nice to "see" you back here in this cozy little community. We missed you, understandably. Hub will certainly be missed by us, too.
Lucie--I think Renata was trying to impress her roommate. She's smitten, no matter what he's done. Of course, as he falls apart, she'll be there to pick up the pieces.
Is there a chance that Val WILL dump the boyfriend and turn her eyes on Leonchi? Then we would have two gals fighting over the same guy--that is also as old as the hills.
You, "He then opens a bookcase, types in a code and goes downstairs to a "batcave" like in Bela and starts looking at all his security cameras. He sees his big black dog barking at something, but there is nothing there." So, he DID use it from time to time "for security purposes," not to spy on his wife and kids.
(I'm backtracking episodes to see if I can find where Mateo talks to some guy about being involved with narcos. Maybe it was my imagination and he was talking to the difunto Gaston about a story on them. Anyway, it's fun--as if I didn't have lots to do.
...and I occasionally do some backtracking too; yes, it is fun...and a good way to avoid chores, especially on cold, drizzly days like today :-)
You remember more of this stuff than the writers. :-)
"I think a male's opinion would best address your question because I have no idea what Leonchi will do about his feeings for Luciho."
RGV OK I just looked and I qualify. Woof. Since men can have great sex with a woman they do not care for, and for that matter even with someone who they do not like, I say a little playful hopping will not sway his resolve to get even with her and Johny. I mean, he lucked out on the replacement body and all, but he lost his empire, and those two DID kill him. That would piss anybody off. So even though some fun with her driver may mean nothing to LuciHo, it should mean even less to LeonChi.
Now where was I? Oh yeah, has anyone noticed that Leonchi blinks a lot. Does the actor just have sensitive eyes? I mean, he really blinks A LOT.
UA I really didn't see anything wrong with the dress (other than inappropriate for a widow). If I were a guy, I REALLY wouldn't see anything wrong with it. And Leonchi knows where the zipper is. He's already worked it once.
Susanlynn, so glad that you checked in. Hope you have recording abilities or can find this show on the internet. Then read the recaps to find out what the heck they're saying. Because most of the actors mumble and go at warp speed. I smiled when you wrote that you're going out to get the ingredients for the corn pudding dish. That was your and Carlos' recipe. And when I make it, I always think of you two. And your dear Hub and the lovely Linda. May the blessings flow tomorrow in spite of your grief and loss. I know that you are thankful for your daughters and those beautiful grandchildren. The little ones keep us going when our world is upended and we are tempted to fall apart.
And hey, everybody has a weak spot. Even the detestable Alacran loves little bunnies. Who knew?
But I know too that within you you have strength and grit, heart and hope. And it will keep you going.
I remember someone saying after a great loss, "I will walk again. But it will always be with a limp."
At this time in life, a lot of us are walking with a limp. But we are walking. You are too my friend.
SusanLynn, we are all praying for you and yours. It is nice to hear your smiling face again. :-)
So what will they do now? Will Chino kiss the girl who has the moth mark, then electricity will flow & their bodies will stop being possessed? I thought it was kind of corny to have the girl claim that she was reliving her burn-up every day; I don't think Chino relives his electric chair everyday, unless we are supposed to infer it.
The suitcase of money thing I saw also in La Lectora (book, telenovela, & movie). It could become a papel in its own right, moving from here to there like the Imp Bottle. Chino as the Profe seems slow to go back to USA to retrieve it.
I am not sure that Mexico has our hangup on pederasty in its ethical system or should I say heberasty; the utter horror expressed over the idea that a guy in his 30's would be interested romantically in a 15 or 16 year old girl & vice versa (newly discovered in American Hx I might add). Don't they make the girls romantically eligible at 15? At any rate, donno where they are going with this, as that school girl sure looks flechada with Chino in the professor's body. & you know that in a telenovela, no one is responsible for their ganas; they just get flechada & cain't hep theysefs.
As far as all the occult stuff, I am pretty much lost, so I just watch and go with it.
