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 de Chava
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.

Cinco de Mayo Tue #183 Hasta el Fin del Mundo – Hold on to your Margaritas, it’s going to be a bumpy night!

Paolo says good bye to Alexa from afar as Armando and Alexa rekindle their love.  Armando loves her, she loves him and Armie promises never to be jealous again.

New and Improved Casa de Chava
Joe College is studying.  Finals are coming up so he wants to hit the books but Sofia has other plans.  Smoochies. 

Depa de Armando – She’s baaaaaack!
Armando arrives home and we meet his new nanny, Dona Herminia, 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.

4/29/15 #179 Wed Hasta el Fin del Mundo – Something Wicked This Way Comes

¯Con la Paz del las Montañas te Amaré¯
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!”

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.

4/22 Tue #174 Hasta el Fin del Mundo – Calling Patricio a Rata con Dos Patas is an insult to Ratas

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.
