About SPAM and DISAPPEARING COMMENTS and SORRY, SUSANLYNN!
Dear friends,
You may or may not know that our blog is attacked daily by frenzied legions of spammers. These days most of them are witch doctors, but in the old days they were peddling limousine services and air conditioners. I have turned on comment moderation after a week, and am now deleting most of the spam by hand...
... but I just discovered that blogger has, in its own attempt to ease my burden, been classifying zillions of spam comments - but also plenty of legitimate ones - as spam...
... for instance, I just found a folder on the site called SPAM and in it were about 1,500 comments dating back a couple of years and a lot of them were from (sob) Susanlynn who is one of our longest-contributing and devoted fans...
... so, if you find that your legitimate comments are not appearing (ie you are not a witch doctor or an air conditioning salesman) write to me at caray@mappamundi.com and let me know.

Hasta el Fin del Mundo #191 20150515 Finalmente el Fin del Telenovela
Thanks to all of the recappers....
Xlint
PaquitadelBarrio
and yes, Jarifa who filled in for me in the comments often! I really appreciate it.
Also thanks to all the commenters who came back everyday!
I also rely on CC and they sucked last night, so if I missed anything or didn't quite get it right...I apologize.
- Chava is freaking out about finding Sophia. He is harassing poor Fuzzy Tavarez.
- Meanwhile, Armando is trying to convince Regina that Peralta is not the fine upstanding citizen that he portrays. Regina's getting a fine upstanding paycheck from him, so she's going to be a hard sell.
- Speaking of the devil, Peralta is out on his yaght enjoying libations with Mike Stone (the American, who speaks english with a thick Mexican accent)...OK who in the hell is Mike Stone? I don't remember him or wasn't paying attention. Anyways, Peralta and Ricardo...(who in the hell is Ricardo?) accuse Mike Stone of double crossing them about the buying product from other dealers. Mike throws in an English word every once in a while and swears that he did not double cross them. Anyways, Ricardo shoots Mike in the chest and he falls FACE DOWN into the middle of the ocean. Theoretically, one would believe that if the bullet wound doesn't kill him, he will drown. More about that later.

5/14 #190 Hasta el Fin del Mundo - Lucas gets a new luke, whatever
This is my last recap
for this TN. It’s been a hoot! I’ve actually enjoyed this one. Even though the storylines often didn’t make
sense, it sure gave us a lot to talk about.
Depa de Isadora
Gerry has delivered the Injection of Doom. He and Aldo.2 leave Isadora out cold on the
floor. Oliver arrives, suitcases and
all. He finds his mother dead to the
world. He receives a call from Daddy
Dearest and cries as he tells him he’s afraid mums is dead! Gerry tells him to remain calm and he’ll be
right over.
Later, Gerry has arrived with the good Doctor Santivañes. Oliver is frantic and doesn’t understand why
Morgana wasn’t there but Gerry explains it was her day off. Doctor reports Isadora is dead from a heart
attack. Oliver can’t understand. She’d never complained of a heart
problem. Doc explains this happens
suddenly sometimes, with no warning.
Gerry thanks the doc, asking him to complete his duties and Gerry will
take care of the rest. Ollie weeps over his
mother.
Depa de Irais
Matias cooks for his chocolatito bonbón. They make plans for
a family with children and dogs…..zzzzz

5/13 #189 Hasta el Fin del Mundo - two days to go and we have new characters! A half-clad native and a half-mad felon.
Patricio, Alone with
his thoughts
“That old ‘Zorro’ did
all this on purpose to bury me, and I fell in his trap like an imbecile. And now I’m gonna have to pay for his
crimes. ¡Maldita sea!”
Casa de Armando
Nandito prays while we hear “Ave Maria” in the background as
Armando looks on. Oh brother.
Penthouse del Perdición
– Dulliver grows a pair
Geronimo wonders when Oliver left the office. Oliver explains he went to see Dani and then
stopped by to see his mother. He’s happy
to say she’s no longer drinking and is in a support group. Geronimo immediately pounces – She’s not to
be trusted. Isadora’s will power is very
weak. Well, Oliver has a lot of
confidence in her. He sensed a great
determination on her part never to drink again.
Geronimo scoffs and admires his optimisim. But this is not Isa’s first attempt at
sobriety. She’ll soon break her resolve
and return to drinking with more gusto!
Oliver finally stands up to his dad, “From this point on, when you speak
of my mother, you do it in a more respectful tone. Even though you are separated, I hoped we
could be a family. Nothing would make me
happier than to see my parents live in harmony.” But Dad thinks that’s impossible. He’ll always see Isadora as a sick person, a
parasite who lives only on what he gives her.
She doesn’t inspire any respect in him.

5/12 #188 Tue Hasta el Fin del Mundo – Alexa’s plane has vanished! ¡Que te lo digo yo!
Lucas thanks everyone for his success -- mom, Abue, and Dani – yay. Lucas is taking everyone out to dinner to
celebrate. Lucas dreams of everything
he’ll buy when he’s successful, a house for mom and abue and a recording studio
for Dani. She tells him she wants
nothing but to be with him. How do you say Pre-Nup in Spanish?
Casa de Chava
Armando and Nandito are visiting with Marisol. Armando tells her about his plans to go to
French Guiana in search of Alexa along with Paco and Greta. Marisol offers to babysit while he’s
gone. Just then, a news bulletin on the tele announces the jet carrying Alexa Ripoll has been reported missing and has
presumably fallen into the sea. They’re all in shock and Armando assures Nandito
Alexa has to be ok.
Armando gets on the phone to the airport as Sofia and Chava
walk in. Nandito is crying and breaks
the news to them. Sofia doesn’t want to
believe it and breaks down.
Peralta the Conductor
Peralta air conducts Wagner and we can assume he’s
celebrating Alexa’s demise. Dulliver
walks in with a sad sack look on his face and tells dad he wishes he could be
as optimistic as dear old dad. Geronimo
insists Ollie has lots to be optimistic about – he’s a champ! Not to mention the heir! Ollie tells him money doesn’t buy everything
in life. He assures dad he’s very
grateful for the opportunity he’s been given and is working hard to make him
proud. However, he just can’t get over
Dani. He can’t stop thinking of her and
wanting her in his arms again. He
doesn’t know what to do or how to control his feelings. Well, this is his lucky day. Gerry says the time has come to recover
Dani! huh? Geronimo explains he’s heard via his personal
pilot that Alexa’s jet has vanished, and you know what happens when a jet
disappears over water……uh, you get wet?
Ollie wants to rush off to see Dani but Gerry tells him to
hold off until Dani finds out through the news.
She may not have heard yet, but when she does Oliver can console her and
stay by her side. Oliver worries this
news will destroy both Dani and Sofia.
Gerry says, “It’s terrible that so much tragedy has hit the Ripoll
home. Hopefully this will be the end of
their bad luck.” He has to turn away
from Olliver to hide his smirk. bwa-ha-ha

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #187 5/11/15 Pato's Gotta Pay!
This is my last recap because we're in the final week! I hope that I have given you more fun and entertainment than this telenovela has. These last few weeks I've wondered just how much better this show would have been if Pedro Fernandez had stayed on. The writing may not have been better, but Chava's "acting" certainly would have been. I want to thank all the commenters who have stayed with us for the entire run. Your loyalty meant so much to me and to the other recappers as well. To everybody who "lurks", I encourage you to join in and have a say. Recappers need to know you're out there. We love hearing your voices!
|
Thanks Guys! Let's do this again sometime. |
On to the recap!
From Friday:
Chava looks at Lupe's picture. He thanks her and prays for her to help Marisol. He gets a call from Sofia who tells him that Alexa took off with that Rat Bastard Alan.
At the hospital, Pato yells at Silvana and threatens to kill her for ruining his pretty face.
Armie and Chava discuss Alexa's disappearance. Armie thinks she dumped him, but Chava tells him that Alan probably coerced Alexa into leaving with him.

Hasta el Fin del Mundo #186 20150508 Five Things to NEVER Tell A Crazy B*tch!
Thank you Paquita and Jarifa for helpin' a sista' out on Thursday!
Silvanna spotted Patrick and Regina getting on the elevator and she ain't happy about what she saw because Patrick was getting pretty handsy with his co-worker. Anyways, when she comes home, she confronts him about it. Patrick has his back turned and she hasn't yet seen his face. He looks like Chava punched him in the face and then hit him with a brick a few times. Anyways, when she does see his face, she suggests that Regina's boyfriend may have put a whuppin' on him, but he tells her that Chava did it on account that Patrick boinked his virgin kid sister and knocked her up. Patrick thinks that the beat down he got was well worth it. Now Chava will have to look at Patrick's face on his niece/nephew everyday. Silvanna tells him that the Marisol got hit by a Mac Truck and the baby died. Patrick's bummed because he really wanted to irritate Chava for the rest of his life, but he's ok with the death of the baby. Patrick never wanted to be a daddy anyway. Silvanna is surprised to learn that Patrick never wanted to be a daddy, because he acted all thrilled knocking her up.

5/7 Thur Hasta el Fin del Mundo Kiss My Wife (Check), Grab My Wallet (Check), Give Patrick A Beatdown (Check)
Blackmail
Alexa tells Alan he’s crazy if he thinks she’d leave
everything she has to run off with him.
Alan can’t believe she’d prefer such a boring, married life instead of
an exciting and adventurous one at his side.
Alexa can’t believe his ego! She
insults him, calling him a dreadful (pésimo)
director and a patán (cad, uncouth). He tells her that if she were to see “Amores Estremos” (apparently the name of the
film) she’d feel differently. It’s
turned out so well, that it is now in the hands of an important director, Cesar
Baldomer. He’s a worldwide porn film
distributor. He shows her the film on
his iPad. She tries unsuccessfully to
grab the tablet. He insists it’s a work
of art. He’d love to the face of her bf and
her adorable son when they receive a copy of her pornographic film! She pleads with not to do this to her. He says she’d no longer be the fairytale
princess. Instead she’d be the fogosa (passionate) princess. He thinks her boyfriend would go ballistic if
he were to see this film.
Later, he shows her photos and tells her to rip them up if
she wants, he has thousands of copies waiting to be released. “After all the pain you’ve caused me,” cries
Alexa, “you still want to bother me. You
are a cancer in my life. It’s too bad
you didn’t die!” He sarcastically says
he loves her too, but even more after he’s seen how pretty she is in the
film. Alexa charges that the images on
the film are bogus. He must have hired
body doubles. She never appeared
nude! “Ah the magic of editing,” he glibly
replies. The girl he hired was identical
to Alexa. No one will doubt it is
Alexa. Not even her mother! She begs him to destroy the film. He’s sorry, but he can’t. He’s waited a long time for this moment. He heard about the important film she was
making. It’s fantastic she’s become so
famous and is featured in magazines. He’s
so happy for her, and himself. She begs
and begs that he not release that film.
Here comes the offer: No one will
see that film if she agrees to come with him and star in his next film. He’s got it all set up to shoot in French Guiana. She refuses to go with him anywhere. “Fine,” he says. “Just be warned I will release this film to
the media and make sure it’s spread throughout the Internet. Your promising career and your relationship
with your Yeti Mexicano will sink faster than El Titanic!”
Meanwhile, we see Nandito showing off a photo of Alexa in a
magazine to his schoochums.
Back at the restaurant, Alexa gives in. Alan has set up a press conference to announce
she’ll star in his next film in French Guiana.
He’ll also announce he is now her director and representative. He tells her to wear something despaparante (flashy?). He walks away as Alexa weeps.

5/6 #184 Hasta el Fin del Mundo – Alan, ‘member him?
New and Improved Casa

It’s morning and Marisol isn’t up yet. Sofia suggests Chava let his sister
sleep. He sure hopes she’s in better
spirits today. As for him, he and
Armando are planning to meet with Tavarez.
The surveillance videos are being reviewed and he’s hopeful Lupe’s
murderers are caught soon.
Peralta’s Office – Dulliver’s
confused
Geronimo explains he’s designating office space specifically
for Proyecto Magnus. The first phase of
construction has begun and before long, the first tower will be completed. Oliver is confused as to why he needs an
entire company set up for the project.
Gerry tells him he’s hired Patricio, to be in charge of the new
company. Dulliver doesn’t understand why
he wasn’t put in charge of that company.
Gerry explains he wants Dulliver to work with him in the export/import
business, his most important business venture.
As his successor and only heir, Dulliver needs to understand the
business perfectly.

so we’ll know he wasn’t home alone or off to the carnival with various Ripoll
employees. Armando surprises Nandito
with Alexa, who’s been waiting outside.
Nandito is super happy to see they’re back together again. The following morning, Alexa and Armando drop
him off at school. (I’m confused, cuz she’s wearing the same dress from the night before.
QTH?) Anyway, there’s trouble in
paradise cause Loca Irma is watching from across the street! EEK!

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #182 5/4/15 INFERNO
I had extremely bad TV reception Monday night. I couldn't get any more than a second or two of good reception and finally lost the signal altogether. I had to watch this on Hulu without English captions so I'm sure I missed some of the dialogue. Please fill in what I missed in the comments.
From Friday:
We relive scenes from Sofia and Chava's wedding: The rings, the vows, the guests - Alexa looks like she jumped out of the shower in a hurry and just ran a comb through her hair. She looks awful. I notice Isadora is one of the guests, so apparently not all the Peraltas hate the Ripolls. The priest pronounces the couple husband and wife and we get a close up of DZ's sloppy kissing. Mercifully, he doesn't jam his tongue down her throat. Chava tells Sofia that they'll be together till the end of the world. The way he stalked her was there ever any doubt she'd never get rid of him?

Hasta el Fin del Mundo #181 20150501 Lupe Ain't Cold in Her Grave, Chava's Hitched and Paco is Now a Big Stud!
- Armando assumes that Lupe went to heaven and tells Nandito not to expect a dinner invitation for a home cooked meal over at Chava's anymore.
- Alexa is bitchin' about Armando to Paolo when she gets a call from Dani. Dani informs her sister that Lupe was murdered. Alexa's all shocked, but says that she can't attend the funeral because she has a movie to make. She sends Chava her condolences and says that she'll call him when she is less busy.
- It's standing room only at the funeral and Lupe's body's not warm, but Greta is already making the moves on Don Paco before any of the other hussies from the hood can get to him. Greta takes her place beside him on the itty bitty pews. Marisol, Chava and Sophia sit across the aisle from them. Marisol hopefully eyes the door, but Patrick never appears. He's in bed with Silvana.

Fireplace,
lovemaking on the floor, candles, etc.
Sofia and Chava rekindle their amor.
Casa de Chava
Paco is
sorry Lupe’s so disappointed with how things turned out but it was best for the
truth to come out before Aracely and Chava did something crazy like getting
married. He hopes Aracely doesn’t have
to be a single mother and that Pedro will help her. However, Pedro is hurt that he didn’t know
about the pregnancy. Lupe is sure Pedro
will forgive her. After all, he was
there waiting for her to return from the doctor.

4/28 #179 Hasta el Fin del Mundo – Beware the wrath of Geronimo
Casa de Chava
Chava finds Aracely
knitting away and confronts her, “I want the truth! Who’s the daddy? Me or Pedro?”
Aracely doesn’t know what Pedro may have told him but she assures Chava
that he’s the baby-daddy! She would
never lie when it comes to “their” child!
She admits she took advantage that
night, but this baby she’s carrying is the result of that marvelous night
they had together. Chava knows she was
with Pedro shortly before that night. Aracely can’t even look him in the eye when
she admits sleeping with Pedro, “It was
a big mistake on my part since I knew it’s you who I truly love. I know my cycle and know when I
conceived. I have no doubt you’re the
father of this baby.” Chava apologizes
for being such a cad but this does involve knowing whether or not that child is
his or someone else’s! He can’t trust
her assumption the baby is his. He insists on a doctor’s opinion. Aracely brings on the waterworks, “Please
believe me, this is your child!” waaaaaah.
Chava insists, “For the good of everyone involved, we have to be sure
about the baby-daddy! I can’t see myself
living a lie my entire life that will eventually eat away (carcomer) at my soul!”

Araceli vows to Paco that Chava will be the happiest man in the world with her and her spawn. She storms out. Paco looks at the ceiling, "Dios, dios." then turns and goes after her, "Araceli!

Hasta el Fin del Mundo #175 Mob Wife...Sophia is Engaged!
I don't have cable. The signal came in and out during the last 12 minutes of the show. Please fill in what I didn't see.
Now where was I before I was so rudely interrupted by Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday?
Ripoll: Peralta suggests that Sophia read the contract. Sophia says that she trusts him and signs the company away, I'm certain. Afterwards, Peralta asks her out for dinner. As they are leaving, Dani rushes in and thanks Peralta for putting up the ransom. Without it, she would've be in the Christian's unwilling bride. Dani leaves and Chava barges in. He begs for five minutes of Sophia's time. Peralta tells Chava he and Sophia have dinner reservations and he will definitely be trying to get in Sophia's pants. Chava becomes all enraged in stuff. He begs Sophia not to put that seducution visualization into his brain
or ours.
Cruz Residence-Kitchen: Marisol is all pissed at Chava for literally c*ck blockin' Patrick! Chava asked Dani not to allow her to work late. Lupe tells Marisol that she agrees with Chava. It's dangerous for a chick to work alone at night. Araceli who is present tells Lupe and Marisol that she can't wait until Chava accepts her as part of the family.

Empressa Ripoll
Patricieeeeewwww continues seducing Marisol. In his mind, he’s just demonstrating what
sexual harassment in the workplace looks like.
Meanwhile at Casa Chava, Chava finally takes notice that
Marisol’s running a little late and decides to call her cellphone and it goes
straight to voicemail. He decides to go
check on her. Lupe is so proud of her
son, watching over his sister as though he were actually her father. Actually Lupe, it’s just that since he’s no longer
joined at the hip to his güerita,
he has nothing else to do. Luckily for
Marisol, he’d do anything to get away from Aracely.
Highrise Cantina
Irais and Matias are having a good time and she’s had a bit
too much. Jughead insists on drinking a
toast to “impossible loves.” Irais
insists on getting the check before it gets too expensive, blah blah blah. He agrees to take her to her depa and maybe
continue the party there.
