Sunday 8/25/24: Karmageddon, with a side of Guacamole: Vivir de Amor
Karmageddon will shortly arrive
to deal itself to the evil ones we have discussed and analyzed to a
degree that Freud and Jung would applaud. The usual questions apply:
If I have forgotten anything in
the following, please advise so I can revise.
Rebecca Sanchez Trejo / Gala
Montes
What hasn't she done? This
precocious psychopath was guilty of cruelty to her defenseless kid
sister when they were children, which she concealed very well from
their parents. She developed a serious case of entitlement upon
discovery of her birth name and showed no gratitude to the couple who
rescued her in the woods from the original kidnappers. Since
arriving in the vicinity of her birth family she had wormed her way
into it prior to revealing her identity and went on a mission to
destroy them. She set up a situation where she appeared to save
Elena's life to gain her favor. She has told more lies than we can
count, including the one to steal Angeli's husband who was smart
enough to not boink her. She accused Angeli of attempted murder
when she actually threw herself down the stairs. She has since been guilty of embezzlement and other financial frauds. Also
three murders and a kidnapping. Ongoing gaslighting of her mother,
coercing her brother to backslide into gambling, potentially driving
her family into bankruptcy, and emotional torture of her sister,
including threats against her future baby, another attempt -- twofold -- at preventing her marriage to Jose Emilio. Arson that almost
destroyed the company. As of the latest episode she is still faking
amnesia, which has yet to be unmasked.

Friday 5/10/24: Karmageddon for Sinners: Tu Vida es Mi Vida
It's that time again!
Karmageddon arrives to deal itself to the evil ones we have discussed
and analyzed to a degree that Freud and Jung would applaud. Evil is
escalating every day as all the Deadly Sins (Pride, Greed, Wrath,
Envy, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth) are committed. The usual questions
apply:
If I have forgotten anything in
the following, please advise so I can revise. This should include
all data through episode 80.

Karmageddon in Mexico City: Mi Fortuna es Amarte
It's
that time again! We need to talk about who gets what's coming to him
(or her) for all their evil deeds. Most of us here are experienced
viewers so we know that what we think is right is not always what the
writers will have done. So.... here we ask the two questions:
Keep
in mind that all of these are sexist and classist. All info is through Episode 79.
Veronica
Alanis Gomez / Denia Agalianou
Guilty
of at least one murder (Tania, sister of Mario), several counts of
embezzlement, adultery, and probably various other sexually
deviant behavior we have not been privy to. Guilty of colluding with
Adrian and Pedro for embezzlement, Olga for potential crimes against
Natalia, – including murder – and Elias against his own son.
Paid Olga for information. Guilty of double-crossing Adrian and
thinking she is all that and a pound of Beluga caviar.
We
still don't know what the connexion is between blood and her yellow
roses, but let's hope that gets confirmed. She may be the
reincarnation of a past serial killer.

WEEKEND DISCUSSION 4/25/20: Karmageddon for the guilty in Me Declaro Culpable
It's
that time again, amigos!. There is a lot of guilt to go around in
this cuna de locos.* Too much to resolve in the last dozen
episodes. Not to mention that anything with a title like this will
have lots of consequences for its denizens' actions.
As
usual, this will be a two-part question:
What
fate do you think they deserve?
What
do you think the writers will do to these perverse creatures?

Weekend Discussion 11/23/19: Karmageddon for the Reptiles of Cuna de Lobos
I
have concluded that the better title for this tale would have been
Abismo de Serpientes. It would seem to me that anyone
entering the territory of Catalina Creel is as much in danger as if
he were entering Ilha da Queimada Grande. Wolves are monogamous,
social, and warm-blooded. They love their young. They are the
ancestors of and reproductively compatible with our beloved dogs.
Snakes are cold-blooded and do not care for their young. They are
also more prone to cannibalism.
We
are so close to the end due to the endless twists and turns of this
story and its unpredictability. Therefore, we have many points to
consider. As usual, we ponder the fates of this Royal Family of
Evil:
For
those unaware, Mexico does not have capital punishment. Do your best
to second-guess or outdo what is to come. – D.D.

Weekend Discussion 2/16/18: Karmageddon for the Tempted – Caer en Tentacion
Karmageddon
for the Tempted – Caer en Tentacion
The
evil ones of this tale are long overdue for punishment, folks. Let's
talk about what the writers are likely to do and what we'd do
ourselves. This is all up to Episode 93:
Andres
Becker / Arath de la Torre – The Beast
Guilty
of promoting prostitution involving borderline jailbait girls,
possible paedophilia, blackmail, embezzlement, sexual harassment,
attempted rape, sexual assault of helpless victim (Cinthia),
conspiracy to frame innocent parties, menacing, corporate theft,
money laundering, getting Laura to go on the air to lie about what
really happened (and boinking her in the process).

Weekend Discussion 9/29/17: Toxic Sisters
I've often said that series villains
are far more effective when they are related to the protagonists and
between members of the same generation there is nothing like sisters
of similar age, whether the issue is over the hero or an inheritance.
If women had been on the stage in Shakespeare's time he would have
created toxic ones too, because the emotional stakes would have still
been higher than those he was able to express between brothers.
Here
is a list of evil sisters for your consideration:

Weekend Discussion: Karmegeddon in the Capital: La Candidata
Throughout
history there have been many career politicians since Roman times.
Some become such because of a need to serve their people and others
only for the power it gives them. They often visit the same sick
need for power over the people in their private lives.
Those
who abuse the trust of the people deserve the worst punishment
available. The only problem is that sometimes it is difficult to
determine what that is: Should sociopaths like these be executed,
locked away, or is there a worse fate in our time? I ask you all:
What
do you think the writers have done to them and –
If
you could decide their fate, what would it be?
-- D.D.

Weekend Discussion, 5/19/17: Toxic Mothers, Round III
Now
that we're past Mother's Day, it's time to review some of those that
are undeserving of such honor. Do any of them come up to the level
of Catalina Creel of Cuna de Lobos? Let's talk about
this:

Karmageddon for the Rich and Shameless: Pasión y Poder 4/8/16
I
have always loved the concept of poetic justice, of people getting
the fate they deserve. This does not often happen among those who
can buy their way out of it or get someone else to do it for them.
Many – if not most – who can do this have no conscience about it.
Few feel any regret for their actions or remorse for the
consequences; most that do are too late to do more than pick up the
pieces.
Human
crime is not limited to things subject to legal judgment. Many
crimes are social, familial, or both. Most of these are behind
closed doors and at least half will hurt the perpetrator as much as
the victim. All they can do at that point is close ranks to save
face if they can manage to avoid the paparrazzi who – for this crowd – is Dante's Inferno. – D.D.

Karmageddon Discussion: Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse 11/26/16
Let's make pasta primavera and open some vino for this one because we deserve it.
It's
time to figure out what tricks the Televisa writers will pull on us
this time. After what happened with Mi Corazón es Tuyo I am
seriously concerned that most of the nasties of this series will get off
without any relevant punishment, but we can at least vent here about
what should happen to them. Let's start with the queen of the lot:

Weekend Discussion: Yo No Creo en los Hombres -- Karmageddon!
Karmageddon
comes to DF this time for the devil's own in Yo No Creo en los
Hombres. We've had a very interesting collection of villains
and top performances by the actors. Due to the nature and pace of
this story, I've delayed this until today and this is updated
through last evening's episode. As usual, we ask two questions:

Weekend Discussion: Karmageddon Comes to Santa Lucia (La Sombra del Pasado)
We're
coming close to the end and the crap is flying so here is the
all-important discussion of the Karmageddons awaiting the evil ones
in our story. As usual we will ask the following two questions:
What
do you think the writers will do to them?
What
do you think they really deserve?
Contrary to my usual practice I am posting my thoughts in this article because of my current computer issues.

Weekend Discussion: Karmageddon Awaits on Mi Corazón es Tuyo
OK,
amigos, the finale will air on 3/27 and we have work to do! Our
moral and mortal minds need to decide what is going to happen to the
villains of our modern fairy tale. Since this is not standard
(melo)drama, part of this will be a challenge. Rap sheets are updated as of Capitulo 161.
As usual, we have two
decisions to make:
What
would you want to see happen to these villains and
What
do you think the writers will do to them?

Weekend Discussion: Karmageddon in Aguazul (Lo Que la Vida Me Robo)
It's
that time again, amigos! Although this is a little early, the number
of bad guys in this tale is such that we already see the villains
turning on each other. Let's cut loose now and dish about what
should happen to the evil ones in our story. As previously, we
should think about it both ways:
What
do you think the writers will do to them?
What
do you think should happen to them?
Let's start with their queen and work our way down:

Weekend Discussion: Karmageddon Thoughts
Let's start with a
theme song for this (which in another sense is Pedro Medina's anthem).
We've had discussions in the past over this essential Televisa element. They always include elements of satisfaction or dissatisfaction we have with the writers' decisions. If the original audience in Mexico (Televisa) or the US (Telemundo) isn't satisfied with the villains' final ends I'm sure they're vocal about it.

Weekend Discussion: Karmageddon Awaits!
Karmageddon
in Por Siempre Mi Amor
OK, with
17 or 18 hours to go on this story, it's time for this all-important
discussion. The villains in this tale are some of the vilest
excuses for human beings we've seen to date, so this will be lively.
As in a
previous discussion on another series, this will be a two-part
question:
What
fate do you think they deserve?
What
do you think the writers will do to these perverse creatures?

Weekend Discussion: Mentir Para Vivir Karmageddon Awaits!
Not
all of these are left, but the bad guys we have certainly have it
coming. While lying is normally included on the list of crimes
against Divine Law, it will not be mentioned here because everyone is
guilty of that.
Muchas
gracias to Adriana Noel and 5Ft Latina for filling in what I didn't
catch. Now, what do you think should happen to these evil-doers and what do you think the writers will do?

Weekend Discussion: Controlling Mothers, Part II
Maternal Monsters, Part II
There are way more of these than
perhaps any other female villain because they can play so many cards
in the game of control. Guilt, money, religion; even sex isn't
exempt from their repertoire in their attempts to control their teen or
adult children. I was hoping to compile another Dirty Dozen, but
some of these are so spectacularly evil it just couldn't wait.
Please provide any more details if you can.

Weekend Discussion: Karmageddon for La Tempestad and PEAM denizens
I have basically ignored these two series for the most part because I'm not into comedies and because William Levy does nothing for me. However, since both of these are ending very shortly, the Karmageddons of their villains should be a hot topic that deserves its own discussion.
