El Dragón #6, 10/7/19: Guns, But No Roses
Labels: dragon
Listening to the theme song and watching the visuals gave me a “James Bond” feeling. I wonder if that was intentional.
Highlight: Miguel buying off all of Pig’s men.
There is always a “Tacho”, isn’t there ?
A little confused about Conejo - what did he do and why did Pig kill him? Thanks!
I didn't catch the reason but... Pig doesn't need a reason. He will do this arbitrarily to enforce that anything short pf full blind obedience will get you killed... by him.
In the restaurant scene with Jimena and her boss, she brought in a reporter to take pictures of her boss sexually harassing her. She also brought in his wife. Those were the people she pointed out. The other guy, the one of the nooky, is her boyfriend and they live together.
Last night, seeing the promo for “Cuna de lobos” (with Catalina Creel w/ her eye patch, the familiar soundtrack and howling wolf) has led me to ask this question: is there anyone interested in recapping “Cuna de lobos”? I sure am. Please let me know if YOU are. : ) It starts on 10/21 following “La usurpadora” and has only 25 episodes.
As for disloyal Conejo, I thought Tacho ratted him out to Pig as leading the group of men who had accepted Miguel's bribe. Pig then left and absconded to CDMX to seek out Mr. Pol to save his assets since he'd been cast out of El Salado. Mr. Pol wondered what he'd done to get kicked out of a crime syndicate but Pig didn't want to discuss it.
Viewerville must have all been on the same wavelength with their choice of theme song and imagery! I couldn't get James Bond flashbacks out of my head either! It is a great tribute to the genre if I do say so myself --AND I do.
Again, many thanks, Urban A!
Remember how Michael Corleone tried to make his family's mafia biz "legitimate" in "The Godfather" ? It ended up blowing up in his face as well.
Lucio, thank you for confirming what I thought I had seen. Jimena is one smart cookie and she's not letting anyone manipulate her...One for the ladies!! I just dread that she will probably turn antagonistic soon.
I can't stand that Tacho guy. I was hoping Pig would put a bullet in his head since he wasn't successful in killing Mig AND he lost all his oinkers. He is such a wimp; I laughed when he told the men to "Go Get 'Em!" as he went ot hide behind the truck. How the heck did he become Pig's right hand oinker?
It made me angry when Pig and his hogs crashed Lamberto's funeral. No honor among thieves, right?
Loved your comment: Comic relief: Rosario suggesting to Pelligrosso that he change his look. [Really?]--I do love your snark!
RGV Chick, I laughed when you said in your comment: "I laughed when he told the men to "Go Get 'Em!" as he went to hide behind the truck. How the heck did he become Pig's right hand oinker?" Now that is a really GOOD QUESTION! LOL!
Loved Jimena setting up the gray-haired guy who tried to push her around, by having his wife and a reporter/recorder to observe him. You go, girl! She and her young boyfriend seem happy together. Wondering if something bad will happen to the boyfriend, since she’s destined for a triangle with Mig and Adela (at least according to the ads). Right now, she's well matched with Mig on cunning.
I can see Rosario hosting a Mexican version of the style makeover show "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy."
I missed most of the title sequence. I’ll pay closer attention tonight.
So Mig hired away Pig’s men? Makes perfect sense that Pig’s men would leave him.
Someone please tell me what was the death scene confession..Did Lamberto really try to kill his son.?
Was he really bad? Please explain......confused.....and thnx to the recappers. I. for one, want to see a makeover on Oeligtos.....
The other tidbit of info I wanted to share (although late on this page) is that the group Hector joined is headed by Natalia’s father. Hector joined the group knowing who the man is and is hoping to get info about Carlos. Natalia is the young lady that died as a result of bring pushed by Carlos, the politician. Carlis called Pig for help in getting rid of the body.
