El Dragón #36, 11/20/19: Mexican Samurai
Japan:
Miguel, Peligros, and Ishiro were with Jun, who explained that the
dispute between himself and Goro goes way back. A gang of ninjas
stalked Tadamichi and placed a motion sensor in the woods while Jun
denied killing his own right-hand man, blaming Goro for this as the
pretext for a war. Miguel saw the tattoo on Jun's hand and realized
he was lying, flashing back to a shooting inciident. Miguel put Jun
in a deadly headlock saying he will kill him himself if he kills
Tadamichi.

Cuna de lobos, Capítulo 21 Wed. 11/20/19: A Twisty Kinky Tale with a Strong Dose of Disillusionment
We pick up the story with Leonora in her cell being counseled by her "Catalina bought" public defender Figueroa. He explains how they can get her a more favorable sentence and her baby back in her custody even maybe at a minimum security prison with her confession to Miguel's murder. She wisely asks if Catalina and Alejandro can do something to thwart their efforts and the lawyer knowingly says that they cannot do anything "legally". He explains the court will act to protect the infant and that they will grant custody to whomever can assure its well-being the best. Leonora looks hopeful. He asks if they can accept the deal offered by the judge. Leonora barely nods.
At Luis's place, Alvaro sits quietly while José Carlos and Luis talk about what to do next to help Leonora. They discuss that Alvaro's testimony would have the same weight as the security guard's so they need something else. Luis is ready to tell them that Leonora was with him when Miguel died and that Alvaro had a meeting with Catalina at the building at that time.

Cuna de Lobos, Capitulo 20 Martes 11/19/19: J'accuse!
I
often wonder whether true crime programs on television – including
my own – make criminals smarter. Whether they do or not, they're
good for ratings. This one will make a great novel someday. In the
meantime it will serve as a social statement about how injustice can
sometimes be bought. – D.D.
Leonora
got her first experience of violence in the prison at roll call, when
she failed to answer. The guard nastily told her that she was to
respond when she called her name, then hit her in the stomach.

El Dragón #35, 11/19/19: Ruh Roh Scooby Do there's a war going on, but we don't know whose side we are on.
We
left with some Japanese guy caught doing something alone in a bathtub
and subsequently being punished for it. I thought it was kinda
severe, but the Japanese are different about those things. Huh? Oh
he was one of the underworld kingpins' helpers from an opposing
view. Tadamichi
tells Mr. Migster this means war. Swell fellas, keep it over there
this time.
Tadamichi
and Migs and Tad tells him to stay close to Goro, he doesn't trust
him

El Dragón #34, 11/15/19: From Pig Pen To Makin' Bacon Or All Muddy Tracks Lead to Pig
Parte 1~
We begin again with the most memorable scene this past week: Chano, QEPD, blabbing to Hector that Epimanio Moncado is the head of the new drug cartel in CD Juarez and Hector being covered in brain pulp just afterward, courtesy of Tacho and his high-powered rifle shot from numerous blocks away.
Adela, meanwhile, manages to escape the clutches of Mr. Barrio back alley thug (more of a pipsqueak who seems too winded to do much more than threaten - and why oh why does the barrio bum always determine it's something of a macho rite of passage to rape a gal from outside the neighborhood?) With a well aimed knee-knock at his chestnuts and ahop onto a conveniently parked moto of a pizza delivery girl... put, put, put--Vroooooom! She is outta there and back on her way to where-ever.

Cuna de Lobos, Capitulo 19 Lunes 11/18/19: Blood, Sweat, and Tears
Lies,
bribes, and sex as payment or manipulation are the stuff of
psychopaths. It's a good thing I never went into law enforcement
because I don't like thinking about how many people paid for crimes
they didn't commit just because the killer had money. Or were
induced into committing ones by other people with too much money.
Maybe I'll pick up a copy of Double Indemnity and send it anonymously
to Commandante Vega to shake up his world. – D.D.
Catalina
– in her usual manner when stressed, angry, or triumphant – strew
the papers on the table and threw over its top.

A SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM COUNTxALACRÁN TO CARAY, CARAY! VISITORS
WHO IS THIS LOVELY LADY??? DO YOU
RECOGNIZE HER???
She is none other than Bernarda Saenz, viuda de
Guillen (Jacqueline Andere) from La Otra (2002), one of most evil, disturbing villains
ever. She is the epitome of the toxic mother. Her selfishness drives the
oppressive manner she treats her daughters in order to satisfy her own desires.
Greetings
Caray, Caray! visitors--
Some of you
may know me already. For those that don’t, let me introduce myself. My
nom de plume was CountxAlacrán. During 2015-2016 I was a recapper on several telenovelas,
including Yo No Creo En Los Hombres, Yago
and Que Te Perdone Dios. I posted comments regularly. Shortly
after YNCELH, I left the recapping teams due to personal obligations.
The reason
for this post is to announce my intention to create a website where my own recaps
of Spanish telenovelas and possibly other shows, not available elsewhere, such
as La Otra, can be ordered and purchased
for a fair price. I hold a B1 certificate in English, so translating from Spanish to English will be my primary focus.Read more »

El Dragon #33, 11/13/19: Moving Out, Moving On
Good Evening my Patio Peeps, I know, I am here a few days early this week, but due to some changes in this weeks schedules ( we all have lives), I am taking over this Wednesday night recap, and glad to actually. Usually, I wait until I am ready to recap to watch my episode, but I was so curious about what was going to happen last week that I went ahead and have already seen this one. So I am excited. It was good all around. More sentimental than some of you like, but just right for others. So let’s go!
At the beginning of the episode we get a brief replay of everything that happened in regards to Adela’s interview with the magazine Nosotros. The instructions given by Miguel, the interview itself, and the fall out upon publication, when Miguel freaks out on Adela over the amount of information she allegedly divulged in the interview. We pick up with the breakfast where he tells her that he would have expected betrayal from anyone except her. And of course Adela is in complete disbelief because viewerville knows that Adela did not in fact give up any information that she shouldn’t have, and that Jimena was the mastermind behind the entire thing. Adela denies that she opened her mouth. She tells Miguel straight out, “if I am telling you I didn’t say anything, it’s because I didn’t say anything.” Miguel, very sanctimoniously begins reading from the article.

Cuna de lobos, Capítulo 18 Wed. 11/13/19: Two Hits and a Miss--OR--Skulking with Alvaro
As Alejandro looks up from kissing Miguel, he catches sight of a horrified Leonora who is exiting as fast as she can. He goes after her and apologizes saying he didn't want her to find out like this. She tells him she heard everything that he and Miguel said to each other. She doesn't want to hear anymore. She runs away screaming for him to stay away from her. Alejandro is visibly upset. Leonora sobs and screams at herself for being an idiot as she sits in her car. As she manages to drive away, Alvaro steps out of the shadows.
Ambar is talking to Francisco the best she can. She says she told him it was true. He answers saying that Catalina admitted to it all. Francisco asks her to forgive him and adds that he should have believed her. He informs her that Alejandro left in a desperate state and is rightfully angry. She adds that Alejandro had to know and to give some time. Francisco isn't sure he can forgive himself. Ambar dissolves in tears and tells him he always refused to believe her. With tears in his own eyes, Francisco assumes the blame for Ambar's current condition because everything she said was true. Ambar tells him that Catalina is a . . . Francisco finishes the sentence with "murderer."

El Dragón #32, 11/12/19: Underhanded Deceptions!
Hector
continues to make a scene Duarte’s office, accusing Duarte of using Natalia as
his lover. Arturo and his wife are mortified, crying out that it is not true.
He is finally thrown out of Duarte’s office. Arturo takes his wife out who is
in tears now. Duarte gets on the phone to report Hector’s behavior. The guards
throw Hector down the front steps. Arturo confronts him and socks him in the
face, telling him never to return to his foundation and to have nothing more to
do with his family. A female photographer is taking pictures of everything.
After
Mig gets through with Angel, Angel sits up and tells him that if it weren’t for
him, that Chisca would be dead, “didn’t Jorge tell you?” Miguel turns to listen
but says, “Don’t ever come back and see Chisca again.”

Cuna de Lobos, Capitulo 17 Martes 11/12/19: The Time Bomb of Truth
Nobody
in the world tells the truth all the time; life would be intolerable.
However, too many lies told too long are time bombs waiting to
explode. Nobody even thinks about the fallout until it's too late. –
D.D.
Catalina
removed the plastic bag and said “We still have much to talk
about.” She sat down. “What did you tell José Carlos? What
information did you give him?”

Miguel
and Adela kissed while Jimena looked dagger eyes at her. Miguel
tried to tell Adela that he was not a romantic option for her despite
this “Because I can't make you happy”. He walked away from her.
[Coward!]
Hector's
wife, Ana, caught him in the act with Claudia and she lost it. He
made excuses. He held onto her until Claudia was able to make a safe
exit, feeling insulted at the excuses he made and telling Ana he
loved her. Ana then walked out on him. [Both of them should kick
his skanky ass at this point.]
