El Dragón #49, 12/9/19: Escape
Mexico City: Tania called Jimena to tell her what happened. Jimena told her not to move or to talk to anyone else. She tried calling Miguel, but no result.

Well Chiscass aren't you the clever one. You are like if there is one granule of sugar on the counter and you haven't seen an ant in three years, now you have five thousand. Now be a good girl and sample it FOR Not Valid and Piero. You can just tell them when you come to if it was any good or not.
Why can I not stay interested in Aw Heck and The Claw(dia) ?
BTW Lizard writers, "This number is no longer in service." Indicates a bit more of a problem than an unanswered call?
Tania, you brainless twit, so you want to die? Keep on the way you are going and you will probably get your wish. Please put La Bambina somewhere safe first.
To negotiate with crazy people, you have to think like crazy people. Remember that if you ever run for office.
Paco hears Migster in the backgroound and La LocaStick tells him it her dogs?
Miggy couldn't get that piece of shit Dodge started?
A. No 'Guy' skills I suppose.
B. An F150 would have started.
Oops I thought Mig head butted StickChick, mybe not. It happened pretty fast.
Not that we really have any indication that she is in any real danger from Prick-ten. He simply wanted his formula back and now he knows Miggy has it, so Tania should be of no concern to him now, although there is always that "collateral damage".
It was fun watching Not Val and Piero discuss that the sample would not be available to copy, but simply for a trial run (ingestion) by Pierro. Is it Piero or pero?
Chisca to Not Val: "You want me to screw Ishiro?" Indignantly, but then mulling it over she seemed to come around to the idea a bit. Like, maybe the best of both worlds?
I also find it outrageous that Miguel would have only one prototype and now that the chemist is dead what happens if that prototype disappears?
Peligros being confounded by an infant was moderately amusing.
But as it is written and in the show it is confounding.
Messalina: Yeah, modern TNs have nothing on the Romans.
I thought of every scenario I thought possible to begin this show with Paco either saving Migalicious or getting killed, but NEVER did I come up with "Oh it's just the dogs!" ARGHH! Oh well, I guess they have to make Mig look good and have him save himself. I coulda sworn it was a headbutt too, Kirby, but what the heck, SickChick got knocked out, Mig released himself and stumbled out pretending to be drugged up (and not so well, IMO).
But of course, Mig needed to know that it was AdelaAdorable who was so concerned that she got in touch with Paco.
I was hoping for a whole episode without Chiscass, but there she was...and she just had to find the prototype. ARGHHH!
So did it finally sink in to Tanya that her mamma and hubby were killed because of her stupidity? She seemed to blame Jim and her cohorts.
Now..... would anyone else be up for a novela de epoch about Ancient Rome? Have the Italians done that yet?
Tania has been dealt a terrible blow, but I wasn't ticked at Jimena for telling her she shouldn't have phoned her mom. What part of you and your husband are in "GRAVE DANGER FROM THE MAN WHO KEPT YOU CAPTIVE AND ENSLAVED YOUR HUSBAND!" did she not understand?
Ishiro, there's no galan in this tale, so it's up to you. (Mig going the straight and narrow because he got chained to a bed by a loca doesn't count.) Do not let Chisca hoodwink you.
Kirby: Yeah, Mig has no “guy skills” in the mechanical department. But he probably was way to woozy and out of it to drive anyway.
Urban: I wonder if what Chisca found is not the prototype, but designed to fool someone. Ishiro probably has it in his room. We never saw exactly where Mig hid the stuff.
Poor Tania. She is going to feel so much guilt for the rest of her life. Of course Hans had found her mother anyway and would have killed her. But at least it would have only been her mother killed and not her husband too. Hans is evil enough for murdering Tania’s mom.
I enjoyed seeing Mig get out of his predicament and handcuff La Loca to the bed. But good grief, is Paco that easily fooled and how did he really think that was a dog?
Not Val will have a Helluva time explaining 'Talcum Powser and food coloring' to his impatient cohort Piero.
Paco: Cynthia what we will believe a woman tells us is inversely proportional to how much fabric she is wearing.
So much to digest, visually and verbally. Urban, thanks for your right down the line informational recap. It certainly set the scene(ry). Dogs, my foot. Then, to have Kirby come in to embellish was masterful. Thanks to both of you.
Ok, so, a knee to the groin with sheets and clothing probably wouldn't have knocked Maria out, especially if you don't have fully flexible knees at the time. A crack on the head would have. Too bad they didn't make that clear. Maybe a cracking noise? I thought he had bitten her in a variation of the Vulcan Mind Meld that you have to do when your hands can't.
The Dodge would have started if Mig had found the key. He spent enough time rummaging around inside the cab. He probably didn't want to go back in the house to look for it--too many bad memories. But--he COULD have made a phone call to his pal to come pick him up. Too much rethinking going on. It's like recipes. You get one that sounds great and spend time modifying it in your head before trying it.
To me Chisca is not in the same league with Messalina. Messaline ate up anyone she set her eyes on. Chisca gives in to trite phrases like 'Sorry,' 'I love you' and a couple of kisses too easily in return for a snort.
I wonder if the end of all this intrigue with the Happy Pill will be that the sample and the formula are filed away like the Ark of the Covenant and civilization will be spared the Stepford Men and Women and go on killing each other as they've done for millennia.
(Note to Urban--The British did ancient Rome: I Claudius. It's worth watching and rewatching.)
Well, I guess Mig said yes to the wrong girl this time. Will the experience change his he ho behavior? once bitten...or handcuffed...twice shy ??? Live and learn ? The whole he ho storyline is ho hum to me. I prefer storylines that depict true love and devotion. This show continues to be dark and depressing.
ishiro is stoic and may not be as easy to seduce as Val and Chis think .
Chisca may not be in Messalina's league but I am reasonably sue she'd like to try.
I am awaiting tonight's episode with baited breath.
She will not get to first base, she won't even come up in the batting order.
"Aw come on Ishiy, can't I just kiss........ and ......?"
"Ms. Garza I will restrain you if I must. Your Brother has asked me to advise him of your behavior."
"No"
"But..Hl;GIO*(*BKHUKGJ<Lkjlgwras?"
"No"
"ATklihUUUIuiujguyrl;klGH&**(%%$"
"NO."
It is not like Chiscass would be asking to be deflowered, ya know. Decades past that.
My money is on Ishiro. He is our only Hero candidate here, right Susie?
Now that our hero Miguel is free, I have a few critical comments on his captivity. For most of it he was more like Inspector
Cleauseau than Sherlock (or James Bond). As soon as he awoke chained to the bed, he had to realize that La Loca spiked his wine. So what does he do? He eats the soup (with the same result!); then later he drinks the milk! IT’s lucky his Samuri (?) training kicked in before she served the main meal. Will he tell his team back in Mexico how it all went down? I suspect not.
Stupid question, but can anyone understand why Chisca's role is so important to this story???? Kenia, Epi, Dora, more Hector, anyone would have been better. I didn't even know the actress was that well-known to merit such a substantial role. I also hated her dopey role in Corona de Lágrimas which was probably one of my top two least favorite novelas.
Urban, I'm up for any other kind of novela — Roman or not — other than the crap Televisa and Univisión have given us lately. It's depressing to know that Carla Estrada is rejoining the novela world just to produce a refrito of LPDA in a short 30+/- episode novela. Moreover, with much sadness I can say that, for the first time in years, I don't see anything on Univisión's upcoming schedule that appears in the least bit worth watching.
Please to the novela Gods: let Ishiro and Miguel catch Chisca with the prototype and give it to her REAL good, then have her flip on NoVal, and thus end this stupid storyline. I know, too much to ask for.
I saw a backhoe in the background when Miguel tried starting the truck, and thought surely the writers would have our hunk getting on it and riding down the highway after ripping off his dirty shirt.
Cynthia:
What a great thought, Miguel hid a dud prototype to throw someone off and then hid the real one in another place, thinking that once the thief found the dummy one, that would be it. Oh, please let's hope he was that smart, but based on his past history, I'm not hopeful.
I think Ishiro said more last night telling Chisca he was going to pick up Miguel at the airport than his has in all the previous episodes.
Chisca will live to see the end because she IS dumb and SO annoying. I prefer Jorge, please let's see more of him.
TOTALLY O/T:
Urban:
OMG, I was a SUV, L&O, CSI fan for decades, I think I saw L&O episodes at least 3 times!! The two that linger in my memory are (1) the boy who murdered his friend and pleaded not guilty because he had Jacob's syndrome (XYY chromosomes) and (2) the boy who murdered someone and pleaded not guilty because he was on Prozac.
Sorry totally off topic…..
I shut up now. Until later...
Ishiro should be wearing the real sample or have swallowed it and have a string in his mouth.
We shall see shortly if Chiscass found a decoy. Kerep our fingers crossed. Hey what if in a withdrawl snit she just decides to use it herself and actually it is just a really strong laxative.?
