Qué Bonito Amor #88 (Mex 126) Thursday 8/15/13 Que Bonito Aburrimiento
The Santos, OG death match goes nowhere.
Justo comes to visit Michael to talk about Wendy.
Wendy gets a nasty email saying "YOU'RE NEXT" and freaks out.
OG's such a big man, beating on Jantos while he's being held by two goons. OG opens up champagne…um, no, if it's Italian, then it's not champagne, dumbass!...to toast to this big day. Still haven't heard why this is such a big day. Ha! OG's trying to shake Jantos down for 10 million. What an idiot!
Roddy and Paloma…all alone? Why?...go to Jantos' family's vault to leave Gloria's ashes. I'm going to be bitter about Gloria's death for a while. Roddy is likewise bitter, but in a more weepy way.
Maria and Fernando start tracking down Jantos. They strike out at the restaurant. Fernando counsels patience, but Maria is convinced Jantos is in danger.
Mostly I think he's in danger of being bored to death by OG. So, the plan is to get Jantos to get Justo to hand over the money. Jantos is thrilled to hear that OG's life is in danger. OG admits to killing Bruno and Arnold. He blames Arnold for not taking the money out of the trunk in time. "Blah, blah, blah, he died like the rat he was."

Corazon Indomable Cap. 68 8/15/13 “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free”
There seem to be a few bumps in the
road to romance for our secondary couples, while our heroine is poised on the
edge of a cliff. Will she jump into Karim’s arms or be pushed into a prison
cell? My preview prep was limited, so if
I missed something, please add a comment.
Many short scenes are combined and may not be in strict order.
Previously Doris
is in Daddy Gov’s office brushing off Octavio’s marriage as a mere
inconvenience. It took place in a small
town, after all. If the first wife shows
up on the island, Daddy can make her go away.
The Gov is slightly puzzled—doesn’t
Doris care about the scandal? Nope, just
about her hawt pilot/Lt./air force commander/whatever. She loves, loves, loves him and wants to
marry him. We have a nice break from
ShutUpDoris for most of this episode.
She and Mariana have a brief scene with the Gov later, as he explains
they can’t do the big wedding announcement yet because a) he’s busy and b)the mess of Oblivio’s
marriage isn’t fixed yet.
Casino
Executive Offices
The casino environment is beginning to feel claustrophobic, but it could be due to the emotional temperature of the sizzling scenes with MariAle and Tav. The two are arguing if MariAle is MariCruz. She gets her ID to show she is indeed Maria Alejandra Mendoza. Our married man wonders how she knew he already had a wife and couldn’t marry Doris. She hints that his bro might have let the news slip while he was drunk. Oblivio, frustrated, claims he’ll marry Doris just to bother MariAle and asks her to leave him alone if she doesn’t love him.

PEAM #113- 8/15/13- A Break-up, An Engagement, An Annulment, An Ugly Divorce, An Almost Fight and An Arrest
It's out of order but easier to read. I grouped like happenings together.
The Old:
Ferny and Rogue are having a bro to bro talk about the only
woman that he has loved- Amanda who he lost. He only thinks about money and sex. Then Ferny breaks it
down- you have your cake and was eating it too but you lost that as well.
Marisela tells Panfilo to stop being a player and be honest
but he is going to the Carnival Club for people of a certain age. Panfilo is
dressed to the nines, cane and all and Susana is licking her chops when she
sees him.
Julio brings Jesus the judicial news about custody.
Moronica comes home in a mood and wants to speak to Elias
about the photographer. We get a
glimpse of those horrible neon green, phone handle-matching shoes. Yuck!!!!!
Alma goes to Padre Domingo for the annulment papers. Alma is happy.
Val is sneaking to speak to her Papa Jesus. She is anxious to see him. Moronica is
on her broom, yelling about Jesus and not letting him see his daughter and
walks off. Beyotch!!! Val has to
hang up. Moronica tries to act
like a mother for once and kisses Val.
What a phony interaction.

Corazon Indomable #67 3 crazies and a crying toddler on one small island.
Married? ShutupDoris insists that’s a lie, and launches into another of her patented tirades.
Octavio and Ed are preparing for flight with Luciafer on board. Octavio wants Ed to keep quiet about Miguel and his little problems. Ed, the voice of reason, tells him he should stay out of their mess, but Octavio can’t help involving himself.
MA is at home congratulating herself over her anonymous call to the gov. ShutUpDoris must be having a hissy fit right about now. Check. Juanita comes in with the baby in a stroller to take her out for a walk and is bouncing around like she has to go to the bathroom and can barely hold on. Just go already, you’re making me have to go. MA doesn’t notice and goes on to say how much she loves taking care of her baby’s needs. Finally MA looks at nanny and asks what’s wrong. Juanita tells her she’s worried because someone is watching their house. So it wasn’t because she was going to wet her pants. But why take the baby out on a walk if your worried about being watched?
Octavio is walking Lucia and the child through a plane hanger. She asks how Miguel is and he must be missing her, right? Lie, Octavio, Lie. Don’t involve yourself in their mess.

The New: While Dam ponders his memories of Wet Cement, Hernán drinks mid-day and recalls being rebuffed by Marina. He vows he will keep fighting for her, they will be together and nobody will get in their way!
Pestercita whines to Dam about Marina. He informs her that Marina is his boss, their fishing trip was no Love Boat, they were attacked by pirates and barely escaped with their lives, so would Liitle E please stop it with her stupid jealousies? She continues to whine that he never says “I love you.” He sighs that he’s not the romantic type, then he tells her to stop insulting Marina. This was the last time, got it? La. Ultima. Vez.

Lies can only be destroyed with bullets of truth
Elías is afraid. After Uri, Verónica is the most dangerous person in Monterrey. And she is on the loose!!
Read more »
Raimunda's secret is public domain. Chatita convinced her to be truthful and now she is letting her hair down. As we all know, after seeing her mother get killed ''because she was a woman'' (by the hands of a very violent man), Raimunda denied her gender. Well, that was the past, because now Super Jesús is here to tell her to be herself, to prepare and study to be someone like Alma. See, Alma is a woman and nobody has killed her. Not all women get killed. Chatita is a woman and she has had a veeery looong life. Uri tried to kill Alma though, but she survived. You will too Raimunda, don't dress like a boy anymore, but better change that name. What about Ignacia? And your looks, we will help you. Ah! And don't worry about Valentina. She is just a girl and younger than you, but she has been exposed to so many adult situations that she knows more than me, Elías and Chatita together, she will understand your change... And soon you will be BFFs and could share make-up tips!
Segment sponsored by Lala milk.
While Elías and Jesús give Raimunda a makeover, Chatita takes the opportunity to tell Valentina about ''the secret'', and I am not talking about the book by Rhoda Byrne. After opening the door, Valentina's jaw drops to the floor when she sees the first transgender girl in her life. Raimunda is wearing a white dress and matching ribbon bows in her hair. They hug each other while the adults smile satisfied and proud of all the good they have done. From here, straight to heaven!!

PEAM, Tuesday 8/13/13 (#111): My Friends Call Me Chatita. You Can Call Me Luisa.
Rogue rants and raves in Alma's office. Alma closes the door in hopes of muffling their conversation, but this is hilariously ineffective. The employees and Elias hear every word as Alma lets Rogelio have it (verbally, that is) with every complaint she's kept bottled up for all this time: She's the one who keeps the office running. He does nothing around here except screw around with her friend or the occasional secretary. He traipses in around noon only to work on his personal projects of dubious legality, like the time he got those "Turkish cigars" from that "warehouse." She used to put up with it because he was her novio, but that was a mistake!
Rogelio says he wants Alma to tell him EVERYTHING that goes on around the office from now on, IS THAT CLEAR? (He stands on his tippy-toes, which doesn't really help.) Alma says yes, and Rogue leaves, gloating. Alma begins to work up a hearty rage.
At Orion, Augusto marvels at the simplicity of the agreement that Chucho (and supposedly Elvis) worked out with the union. He wants to know how they got Romero to listen to reason. Chucho volunteers Elvis, who is admiring his reflection in the lenses of his sunglasses, to explain it all to old Gussie while Chucho takes care of some other business.

Here are some screencaps to get us started. Full recap below.

RECAP SUMMARY with a plethora of screencaps.
We have a refrito with JAntos not sure he can forgive Maria, and Maria crying over it. Maria has a bright idea and we see her serenading JAntos outside of his pension room window. He seems unmoved at first, but doesn't move away from his balcony. When she climbs up the trellis to him, he smacks a passionate beso on her. Things are looking up for our couple.

Corazon Indomable, #66, Tuesday, 08/14/13 Lieutenant Octavio Narvaez of the Isla Dorada Navy, Army and Aviation Force is Oblivious no more. For now.
I always complain, so now I have to mention I quite enjoyed this episode, I feel like so much happened. Could this be because I had a shot of tequila before writing the recap?
Don’t judge me, it was
very good tequila. ¡Salud!

I'll be editing it some more in the morning, gotta go to sleep now.

At her house, Maria Alejandra
is remembering Mohammed’s warning that Karim will accuse her of the
assassination attempt if she doesn’t go to visit him. For once in her life, she
seems scared – is she finally realizing that she’s been playing with very powerful
men? No, not really, she is still reluctant to believe she could be accused.
Our two pilotontos
read the letter that Octavio received at the end of last episode and it says –
– – wait for it – – – the Governor gave Tav a new title, he named him
lieutenant in the Isla Dorada Navy! Ed is sure later he’ll become a captain, a
colonel, a commander. Tav is not that happy about it, he knows nothing about
military life (or life in general, as far as I’m concerned); also, both guys
agree that the isla is not that great when it comes to its Navy force – you
know, like boats and stuff.
Regardless, Ed thinks
Tav will look great in the white uniform (can’t argue here). Tav doesn’t feel
like accepting the title, though, even if the pay would be much better, because
that would mean him becoming a slave. So he decides to refuse the promotion
(but can we call it that if he hasn’t even been in the field before?) and go
talk to the Gov about it. And why not break up with Doris, too, finish the farce once and for all. Good
luck with that, Lieutenant Narvaez!
Alone in his office, the
Gov is thinking about the trouble he’ll have if the Police Chief discovers that
he accepted the Emir’s bribe to allow the sale of the Casino.

La Tempestad, Capitulo 11. August 12, 2013.
Marina asks Damian where he gets the idea that she’s jealous. He tells her he only speaks the truth. She assures him he’s so wrong. He doesn’t know her feelings at all. You’re right replies Damian. You have no feelings. Your heart is made of stone. With that he takes his leave.
Damian sees Lazaro and asks where’s he’s been. Lazaro tells him that his mom went to see his
uncle, the priest, and complained that he and his cronies are a bad
influence. But I don’t think so and my
uncle agrees. He promises to work extra
hours to make up for the time lost. Damian
wants to know if what Bagre ways is true.
Did you find a woman? Yes,
replies Lazaro, but it’s not like that.

Refrito, Elias kisses Valentina goodnight, she doesn't look too happy but the green stars make her close her eyes. Jesús tries to take his leave of Aida since it is the evening when Agosto demands he attend him in his office for an emergency. Oops, Alma has prepared a romantic heart laden table an donned her sexy red dress as she dreams of former kisses.
Rogelio tells Alejandra that he has an important client for her, Nick Donovan. Even though he smells odd, she would rather cuddle with Rogelio but she is won over by the stack of cash he hands her from the conveniently located briefcase full of bills. The photographer is burning up his memory card as Alejandra leaves and Virus-onica arrives. Sanson does his usual disapproving growl. She thinks Rogelio smells odd too. Did I miss a product placement or what? Why does Rogelio smell funny? In his hurry to pin Virus to the couch, she nearly crushes Sanson but he barks to shoo them off to the bedroom upstairs. Que asco.
Aida has to call Alma to tell her that Jesús is detained in a meeting with Agosto so she sits and daydreams of their romantic moments instead.

Corazon Indomable #65, 8/12/2013: Inconvenient Wives; Karim and the Chief Put the Squeeze on Mari
El Emir Karim’s wife, who also has lovely blue eyes, and her
father, whose fake beard is worse than Teo’s fake hair, have been teleported to
Isla Dorada to Karim’s hospital bedside. Mrs. Karim wonders if it would not have
been better for them to put Karim in the teleporter machine to the Emerites, so
that he can receive medical care there.
The doctor interrupts to say he’s about to look over Karim’s wound, so
the lady better leave the room. Her father insists that in her delicate
condition (I guess Karim did fulfill his duty and plant his seed), it’s best
she leave and protect the health of the heir. He thinks they should go
speak to the police.

Ed bets Tav that he is such a weakling, that he’ll end up

in case it IS La Hija del Gobernador. Ed takes the call and fields Doris’
one-hundred- and-one questions about Tav’s whereabouts, pretending he has no
idea where his friend is. (And just why would he be hanging out in Tav’s room
if Tav wasn’t there?) Miguel rushes in to gossip about the drama at the casino
the night before. Tav wants to know if
Mari is ok. Miguel is more concerned about himself. The police intend to
interview everyone who was present, and his fugitive status may get him into
hot water. Ed doesn’t think the police will be so stupid as to not figure out Miguel’s
a wanted man. Tav, caring brother that he is, is more concerned about Maria
Alejandra’s chances of being detained. He wants to help her.

Recap by Cece
The Old: Raiza is informing Maria Alejandra of the recent agreements between Emir and Carola. Raiza insists that she can be trusted and MA complies. Contrary to Raiza’s advice, MA will be heading to the celebration tonight.
The New
Miguel is reading Lucia’s letter of desperation. She can no
longer take his absence, she wants to sell so she can be by his side and Miguel
will also be able to see his son. She’s
spends the rest of the letter pouring out the little love (didn’t know she even
had that in her) that’s in that hatred filled heart of hers. Miguel looks not so pleased at this
revelation. He does not want her to come and see how far he’s fallen. He blames
his situation on her sins. Because of
her sins, he has murdered a man and that will forever be on his conscious. He
also blames her for losing what he loves most…. his lands (too bad MA will get
her hands on those soon!). So he doesn’t have to think about anything, he
prefers to drown his sorrows with alcohol (yea, like that’s not going to get
you into more problems. What’s wrong with you brothers? Please, just once act
like you have a brain!). Raiza stops for
a visit and tells him to stop drinking (she almost seems sincere). Miguel acts
surprised and tells her not her too (oh gee, sorry for caring). Raiza reminds
him he has to work tonight, and to do so he needs to have a clear mindset. He
tells her that Lucia wants to come to La Famosa Isla, but Raiza firmly tells
him to say no way! Raiza comes up with a plan for Octavio to somehow convince
Lucia to stay at the ranch.

Weekend Discussion: Your Favorite Novela Subgenres
Historically, novelas have mostly focused on romance and its various difficulties, joys, and pain. In recent years we're seeing more comedy ones, mysteries, and violent narcotrafficante stories. What is your preference and why?
Labels: telenovelas, weekend
Qué Bonito Amor #84 (Mex 122) Friday 8/9/13 The Thrill Is Gone--But The Slow Burn Ain't
Cap 122 or thereabouts.....
Lo Del Pasado:
Susanito
is free at last, free at last!
Ruben
continues to badmouth Jorge Alfredo and to offer his “solid citizen’s” shoulder
to cry on for Maria. Maria doesn’t want
to hear it. Now that Ruben realizes Maria
and JAntos are on the outs he tries to widen the divide every chance he gets. He
and Maria have walked in on Elvira forcibly locking lips uhhhh-gain with JA who
gets an accusatory earful from his angry ex. It’s more of the hey, I just work here and I am
heading back to L.A. now that I’ve done what I said I would for you and since
there’s nothing keeping me here any longer.
Trampira and Rubber exchange shit-eating grins of approval with each
other.
Isa and Jalisquito continue their battle of the sexes.
Isa and Jalisquito continue their battle of the sexes.
Lo Del Nuevo:
Rodrigo
finds a way to earn a bit of extra cash and spends it on poster board “I Love
You” signs to wave up at Paloma through the balcony window. (Yawn.) FF>>
Once
the others are gone, Rub tells JAntos that for as much as he’s tried to force
JA out of Maria’s life and away from his comfy barrio buds, he becomes more and
more established [afianzarse] within the community. He accuses JA of playing games with Maria’s
feelings and hurting her. JA tells Rub he’s
a poor loser who has no dignity and begs for the love of a woman who’ll never
respond to him.
Trampira
tries pestering Maria while she’s counting bottles at the bar. Maria tells Vi to can it and tells Vi how sad
it is to see a woman humiliate herself by subjecting herself to continual
refusals from a man who wants nothing to do with her. “—You’d have to kill me to destroy the love
tie between Jorge Alfredo and me!” Vi tells
herself that just might be worth the effort.
“—Have it your way!” (Hey, she
already killed once; what’s another life more or less?)
JA
says he didn’t break it off with Maria; he simply let her go. Anyway, he’s not
like de Olmo who gets a sick kick out of playing with people’s feelings, always
enjoying seeing them squirm. Rub claims
he’s making Maria suffer—something he’d never do because he lurrrrves Maria so.
“—No you desire
her and that’s quite different!!
You simply cannot stand the fact that a humble woman would reject the
opulent life you offer her!” “—What’s
wrong with offering her a world she’s never known?” “--Nobody asked you to! And, anyway, I can offer her that and much
more.” Rub reminds JA that he’s got to
deal with American justice first. JA is
all back atcha! “--Yeah, I will
eventually get it all worked out. And what
about you when the law finally catches up with you?” No matter, he continues. “--Oh, and don’t get too chummy with Maria
while I’m gone, because before I leave I’m making sure she’ll never look twice
at a guy like you!” JA exits stage left. Ruben snarls to himself afterwards that Santos
is going to fall fast and hard and will soon be keeping company with Giuliano…..
Mil
Amores, still off his game, admits to himself that he loves Ana with all his
might and decides to write her a love letter expressing his feelings. Unfortunately for Mil, he’s only thinking
with half his brain. Mil keeps it anonymous
so that when he slips the envelope under Ana’s apartment door, Seven Seas finds
it and hands it to her during lunch. She
naturally thinks it came from Seven Seas, and he isn’t exactly in any hurry to correct
the notion either.
Jalisquito
gets honked off that Isa has won their little sidewalk soccer game. Mil gives the kid lessons on keeping his “disappointment”
from a female. They share more “Big
Brother” moments and practice a few new songs together.
Concho
surprises Lourdes with flowers and her favorite perfume. (A woman is always a sucker for a beautiful
bouquet—and damn if this one isn’t one of the most intriguing ones I’ve ever
seen!) She seems to be fighting the urge
and Viewerville hopes she sticks to her guns.
He offers to make her dinner. She
doesn’t know if she’ll let him.
At
the same time, pobre de Murna’s slumming and still in her nightie and slippers. She swears she’s going to get even with the
Hernandez family and make them pay for humiliating her.
Back
at the bar, JAntos is heading out for home.
Maria chases after him and begs for forgiveness again. He refuses again and says something inside of
him has broken. He’s been betrayed by
friends and lovers. She swears she never
betrayed him. He says it was enough that
she took de Olmo’s side over his and then admits he simply no longer has it in
him to forgive. She swears that no
matter where he goes and how far he goes, he will never get rid of her or
forget her because his heart belongs to her; when he eventually is able to
forgive her and return, she’ll be there waiting for him.
Rub
tells Maria later on that the cold and heartless way JA is treating her is
proof that he’s really not the great guy she thought he was. “--Nobody should ignore the sacrifices others
have made for them! He’s showing his
true colors.” Maria takes this with a
wary grain of salt cuz she knows she stuck her foot in it, big time with de
Olmo.
Fernando
advises JA to forgive and forget, but JAntos says this time he can’t. He is just hurting too bad. He only ever felt this bad when his mother
died, he says, and perhaps that means that his love for Maria is dying
also. No way, says Fer. It will never die, but you have to learn that
love means forgiveness. “—if we can’t
forgive then we cannot love. (Sounds a bit convoluted to me, but I guess that’s
another cute way of saying love means never having to say you’re sorry, right?)
And
the show must go on! That night JA, with
a sad glance at Maria, chooses to open the set with “Te Solte La Rienda”. Maria is heartbroken. He finishes the song and she sings “Si Nos
Dejan” to him and holds out her hand once she’s finished. He thinks it over for a few loooooong seconds
and decides to ignore her and walk off the stage. (Ouch!)
Well, we can't exactly say she didn’t have it coming……

The more you beat me, I will fawn on you*
*A Midsummer Night's Dream, Act II, scene 1.
The old:
Hernán has a post-dinner tantrum. Marina snaps at DamFab for walking into her office without knocking -- "Didn't anyone teach you better?" When DamFab attributes her petty tyranny to jealousy, Marina is all "Me, jealous?" ¡Está usted loco!
The new:
Hernán Haskell, a vision in tight orange pants, breezes into Marina's office with a chirpy "Buenos días" and then, noticing the glaring contest between the two pretty protagonistas, asks if he is interrupting anything. DamFab sighs and mockingly repeats Marina's reproach: "Didn't they teach you to knock?" Marina puts on a show for DamFab's benefit, greeting HH warmly, thanking him for the wonderful evening, kissing his cheek.
That Esthercita is being fitted for her wedding gown doesn't keep her from needling her with-friends-like-this-who-needs-enemies best friend, Mayuya. Behind her, the seamstress warns Esthercita to stop fidgeting or she's going to stick her with a pin.
[Do it! someone calls from the Patio.]
Mayuya stares up at the preening little E. If looks could kill...
Hernán extends his hand: "Hernán Saldaña, capitán." DamFab keeps his own arms crossed on his chest: "No offense, but my hands smell like fish." But H is offended and Marina rushes to his defense. When H leans over to kiss Marina's hand, DamFab snickers. But when Hernán pulls out his wallet to pay the captain for risking his life and saving Marina, DamFab stops smiling. He reminds H that not everything is for sale.
As DamFab exits, we catch a glimpse of the Sabritas machine in the hallway. And we are reassured that, whatever her problems, Marina will always have something to nosh on.

Do I entice you? do I speak you fair?
Or, rather, do I not in plainest truth
Tell you, I do not, nor I cannot love you?
Helena:
And even for that do I love you the more.
I am your spaniel; and, Demetrius,
The more you beat me, I will fawn on you*
