Weekend Discussion: First Annual Televisa Perversity Pageant (Men's Division)
We're
getting into some seriously poisonous stuff with our latest round of Televisa villains. Lately it seems that the growing influence of male writers
is resulting in more perverse male villains than we used to know 10
years ago. Therefore we are now in the finals of our first-annual
Perversity Pageant (Men's Division). Who should get the Crown of Fire?

Weekend Discussion: Photo Gallery; Family Album, Volume 1
Don't you just love it when casting directors get it right? I love how novela producers often match up actors who look like they could share DNA as family members. This can't pretend to be a whole archive, but merely a first installment.

Lo que la vida me robó, Friday, 8/15/14: El gran final -- Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours.*
*Yogi Berra
Mafalda's* dad tries to teach her a life lesson and ends up getting scolded for ruining a good story:
Papá: ¿Ves? Ponemos la semillita, la tapamos...La regamos un poquito...y dentro de unos días tenemos una hermosa planta.
Mafalda (muy indignada): ¡Ya tuviste que contarme el final!
[Dad: You see? We put in the little seed, we cover it up...We water it a bit...and in a few days, we have a beautiful plant.
Mafalda (very indignant): You had to spoil it by telling me how it ends, didn't you!]
*From the classic Argentine comic strip by Quino, excerpted from the collection, 10 Años con Mafalda.
Unlike Mafalda's dad, we've waited patiently for the chance to tell you how it ends. And here it is, brought to you tonight by Madelaine, Eli, Gloria, Julia Rold and NovelaMaven. [If you listen very hard, you can hear Urban, elna june and Elvira kibitzing in the background.]
By the way, we loved Act 2 so much, we decided to give you two different versions of it.
By the way, we loved Act 2 so much, we decided to give you two different versions of it.
So, my friends, roll your EZ-come EZ-go chairs up to your favorite table on the Patio of Lowered Expectations, and enjoy the show. Just don't try this at home!

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 196 - A Mixed Bag - Ding-Dong! We Think The Witch Is Dead but Pedro Makes the Marquis de Sade Proud--14 August, 2014
Robo 196
Private Hospital In
Aguazul, Campeche State, Mexico
Several years in the
future
Dimitrio Mendoza, his sister Montserrat and her husband
Alejandro Almonte are at the bedside of their friend, Victor. Victor, whose
personality is normally vapid, bland and insipid, is today showing signs of
life, as he indignantly delivers the following news about Graciela Mendoza;
“That woman is not sick! She is not paralyzed, All of us
were fooled by her. She got up from her wheelchair to let that MONSTER Pedro
and his goons into your house. She shot me!” He jabs a nod at Montserrat and
Alejandro.
Montserrat Mendoza appeared shocked as she murmurs,
“My own mother! She led that rat bastard to my children!”
Dimitrio Mendoza’s reaction to the information is much
stronger—he is enraged. He rushes out of the room and runs into his ex-wife
Josefina in the hospital lobby. Josefina tells him that Pedro Medina has also
kidnapped Amalia. Dimitrio stares at her and says,
“It was all a (confidence) trick. It is all a lie. Graciela
is Pedro’s accomplice.”
Josefina looks on stunned as Dimitrio mutters with
self-loathing,
“I was fooled—another time.”
Alejandro and Montserrat run by them, making their way out
of the building. Dimitrio joins them but turns back at the last minute.
“Josefina, call Graciela. Tell her that Victor is dead.”
Josefina agrees and makes the call.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robó, # 195, 8-13-2014: Pedro Goes For Broke!
And Kidnaps Victoria, Laurito, Romina, and Also Amelia For Good Measure. Lots Of Other Awful Things Happen, Too!
 |
| My swan song final full recap, folks. Enjoy! |
Warehouse o' All Nefarious Activity
Montserrat has been chained into a fancy-looking water torture box by Pedro and his goons. The box is filling up slowly and steadily. She calls for help. The water will soon be over her golden head.
Half of Agua Azul (Dominga, Macario, Josefina, Esmeralda, Rosario, Padre Anselmo, Carlotta. Nadia, Romina) has gathered together to worry collectively about the fate of Montse. The only person not present is Graciela, who is in her bedroom alone in her anguish, having just confessed to Padre Anselmo that she has been lying to everyone about her illness. Carlotta asks Padre A. if Gracie needs anything, and he responds with one of the best lines of the night:
"Yes," says Padre A. "She needs the presence of God in her heart."
 |
| Very much on board with Padre Anselmo's diagnosis of what ails Graciela |

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo, capitulo 194. 08/12/14. Welcome to Pedro's circus.
Skipping the old and moving right into the new.......
Nadia can't believe that Adolfo fooled them all. It appeared that he had changed for the better. He was so loving. Padre agrees. He was a good guy who realized all the damage he was causing by being el alacran. He tried to fight between the good and the bad. Unfortunately he realized the only way out was death. Pedro gave him no other options.
Montse advises Dimitro to finally close this chapter in his life and move onto a new one. He never wanted to kill anyone but once he found out Adolfo was el alacran he had too. Even though he knows that Nadia and Josefina hate him. Montse admits that all this affected Josefina greatly but she doesn't hate you. She above anyone knew that you had to do what you had to do to detain a criminal. I didn't detain him replies Dimitro. I killed him. That is what I wanted and he wanted too. A policeman told me that his gun was not loaded. It's true that he wanted an exit and unfortunately chose that way to do it replies Montse. Dimitro thought that once he killed el alacran, he would be free. But instead he feels cold and more dead then before. Montse advises him to seek peace from within. Your life did not die with Monica, you have to lifetime to live. You are a great person and I love you. Give yourself a chance. You are the only one that can. Dimitro says he loves her too.
Next day.... Dimitro stares at a photo of him and Monica. He walks around the apartment pulling down her picture and putting it away. The doorbell rings and its Josefina.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo # 192: 8/8/14: Who Will Save Your Soul Fofito?
Ahoy Amiguis. What an episode. This is my last full recap for Robo and I want to thank all the recappers who recapped this longggg TN with me. Thanks goes to Urban, Gloria, NovelaMaven, Julia, Eli, Elna June! I have loved all of your recaps and most times they have been way better than the episodes themselves, it was a pleasure to recap with you. You guys rock for sticking it out. I also want to give kudos to all the commenters who stuck it out with us and the oftentimes hilarious comments and snarking that have gone on. What a pleasure it has been to see new people comment and also our faithful group that continues to comment and give us pearls of wisdom. I thank you! I have included an earworm that really has nothing to do with the storyline here, but we need some levity, si? So I have picked a great one for you to listen to. Undercover Karoke
Shall we begin?
Eric and Esme have arrived at Don Regino's home, that would be Eric's Papa. Eric greets his Papa and wants to talk to his Mama too. Problem is Mama is dead has been for months. Eric asks for forgiveness, but Don R seems to think it's a little too late, it's been years now. Not only did the Moms grieve for her lost little boy, she also grieved for Eric not knowing what had become of him. Don R tells Eric he is dead to him, and as Eric is about to leave, Esme, bless her heart, isn't having it and puts her foot down. We'll get back to them in a tic.
We interrupt this very What Would Esme Do, hereafter known as WWED, for the warning du jour, when PBN (Poor Blind Nadia) tells Monse for the fourteenth millionth time that not only is Vicki (Victoria) in danger but so are Monse and her children, cue the male chorus of doom (Thanks NovelaMaven).

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 191 --The Miraculous One-Day Redemption of Jose Luis Alvarez-- 8/7/2014
Dear Friends:
This is an episode that you really must see if you have
followed Lo Que La Vida Me Robo. It has some very sweet moments along with a
distinct foreshadowing of more darkness to come.
Sadly, I have a migraine headache tonight and I will not be
able to complete a full recap. Lo siento.
Here are a few highlights of the episode:
·
Jose Luis talks to Angelica. He admits he does
not love Montserrat. She is no longer (in his heart).
·
Graciela asks her children for their forgiveness.
They agree and she says she can now live in peace.
·
Jose Luis visits Amalia.
·
Jose Luis visits Esmeralda and apologizes for
not being there for Refugio.
·
Jose Luis visits Father Anselmo. He confesses
his faults, and Anselmo encourages him. God will never abandon him.

Editors Note: My dear patio peeps, this is the end of a long journey, tonight is my last full recap of Robo and I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for staying with us through this whole trip, this story has taken some very dark turns and it has not always been easy to watch-let alone recap, but the awesome community that we have built here always kept me going, sometimes I'd read a comment/recap that would make me laugh out loud, or think about something that I would normally dismiss, all of you here through your comments have made recapping an awesome experience, I often wonder if you all realize how wonderful you all are? I thank you all for the kind words you have had for me every other Wednesday and encourage those of you that are lurking to come out and join us on the patio, we don't bite, we just snark! Again, thank you all for being total super stars, I consider you all friends and am honored to have worked with this team and to have commented along with you all. The recap can be found below, enjoy!
I' am skipping the old and getting right to the new stuff.

Lo que la vida me robó, ep. 189, Tues., 8/5/14: Murder and Meningitis and Vengeance, Oh My!
Someone has finally noticed the elephant in the room, says I.
I have a confession to make. As tragic as Monday's episode was, I saw it as the awakening of Aguazul, and not its downfall. I've been waiting to hear someone say the problem out loud, as Alejandro did in his conversation with Victor...
Ese miserable [de Pedro Medina] está jugando con todos, colocándonos en situaciones que sacan lo peor de nosotros mismos. Quiere que peleemos entre nosotros mismos para debilitárnos.
(That bastard is toying with us, putting us in situations that bring out the worst in us. He wants to pit us against each other to make us weak.)
...and then to propose its solution:
Y tenemos que hacer todo lo contrario; necesitamos estar más unidos que nunca.
(And we have to do exactly the opposite -- we need to be more united than ever.)
When Alejandro stood up to Pedro Medina and refused his Faustian bargain and then later forgave Victor, refusing to see him as his enemy, and when Refugio did the same thing by refusing to compromise his integrity even while looking down the barrel of a gun, I was sure that this show had turned a moral corner.
After tonight's episode -- crap! Was I wrong!

Almonte
House, Gracie's Bedroom: Monserrat finished helping Gracie get
back to her previous appearance. She had colored her hair back to
the ash blonde it had been before Fabiola's suicide. She had applied
makeup. She brought the mirror to her mother's bed so she could see
herself. Gracie was pleased.
“You
did a really great job on my hair,” she said.
“You
look beautiful, Mother,” she said.
“Thank
you, my love,” Gracie said. “You don't know what this means to
me. I want to say it matters your caring for me.”

Lo que la vida me robó, ep. 187, Fri., 8/1/14: José Luis STEALS Romina, The Scorpion Switches Letters, and O.M.G -- It was Victor Who Saved Pedro!
Reader Beware: We descend steeply from the poetic to the prosaic tonight, my friends, from the soaring imagery and singing rhythms of Elna June to the pedestrian plodding of NovelaMaven. [Just chew some gum and you'll be fine.]
Lo de ayer:
Poor Blind Nadia emotes.
How dare Montserrat sell out Victoria to save Alejandro's life? Carlota hears the kerfuffle, is told to butt out, but still hangs around the corner and listens. Montserrat loses her cool: what did Nadia expect her to do? She had no intention of handing over Victoria; she knew they'd have time to figure out how to deal with Pedro and keep their children safe.
[And I have to say that I go with Montse on this. Didn't Poor Blind Nadia ever watch Law & Order reruns (I mean when she was just Poor Nadia or even earlier, when she was Nadia a secas)? Because she'd know that the police always lie to the criminals. They say what they need to say to save a life.]
Victor quietly retrieves a pistol and loads it.
The Odd Couple: Adolfo Outsmarts Dimitrio
Refugio, after spending the day chasing down guitar boy and then lollygagging on the beach, has finally thought to call Dimitrio and tell him about the Very Important and Confidential Letter bearing Ezequiel's Words from the Grave, probably including the identity of Mónica's killer, the Scorpion. Of course, the actual Scorpion, that is, Adolfo, has also heard about THE LETTER since Dimitrio obligingly put the phone on speaker in his presence.

Weekend Discussion: Ultimos Capitulos and What Drives Us Loco Now
Getting
the Right Balance
I
had a thought just as I got up yesterday morning about how in past
Ultimas Semanas discussions people have ranted about how ridiculous
it was to finish off all the villains in the last two or three
episodes. I agree, but now that we have a series where it's
happening across the last three weeks it feels like the pain is just
drawn out, like a prolonged attack of sciatica.
The
explanation for this phenomenon seems all about the writers' need to
maintain a high level of suspense to keep viewers tuned in. We know
that's because cost-cutting is creating longer and fewer series to
make up the standard number of original hours. Nothing about that is
going to change anytime soon, so we need to stop complaining about
it.
In
view of this situation I think it's time that the writers give
themselves a reality check on two things:

Robo 186 – Maria Loses Her Head
Robo has dealt out dreck with a liberal hand,
And bade us sit down and enjoy it:
We could not but own that the protags look grand,
Personal trainers keep them SO fit.
But give TOO long a story and Televisa chances
That viewers with plus-100 IQ
Will stop coming by, giving glances
To see if Ale sports a new shade of BLUE.
Tonight’s actions are few, but they don’t lack import
Hang with the recap—tonight will conclude
Maria’s murder attempts; they keep falling short
Except for Sandro, the much ballyhooed
Blackhaired, handsomest villain.
As we start out, Refugio gets news
The scoop on Emeralda’s new beau
Erik is not the man Refu would choose

Lo Que La Vida Me Robó, #185, 7-30-2014: Pedro Beats Amelia Senseless, María Tries to Kill Montserrat, Gracie Steals Rosario's Dinner Plate, and Other Awful Incidents
Pedro and Amelia Have an Intimate Dinner; Only Pedro Eats
Amanda fakes affection and concern, fussing over Pedro as has dinner and offering him more wine. Finally, she suggests that he goes to rest in the bedroom. He needs it, she maintains. He agrees, throwing down his napkin on the table before he goes. Alone at last, she is breathing heavily and seems nervous and afraid.
Ale Decides to Bring Glad Tidings of EZ to Carlotta
Montse wants to know what Alejandro wants to speak to them about. Carlotta guesses it must be about Ezequiel, and Ale admits, yes, it is. What did he do now? Carlotta wants to know. She says that EZ ought to be in prison. She claims she never wants to see him again for the rest of her life.
"EZ died last night," Alejandro informs her.
The news affects Carlotta, and she asks what happened, but before Alejandro can speak she begs, "Tell me he died trying to help Rosario. Tell me in the end EZ did the right thing. Tell me, please."
"Yes," Alejandro says, slowly. "EZ sacrificed himself for us."
"Thanks for telling me the story," Carlotta tells Alejandro. She seems less anguished, and Montse tells her to get some rest. Ale assure Carlotta that she is not alone and that together they will all move beyond this. Alejandro and Montserrat leave Carlotta alone. As she remembers what happened she begins to cry.

La Que La Vida Me Robo, capitulo 184. 07/29/14.
Skipping the old and straight into the new....Pedro has the gun pointed at himself as EZ and I are yelling for him to shoot himself. Hurry up before the navy rushes in and arrest you. Now shoot! It looks like Pedro is about to pull the trigger but instead points the gun at a surprised EZ. You are here because I have decided it this way says Pedro. I wanted the pleasure to end your miserable pathetic life. Pedro pulls the trigger but unfortunately there are no bullets. EZ laughs and says you fell in my game. The plan is to turn you in alive so the navy can find Rosario and you can rot in prison for the rest of your life you miserable swine! Pedro rushes EZ and throws him up against the wall, throws insults at him and pistol whips him. The navy rush in but Pedro is long gone. The boys ask EZ were Pedro is and if he said anything about Rosario. Nothing replies EZ.
Outside a badly wigged Maria is waiting in a car and in hops Pedro. They speed off.
Amelia and Virginia sit down for a heart to heart chat. Amelia is angry that Virginia keeps questioning her decision to marry Pedro and send her away. Virginia believes Amelia sent her away to enjoy her marriage to Pedro and keep her from pestering them. Amelia admits the only reason she married Pedro was to find proof of his bad dealings. He never touched her or shared a bed with her. Virginia isn't buying her story. Amelia grows more frustrated and says there is just no talking to her. Virginia says she really needed her. She lost her father, sister and then her. Amelia says she did it all to protect her. She loves, missed and needs her. They are together now and nothing will separate them again. She wants her to find someone to love and form a family. She wants grand kids. Virginia says she met a man at Esme's house. His name is Eric. I don't think he is interested in Esme since he's a younger. I believe I caught his eye.
