La Gata #64 11/28/14 La Maldad

La moral, la conciencia y la vergüenza
Mariano thanks El Sil again for helping him. El Sil thinks if Mariano was about to commit an offense, he had his reasons, but he also had the strength to stop himself. Morality and conscience has made Mariano a good person. When Mariano asks about shame, El Sil tells him to never forget it since it can keep a person from committing the same offense twice (which he phrases as "tropezar con la misma piedra"--tripping over the same stone. A classic TN phrase.)

Mi Corazon es Tuyo #93

I'm going to post this for today, I'm not sure if Jardinera is going to do the recap since we haven't heard from her. I sincerely hope all is well with her and she's just on a nice long vacation enjoying beautiful weather somewhere. I will take this down if she does post her recap.

Highlights:
Diego’s operation is successful, they stop the internal bleeding and he’s going to be fine. Except that both of his are damaged and need further operations to make them usable.

Nico learns about what happened to Diego.

Isa gets a housekeeper and is finally showing and doesn’t fit into her clothes. She’s very upset by this.

Ana needs a night off from her dancing job, Doroteo insists she work 4 days the next week without pay or he will tell Fernando about her job.

Edith is contemplating taking her makeup off.

Laura wants to be friends with Fanny again and told Fanny that she slept with an older guy to get him to pay for her tuition.

Enrique had León bring a report to him, looked at it, and slammed it down on the desk unhappily. He told León to go over it for inconsistencies. After León left, he swore that he had to succeed.

La Gata #63 11-17-14 Turkey. . .and Masochism is best served HOT!!


Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!  This title is dedicated to Mariano and the other gobblers in tonight's episode!

Right out of the gate we are treated with Jarocha beating the crap out of Gisela. Jarocha gets in some good slaps, choking and a blow to the stomach before Pablo comes out into the hallway to see what’s happening.  Relish this thrashing; you’re going to need it later.  Jarocha tells Pablo that this dirty pig has told Esme she is paralyzed.  Gisela doesn’t seem quite as cheeky anymore.  Security Guards have to tussle mightily to restrain Jarocha who even aims some kicks at Gisela.

 

Pablo finds Esmeralda on the floor.  She cries that she cannot walk and that she was lied to.  Pablo holds her as she sobs and pledges his undying love.

 

Outside Fernando and Blanca arrive and Jarocha informs them as well of the well-guarded secret that Gisela has just blurted out.  Fernando prepares to rip into her when Gisela recognizes him and calls him a killer.  Blanca tries to defend him.  Fer decides they will go in to see Esmeralda and tells Gisela he will deal with her later.  The guards continue to keep Jarocha and Gisela separated.

 

Esme is back in bed now as Fer and Blanca enter.  She is glad to see them; she has them and swears she is not going to give up.  Outside the large glass window which opens on the hallway Rita states solemnly that her dream has been realized, Esme is a broken rag doll.

La Malquerida #68, 11/27/2014: Uli’s Getting Sent to the Big House

Mexico Episode #74

I’m too filled with turkey, stuffing, and pie to go into details tonight, so here are bullet points to get the conversation going…

-After Acacia spills the beans about Cristina’s pregnancy to Esteban, he backs off. Then he stares at Cris throughout their contract meeting with McCormick, and says nothing. He offers no protest when Cris says from now on, she and Acacia will be the only people listed as administrators of Benavente. This leaves Cris even more convinced that Esteban does not want to reconcile, and she says so to Acacia. Knowing that she blabbed about the pregnancy, Acacia is surprised that Este didn’t work things out with Cris.
-Acacia, Cris, and we, get a tour of McCormick and learn how Benavente’s strawberries become delicious jams.
-Elena tells Juan Carlos about the pregnancy. He tells Cris that he is not in agreement with her keeping it secret from Esteban (he’s responsible for the child as its father), but in the end says he will support her decisions. He’s also super happy to once again become a grandpa. Cris says that she will give Este one more month to decide what the heck he wants. After that she’ll tell him she’s pregnant, but not so that he’ll return.
-Este tells Rubio about Cris’ pregnancy. His parents abandoned him in an orphanage, and he swore he would never abandon his own child. He feels that he has to go back to Cris. Rubio points out that this means that Este has to forget Acacia forever. Or does Este intend for her to become his child’s stepmother? Este is not amused by this joke. Rubio points out that even if he returns to Cris, Este is no longer the ranch administrator and will need to make some money, for his backup escape plan. He subtly pushes Este to partner with Danilo.

Weekend Discussion: Black Friday and Retail Creep


By now most of us will have eaten our turkey, stuffing, etc., and are thinking about the next episodes of our favorite series or hanging with family or friends.  How many of you are heading out to shop tonight?

About ten years ago when the early morning madness started a friend commented "In a few years we'll all be finishing our pumpkin pie and heading to the mall."  And this year Target opened at 6PM and Walmart at 5.  None of us at that table shops on Black Friday; I personally vowed ages ago to finish my holiday shopping before that and haven't broken that promise to myself.  Anything purchased after that date is bought online.

This article  sums up how I feel about this.

BTW, according to Wikipedia's article  on this subject, Latin American also observes it.

Your thoughts, por favor!

La Malquerida #67, 11/26/2014: Caray Caray Would Have Happily Helped Juli With the First Part of Her Plot

Mexico Episode #73

Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope you all have a wonderful day with your family and friends, but do drop in between bites of turkey and pie to discuss this episode.

Acacia Makes Announcements, Does Undercover Acts of Kindness, and Spills Secrets:
Acacia gathers the family together to tell them she’s done with Ulises, FOREVER…and she really, really means it this time. At least, until the next time she changes her mind. The family is happy to hear it. Lizi arrives and we find out what all the secret calls between her and Acacia were about. Seems that a girlfriend of Lizi (*cough*, Hector) has a connection with an art gallery that wants to do a show of German’s and Cris’ art! Yay! German, Cris, and everyone else is excited. Lizi voices her reservations to Acacia about keeping the real person behind the show secret and taking the credit. But she doesn’t feel bad enough to reject German’s grateful kisses.

Later Acacia visits Alejandra and whines about Ulises lying to her. Ale is concerned that Acacia will once again be vulnerable to Esteban’s charms. She warns Acacia to keep her distance from Este and to remember that he’s her MOTHER’S HUSBAND. Acacia says she won’t forget it, since he and Cris are about to have a baby. Ale is sufficiently impactada.

Visiting Hours in the Local Hoosegow*:
Ulises gets a few visitors. Cris, visits as part of her mission to protect her baby Acacia. She asks Uli to let Acacia go on with her life (without him) if he really loves her. Uli asserts his love and his innocence, and swears that once he proves his innocence he’ll win back Acacia’s love. (Dude, she doesn’t deserve YOU!) Cris says she’ll make sure he never sets foot on the hacienda again. (Gringo—Perhaps we should start cooking that crow dinner over the Thanksgiving break?) Carmen and Arturo visit, and are pretty down about all the evidence stacking up against Uli with Nuria’s testimony. Finally, Hector visits. He still believes in Ulises, and he wants Uli to be more cautious about sharing info since he thinks there’s a mole somewhere—Nuria knew too much info and he believes someone was feeding it to her. He also tells Uli that he has his people looking for Itzel (who Nuria claims was another woman seduced by Uli).

*The American slang for jail, hoosegow, is derived from the Spanish word, juzgado.

La Gata #62 - Wed 11/26 - La Indiscreción

A lot of what happened at Esme's bedside in the early part of the episode was pretty irrelevant, so it's going to get combined, condensed, etc.  In contrast, some of our supporting cast were using interesting vocabulary and idioms tonight, and making some important revelations, so they're going to get more coverage than they might usually warrant, though still, I opted to combine scenes instead of cutting back and forth.

Mi Corazon es Tuyo #92 Hankie-worthy ... Still can't tell if Diego wants Heaven to wait or not... And the news of Diego's accident spreads... and Ana and Fernando open their hearts and cry with each other

Refritos:


We left Fernando and Ana riding the ambulance with Diego, who had flat-lined and the paramedics were trying to revive him.

Lo Nuevo:

Alicia goes into the ladies room at a café to prepare (makeup, boob stuff) to meet Pablo.

At hospital Jenny tells Doctor that Nico has been anxious because he has been having a ‘bad gut feeling’.

At the cafetin Alicia asks for a strawberry shake. The waiter tells Alicia that she dropped one of her boob fillers.

Fanny, Edith and Natalia arrive to the hospital to ask for Diego. Nando arrives right away. The ambulance has not arrived (still in traffic?) … they all are worried they all got there before the ambulance.

In the ambulance Fernando continues praying, his hands are all bloody. He worries what he will tell Nico. Ana is begging Diego to please not leave them. She cries while Fernando kneels by Diego’s head. Ana comes and leans on Fernando, crying hard.

At Isa’s, Ino-Doro leaves, he has to go visit other tenants. YoMama calls him Pancho Villa and asks for his phone number. He gives her a business card, not being shy about showing her his wallet full of money. They flirt with each other… When Ino-Doro is gone, YoMama tells cupid he finally did her justice

At hospital, Natalia is really upset, tells Fanny that the men she has fallen for have died in her arms or at her care… Fanny tries to encourage her ‘everything will be alright’. Nando and Edith talk… Nando tells her he wants Ana with Fernando but he really loves his uncle Diego too, and appreciates Diego’s advice. Edith hugs him in support.

Isa returns home, rings bell and YoMama nags about having to open the door to her. Yomama says we need groceries… Isa wants HER to go to the super. Isa says ‘I got all this, you are just my gopher/second’. Meaning you are a parasite… living off another… and in this case, Me.(Isa). YoMama cuts Isa off and says go ahead and be hungry. Soon I will have someone to support me, so there!

Pablo is standing behind Alicia… does not want her to see him until he talks to her. He says she is different than the picture but she looks better in real life. Fanny turns around and is disappointed at seeing him. She nags at him that he does not look like the picture. No muscles and much younger than she thought. She is upset enough she wants to leave. He begs her not to go. She drops her bag when she gets up mad and he sees her school emblem on her sweater so he starts laughing at her trying to simulate she was 18 when this school only has elementary and secondary school. So she can barely be 15.

Mi corazon es tuyo #91 Is this the last we see of Diego?? At his experiencia religiosa, will Diego say 'heaven can wait' or become an angel?

Refritos:


Fernando tells Ana he spoke to Diego but could not reconcile with him. Ana keeps hoping they will be able to forgive each other soon. Fernando tells her Diego is in bad shape, has been drinking for several days now. Looks real bad. Seems he is on auto-destruct mode.

Lo Nuevo:

Isa still at Freeky’s. Isa seems to want to rekindle the flame she once had with Freeky. He agrees she is very attractive, but she turns it on him and says from here on out, we are only related by business.

Laura rings Freeky’s bell. He won’t let her in, sends her away ‘non-ya-bidness’ who I’m with. Laura breaks down and cries in hallway ‘what have you done, Laura??’ Natalia sees her but Laura denies needing help.

At Lasc kitchen, Johnny and Bruno are having a good time, Johnny swears he is the best cook now. Even puts on a ‘show’ for Bruno. He tries to show how to crack an egg without making a mess. Bruno laughs hard (feet up in the air) when he fails and Bruno starts telling jokes. FF>>

At Diego’s, Natalia comes in the apt. Diego gets mad at her because she threw away his booze. He takes the keys and runs out.

Ana is calling Diego’s cel, but he won’t answer. Fernando says he and Diego have always parted ways but this time its gone too far. He won’t let Ana feel guilty. Both he and Diego have made mistakes. Fer tells Ana what Diego said, that if Fer wanted Diego to forgive him, he would have to walk away from Ana. But Fer would not. Ana says they (Fer and Diego) are both men with great values/virtues, 'but the only difference here is that I… '

La Gata #61 11/25/14 La Paralítica

I missed the first little bit and the house was kind of chaotic with dogs and visitors, so I'm going to throw some bullets up and watch on hulu tomorrow and put more details in then.

  • I tuned in right as Ines, Garabato and the gang had made their escape. 
  • La Gata is paralyzed and wearing odd headgear with two lemons for each ear. The doctor says there is a possibility of surgery, but it's risky. If I had taken a drink every time someone said "paralítica" I would be sloshed.
  • Everyone visited Esme.
  • Lowrenza is growing a heart and very much wants to be a part of her nieto's lives. Augie is not sold on the idea.

La Gata #60 11/24/14 Brain damage!

Is that proof that Esmeralda and Pablo had brains? Who knew. Anyhoo, let me get to it.

My beloved Mariano comes upon the accident scene, he had a bad feeling that something was wrong with the two love birds, when he realizes that Esmeralda and his brother have been injured he cries out in anguish (someone give me some tissues!).

At Casa De Venganza everyone is worried about Esmeralda, they all expected her to be home hours ago and they can't find her, Jarocha suggests that maybe she and Pablo decided to run away and marry in secret, Fernando says Esmeralda would not do that. They then get the call that tells them about the accident, Fernando leaves to the hospital and Fela and Virgina stay behind, I really wish that they would stop treating these two like helpless children, they are grown women, treat them as such! Fernando promises to call them with updates.

Lorenza has a heart-allegedly 

Lorenza and Agustin argue, she tells him that she will be going to the wedding, she might not like Esmeralda but she loves her son and she will give him her full support, Agustin is dead set against this but she reminds him "if you can't beat the enemy, join him".

La Malquerida, capitulo 65. 11/24/14

Skipping the old....

Rubio comes in and to turn in an accounting report and JC asks him to take a seat. He asks if he received a letter from Ulises intended for Acacia. He wants it.

Acacia can't believe Cris is asking her if there is another woman in Esteban's life. If I knew something like that, don't you think I would have said something? Cris apologizes for asking such a question. Ever since Esteban left, she has all these horrible thoughts in her head. Acacia advises her to speak with Esteban to clarify things especially now that you are going to have his child. Cris doesn't agree. Children are not a magically solution when it comes to marital problems. She just feels that there is another woman and needs to know. Acacia thinks perhaps he might have had a passing fancy but it can't be serious. But who asks Cris. Acacia tells her to calm down and think of the baby. Cris agrees and knows no matter what happens, this child will be loved by many.

What letter asks Rubio. JC again says Ulises sent a letter but Rubio says no one came with a letter. JC keeps grilling him but Rubio swears nothing ever came. JC suspects Ulises lied. Rubio promises to questions all the ranch hands in the morning.

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: Reina de Corazones, Project Chapter a Day -- week of November 24, 2014.

 Hola Reinamaniacs!
We are trying a slightly different approach to recapping our beloved novela that Telemundo has trashed. Since two-fers, much less three-fers are horrible to recap and too much to take in,  as of Thursday, November 13, we started telling the story one Mexican episode at a time -- A Chapter a Day -- regardless of how it is broadcast in the United States.  
That means we will fall further and further behind the televised shows.  We're guessing that Telemundo will air the gran final on December 1, but we will probably finish recapping the show on December 11.

Of course, this all depends on the continued availability of the Mexican episodes.  Telemundo could get nasty and make them hard to find.  If that happens, then we are stuck with what they decide to show in this country and we'll have to regroup.

 Deb has put together this schedule for U.S.A. broadcasts of Reina.  (It is based on currently available information, but you never know what Telemundo might do.)

November
17-mon... 125/126
18-tue... 127/128
19-wed... 129/130
20-thu... 131/132* this was pre-empted by the President's speech
21-fri...  131/132?????? it looks like what was broadcast on Friday starts where Wed.'s episode ended so I 'm not sure what is going on. Maybe they will double up Tue and Wed's episodes that were supposed to be singles.
24-mon... 133/134??????
25-tue... 135/136???????
26-wed... 137/138??????
27-thu... Thanksgiving
28-fri... 139

December
01-mon... 140 (gran final)

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is the "anti-tijeras" schedule for our CarayCaray recaps of episodes of Reina as shown in Mexico:

November
13-thu... 121 (posted two weeks ago)
14-fri... 122   (posted two weeks ago)
