Weekend Discussion: Food for the "Big Game"


It's off-topic, but I've been a little too busy lately to compile the photos I want for the next gallery.

Who is hosting or contributing to a Super Bowl party?  I'm attending one for the first time and hope that my pasta and veggie and my bean salads will go over well.  They were always a hit on St Patrick's Day.

What will you all be up to on Feb 1?

La Malquerida #102, 1/16/2015: El Gran Final!!

Mexico Episode #116

Gloria and I would like to thank all of you for being such a wonderful, thoughtful group of commenters. A special thanks to Diana, who stepped up to the plate, took a swing at recapping, and hit it out of the park week after week. We can’t thank you enough for becoming our third recapper when we lost our Beloved Madelaine. Mads- We know you are watching with us, and having a great time seeing how all these crazy storylines have unfolded and resolved themselves. Thanks for being this show’s biggest cheerleader. Now, on to the recap! Gloria has masterfully recapped what Univision decided to show us, and I have filled in the cut sections (in italics) and a few extras. Enjoy!

Acacia admits to Cris that she accepted Esteban's love. Cris asks what she means by that? Acacia clarifies that she never had any type of sexual relationship with him. Cris asks how can she do this to her? I thought you were innocent in all this. Acacia says she is remorseful but Cris points out it's too late for that. Just months ago I believed I was the happiest woman in the world and now realized I lived in a fantasy world. My husband and my daughter. The two most important people to me for fooling me. What were you thinking? How could you betray me like this? She slaps Acacia and says she can't image her husband touching her. I was thinking you were a victim of his when in reality you were just a slut. Acacia yells at her to stop and listen to her. You have no right to tell me that. This would never have happened if you hadn't brought another man into my house.

La Gata #98 Hot Diggety! ¡Últimas Semanas!

Lower your expectations. I've watched it twice already (and even took notes the second time!) and I still don't know how to force it all into some sort of coherent recap.

I've gone back and looked at my notes and I must have been drunk at the time, which can't be good because it was 8 in the morning.

Anyoo...here goes nothing.

Mi corazon es tuyo, #127, Thursday The good news is that chivalry isn’t dead. The bad news is that Johnny is one of its main representatives.



Skipping the old…
 
Fanny is telling Edith about what happened with Leon. Lenin keeps interrupting with texts, asking Fanny to answer his calls, because he has something important to tell her about the orphanage. Edith goes to see Nando, so Fanny can have the chance to call Lenin – she listens patiently to what he has to say, apparently it really is something important.
Edith walks into Nando’s room while he’s still reading about the “wraps” for growth. He shuts down his laptop immediately, hiding from Edith. She wants to know what he was doing, but he won’t tell her, so they get into an argument about being lied to / being nagged.
Edith goes to Fanny with her woes and Fanny says that Nando doesn’t like being controlled; besides, maybe what he was trying to hide was the present he plans to buy for her.
Nando is buying something, all right, he places an order on the site he has been checking out. In my opinion a little less hair gel and a little more confidence would do wonders for his maturity, but if he thinks that something bought off the Internet might help….

La Malquerida #101, 1/15/2015: Dan Gets Felled by the Ho, the Knife, and the Stiletto

Mexico Episodes 114 and 115. Cut scenes in italics.

Episode #114: Broken Glass and Shattered Dreams
Cris has just fallen to her knees, begging Acacia to forgive her for not seeing Esteban’s intentions towards her. Acacia tells her that what happened with Esteban was her fault. She should have put distance between them from the first moment he made a move on her. Cris refuses to let Acacia think it was her fault. She knows women who have suffered sexual harassment often feel that it’s their fault, but it’s not true. She begs Acacia for forgiveness again and says she should have realized what was happening to her, but she trusted Esteban too much.

Before Acacia can tell the whole truth, Elena and Juan Carlos walk in. Acacia quickly excuses herself, as JC hugs Cris and tells her the obvious—she’s married to a killer! He can’t believe it. Elena wants to know why he killed a young man he has known since he was a little boy? JC can’t believe that the motivation could have only been the desire to keep Benavente. Cris yells out that Este’s motive was to keep Manuel from Acacia. JC doesn’t get it. Este had become supportive of the marriage.
C: Because he didn’t want Manuel to make her his mujer! Because he wanted her for himself!
Elena and JC look like they’re going to keel over from the shock.

La Gata #97 Thur 1-15 The one I'd rather flush than re-crap!

Hey y'all.  I couldn't even gin this thing up at all.  It tis what it tis!

Esme’s ready to go deliver some beads.  Damian comes to the door.  Damian tells her he will be with her for the appointment in the Lawyer’s office.  Esme refuses.

Hasta el Fin del Mundo on Thursday, January 15, 2014

Alexa with straightened hair talks with the director about her experience with movies and he says he has faith in her. She is ecstatic.

Unbelievable, for now she won't but soon enough Irma will be able to walk again (I'm beginning to think she is a demon from hell.) The wheelchair is a loan until they have money to buy one (and Irma thoughtbubbles Hasta que me de la gana Papuyo.)

Chava and Sofia motorbike along the countryside to Te Amare.

Hasta el Fin del Mundo on Wednesday, January 14, 2015

Alexa suggests the possibility of Sofia returning. Expressions are exchanged and Alexa is inaugurated the new head of Chocolates Ripoff. Greta says she never thought this would be happening. Alexa says she will stop living her life so Sofia can live hers and that that isn't fair. Sofia thanks her beloved sister gracefully,

IkStian has brought Fausto his favorite Gene Kelly movie on DVD. He has a Fausto-gasm, and thanks IkStian.

Olly gabs to Isadora about his band and Isa is worried about Peralta finding out. Olly says he is sure that won't happen and that Isa herself doesn't know who is in the band; he proceeds to say, "Daniela Ripoll."

Greta says it's inconceivable that Alexa is now the head of the Ripoffery and I find it odd that Patricio says for ger to put faith into Alexa since he will be helping her. Cipriano Fuentes is mentioned; Patricio says he is a man already dead. Greta mentions an addendum; he worked for her father and than he worked for Octavio. Pato is sure Sofia will be looking fof the archived files and that it'll end up being too much thus sending her back into her position at the Ripoffery. Greta says it's brilliant and she thanks him; she is so happy she can confide in him.

La Malquerida #100, 1/14/2015: Esteban is Unmasked, But There Are Still Truths to Be Revealed

Mexico Episodes 112 and 113. Cut scenes in italics.

Episode #112: Cris Starts to See the Light
Hector has just told Cris that he thinks Esteban doesn’t see Acacia as a daughter, but as a woman. Cris is incensed. How dare he insinuate something like that! He tries to explain that this is based on his observations, but Cris isn’t having it. This is something terrible he’s insinuating—that her husband is interested in her daughter?! It’s impossible! Hector apologizes, but says he couldn’t keep quiet any longer. Cris says these are just his crazy assumptions. “Esteban has known her since she was a little girl! He loves her like a daughter!” Hector apologizes again and says this isn’t easy for him. He thought about it long and hard, and knew it would put their friendship at risk. Cris agrees, because what he’s saying is monstrous. Hector hopes he’s wrong, but he wouldn’t be able to deal with his conscience if something really is going on. “No. You’re wrong/screwed up. This CAN’T be true! Get out of here!” Poor Hector leaves.

Dan reminds Esteban that they agreed to be partners and friends, in good times and bad. Este can’t believe Dan has the gall to contact him for help after what he did to Alejandra, Cris, and to all of them. Dan doesn’t see how Este can be giving him lessons on morality, after what HE’S done. “You and I know very well what it’s like to be driven mad by a young girl. We are more alike than you think.” Este takes offense at being compared to Dan. He wants to know what Dan wants. Dan explains he needs enough money to get out of there, since the guy helping him has disappeared. Este asks where he is, but Dan is wise to his game. He'll have instructions for him later.

Rubio keeps Este’s secret and throws Norberto off the Esteban scent. He tells Norb that the likely culprit was Danilo, and the likely target was German. Norb goes to speak to the police chief.

Mi Corazon es tuyo #126 Little Diego Nicolas is at a happier home for sure... but it is certainly not Fanny's day... or Leon's. but Fernando and Ana seem to be 40 going on 13

Refritos:


Ana talks to Johnny and Jen about finding evidence of Dorofeo by recording some meeting of his.

Kids get home to start their xmas vacation (almost 20 days). Fernando arrives home with baby.

Lo Nuevo:

Leon and Fanny are going out alone, they won’t tell anyone. Mau stays with grandma and Reina.

Ana has brought the baby to Angel’s office. He tells her that Isa had introduced herself to him as ‘Ines’. He realized she was Isa when the family was watching the baby at the nursery. Ana talks about Isa’s multiple personalities. Angel says baby is A ok. Someone is knocking at door. Its Marta, Angel’s ex wife. He makes her wait outside until his appointment is over. He is visibly impactado by her showing up like that.

Leon is showing Fanny the video they had recorded (the Grease video) at a drive-through. She says you told me that when you gave me the 7th drawing or video, you would ask me a special question. Leon shows her the video (with background music of their theme song with Fanny lip-singing it and Nando and Edith and Mau and Luz dancing, etc) and at the end Leon proposes to her on the screen. Leon in the car opens a little box that has a ring. She is in shock. Very sad looking. He says he is already finishing his thesis and will soon take his final test, is buying a house and will buy her a better ring later on. He figures they can marry in 6 mos to a year, when everything is lined up. She stops him there. She finally speaks up and says she is too young, she is just 21 and not ready to get married. That she WOULD, at some point later on, feel ready to share her life with him. But she is just starting to find her way around. She is learning a lot and does not feel ready to settle down and does not feel prepared to be Mau’s step mother. He rebuttes that it is because of his financial status… but she swears its not about that, that its about her and her not feeling prepared for married and being a parent. He is so upset he leaves, not even letting her drive him home.

Ana talks to Angel about Marta… she tells him that it seems he has not forgiven his wife for having aborted his child, but he still has huge feelings for her. Angel looks away.

Fanny has caught up with Leon and is trying to talk to him again, but he wants her to leave him alone. He keeps walking home and she stays at the gate crying.

Preparations for xmas continue at Lasc Manor. They are putting on the nativity set now. Fernando is pulling apart some moss… Luz found the donkey… Alicia remembers doing a ‘pastorela’ (a staging of the nativity scene). Alicia suggests doing another ‘pastorela’, the Lascurain pastorela. Fernando is all up for it. He calls Bruno and asks for the script (play script) of the pastorela that they did with Fanny Sr a few years ago. Fanny arrives home and is visibly upset. Fernando notices. Fanny runs and hugs her dad.

At home, Leon is whining to his mom. He says the only explanation is that Fanny does not love him. Margarita does not believe Fanny told him that. He says it’s the only reason. Margarita agrees that marrying very young, at Fanny’s age, is a bad decision. Margarita says not wanting to marry you right now does not mean she does not love you. ‘Fanny is too young and you have a son! It is not an easy decision for a woman who is just starting her life!’

Fernando sits with Fanny in her room. She asks for Ana, took the baby to Angel. Funny, isn’t it? Ana caring for Isa’s son.

Sebastian arrives home and will help them with the nativity set while Ana heads upstairs with the baby.

Fanny tells Fernando what Leon said… and he proposed… Fernando shocked. Fernando is anxious, asking what she responded. Ana has to point Fernando to look at Fanny’s face and figure out that she said no. Ana wants to talk to Fanny, asks Fernando to leave them alone. Fernando takes the baby and tells Fanny he loves her. Fanny cries on Ana’s shoulder.

Fernando is changing his baby when Bruno comes in saying he found the script for the pastorela. Fernando asks Bruno to go get more diapers and to prepare the bath for the baby. Fernando tells the baby that they look alike and that he loves him… but also… what did you eat, son?? (at this age, man? You need to ask?)

La Gata #96 - Wed 1/14- La Duda

Pablo rips up the test results, as if that will accomplish anything.  Damian shows up, late, as Juan the Ferret tries to act like maybe he did do something wrong by not calling Esme, but, oops, he didn't know she was pregnant!

Esme stews about how Pablo doesn't believe her, yet again.

Juan the Ferret gives a poetic answer about where he "came from."  Damian thinks it's about damn time that Esme get involved.  Ferret mentions "witnesses."

La Malquerida #99, 1/13/2015

Mexico Episodes 110 and 111

All- Univision is doing their best to make a hash of the final episodes of La Malquerida, but I know Diana will do her best to give us a delicious recap. See her recap in the comments. I'm sure there will be lots to talk about!

1/13 TUE Hasta el Fin del Mundo #104 Not Armando’s finest hour.



Oficina de Alexa
Alexa tells Irais she’s planning to dedicate herself to what she really cares for.  ruh-roh

Dani barges in, complaining about Alexa’s decision to support Sofia’s resignation.  Alexa explains she only did what Sofia asked.  Sofia needs to “find herself” and needs some alone time.  “Mal onda, neta!” opines Dani.  Alexa agrees she never would have thought of taking over the reins but Sofia needed her.  She feels Sofia will soon realize she needs to return and Alexa has the “perfect plan”.  She’s not divulging the details, but in less than a week Sofia – and the other partners – will agree that Sofia must return.  Que te lo digo yo!  (shot # 1)

Mi corazon es tuyo #125 Sebastian and Sarai compete and win!!, Johnny and Jen show Ana the new pole dance studio, Fer and Ana take their relationship up one notch even if they have to kiss over the turkey

Refritos:


Not much, Ana dancing and thinking if Chicago disappears, she won’t have to tell Fernando anything.

Fernando silent with teary eyes staring at Fanny Sr’s portrait

Lo Nuevo:

Fanny and Leon take Mau looking for Christmas tree… She tells Mau she loves him very much… Mau saying you had not said that yet, I would remember it. Leon thinks about the last step (proposing to/asking Fanny) Leon makes Mau agree that Fanny is sooo beautiful.

At Chicago, Ana is saying a speech on the mike, wishes merry xmas to everyone and special greeting to her dear Jenny, Johnny and all her co-workers. A toast with red roses all around her on the stage… She announces they are closing for a couple weeks. Merry xmas and happy new year, Chicago! Cheers! Ana walks around hugging everyone.

Back to Fer and we hear the voice of Fanny Sr ‘don’t let her go, Fernando! … don’t let her go’. Him responding ‘No, Fanny. I won’t let her go. I won’t… let Ana go. Thank you… Than you.’ (he is very emotional, this is indeed a farewell)

(good acting on JS part…. Excellent… one of the few actor men who can cry realistically on the fly)

Back to Chicago… Johny and Jenny are leaving but find ‘la diva’ crying… she is sad she will be away from them such a long time. She loves working here. Good music, ambience, friends… you all. Jen tells her just give us a call. She is heading home to Agualulco near San Luis (San Luis Obispo?). Johny gives her a cell phone. She is real grateful.

At Lasc house, we get closeup of all the decorations… fireplace sparking… (WHOA!!!) Ana and Fernando are cuddling together in couch. Ana says they will make a stocking for Diego Nicolas. She will buy the materials and make it tomorrow. He is thankful.

F: This kiss we shared… (she is babbling some nonsense syllables LOL!... ) … yeah.. beautiful… you know I love you. And with that kiss I felt that you love me too.

A: AH you didn’t know?

F: Well. Believe me that sometimes I am not so sure because you never have told me.

A: Aaah!

F: That’s all.

A: … I love you!...

F: (in disbelief, emotional) Do you have any idea of how happy I feel to hear this??...

A: Yeah, but you are hyperventilating… I know because I feel the same.

(then they get to kissing and babbling about it being the first of thousands… no, millions… no, billions! Of kisses…)

She asks him one thing… whatever you say… anything… She asks him to keep it secret from the kids for now… he asks why… she does not want them to know yet… she wants to take things easy, slow to make sure they work out… He does understand her point… He recalls Luz saw him kissing Ana and then he married Isa. And Ana ended up dating Diego… and now they are back together… Ana says the kids won’t know what to think, especially the younger ones and she does not want to confuse them. (‘calmantes montes elegantes pintos pajaros cantantes’ … and in Ana’s vocabulary all that means ‘easy does it’) He says you're right, ‘si, mi amor’. She says she loves when he calls her that. (AWWWWW) However, he wants to continue kissing and points out that there is no one around right now. ‘sure!’ ‘I love yur englich’ (LOL!) Kissy kissy continues… he shuts her up… (FINALLY!! She was getting me dizzy)

La Gata #95 1/13/15 A Rainbow of Stupid

1. Many thanks to Eli, Diva and Anon for the inspiration
2. The only action getting recapped is whatever fits into the theme. We can all clarify and add in the comments.

Seeing Red
Garabato is pissed. His parents were murdered and he was left a dumpster baby. It's all La Gata's fault. Her parents must die....or her parents must be left without a child. We've all said it before-La Gata was a baby. How is it her fault?

Little White Lies
More like big whoppers, but I'm working an angle here.
Augie conveniently gets back his ability to talk and tells Esme and Pablo that Lorenza is lying about her illness just so Eseme will care for him. Later Augie is back to thought bubbling so I'm particularly annoyed by this. Proof positive that the writers just do whatever the hell they want. Logic, story and quality be damned.

Later in the episode Lo tells another lie. She spills the beans to Esme about the paternity suit (stretched over two scenes...it took forever.) Lo says Pablo came to her full of doubt thanks to this latest event. Could it be that the children aren't Pablo's?

La Gata #94 01/12/15 Where's Maury when you need him?

I used to be a happy girl, but this show has broken my spirit, its gotten so bad that I can't really seem to make out what the characters are saying, as in all the conversations are a blur. I'm not trying to be a jerk, it's just that I find myself having a hard time trying to focus. I even made a song!

I hate this show and I can not lie
All my patio peeps will understand
That nothing on this show is worth watching
But we are dedicated peeps
so we will keep on recapping
I might need therapy this is no lie
I wonder if Televisa will help me out?

Okay, so not the best song but it's the best I could do!

La Malquerida, capitulo 98. 01/12/15.

Hunky Hector doesn't understand how Ulises is going to allow the love of his life to marry another. You will regret not trying to do more. I don't want to be all up in your business but I see myself in you. I allowed the love of my life to go off with another man and I have regretted it since. It's better to lose your pride for love then your love for pride.

Acacia tells Esteban that he now has to keep his distance. He says his only sin has been in loving her. She reminds him that is the biggest of sins. What we have done is wrong, but I am willing to do anything so that you go away. He only wants her happiness and says he will leave her to get on with her wedding.
