Mentir Para Vivir #28 Wed 11/13/13 JL makes Oriana an offer she can’t refuse, or can she?



Table for Two
JL tries to get Oriana back but he's not getting anywhere. She's not willing to forgive and forget.  He begs for forgiveness for this one error.  After all she's suffered, she can't believe he'd ask her for forgiveness.  Yeah, he can see how she's suffering, kissing another man!  She admits she has a novio.  She had to have a reason to move forward and besides, she had been told JL was dead. She tells him Lucina and Raquel are the only ones who know her true identity.

PEAM #177- 11/13/13: The End Is Near, Repent Veronica! Look to Jesus, Jesus Loves You (Sorry, We Don't Mean Garcia)!


Recap By Pablo

This is the recap of a very stupid episode (I am so glad this ordeal is almost over)

Fo-fo-for you, Je-je-Jesús, the sky is the li- is the li- is the limit!

It's weird that this stutterer friend of Jesús, whom he considers almost his brother, was not seen (or heard of) in any of the 175 previous episodes. I guess he had to be a stutterer because that's funny (to who is not), specially when they always start their phrases with what we think would be a bad word, but when they finally say it, it turns out it was not!! It was not funny 20 years ago and is still not funny. Popó, popó, por favor haz caca, haz caca, camino al andar!

It wouldn't hurt to try, if you could handle the truth...

Patricia is talking to Delia in the hope that she allows Rogelio a special permit to attend her best friend's big wedding. Sorry Charlie, 
1) Delia is out of town and
2) Personal matters are not to interfere with prison regulations

Heartbroken, Patricia starts walking aimlessly. Her brain orders her legs to move, but her heart has stopped responding... meanwhile, unbeknownst to her, in Avon's media room she is being awaited... without her, there could be NO WEDDING!!

Mentir Para Vivir #27 Tue 11/12/13 You Mess with Her, You Mess with Me! Capische?


Aresti Breton, Ricky’s Office:  Lila and Berto have shown up unannounced.  Lila would like to recommend a new investor group that wants to partner with Aresti Breton in South America and Europe.  Francisco Castro is her contact’s name.  Upon hearing that name, Oriana practically jumps out of her skin.  Ricky immediately agrees and says that they want to introduce Mr. Castro to the board.  Oriana also thinks it’s a good idea, but she wants to consult with Paloma first.  Oriana asks for the name of the company.  Where are their accounts?  Berto says that they have a lot of accounts in the Cayman Islands.  All Rich people have accounts in the Cayman Islands.  Ricky abruptly ends the meeting.  After the siblings leave, Oriana tells Ricky that Francisco Castro was the name of the man who was in the restaurant.  She’s certain that Francisco is really Jose Luis.  If Francisco Castro invests, the money is dirty.  Ricky says that may be the case, but it’s better to keep your enemies close to you. They will do whatever Paloma says.  Oriana says that Paloma will do whatever Ricky says, so that does not comfort her.

La Tempestad Cap #77. November 12th 2013. Repeat After Me: "They All Warned You Marina But You Didn't Listen!"

Ep #115 and #116 were combined tonight. Scenes out of order. No color combination tonight since I did a lot of combining to make the recap flow better. 

Ep #115 

Fully Confesses His Love 
Magda and Marina can't quite understand Fully's concern for their mother. Fully questions them about Claudio. Magda responds: "He's a friend of my mother's". Fully confesses his unrequited love for Mercedes. It was unrequited because Mercedes loved Michel Fabre. Fully excuses himself and leaves. 

On La Tempestad: 

Thank you, Mejia for the DamFineAbs view! 

The bullet is removed and Bagre disinfects the DamWound. While DamFab is in pain, over in viewerville we can't help but enjoy the view of his DamFineAbs. 

DamFab tells Bagre and Lolo about Marina's marriage to Hernan. They are so impactados with the news they each chug down some booze. DamNeedsSomeBoozeToo wants some booze too and is given some to chug down. DamFab tells Bagre and Lolo that Marina was forced into marriage with Hernan. DamFab will plan his next step. He'll rescue Marina and his daughter without putting them at risk. He'll lay low so Hernan thinks he's DamDead. That way Hernan will be taken by surprise with his return. 

There is a lot of back and forth with this: DamFab wants to rescue Marina and his daughter. He could care less about the DamWound. DamFab doesn't want the DamWound checked on while the crew insists it get checked on. This goes on for several scenes until DamFab FINALLY agrees to the DamWound getting checked on.

PEAM, Tuesday 11/12/13 (#176): Hugs, Kisses, Clues, and Dead Ends

After work, Ferni and Xochi visit Fernando's dad at the old folks' home. Dad is aquiver with tentative excitement and Parkinson's. He's been keeping up with his sons' lives through the newspapers; he read about Fernando's wedding and Rogelio's imprisonment. Maybe someone should tell him about these recaps.

Dad is remorseful and contrite about being such a lousy father; he doesn't blame Fernando for not having visited sooner. Fernando explains that Rogelio actually told him that their father was dead. Dad doesn't blame Rog for that, either. Fernando tells him not to dwell on the past - there's still the future, and five new grandchildren on the way!

Dad says it was worth the wait to finally see Fernando again. Fernando forgives him, and they hug.

It's Friday the 7th of June, by the way. Valentina is aghast that her father and Alma have to wait nearly a year and a half to get married in the cathedral of their choice. (It's where Alma's parents got married. Look how well that marriage turned out!) Then the phone rings. Guess who it is? Guess!

CI #131 -- Lost and Found: Simona Misplaces The Mini-Tav While Nilda Makes Contact With Solita



We settle in for another round of redneck hobsnobbery as the doc is informing Esther, Octavio and Miguel that Jose Antonio will be off the job for the next two weeks, and admits that he has a legal duty to report the shooting.  Esther goes in to chat with her hubby while Migui and Tav ask if the doc knows who shot JA and why.  The doc tells them what JA told him: that it was a tenant from Rancho Narvaez over some personal dispute.  (Sorry, Doc, but the name’s been changed to El Abuelo.  I suppose they forgot to make the script change…..)  Tav thinks out loud saying he’s relieved it wasn’t about “her”…..la Sra. Maricruz.  Migui does a quick verbal shuffle explaining how Esther and she don’t get along and that perhaps JA wanted to avoid having to mention her name. The doc says nope, nothing like that and then takes his leave.  Migui does another mental number on Tav to make him continue to doubt MC’s good character when it comes to other men in the region.

Mentir Para Vivir #26 Mon 11/11/13 Mentir para engañar a la tonta de Lila



Jose Luis is explaining Eliseo that he bailed on Raquel’s inauguration party because he can’t be seen by his wife just yet. Idiot Eliseo thinks this is Corazon Indomable and some beard and a different hair could forbid Oriana from recognizing her husband, but JL knows better.
Joaquin calls just then and JL explains that he found the company to use for their lavado de dinero (money laundering) – they don’t need the capital, but he’s sure he can pull off the transaction. We don’t hear how much money they’ll “invest”, but it’s a lot.
Eliseo tries to find out what is the deal, but JL puts him in his place.

Casa Bonita is getting ready for the big opening, with a pool filled of flower petals. Nice.

Ruben is getting all dressed up to go to the party; since Madhilde wasn’t invited, she wants him to refuse attendance, too – normally, I’d agree with the wife in situations like this, but this is Maddy, so she has it well deserved.
She thinks they should have at least invited her as a gesture and if she can’t go, then Ruben won’t either. But he really, really wants to go – and he states this in a ridiculous childish voice, like he was a 10 year old going to his first sleep over.
Maddy accuses him of sleeping with one of the women, el desgraciado!

Oriana, Alina, Ricardo and Paloma arrive at the party; Lucina welcomes them, as Raquel looks on. Then she notices that Lucina is searching for Ruben in the crowd. Raquel explains that Francisco isn’t attending because he’s in a business trip; Lucina implies that something might be going on between Raquel and Francisco, because, you know, she’s Raquel.

La Tempestad, November 11, 2013. Capitulo 76.

DamFab comes to tell his daughter and Marina good night. Ungrateful Marina tells him there is no need. Just because their daughter was born doesn't mean anything has changed. Estercita is still expecting a another child of his. DamFab reminds her that it was a set-up. Marina recognizes that, but he let himself fall victim. DamFab feels that the baby Estercita is expecting is not his. He asks her to have confidence in him. He loves her. They kiss.

Mexico City: Crazy Hernan tells Ernesto how much he really hates him. You have turned me into a man without scruples. He pulls out a gun. Ernesto asks him if he would kill his own father. Crazy eyed Hernan tells him to come up with a better lie. Ernesto says he is not afraid of death and is not lying. But you told me you killed by parents replies Hernan. Ernesto says I ordered the man who raised you to die. I liked your mother but she kept rejecting me. So that is why I took her by force. Shut up! yells Hernan. You are making me tell you everything and you will know the truth. She kept quiet so that I wouldn't do anything to her husband. Somehow he found out the truth and that is why I ordered for them both to be killed. How can you talk about this coldly? Ernesto says in this type of business there are no feelings. That is why I never told you where they were buried. There was no reason for you to mourn them. Crazy eyed Hernan grabs Ernesto and says he's going to kill him. Ernesto dares him to shoot the man that gave him life. Crazy eyed Hernan tells Ernesto he detests him. He can't kill him, but life is a b!tch and it will make him pay for all he has done. Ernesto says he knew that Hernan didn't have the balls to do it. Ernesto tells Hernan that even though he has become a traitor, he can't kill him since he is his son. Hernan says he preferred to never know that Ernesto is his father. I would rather have died not knowing the truth. He leaves.

PEAM #175, Nov. 11 - Penultimate Monday - A Night Without Veronica Is A Night To Party, Party, Party


With heartfelt thanks to our military men and women who give so much to their country, I hope we all observed and honored this Veterans Day (named Veterans Day in 1954) was established in 1919 and re-dedicated in 1938 as Armistice Day, November 11, celebrated and dedicated to the cause of world PEACE. Anyway, happy holiday to our heroes!!

But enough for now we need to see Yuri approaching the doomed Rogelio at the prison that has become so like a fraternity meet up until Yuri steps into the cafeteria to scare the recovering wheel chair bound curly top.  Both looked like there are great barbers in the prison.

Jesus is rushing to set up interference in the prison but Yuri's flunkies roll Rogelio to his date with Picadillo.  Yuri waves a plastic spoon letter opener or juarever while he threatens but the wheel chair is left empty while Rogelio stabs Yuri with his weapon, suddenly when Jesus can get no action from the police because they haven't heard any death screams, the death screams come from a bloodied Yuri.  Rather than being astounded in fear, the adoring Yuri crowd celebrates the fall of the giant and Jack rides off in triumph for the moment.

Chatita's diagnosis of sore throat is confirmed by the real doctor who assures her and Alma that baby Luisa is perfectly well.

Corazon Indomable #130, 11/11/13: Ren & Stimpy Rule the World!...uhm, the Ranch!; Who Shot JA?



You keep your dream, and I'll keep the money! – Ren & Stimpy
Ren and Stimpy, aka Miguel and Tav, discuss taking over the world, uhm… $imona’s ranch. Dimwitted Stimpy agrees to put the management of $imona’s lands in Ren’s eager greedy hands. Tav will do the legal paper work. Happy-happy, joy-joy! (Ren & Stimpy)

Miguel knocks back a double shot of tequila, and convinces Tav that it’s best that no one else know just how crazy Simona is. But then he turns around and tries once again to convince Tav to lock her up, since she could be a danger to both of their sons. Tav refuses.

At Rancho Abuelo, MC and Juanita ream Perico out about impregnating Solita, especially given that Solita is still recovering from pneumonia and is in delicate health. Perico doesn’t seem to understand how this could be (uhm, shall we explain it with dolls or stick figures?). MC insists that they need to be married by the Church, immediately. Juanita is a little less understanding and calls him a criminal! After the dumb shock wears off, Perico seems to be happy about the news, but for some stupid reason he doesn’t mention that he and Solita are already married by law (por el civil). He does say that he loves Solita. He has no family and was raised like an animal in the mountains (that explains a lot!). MC is cool with him, as long as he doesn’t leave his child in the same wild animal conditions. And he needs a plan for supporting his woman and his two kids. He assures them that this wasn’t Solita’s fault and they love each other. Juanita’s ready to tear him a new one, but MC thinks what’s done is done, and now they need to get the Padre to marry them. Then MC scolds Juanita for her part in not preventing the horny teenagers from having sex, because that’s the priority when there are two toddlers to look after. Perico runs upstairs to see Solita, and MC waxes romantic about leaving the kids alone to enjoy their sweet romance (well, the damage IS already done).

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: THE FRONT PAGE, week of November 11, 2013. La Reina del Sur is back in town!


Jean and I decided to try something a little different this week.  Since there is already a lot of interest in the continuing novelas, Marido en Alquiler and Santa Diabla, and the rebroadcast of La Reina del Sur is likely to stir up a flurry of its own, we have decided to post THREE SEPARATE PAGES:

This page -- THE FRONT PAGE --  is the space for discussions of La Reina del Sur, ¿Dónde Está Elisa? and any other Telemundo, Unimas or Mundo2 shows.

Feel free to copy and paste our old comments and recaps of La Reina here.  Some of us have seen this one, maybe more than once, and are planning to sit out this showing.  But if you have already seen the novela and want to join the conversation, please go ahead!  But remember that this remains a SPOILER-FREE page.

Novelera has offered to write a full recap of the first episode of La Reina del Sur to get things started.  After that, you can figure out what you'd like to do -- recap? mini-recap? just discuss? borrow from the past? It's up to you, Telemundo fans!


Remember:  Post comments and mini-recaps (or not so mini-recaps)  for Santa Diabla on its own separate page here; and for Marido en Alquiler on its own separate page here.

La Tempestad #75- 11/8/13- Que Lastima!!!!



Ahoy my Tempestad Maties. This recap brought to you by a little ditty I changed the words to. Please grab your coffee, your tea, your rum, your dark and stormy, juarever and sing along as you read this recap. Also deleted scenes will be in my favorite color Purple.


The Tale of The Tempestad (Sung to the theme song for "Gilligan's Island")

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,

A tale of a fateful trip

That started on a hot August night

Aboard this network UNI

The recappers were a mighty bunch

The viewers all were glued to WL

We passengers set sail that day for a three month tour

A three month tour

The ratings started getting rough

The scissors them came out

If not for the courage of the fearless recappers

This Tempest would be lost

This Tempest would be lost.

This Tempest found a lovely home on Caray Caray

With Gloria, and Mauricio

The Capitan and NovelaMaven

Elna June and Madelaine too and of course

The viewers and commenters too,

Here on Caray Caray.
Marina tells DamSad she promised to marry Herny, her word is her bond, yadda, yadda, that's it!

Laz and SHUTUPROSY having a chat, about why he was gonna be killed and who was gonna kill Laz. No never mind about that. Why didn't she tell him who the bebe daddy of Laz was? Fully took advantage of her, yadda, yadda, he married Delfina. Laz always wondered why Fully was always trying to help him. Doesn't want Fully in his life. SHUTUPROSAY wants to know what Laz is gonna do, now that he knows?

Porque el Amor Manda #174: More Monkeyshines

[Done from memory, without notes...because WHY SHOULD I WORK HARDER THAN THE WRITERS?]

 
Roger gets all prettied up for the jailhouse wedding. We know he's a good guy now coz they finally found him some shoes that don't clash with his suit. Paty has more fabric in her left sleeve than the whole rest of her dress, casual. They kind of fast-forward through the ceremony, which in typical Mexican fashion has five times more document-signing than kissing, but juarevs -- everyone's all smiles. No lasso of love, but I guess it's not the venue. Domi catches the bouquet, and she and Cantu do the happy dance.

Afterward the beaming couple repair to the rose-petal strewn prison infirmary conjugal suite, where Paty strips down to a particularly fetching Federico's of Monterrey number that has Rog's eyes popping. She bounces around on the bed, urging him to come and get it, rise and shine, throw away those crutches and walk, baby -- and he does! It's sort of a cross between Joanna Spyri's Heidi and a Viagra commercial, and yes, that's as creepy as it sounds. I don't think the monkeys should be allowed to collaborate. They have such different visions.

Corazon Indomable Episode #129: The Various Coats of Octavio Narvaez



We begin with JA/MC discussing Simona. MC wants the Narvaez family to feel the pain she felt when they kidnapped Lupita (Too bad, I don’t think either of them care about Simona that much). However, since she is much better in character because she agrees to let JA take her back home. (The talk about something that I did not quite catch but I believe it referred to MC suspecting JA about something).

Simona returns to her house without a care in the world. She informs our two upstanding men of honor (insert dripping sarcasm here) that she just came back from a pleasant visit with Lucia. Miguel looks shocked while Octavio is worried. She bids them goodnight and tells them that they better go back home because Lucia is waiting. The minute she leaves McGreedy is quick to say Octavio should detain her in a crazy house. Octavio who decided wear his “Bleeding heart” coat today is appalled by Miguel brashness. He will care for Simona till his dying day (yea..whatever, I’ve heard that before).  Lets digress and discuss the various coats in Octavio’s closet…. lets see we have jerk, insensitive, romantic (no worries this coat is hidden with much dust over it). Then we have his most worn out coat all, which is stupidity; actually I do not think he ever takes that off. 

Sorry back to the show…. Miguel does not like JA giving his opinions on these matters. JA reminds them that if he goes down…they will too (uh oh). Octavio decides to borrow someone’s “wise saying” coat and warns Miguel…. this is why you shouldn’t involve yourself with delinquents.

Mentir Para Vivir #25 Fri 11/8/13 Bad Boy Berto Gets Bagged; Ricardo and Oriana Get Tagged

Cap. #25


At Paloma’s expansive manse Oriana, aka 2nes, is pacing the floors and driving Paloma (as well as Viewerville) crazy worrying about Ricardo’s safety.  If she’s that worried, suggests Paloma with wizened certitude, she should never have broken off their relationship.  2nes says no, they should never have allowed one to develop in the first place!

Across town at their new B&B, Lucina and Raquel are discussing their list of invitees to their upcoming open house.  Lucina mentions that Raqi needs to be a bit more tolerant of Oriana since she’s going through a bad spell.  The cause?  It seems that Jose Luis never really died and is now in Hermosillo!  Raqi’s first thought is that he’ll bring the Colombian authorities down on all their heads and Oriana and the two of them will end up being cellmates.   Perhaps the Colombian authorities figured to follow him here so they could track down his wife, suggests Raqi.  No, they’d have already pounced if that was the case, reasons Lucina.  He no doubt escaped and is here to get his wife and daughter back!  “—Poor Oriana!  She’s walking an emotional tightrope about now!”  Cara de serves-the-wench-right de Raqi.

Weekend Discussion: Karmageddon for La Tempestad and PEAM denizens

I have basically ignored these two series for the most part because I'm not into comedies and because William Levy does nothing for me.  However, since both of these are ending very shortly, the Karmageddons of their villains should be a hot topic that deserves its own discussion.

Mentir Para Vivir #24 Thu 11/7/13 Planificar para Atrapar


Paloma tells Ricardo that she can't talk to Inés about her past, she doesn't want to embarrass her.  She figures Inés must be upset still because of the anonymous letter, but Ricardo disagrees.  Lina shows up to chastise Ricardo for not taking her to the fair and buying her a hamburger and a ginormous milkshake.  Ricardo says they can go right away, but she needs to get her mom's permission. Paloma begs off joining them.  As Lina goes off to get permission, Paloma tells Ricardo she's also supposed to be throwing Lina a party, though she hasn't gotten started yet.  Ricardo fills Paloma in on Maria's new medication and Sebastian's same crappy attitude.

Inés doesn't want to go to the fair and she doesn't want Lina to go either.  Lina tries yelling, then she tries pouting, but Inés won't budge.  Even pleading won't work.

Ricardo tells Paloma that he's wondering if Sebastian is really his son.  He explains that when they were young Maria once ran away from the house and when he found her, she was flirting with some guy, so now he's wondering if maybe Maria was "promiscuous."  Paloma doesn't believe it.  She suggests asking Celio what he knows, since he's been with the family for so long.  Inés shows up with her fake excuses why Lina can't go to the fair and raises Paloma's suspicions…Paloma assumes the blackmailer has been in contact and is now threatening Lina.  This forces Inés to admit that, no, Lina hasn't been threatened, but the blackmailer has been in contact.  Paloma wants to just pay them, but Ricardo argues that they'll never be able to stop once they start.  Ricardo wants to look at Inés computer and Paloma tells her to have Lina come to her (Paloma's) room to play.

La Tempestad, Thursday November 7, 2013 —No Puede Ser


Miami, Florida
A Penthouse Apartment

To: Señor Televisa Ejecutivo
Senior Vice President
International Programming Sales


Dear Señor Ejecutivo:

I am writing to inform you of my progress in combining ‘La Tempestad’ with Disney’s ‘Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride’. At the risk of sounding too self-congratulatory I must say that things are going splendidly.

I am settling in to my ‘day job’ at Univision in Miami and no one suspects that I am on a mission from Corporate Televisa to undermine the mental health of the American TN viewing audience.  This editing position is a piece of cake—really, I could just cut and chop at random and I think few would notice.

However, Don Televisa, (I am always your humble servant) I took your suggestion and used my time wisely whilst recuperating in Los Angeles. I faithfully went to the tanning and massage salon that you suggested and I took frequent field trips to Disneyland with that unsophisticated dolt, Nareo.
