El Dragon #48, 12/6/19 (Season 2 Episode 10): All Tied Up
We left off on Wednesday night with Miguel handcuffed to a bed. Which under the right circumstances some might find interesting, however, this seems to be against his will, and after being drugged. Chisca has been caught by Ishiro in Miguel’s room, and Zaragoza being beat with a bat by his old friend Epig, and Tania Farchala’s mother being held at gun point by crazy Hans. This episode is a little rough. I did most of it live and then just looked at a few scenes for some dialogue I had missed. Since I am actually on the East Coast this weekend, I didn't get a chance to watch it live early in the evening and then recap from the playback. Hats off to all of you who do this in real time. Because my brain hurts by midnight. Hope it makes sense and enjoy.
So in Maria's house we pick up where we left off with Maria saying they are going to be so happy. Miguels confused, asks, what are you saying Maria, take off the handcuffs.” She is psyco. “What I like the most about you are your eyes.” He calls her crazy and she gets crazy upset. I am wondering if that is the problem that occurred when her medicine ran out. And why she lives in the middle of nowhere alone. He tells her “free me, right now.” “You don’t know who you are messing with, they will come looking for me. What do you want? Money?” Maria tells him that she doesn’t like his tantrums and said they will talk at dinner. Then she calms down and asks him if he likes tomato soup. That if he doesn’t answer, she will make what she wants.

El Dragón #46, 12/3/19 (Season 2 Episode 8): Another toast to….whatever…
We open
with Howard convincing the Panamanian officials he needs a court order from the
judge immediately because this is the tip of the iceberg. Then he goes with the
police with his court order, but only finds an old man who says he is paid by
some lawyer named Aventour to receive mail. He gives Howard an address, so
Howard leaves. He goes to the next address and is very frustrated to find
nothing. He asks who pays the rent, but the answer is, “it’s paid in cash.” No
iceberg, no tip. Nobody knows anything.
At the
newly remodeled Garza offices, Jimena arrives for a staff meeting. Trejo
announces that the problem in Panama with Aventour is now solved. He says they
will now have to be even more careful about security. Then Jimena makes some
remark about the cyber security, taking a poke a Flaco. Trejo says they just
need to stay alert.

El Dragon #44, 11/29/19 (Season 2 Episode 6): Saving Lives, Exposing Secrets
Sorry this episode is posted a little late. I started yesterday and about half way through, was burned out. So I had to finish this morning. But I am on the west coast so various hours behind most. Next week I will be on the road again reporting from the Eastern Time Zone, I hope I can get through it.
This episode seems to pick up into what I wrote last night. Edna is searching Garza transport, looking for illegal substances in the trucks. And my assumption is that the anonymous call that was received was from good ol Valentin. They search the truck and find nothing. All the while the trucks that did contain the illicit merchandise escaped just in time. Zaragoza handled the merchandise upon its delivery to the empty warehouse.
Peligros and the guys are talking about whether or not they would get caught. Peligros is sure they are fine. He complains to Edna that the guys need to get back to work or their loads are going to be delivered late. Edna resigns herself to the fact that they got away with it this time.

El Dragon #43, 11/29/19 (Season 2 Episode 5): Hector's Great Plan!
El Dragon - Season 2 Episode 5 - November 29, 2019
Good evening,
We left off Wednesday with Edna and Hector in cahoots to get to the bottom of the murder of Hectors sister, but Edna turned the tables and ended up putting Hector on the spot about Miguel. Will Hector betray his friend to the authorities to see Epigmenio behind bars. Tonight we will see.
Hector defends Miguel, he tells Edna that he provided her with evidence that Carlos Duarte is guilty. She badgers him, but he tells her that Miguel has been his friend his whole life and that he has done nothing but help him investigate his sisters murder. She tells him that there is no way he has his hands clean, or why would they put a bomb in his place. Hector says he has no idea and keeps Miguel out of it completely. Edna tells him that he asks for a lot but cooperates only a little. Hector asks her if it is insignificant the fact that he is bringing her evidence to incriminate Carlos Duarte. Edna says they will do it his way and start with cutting off the heads he proposes. But that once the war starts, there is no going back.

El Dragón #42, 11/27/19: Does it Have to be All About Chisca?
Will Chisca be the instrument of Miggy’s downfall?
Back home in CDMX, Chisca has a sorrowful reunion with Dora. It doesn’t last long. She’s soon at the mercy of Mig’s (righteous) wrath. What was she thinking? She exposed herself and the family once again. She could have been the one who died. She can’t answer his questions directly. He claims he’s only judging her and her behavior. (Ishiro stands behind her, just out of focus.) Mig mentions how the Prosecuting Attorney has him in her sights at the precise moment she pulls this stunt. Chisca grabs onto whatever she can to absolve herself. “That’s what it’s all about—your businesses. You care nothing about your family. You only care about yourself.” Well, it doesn’t sting Mig the way she had hoped. So she goes for the self-pity. She declares she just lost the only friend she had. Dora welcomes her back into her arms. Ishiro has a stoic look on his face. It can’t be read. Is it pity, anger, concern? Maybe all three.

El Dragón #41, 11/27/19: Lotsa Interruptas Going On
The complete recap for Episode #41 follows. Episode #42 will have its own page. Enjoy!
Petite Rewind
Victor sees Dora pass down the hospital hallway. He thinks he recognizes her. Dora enters Adela’s room and sees her sleeping. She has a pillow and presses it down over Adela’s face. Harder and harder. Adela stirs briefly.
Almohadacide Interruptus
Someone knocks. Dora stows the pillow and hides. It’s El Gato!! He approaches Adela—just wanting to talk. He sees her in distress. Just then doc also interrupts. Dora slips out while he deals with the raggedy interloper. Doc returns to check Adela. She thought she was suffocating. He tells her it was a case of Post Trauma—she inhaled a lot of smoke. Dora has re-entered to check in on Adela. She immediately scolds Ade for telling Mig what she told her not to tell him. It only served to open back up old wounds. Ade tells her she didn’t mean that to happen. She just couldn’t keep quiet about it. She thought she was helping. In the end, Mig thanked her for telling him. Dora scoffs. What else did she think he was going to say?

Weekend Discussion 11/27/19: Comparing Cunas
There are only two versions of this
story to my knowledge. The original Cuna de Lobos (1986)
was so hugely popular that the streets of Mexico city were dead on
the night of its finale. This was also at a time when Televisa had
no real competition and there were fewer channels to watch. The
story defied previous attempts at a remake due to many changes in
scientific research and technology, not to mention a previous attempt
by the wrong producer.
I have only seen the original up to
episode 52 (out of 85) but even without the later details I agree
with everyone that 25 episodes are not enough to tell this story.
However, the seeds of a good remake are in the current one due to
most of the following changes:
The Larios Family
The current version has most of the
family younger than their counterparts in the original. The same age
difference between Jose Carlos and Alejandro is in effect. What
appears to be different is that the business owned by Carlos in the
original is one formed several generations before him instead of by
him, so the family's money is much older. In keeping with current
trends at Televisa, their residence is more modern in the current
version.

Cuna de lobos, Capitulo 25 Martes Gran Final 11/26/19: Unspeakable
Once
in a while one finds a criminal whose evil is not easily explained.
Someone like Catalina Creel defies definitions outside of
“psychopath.” However, that is too small a word for her. I was
raised Catholic, so I still believe that there is unspeakable evil in
this world and – sadly – that we cannot explain every example. I
do not know whether I believe in reincarnation but if that were true
perhaps Catalina is the reincarnation of someone the likes of LiviaDrusilla or perhaps Belle Gunness, who was never caught. – D.D.
Vega's
body was zipped into a body bag and wheeled out of the makeshift
operating room.
