PEAM #150 - 10/07/2013 - Can't You Hear the Laughter from Icky Robots & Violent Wedding Receptions & Evil Times Without End?


Our PEAM story has gotten so silly, so inane, I just couldn't help but start out tonight by bringing our thoughts to someone who deserves our thanks that an intelligent voice in the world speaks reason when so many others are speaking only madness and stupidity. I am Malala, I am Malala, I am Malala!!

Catching up… Jesica does a bit of pout and whine ruining her bride face while she chastises her parents for being late and scaring her that they were not coming. The priest says let's get on with this and everyone takes a seat.  Tracy places a jeweled if wrinkly hand on Jesus' thigh, sigh.  He plucks it off with dexterity.

Papa warns Cardy to be very careful with his daughter and Mommy rubs his bald head for good luck.  Both Cardy and Jesica cry with love as they begin their vows. Jesus explains to Valentina that people that love each other go through this ritual.

Alma and her Poppy talk about old times and his excitement to spoil his only grandchild. He seems happy to be getting a chance to be a better grandfather than he was a father. He can't wait to know if it is a boy or girl.  It will likely be one or the other so Alma tells him not to worry.

Already at the post ceremony reception.  Valentina wants to make friends with the robot baby and Tracy wants to drink tequila so she orders two when the waiter is hailed. She admits that she has a son but she never sees him.

LA TEMPESTAD EXTRA–CONFIDENCIAL, Issue #1


LA TEMPESTAD – CONFIDENCIAL
 

Advice to the lovelorn, culinary hints

And Guide to proper attire For a small seaside village in Mexico

(Voted The Best Occasional Supermarket Gossip Rag by Two or Maybe Three Patio Denizens)
Issue #1 – October 6, 2013                                              Underwritten by The Storm-Cellar™

In this issue: JudyB’s Jems; Capturing Episode Essences; Food for Thought; The Poets Corner


WE BEGIN WITH JUDYB’S JEMS
Thanks for the reminder about ship protocol. Maybe we'll learn how to say "Permission to come aboard, sir" in Spanish. I'm sure that will come in handy here in central Ohio.

They say that danger and the presence of death makes you verrrrry lustful. Something about wanting to plant your seed before your permanent exit from planet earth. So yeah, makes sense that Marina and Dam Fab were feeling especially hawt last night while those bullets were whizzing. And us right along with 'em!

Hernán looks quite fetching from a distance, and our DamFab is always delicious.

We all need a St. Eusie in our lives, and an Elna June as well.

Ay yi yi..don't throw tomatoes at me but Pestercita doesn't look particularly miserable with Ernesto. She seems content to be adored, spoiled and given lots of gifts.  She has amnesia but not a lobotomy. Still, we never see her cringing in revulsion. We're all appalled but she doesn't seem to be.

This episode had me muttering Estupido! Estupido! If Candy and cohorts don't get this straightened out soon I'm going to have to take a Sulk Break from this telenovela.

I do continue to be amused by how many scenes Monica Miguel has scripted of her hugging our muscular sculpted Damian. Do you think I could manage to get cast as a wise old woman in his next movie? Certainly be worth a try.


CAPTURING EPISODE ESSENCES

JudyB, resident psychologist, says:
Well, we have a lot established by this second episode.

Damian is a lusty, macho guy who leads with his lance if it's a lady, and with his fists if it's a man. And the poor doofus is already in love.

And Marina is a modern take-charge woman who's going to be seduced by an inherently lovable cave man. Awwwwww.

Fulgencio is a sh#t who disrespects his wife and is all about his daughter and face-saving.

Mayuya hates Estercita, with reason. Estercita is an over-privileged drip.

Hernan is a creepy, stalker bad guy involved in white slavery. And obsessed with Marina.

Mercedes has been used and abused but has triumphed. And of course we're hoping that her other daughter, presumably used and abused will make it too.

 

Degrees of Hotness (but not the Inferno kind)
The kiss-in-the-cave scene was visually surrealistic, what with that spotlight shining down, etc. I was half expecting Damian to sprout a beard, reach up to the sky, and receive the ten commandments on tablets from the heavens above. [Doris]
 
Does the Patio think there is chemistry between Marina and Damian? [Doris]
 
Doris, the patio feels William Levy could have chemistry with a wall. [Cap’n]

 

Red Pants in the Sunset
Hernán's red skinny pants were most unfortunate. They are alas unfortunate on anyone who wears them, man, woman or child. Proof positve, if we needed it, that he will NEVER GET Marina. Ever. [JudyB]

When I saw the red pants I thought Peter Frampton!! Yes, because once when I saw PF live he wore bright red pants and it scarred my eyes for life. [Cap’n]

Wish I had seen Hernan’s red pants. Gah. Mejia has a good sense of humor. Or the absurd. [Doris]

JudyB, excellent point about the red pants. They are not a chick magnet. Period. [Cap’n]

Hey! I thought Hernan rocked those red pants. Is it me or does he (the actor) look smaller than he did in LaReinaDelSur? He seems shorter/thinner. [Eli]

I too liked Hernan’s red pants on It’s... so Italian/Euro looking; he's got the slim build for it. [Shallowgal]

Eli, it's The Pants!!! [Cap’n]

Yes! The red pants! (Just like Roy el Rollero's in Amores Verdaderos!). Villains wear silly pants and heroes get to wear tight sexy jeans. It's the rule. BTW, did anyone else notice the baggy-bottomed yellowish pants Hernán Haskell wore the other day? It ain't easy being mean. [NovelaMaven]

CI: #104: An Episode of Repetitive Conversations and a Splash of Bravado from Octavio!




I do not like JA 3.0 4.0 (oh heck I have lost count on how many personality transplants he has had with each episode). He is convincing MC to not invite the dirty poor children she has invited onto her lands. They have the same old argument they seemed to be having these past few episodes. JA thinks she is absurd to invite them (JA you did grow up in the same neighborhood, no? Why the snobbery)?  MA does not care about their appearances, they may be dirty rascals on the outside but they are pure and beautiful on the inside. She has not forgetten where she came from….blah blah blah. In the end Santa convinces her not to invite the children since it is late and to celebrate the following morning. She agrees but is sad that Oblivio has not showed up. Everyone has sad faces and seems more like mourning than a celebration.  MC doesn’t help with a depressing dialogue of how hurt she is and how hard life has been on her. (Easy solution: forget your vengeance, show Lupita lots of love and raise her so that she wont live the same way you did, concentrate on strengthening the empire you own because too many people are worrying about your finances, and ward off any evil people around you (like JA)).  

Simona annoying waits around for Oblivio since now that she is married she has nothing better to do with her time.  When he arrives, he feigns a headache and rebuffs her more by wanting to rest in the guest rooms. Miguel looks disapprovingly in the background while Simona is obviously worried. When Oblivio is alone, he is frustrated that he cannot go to his daughter’s baptism (I am not sure what the problem is here….I confess again to missing a few episodes but what is stopping him but himself? Tell SImona you have a daughter, you need to be as present as you can in her life, and like it or not he will be always be somewhat linked to MC so take it or leave!) But alas my rants are too sensible for Oblivio to understand.

PEAM #149- 10/4/13: I'm From Missouri, Show Me! or Indecent Proposal Avon Style!



Hola, Peam Peeps! This recap will not be in order, por supuesto! I like to kerfuffle nah, not that, the recap just flows better. It is hotter than two chickens in the oven today, and I am so very lazy. 




We have the old news of Panfilo's eye operation, Chatita is now with him and I swear, his eye patch is see through. Why couldn't they have given him a cool pirate one? Arrggghh!! The one he has on, looks like what the Governator in El Zorro, El Espada y La Rosa wore! Anyhoo, they declare they still luuuurrrvvvve each other and Susana is now history for our AARP Babe Magnet.

Xochi doesn't want to hold that little robot baby. She isn't into it, so to speak. She is not Mama material in other words. Ferny loves the little Fernadito, and is taking good care of him. When she explains to the Secretaria's it's a robot baby they are que, que, what? Later, Jessy holds the baby and she is quite good with him also. Loved Ferny changing the diaper. Anyhoo, later Xochi is getting in bed, and is bothered cause Ferny is still canoodling with the robot baby. They argue a tad, Xochi so doesn't want a baby right now, it's a bother, and the baby starts crying. Who knew robot baby's could pick up on Mommy and Daddy not being cool with each other? The long and short of it is, Xochi wants some shut eye, Ferny has to care for the baby on his own. He is quite good at it, and looks like he really loves this baby.

La Tempestad, cap. 50, Friday, October 4: Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da, Life goes on, bra


Madre Eusebia has gone to the light, as Mercedes reminds us.  It is clear that her shocking departure from this earthly plane will have repercussions for those she left behind (whether they know it or not).  There is a carpe diem vibe in the air.  Seize the day.

Hernán? He's unconcerned about the death of an old woman.  He has his own problems.  He's irritated at Ernesto's peremptory summons to the fortress in Mexico.  He obeys but with reluctance:
Ya me estás cansando, don Ernesto, ya me estás cansando.
(Now I'm really getting tired of you, don E.  Literally: You are tiring me.)

Ursula Horribilis?  Bereavement is an excuse to get close to Damián.

The others -- the crew, the townspeople, the Guacamaya folks, Mercedes -- really do extend their comfort and support to DamBereft.   

Murderous Fulgencio is there too, of course.  Mercedes catches his eye and shoots him a look of pure loathing.

In the end, Dam takes Marina's hand as each stands on either side of Eusebia's grave.  The theme song swells.  And we know that Hernán is yesterday's sushi.

Qué Bonito Amor #124 (Mex 162) Friday 10/4/13 ¡Qué Bonita Boda Del Barrio! ¡Qué Ridículo Fin De Los Villanos! ¡Qué Horror de Nueva Pareja!


Cap162

Santos last sees Giuliano burning in the warehouse cuz now Old Goldie is no more than a crispy critter.  

A while later, Mirna calls the mariachis back to the bar and tells them the place is opening up again.  She presents the funny looking guy in the crazy Denny’s horn rims and nose disguise as the new owner.  He wants them to talk Maria into singing with them—that’s the only way, but she’s not to know he’s the new owner.  The guys try to convince her to sing again with them, but she’s reluctant to dress up like a mariachi anymore because of all the Jorge Alfredo memories.  She finally accepts, tho’, after they guilt her into it.  They promised they’d always be together.

The night the curtain at the bar finally goes up again, Maria dedicates the song and the program to Santos.  Before she can start singing, up in the balcony JAntos begins singing.  She cries tears of disbelief and joy.  Fernando looks up and smiles, though he is shocked and also relieved to see his best bud alive and in the flesh.

At the end of the set Maria races up to the balcony and JA explains he had to fake his death in order to save all their family and friends’ lives.   They kiss and then he goes to the stage and shakes everybody’s hand.  Somehow all the guys have gotten their life’s wish and realize it must have been JA who managed it.  Although, for Fernando, his father’s freedom was not manageable, JAntos tells him.  

A few minutes later, Fernando is alone in the back area behind stage near the dressing rooms with his head in his hands.  He doesn’t hear his father approach.  When he looks up, there’s Don Nando, free at last and back in the barrio.  Turns out he’d never murdered anybody so they let him go.  He says he’d always planned on coming back to them but life played a terrible trick on him and his family.   The only thing missing for Fernando is Jalisquito.

Meanwhile, Elvira connects with a man in black pea coat and black leather gloves who she promises to help get revenge.  We never see his face.

Maria surprises her family by bringing the living Jorge Alfredo home with her.  Isa (whose baby daddy and mommy are never found out) is thrilled he’s back.

The next day Maria and JAntos, Justo and Wendy show Amalia and the girls their new fabulous mini-manse in the burbs.  Since she gave them a home when they needed one and never asked anything in return, they felt the least they could do was present her with this one.  Justo has also brought her the deed to the house in Guadalajara that she and Pedro had been so happy living in when first married.  Justo takes a moment to mention that he’s been offered the position as French Amabassador for Mexico, his life’s dream.  When Amalia worries that they’ll never see him again, Justo tells her that he believes she’ll see plenty of him—that is if she allows him to initiate a formal courtship.  She agrees.  (Viewerville boos.)

JAntos shows Isa her new bedroom and inside there’s a puppet theatre with lots of puppets, all hers now to play with whenever she wants.

Fernando is about to board the bus to Guadalajara to look for Jalisquito who has just gotten off the same bus and left his little gift guitar on the seat.  He and Fer pass each other in the bus station, but don’t notice one another.  Jalisquito remembers he left the guitar on the bus and gets to it just as it’s pulling away and Fer’s picked up the forgotten guitar.  Fer looks out the window and thankfully finally notices Jali standing on the station’s lot and gets the bus driver to stop and let him off.  They hug and all’s well with the world.  A couple of days later we see them going to a recording studio and Jali gets an agent(?) to listen as he cuts his first record--one of many we figure our boy wonder will make.

El Coloso comes home and Rodrigo is crying over Paloma again because apparently their last plan failed.  All Col can say is that there’s plenty of other fish in the sea and he’ll help him find another.

JAntos isn’t done with playing Santa yet.  He takes Maria to a beautiful high rise office building in the heart of beautiful downtown Mexico City and gives her the keys to her new law office for charity cases (QTH?)—er…women and children in need.  (Wouldn't they normally be in the barrio?)

Meanwhile, Aaron asks Pal to go steady.  She’s not sure she wants to and says they are really only friends.  Sindy is listening in the doorway and barges in to say that Aaron needs to tell her the truth: that he and Vanessa had a bet for an MP3 player full of top tunes that he could score [ligarse] with Paloma before Vanessa could score with Rodri.  He yells back that that was only at first, but since then he’d fallen in love with her.  Paloma slaps the craps out of him and races off to apologize to Rodrigo.  Pal and Rodri are a truesome twosome once more.  (Vanessa’s come-uppance was apparently left on the cutting room floor.)

Back at Ruben’s, hotel room, he and Elvira force Mirna to help with their plans of revenge towards Maria and JAntos or her daughter gets offed.  So, a bit later, while Maria is setting the table for a special dinner, Mirna comes in screaming and yelling that she has to come to the bar cuz Jorge Alfredo and Ruben are mixing it up over her or some such.  Maria races off to the bar but doesn’t seem to find anyone there.  Suddenly Crispy Critter with half his face melted is on the balcony clapping and asking for a personal performance.  His goons take her to a warehouse, tie her up, and gag her in a chair with a sword dangling up top of her head.  There’s a video set up and Elvira and Ruben are there to laugh at her misery.

Santos, meanwhile, has a feeling Maria’s in trouble and leaves to find her.  He’s kidnapped off the street by another set of goons who’ve we must assume been following him.  They bring him to a different warehouse with the same sword of Damocles set up where OG is waiting for him.  OG shows him the video-cam hook up and says they’ll watch each other suffer and die (huh?).  In between Maria’s tears and OG’s threats, Santos and Maria spit out their gags and profess their profound and everlasting love for each other.

Suddenly Juli sees Bruno appearing all around the room and threatening to take him to Hell.  Santos taunts Juli about his seeing ghosts.  Ruben and Evile-ra can’t understand what’s gotten into Juli and think he’s gone nutty.  Santos breaks free and, in the worst choreographed fight I’ve ever seen, overcomes Juli and manages to tie him up under the same sword.  Ruben thinks it’s some sort of a trick Juli’s played on them and he races over to the other warehouse to get even with Juli for letting Vargas escape. 

Outside, Santos runs into Derecho who tells him they know where Maria’s being kept.  Viewerville assumes that Mirna called Malo who called Derecho and Curtis.  They give Santos a lift with them.  Ruben shows up in the meantime and surprises Juli.  Rather than untying OG, he brings a box of something and sets fire to it.  Again, Viewerville assumes it’s some sort of bomb and that Ruben finishes what Santos started and that Bruno now has his cuz as a roomy.

Apparently, Vi escapes the warehouse and leaves Maria alone to be rescued.  Santos pulls her off the chair only seconds before the sword comes flying towards the empty chair.   

Ruben is back at the hotel room and throwing all the cash he made into a metal suitcase.  Vi enters and asks if he’s intended to leave her.  Yep.  There’s nothing between them, nothing in common, he explains snidely.  Each of them is better off going ther own way.  Ok, but she doesn’t have any money.  Too bad, says Ruben.  He turns his back on her for something and she pulls out a gun and shoots him in the back, taking the suitcase of cash with her.  (That's the last time any of us has to see that dude's crazy, bobble-headed smile.  Yippee!)

Sometime later, the whole barrio is full of mariachis playing Negrita and Que Bonita Amor and Si Nos Dejan, etc.  JAntos is dressed in a white charro and gets on his horse to lead the parade with the El Col and Fer.  They ride with the mariachis throughout the whole of Garibaldi til eventually, he joins Maria, who is dressed in her mariachi bridal gown.  Amalia is in her Mariachi finest also and doesn’t look half bad as she hands over Maria to JA.  JA and Maria chat about how today starts the rest of forever together.  She rides through the rest of Garibaldi in a carriage.  Justo shows up in the crowd and looks on.  

Eventually the parade ends back at the church again and El Coloso is there to walk her into the church and to give her away forever.  No, says Maria.  He’s her friend and will always be her brother.  Just then a beautiful blue-eyed blond friend of Maria’s walks up and is introduced to El Col who asks Maria if she believes in love at first site.  Maria says sure, cuz that’s the way it was for her and JAntos.

At the same time we get Evilera also dressed in a wedding dress swearing this is her wedding day.  The ceremony begins.  Somewhere in the middle of it, crazy Vi from the back of the church pulls a gun and aims it at Maria.  Out of nowhere, Lt. Curtis grabs her and grabs the gun from her.  She’s under arrest for Ruben’s murder and for the attempted murder of Maria.  Vi gives up without even a whimper.  (Who’d a thunk that?)  Just then the priest declares Santos and Maria man and wife and they kiss.
                                       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There’s an homage to mariachi’s and their world-wide appeal immediately following.  The cast is shown signing autographs for their fans who are in throngs along the barricades of the set.  Then the cast is all on an inside stage setting once again waving to Viewerville as the curtain at AJNTR Bar literally comes down on this performance and the screen reads ~~El FIN~~.  Yipee! We can now stick a fork in it cuz it's done!

Qué Bonito Amor #123 (Mex 161) Thursday 10/3/13 Que Desordenado Camino al Fin

Santos heads back to the prison to collect his stuff, now that he's been freed.  Justo gloats just a tiny bit to Mr. "I'm Unbeatable" Summers.

Santos moons over Maria's pictures while she stands by the Emergency Traje and strokes her flat belly.

Summers' talk with Giuliano via cell phone, wherein he threatens OG that he has enough evidence to bring him down, is overheard by the judge.  The judge orders Summers to hand over the evidence and the cell phone.

The mariachis start to promote the event, putting up posters.

Santos is summoned to…um…er…fill out paperwork…yeah…by OG's pet guard.

Ruben rips a poster off the wall, saying he and Maria are going to have a lot of fun tonight.

The guard points a gun at Santos in some dark hall of the prison dungeons.

Elvira is grumpy about the event at the bar, but OG tells her she's going to walk in there like a goddess, dripping with jewels…but first, there's something she's gotta do….

OG's guard gets busted by the warden and a couple of other guards.

La Tempestad, Capitulo 49, Thursday October 3, 2013, The Passing of Madre Eusebia

-->  
Sometimes, in story or in truth, a single character so closely mirrors the common values of a community that she or he can be said to be the ‘soul’ of the story. Such was the character of Madre Eusebia in La Tempestad.

This capitulo follows the happenings in the village of Nuestra Señor del Mar, Veracruz, surrounding the passing of Eusebia; shaman, curandera, holy woman, godmother of the story’s protagonist and the kind beating heart of Our Lady of the Sea.

Eusebia Is Missing

Damian has discovered that his godmother, Eusebia did not sleep in her bed last night. He is very alarmed and goes to Neptune Fish Packing to gather his crew of fisherman to search for the missing Eusebia. We, on the other hand, see Eusebia lying apparently bruised and broken at the foot of a cliff, deep in the jungle. Her eyes are closed and it is unclear as to whether she yet lives.

The sailors and Capitan Damian conduct a thorough search of the rugged jungle where Eusebia is known to gather her herbs. The searchers cry, “Madre Eusebia!” and Damian calls for his Madrina, but no one answers. After a while the guys come together in a place that Damian notices has SUV tire tracks—probably A TOURIST notes El Oso and the group decides to go on looking for Eusebia.

“Eusebia”! Their cries ring through the jungle. But no one answers.

Corazon Indomable Cap. 103 – 10/3/13 -- MariCruz’ Party Plans Are Stomped Flat By a Real Party Pooper



The Condensed Version
            With the family (Solita, monkey Chango, nameless nephew with the unfortunate resemblance to Ewwsebio) back at Rancho Abuelo, it’s time for a celebration. MariCruz is planning a baptism for Lupita and wants it to be a fabulous social event. 
            (I’m puzzled—Lupita is a year old, yet I don’t recall seeing her eat any solid food. It’s always a bottle. Also, I’ve never seen her crawling or attempting to stand or walk. She’s always in a crib or someone’s arms. I guess some developmental stuff happens off-camera.  Also, shouldn’t nameless nephew be baptized so he has a name, or is he forever anonymous?)
            Enough quibbling. MariCruz’ efforts in behalf of the party have a ripple effect, in that:
Tav and MC have an accidental meeting at the only toy store in town and it flows into an illicit luncheon make out session; Solita meets a handsome young man and sparks fly for a potential romance; a betrayal by Jose Antonio turns the party into a disaster (unless a recovery happens in the next episode).
            While these events are centered at MC’ hacienda, some familiar themes play out at Rancho Simona and the Realengo settlement.  Miguel is still waiting to regain his freedom from justice. Simona is still waiting for her husband to get with the program.  MariCruz is waiting for her feudal village new neighborhood development to open for business. Aaand, those are the bare bones.  Some semi-juicy details follow below.

La Tempestad Capitulo 48, Wed 10/2/13 - Fulgencio’s interesting day, Eusebia’s bad day, JazLu’s good day, and Hernan’s crappy party.

 


Tu madre no es mala. (Or is she?)
Padre T wants Laz to make up with his mom, they haven’t spoken in six months. Laz doesn’t want to reconcile because ShutupRosy the big fatmouth hypocrite can’t keep her yap shut about JazLu. Rosy rejects JazLu and she will never change. Padre T tells Laz to arm himself with patience and eventually things will fall into place and their family, including JazLu (yes he really said this), will be united. I say the Padre’s been guzzling the communion wine if he really believes this.


Ernesto is tired of Mercedes deliberately buggering up his business deals. He tells Macario it’s time to take care of her once and for all. He’s got a plan...

Qué Bonito Amor #122 (Mex 160) Wednesday 10/2/13 Santos is exonerated, Mirna’s secret is out, Rodri’s done w/Paloma. Whatever.

D.F.

Refrito:  The Mendoza women (y el perro tambien) celebrate their reunion;  Colosso clobbers Ruben who announces he's planning to close JNTR and suggests turning it into a parking lot maybe. 

Fer and Ruben exchange war of words, ending with Ruben repeating that he's planning to close JNTR and he has Mirna to back him up.

Mirna agrees the bar is in its worst crisis, and indeed most businesses do see some hard times.  It would be in the owners' best interest to close at this time.  Susanito disagrees:  he's not interested in money.  He's only interested in keeping the mariachis and himself employed.  She reminds him she was the administrator of this here bar for many years, playing intermediary between them and Concho.  Fer accuses her of only watching out for her own interests.  She claims people change and actually proposes they don't close the bar and allow the mariachis an opportunity to run the bar and see if they can make a profit.  Ruben is muy impactado – not a happy camper. Mirna looks like she's got something up her sleeve.

PEAM # 147 (10-2-13) Let's start with a Tama-xóchi​tl

Recap By Pablo


Sisters, sisters, there was never such lunatic sisters
(You can not make one out of the two of them)

Marcia is ecologist, Marta is ecoloca. I am not sure which one is the crazy and which one the ''sane'', because I doubt that the idea of impersonating one another to follow through the evil plans regarding little Valentina was Marcia's. Unless she is craziER. 
Leaving Marcia at the ''Casa de la Risa'' Marta presents herself pretending to be her twin sister at the García Montemayor manor. Jesús has a bad feeling about it and so does Chatita, who feels some kind of bad vibrations from her. Marta, maybe not knowing what an ecologist looks like, chose to dress as a hippie from the 60s, with feather earrings, a thin shoelace on her forehead, batik dress, cork sandals  and all... I am sure she's got pot in her pierce!
To make matters worse, when asked, she says she was in Africa not hunting lions, but saving the rhinoceros and the platypuses. After a brief lapse when her brain plays a little trick on her, making her remember setting the house on fire, Chatita asks her, are you all right, bomba? 
-Me? sorry, I was just thinking on how funny that word was... 
-Don't tell me you mean the platypuses...

Marta/Marcia/Gollum slides when they asked her, have you seen Valentina yet?

-Oh, yes, she looks a lot like little Jimena, my dau- I mean, my sister Marta's daughter, she is so pretty, so cute, so little and adorable. Precious. I love her, I LOVE HER!!! Please let me see her again!! Oh, sorry, I got carried away thinking of the platypuses! (giggle)
Later, when Marta leaves and while hugging Jesús, Chatita gives her ''the eye'' and then tells him that she felt that ''je ne sais quoi que je ne sais pas'' that all women feel sooner or later and that she is afraid, very afraid...
Later on, while in bed getting ready for  nookie, Alma asks Jesús what would he prefer? A boy or a girl? And he say both, just like Rai... wouldn't be great? Valentina loves her...

La Tempestad Cap #47. October 1st 2013. It Is Getting DamHot In R-Laydee Because His DamHotness Is Back

Good Morning Everyone! I'm working on the recap. In the meantime you all can discuss this episode here. Short summary of the episode - DamFab is free; Bagre drools over Ursula; Lots of eavesdropping on the bad guys; Robles gets an early start on Halloween; A nauseating marriage proposal; And a very distasteful stolen kiss. Oh and many people try to urge our lovebirds to get back together.

We begin in Mexico City, where Magda is threatening to slit her wrists with a broken piece of glass. Magda screams. Mercedes screams. Magda wants booze. Mercedes refuses to give her booze. Alicia and Chauffeur come into the room. Mercedes grabs Magda by the arm and pins her down on the bed. She runs off to get something leaving Alicia and Chauffeur holding Magda down. 

Eavesdropping #1
In R-Laydee, Hernan is on the phone and telling Fulgencio about the DamAppeal. Hernan wants Fulgencio to eliminate Raul Suarez, the owner of the sailboat, because he could rat them out. Marcelino eavesdrops from afar. Fulgencio will be sending Dumb and Dumber err Valdivia and Lara to give Suarez a scare. Not sure why they keep on using these guys for their dirty work. They should know by now that they are useless. Anyway, Fulgencio says that he'll be heading off to Mexico City. He'll be hiring a lawyer too so DamFab can DamRot in the slammer. 

At the slammer, DamFab is taken to solitary confinement. He speaks up and says Dragon started the fight. Evil Guard socks him in the stomach. DamFab is thrown into solitary confinement.

Qué Bonito Amor #121 (Mex 159) Tuesday 10/1/13 As JAntos slumbers . . .

Que Bonito Amor, Oct. 1, 2013, Cap 159—As JAntos slumbers . . .

Sleeping Beauty: JAntos spends most of this episode prone and unconscious.

SUMMARY (typed as I watched): 

Refried: Ana chewing the adoption people a new one for losing Jalesquito. Isa telling Coloso that Don Concho killed one of her dads (Pedro).

Maria figuring out via nice lady on bus that she might be pregnant. This thrills her.

Happy to think she's got JAntos's bun in her oven.

THE NEW:

Aaron and Rodrigo do a musical number together as they fight for Paloma's heart. It's kind of weird.

She has to deal with these nutty boys.

Blah blah blah love triangle we don't care blah blah blah.

CI #101: In Which Jose A Suffers Multiple Personality Disorder; Tav Proves He’s Still All Beefcake and No Brass; Simona Turns Her Rancho into Fort Knox; and Twinsebio Puts Plan B into Play

Unfortunately, gang, last night's broadcast down here was butchered by damaged cable/problem satellites? and thus I had garbled video, mostly no sound and lots of unintelligible CC's for 2/3 of the show.  Finally all three parts are up.  Enjoy.  Cursed be Comcast and all its future iterations!!!

Parte 1~~



Lo del Pasado: 


Octavio swears he has a conscience and tells Miguel from his sickbed that he’d be a bastard to cheat on Simona with Maricruz after the way she repeatedly and roundly rejected his attempts at reconciliation.  No, he opines, they’ll grow old and gray before they’ll ever be able to talk civilly to each other again.  MC, on the other hand is forced to admit to herself that this venganza thing is not as great as she thought.  She’s got an itch that only Tav can scratch and she’s ready to play passive pussycat and purr, if only she could…. 

Jose Antonio has decided to reverse tack and stop being MC’s loyal lapdog; he’ll start treating Esther (his own personal lapdog) with some well-deserved respect from now on.  Esther notes a change in the surly slug she’s now married to now that he’s promised her his days of acting like a dirt poor, ignorant campesino are over.  He’s going to treat her right, feed her right (so maybe this time their baby won’t starve to death in the womb?) and they’ll live in something other than a shack. He will see that they won’t lack for anything!  Esther secretly suspects that JA finally realizes he’s sick and tired of being MC’s doormat.



Lo Del Nuevo:


MC notes JA’s late to work and when she asks him why he’s late they quibble about the fact that he’s put preggers de Esther’s well being ahead of hers and the Realengo riff and raff.  She offers by way of apology to kill two birds with one stone and says that since time’s short they can go into town together to buy what each of them needs.  He balks at the idea.  Nope, his family and HIS house come first, especially now that she’s pregnant. MC can’t believe he cares for Esther that much.  He has to treat somebody like Esther, a rich gal who gave up everything to live at his groveling level should be treated, with kid gloves and given the best of the best.  MC says chuck the inferiority complex, little bro.  it doesn’t suit you!  And dump the attitude, while you’re at it.  Why are you such a gritch all of a sudden? What have I done to you, anyway?

PEAM, Tuesday 10/1/13 (#146): The Honey-nooners

Where were we? Oh right, Mad Marta, cleverly disguised in a forehead-braid to pass as her impetuous sister, visits Chucho at Avon. He is momentarily startled, but then accepts her as Marcia. (Someone with a more suspicious nature might question whether the real Marcia would wear her forehead-braid so crooked, but Chucho is a trusting soul.) She tells him Marta's doing better lately, but she still feels terribly guilty about what happened. Chucho says tell her to forget about it, because luckily nothing bad happened. But that's not enough! Fake-Marcia says that Marta needs his forgiveness. Chucho says, in that case, tell her I forgive her.

Fake-Marcia then presses her luck, saying she'd like to see Valentina again. Chucho says, "I told you I'd let you know." Well, she also wanted to meet Alma. He says she's pregnant at home. Fake-Marcia gets a weird gleam in her eye. Why doesn't he give her their address, and she'll visit them at home? Then she realizes she's overdoing it, backpedals, and gives Chucho her phone number so he can call her instead.

The real Marcia, cleverly disguised in a hospital gown to pass as her crazy sister, accidentally calls the doctor "Doctor" instead of his first name. After their session, which we don't get to see, she asks herself why it didn't occur to her before that Marta could go bananas without her medication.

As Fake-Marcia leaves the office, we hear her telling Chucho that she'd love to have dinner with him and Alma. (It's not clear if he invited her in between scenes, or if she's just hoping.) She introduces herself to Susana, Jessica, Marisela, and Ricardo, who don't seem to think she's any saner than her sister.

Corazon Indomable, Episode #100, Monday, September 30, 2013 “Little Red Riding Hood Sneaks Into the Big Bad Wolf’s Den”



 Recap by LatinaInMD


Viewerville is introduced to a cute new ranch hand chatting it up with Ms. Nasty Natasha, when JackAss suddenly rides up on his horse. 

Meanwhile, Octavio and Maricruz have once again run into each other in the vast open fields of Tamaulipas.  She is wearing a crimson hi-low skirt with a white top.  He is wearing his usual jeans, shirt, and the single belt he owns.  He demands to know when Maricruz is going to stop bugging him and his family.  By “bugging” them, he means that she just wants to ruin herself to mortify him and roll against the current.  How dare she plan to build homes for poor homeless people when she has already given them land?  Does she want to turn her daughter into one of “them”?  He insists she let them fend for themselves, then two seconds later asks if she thinks he is so “insensitive” as to not feel for their plight. (Uh, yeah, it sure seems like it.)  She reminds him he cares about no one but himself, and besides he doesn’t know what it’s like to feel hunger and desolation, while she knows it because she has lived it.  As usual, what begins as a fairly calm discussion ends in screams, with Maricruz getting the upper hand by questioning Octavio’s manhood.  He orders her to shut up, but instead she adds:  “What are you going to do, allow yourself to be governed by Simona?  She named you her administrator so she could handle you like a puppet?  What are you in that house, Octavio Narvaez?  Nothing more than a breeding stud (“semental”)……”  Mercifully, they suddenly hear a woman screaming for help.

Natasha tells JackAss that she would love to see his nude torso, and faster than Flash Gordon he whips off his shirt to reveal to her what we must assume is a less than studly torso, since Mrs. Mejia didn’t see fit to show it to Viewerville.
