El Dragón #28, 11/6/19: A Happy Pill in Everyone’s Future
When Trejo and Peligro, posing as the lab guards aren’t quick enough at the gate, Hans gets out to harangue them. He wants to know who they are. Trejo explains he’s subbing for the regular guard. Hans wants to know his name—Trejo answers Ricardo Aceituna (Rick Olive). Hansie demands this imbecile with the funny name open up the damned gates. By this time Trejo can’t delay any longer and complies. Our intruders are still inside, Mig trying to hurry up Flaco since there are only two minutes left. Done and done. They exit the restricted lab as we watch the timer go down from 5-4-3-2-1 seconds, to .... whew, they make it past the laser just as it turns from green to red.

There are no dogs, rabbits, or squirrels in this show, and NONE of the humans have the minimum IQ to be rooted for, and I'm not a dam chemist either. Well, maybe Flaco, he is not hateful yet. From the laptop, I thought Hans was a beekeeper for a while there. But I remember the SuperBee as a muscle car from Dodge years ago.
So Jimena breathlessly gushes to Mig's chest that she just KNEW he would rescue her? Um ... How did you know that Jimena? I have never heard of ESP being a side effect of perpetually in heat.
Fun episode, though I have NO CLUE what the bad guys are up to. They all seem to be eternally on the cusp of a bromance somewhere or the other.
I'd like to learn that Samurai lullaby choke hold. You almost break someones neck and they wake up 6 hours later thinking they all somehow simply dozed off together. The first thing I would do is write a detailed step by step and give it to Dr. Lerner over at First Step where Chisca is rewriting the 'difficult patient' section of the rehab 101 handbook. Gotta give credit where credit is due, ole Chisca can run like the wind. Of course there was not much between her AND the wind, if you have ever worn one of those gowns you understand. But barefoot too?
So surprise surprise! The background check on Victor came back smelling like roses. Now how about that? For someone who lives and breathes fake documentation, stock price manipulation and all else clandestine, Mig takes it at face value? OK so what mind numbing concoction was he exposed to in that air duct? That report would not have fooled Bugs Bunny.
Am I watching National Geographic? Within 48 hours of having successfully mated, the female (Adela) turns on her former unsuccessful mating hopeful and begins to erase all phermones he left behind during the unsuccessful pairing. Oh wait, it's a TN. Nevermind.
And hector: Oops, you lost your job and have been blacklisted for life because of that article I talked you into publishing? And now will be working on a garbage truck rather than writing for the newspaper? Wow, what are friends for, ya know.
Watching them beat the clock in the lab was a nail biter though. I was actually surprised Jimena was not ready to take one for the team, as Miggy seems to have her under some kind of NXIVM mind control anyway. And there is no love or commitment between those two, so it is just all in a day's work. Chisca would have in a heartbeat for a bag of crack.
Anita: Good Job on the recap.
The "great escape" would have been good if had at least one ounce of credibility mixed in. So Mig needed the spray to see the beams when they entered, but when they barely made it out, VOILA!! there they were...nice a bright! (BLECH)
Kirby, "So surprise surprise! The background check on Victor came back smelling like roses. Now how about that? For someone who lives and breathes fake documentation, stock price manipulation and all else clandestine, Mig takes it at face value? OK so what mind numbing concoction was he exposed to in that air duct? That report would not have fooled Bugs Bunny." LOL you always have a way of reading my thoughts and writing them down in such a wonderfully humorous manner. Thank you!
Can't-Keep-My-Hands -to-Myself is creepy. I like that song but not Hansie. Blecchhh. Next time Jimie may not be so lucky and not get rescued by 008Mig.
Victor is still a mystery . Who sent him into Adela's life? Is he using her to investigate Mig? Is he associated with Duarte?
Chisca is......well...chisca .
Chilly and rainy and gray here. Meh.
Kirby: A beekeeper? Where did you get that from? Do they have to check on their hives constantly, even during a dinner when they are plotting to have some after-dinner dessert off site?
OTOH, your rundown on how Vic's background can be so easily altered was perfectly reasonable. If it hadn't been 3:00 am EST already, I might have figured it out. Thank you for taking it on.
PATIO: Remember this factoid for future reference. We need to be prepared when it turns out Mr. Perfect is Mr. Plant after all. The letdown will be easier.
I couldn't believe what a fast runner Chisca is. We've only ever seen her doing her treadmill steps occasionally. I bet she runs out of steam soon. The general public (which is not around--not a soul) will give this "crazy" person a wide berth. The four chasers will catch up. Where else could she go? It was Mig & Dora's idea to put her in rehab (this is rehab?). If she makes a clean getaway, will she end up on Jimena's doorstep--her TRUE friend, or at Adriana's?
"Here hold my doobie, and don't smoke it, I have to go put Junior down."
And Chisca: "Oh Ms. Garza you look so tense, let me give you a neck rub, you are all knotted up." Pffftt.!
"Good Morniiiing Chisca, How did you sleep?"
It would take "Not tonight, I have a headache" out of our vocabulary.
The Bees: On the laptop screen when Flac was stealing the info, and again when Jimena was talking to the chemist there was a screen full of perfectly fitting hexagonal shapes like homeycomb.
Not to be too rough on our show, but they are just asking for it. Like RGV noticed, Mig using canned smoke to see the lasers, but as they exited, there apparently was no time for that, so the lasers were quite visible. Over the years here on Caray we have had loads of fun with dismal shows which are easy to pick on.
The Sammurai Lullabye Choke can be a far better use of Hans time, money and talent than on the Pleasure Pill he's working on. All he needs to do is set up a gym (maybe in Mazatlán) and conduct classes. Then he could sell franchises. He shouldn't forget to trademark it.
Ok, I surrender, the honeycomb patterns could be easily mistaken for a beekeeper's obsession to keep track of his honey (it is quite valuable these days). I seem to remember those same patterns in my college chemistry textbook, but I might be wrong. It was a long time ago and haven't needed the diagram for sucrose molecules since.
You asked: "(see FC, TMBMOE, in MEPS).which shows are these? They didn't ring a bell immediately."
FC = Fernando Colunga
TMBMOE = The Most Beautiful Man on Earth--and I swear I didn't make that one up
MEPS = Manana es Para Siempre, the title of the telenovela he did with Silvia Navarro, although they were kept apart most of the run. In it he appears wrapped only in a towel, with certain jewels outlined nicely, talking on the phone to someone--but whe cares who.
Between the pills Jimena spit out and Chisca spit out, and Mig escaping and Chisca escaping, there was some nice editing.
Yay for Vic covering his tracks well. Sure, he's no damn good, but maybe he'll be formidable competition for Mig in the brains department. I'm wondering if Vic is connected somehow to Howard Toledo.
What a stupendous recap!!! What dedication you have!
Kirby beekeeper.....Really....That's just too good……...
Every novela has quite a few, if not loads of, >>FF moments, so I can keep Chisca on >>FF just about all the time. I'm just waiting for her demise—that I want to see.
Miguel used some brain power once. It appears he memorized the building layout to know where the HVAC ducts were. At least they have James Bond gadgets. And Flaco and his crew came through with flying colors.
Why the hell didn't Jimena throw the pills between the sofa cushions instead of on the floor???? Duhduhduhduh
When working, I crawled through my share of HVAC metal ducts and because the majority are fabricated out of thin sheet metal (except certain applications like hospitals and nuclear facilities), no one can crawl through them silently. Funny that Miguel could do so....
Surprise, surprise, I thought Miguel was going to ignore Zaragoza's request to investigate La Organización del Valle; but for once, he used his brain and not his family jewels which he uses almost nonstop.
It appeared that Miguel was actually having fun bonking Jimena, probably because he feels guilty about infringing on Adela's personal life.
Wow RGV I didn't even notice that about the light beams! That was a good pickup on your part. That was the only segment that had a little suspense.
Victor is bad bad bad. But I wonder who is paying him to infiltrate Miguel's company.
Miguel is caught red handed investigating Victor and Adela did not like this one bit! Why the heck did he leave it out open on his desk. He knows she can walk in at anytime, right? Sometimes he is not too bright that way. But I think Victor should be investigated a lot more. Maybe his name isn't even Victor at all, that's why Miguel didn't find anything on him. It's a phony identity. Maybe he is even Pig's son, you never know. (It was a guess, I have no idea, but sometimes these things turn out to be that way.)
Chisca looks like she can run in the Olympics, wow! I bet she is barefoot too, LOL...
I never asked my people to do anything I wouldn't do. Dirty Work, but somebody's got to do it.
I'm hearing Steely Dan Dirty Work.
You asked: "(see FC, TMBMOE, in MEPS).which shows are these? They didn't ring a bell immediately."
Thanks for the Intel. My trajectory for TN's only goes back to the early 2000's and though I know who Fernando Colunga is, I have never seen one with him in it. Have a hard time stomaching the time warp of the 90's. But I have watched anything good since then, I think. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
