Por Siempre Mi Amor #73- Taken a la Novela Style - March 18, 2014


Recap by Corazon Salvaje
-FeVer and Gabs are in a restaurant triggering my gag reflex. She apologizes for being rotten before and says she likes his 5 o'clock shadow. He asks gray hairs and all? She say yes to the gray hairs and all! (Aside from tossing my cookies, I have no idea how to react to that. I just hope there is no coitus between the 2. Thank God Gabs is prego and is moral enough to not have sexy time while so.) FeVer asks if they should order one dessert for 2 and Gabs just worries about the portion size. She just lets him order and he butters her up some more to the point where he kisses her on the head. (You know, Gabs was the firts one in this novela to dislike FeVer and here she is drooling over his gray facial hair and compliments. If this whole scene isn't desecration of a character, I have no idea what it.)
-Tita is scolding Bronce Mari for coming home late and tells her that she could have been notified at least! BM apologizes but Tita is still firm; Tita reminds her she still lives under Tita's roof and BM doesn't self-command herself. Don't let it happen again, you understand?
-Borlas and DannyBoy (who isn't wearing a button-down that reveals his hairy chest) are eating and talking. Borlas lets him know he told Bronce Mari everything and she forgave him. That's good. They begin discussing school and DannyBoy is going to look for application to community college(s). Borlas felicitates him and DB is off to sleep.

Lo que la vida me robó #90, 3/18/14: Mothers and Daughters -- A Cosmic Crapshoot

In this fairytale of ours, Angélica wished for three things:

-- A chance to cut loose and be a little naughty.  
-- Real passion -- she wanted José Luis to love her in every sense of the word. 
-- To die on her on terms, far from desperate eleventh hour interventions.

The first two wishes come true tonight.  As for the third... 

No thanks, I'm just looking.
Pedro Medina watches as his favorite program comes to a stirring climax.  He sucks contentedly on his pipe.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos Tues 3.18, #52 ... Who needs chicken broth when you can have kisses, hugs and fireworks as treatment for high fever

Nepo/Diego… Diego about to get sick from his dad’s ‘breath aroma’. Again Diego leaves him alone and he listens to ‘que voy a hacer’… and keeps on drinking tequila.


That same night, at the fonda…

MA and Chuy admiring the finished work. MA thanks Chuy for the help. ‘acerquese a mi calor’ CHuy invites a hug. We have never got along that much but I know you are a good man. That is why I feel like giving you one good advice. All that bad vibe you have around you would end if you were willing to find a good woman to share your life with… the bad, the good, the hard and the mature (las malas, las buenas, las duras y las maduras)… when you fall in love you are willing to share in the good and the bad. In my good days the girls would follow me around everywhere. I did my best to fill the gigolo role. But one day my Marcelita came along. She changed my life… After that I did not want to take a step without her. I loved her lots until God decided to take her with him. And I love her still. MA asks Chuy how did you know she was the one? The heart will remind you every day. And her face will be in your head all day. You will feel happy when you are with her. And then you will realize you are helplessly in love. Chuy says good night… enjoy the cold… MA thanks him again… I don’t get it when you talk your slang… something about Guadalupe’s belly button… ah!

Morning, MA is fixing coffee in kitchen. Lupe comes down, she I surprised he got up so early. He says he did not go to sleep. MA asks her if she spent the night thinking of her fiancée. Lupe gives him the news she is not dating Nepo anymore. MA surprised, nada de nada de nada? (MA gestures/shrieks happily) MA asks her if she wants some coffee with a technique of chocolate? Lupe ends up accepting … then MA burns himself. Lupe puts egg on his hand and he asks why. MA says he would not mind if someone beat him up in the ring but he would do anything to hear her laugh. These two get along so well… I love it!

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #7- Tue 3/18

De que sabe encubrir sus maldades, los sabe encubrir!

Grumpy Grandpa hands over what he says is a sizeable check, but Natalia tears it up and tells him he and his creepy grandson can both stuff it!  Brigitte thinks that was a stupid move, but then, she's Brigitte.

Carlos steals Carmen from the fonda with her sons'  blessing.  He shows her the house he's thinking of buying, to get her approval.  Carmen loves the house (that staircase looks familiar…what house is this?  The one from Al Diablo Con Los Guapos?  The kitchen looks familiar, too.) but thinks it's too big for one person.  Carlos, of course, intends the house to be for ALL of them.

Back at the office, Karina is having a hard time with things like the difference between sales reports and purchase reports.  Yeah.  That's a stumper.  Grumpy Grandpa tells Diego about his visit, which he of course justifies because Diego is an immature idiot who needs someone to clean up his messes.  The immature idiot storms out of the office after giving Karina some lip about it.

Esme and Angel are picking out what Angel will wear for the magical evening.  Angel doesn’t want JL to know she’s owner of the swanky club aka “El Escondido”.  An urgent knock on the door and its Montse looking for JL.  Because of him, her baby daddy is in jail.  Angel defends JL and says he’s only trying to help Ale but Montse ain’t buying it.

Por Siempre Ni Amor #72 US 3/17/2014 Chihuahua Fight!!!

Happy Tuesday! I thought this was pretty funny:



I post this recap with a caveat: For some reason my TV is having problems picking up Univision. It started last Thursday, but cleared up over the weekend. We don't have cable or a dish; every channel we get is over-the-airwaves. Well Monday night it happened again. No signal. None. Totally black screen. Sooo - I have no idea what was broadcast Monday night, whether it was a single episode or a cut and paste double episode. This recap is a single online episode (#96 in Mexico) so it may contain scenes that were cut and may not contain scenes from the second episode if it was a double. I didn't catch all the dialogue so please fill in what I missed in the comments. Some scenes have been combined.

What I assume is Leftovers:
Aranza yells at Art and Isa that she's not a child - even though she acts like one. It's her life and if they don't like it well that's their problem, too bad. She storms out. Art tries to follow but Isa stops him. (Me: Art don't waste any more of your time. Kick her out and cut her off until she grows up and can be civil. You're always talking "consequences", well let her enjoy some. A few days on the street would do this beotch a world of good.)

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #6- Mon 3/17

De que está pintada de oro, está pintada de oro

I've been at rehearsal all night and I have a production meeting in the morning, so I probably won't have a chance to watch the episode until tomorrow afternoon.  In the meantime, discuss amongst yourselves!

*Update: got through most of the show....
*Update: the recap is complete.

Padre Juancho's boardroom visit leads to absolutely nothing, with more vague talk about "what you did" and "it wasn't so bad" and nobody talking specifics.  Grumpy Grandpa gives Diego a stern talking-to about keeping his nose clean.  Diana shows up asking QTH is going on, Diego evades some more, and Karina claims someone else must have ratted him out.

Diana and Diego's lunch is interrupted by a booty text.  The sexting fiend is an actor with bills he can't pay.  Good thing he's got a sugar mama.  As he whines about not booking a commercial and drools over a previous ad of his on TV, I make a mental not to not ever be "that guy."

Qué Pobres, Lunes 3/17/14 (#50): Shamrocks as Far as the Eye Can See

Green things in this episode: Envy; a greengrocer; nausea; limes
Green things NOT in this episode: Money; luck of the Irish; any luck at all

MA continues working on the masonry. He's so proud of his work, he thinks when this is done he can maybe help the Menchacas with repairs around the house!

Isela says some nonsense about doing sudoku puzzles to keep the Germans away... oh what's that guy's name... no, not Hitler... oh, right, Alzheimer's! OMG I wish Mini would hit her in the head.

In the kitchen, Carmelita lectures Lupe about her fear of love... that's why Lupe's with Nepo; that's not scary at all, because she's not in love with him.

Next: A serenade from Nepo. In bright sunlight, on the street, presumably with a hangover. Wow - if that Plantain King gig doesn't work out for him, maybe he could do this full-time. Nepo ends his serenade with a marriage proposal for Lupita. There are only three onlookers who don't look thrilled: MA (from the balcony), Emiliano, and Lupita. Lupita tells Nepo they should discuss this in private.

Que Pobres tan Ricos #49, 14 March 2014...Some folks are truthful about their feelings or lack of them when they are wasted in alcohol

Chuy, Lupita, Frida and Gwendy are all standing around the cement pile… Mati keeps helping opening the water faucet. MA comes out, asks how is it going? Chuy leaves. AS I thought, one of the times they asked Mati to open the water, Frida lost control of the hose and everyone is getting a shower.


Downstairs, it is wedding day!! Every white balloon in MC was bought and filled for this place. The wife is very pregnant. JT and Frida are commenting on this btw. JT says they kill two birds with one stone: wedding and baby christening. She tries to rant at him but he says you laughed at the joke too…

CK goes to Carmelita. He wants to toast with her for the couple. Chuy comes in to stand between them. CK looks much better showered and clean shaven. Chuy says go be the host of your guests. Chuy drags CK away, Carmelita giggles because she realizes Chuy is jealous about her.

Time for the first dance for the couple, again, cumbia. Oh boy, the couple on top of the cake are taller than the cake itself!! Nepo comes and congratulates CK on the party. Then he spots Lupita and wants to talk to her. She is too busy. You still angry at me, right? You are killing me with the stare. Lupita confirms she is. Carmelita is happy dancing around. Gwendy comes to Nepo. Are you still mad at me? He is… Gwendy says when you get over your anger, let me know. Nepo looks at the liquor, seems fairly good per his facial expression.

Lo que la vida me robo #88 3/14/14: Something something ...

Lo que la vida me robo—3-14-14

Recap later, discuss amongst yourselves in the meantime! 

Hello everyone, UPDATE SUNDAY NIGHT: 
This has been an unusual weekend! I'm spending it in the hospital, hanging out with a family member (who will be okay). I've been watching robo on hulu with my phone & iPad. I'm going to try to write some sort of summary, but it's a bit dodgy on a phone, as I can't seem to get my browser on the ipad to work!



got some screen caps to work! Squee!



RECAP, briefly, from my iPad. events not always listed in order, please forgive, it's hard to edit on an ipad!

JL catches Ale burning the drug money at the beach. But rather than busting him, the have a heart to heart over a beach campfire. JL tells Ale that Monserrat hates him (JL) right now, and perhaps that's for the best. Monserrat thinks JL betrayed Ale, but that's not JL's style. JL talks about what a blessing Angel is, how much he cares for her (quiero, not amo) and he'll be empty when she dies. Ale is reassured that Monserrat never cheated on him with JL, but JL says, when Angel dies, he'll keep trying to get Monserrat back, that's just how he is. But... It's better that Monserrat hate JL for now... during this exchange Scheming Prima is watching them with great interest...

Bitch Maria fill scheming prima of Ale in on all of Ale's history. Scheming prima flatters Bitch Maria, telling her she's prettier than Monserrat, and so forth.

JL interrogates sleazy drug dealer who rats out Angel's dad (I think?). He feels very betrayed, and that's why he's ratting him out. he doesnn't know the identity of Joaquin's socio (business partner).

Ezequiel tells Medina that they haven't got enough evidence to pin anything on Ale. Medina tells him that he's got a powerful friend, he's pulled some strings, and they can get Ale now. Make haste!

Macario is warning Ale about JL, he thinks maybe JL conspired against Ale; I am missing something here. Ale doesn't think JL is conspiring against him. But I think Ale's a little worried. He asks Monse where she went to (or something) and is reassured by her answer. She is all loving concern about him.

Dim is joining the navy, and is sincere. Capt. Robledo knows Dim's dad would be so proud. Robledo has Refugio be in charge of Dim. Refugio acts very agreeable in front of Robledo, but as soon as they're alone, he unleashes his outrage on Dim, who says, hey look, I understand that no one believes me, but give me time to prove myself. Refugio later goes to JL to update him on the latest with Dim.

Hot Lawyer (co conspirator of Scheming Prima) is family friend of Josefina. They have a visit and she tells him how Dim is turning out okay. He was a gold-digger at first, but now that's all changed. Hot Lawyer is sure that Dim is a good guy. He smiles... Graciela comes in, all cool and aloof, and Sandro (Hot Lawyer) is all thrilled to see her.

Monse is reassuring Ale of her concern and love when in comes Ezekiel, ready to arrest him! Uh oh!

Sandro aka Hot Lawyer, has coffee with Fina and Graciela. He tells Graciela how his client is the niece of Benjamin, daughter of Ben's sister. Imposible, exclaims Gracie, the sister was sterile, couldn't have kids!

Both Ale's mom and wife wail in despair at Ale being taken away, but he kisses them both for goodbye and goes with the police.

Sandro is talking about his 'client' and the whole process of figuring out if she's an heir of Benjamin's, will Ale fight this? Monse says no. Graciela is all intent on this topic because she's obviously not happy to think Ale will be sharing his inheritance.

Drug dealer is visited by Medina, who offers him a deal: confess and I'll make sure you have to only serve a few years. Dealer says no thanks. the next scene has Angel's dad (whose name again escapes me) being furtively handed a switchblade by a guard, I think the blade is from Medina. No sooner has he pocketed the knife than Drug dealer spots him in the prison yard, comes over to accuse and argue with him for being a traitor. Angel's dad has his buddies pin down Drug Dealer, as he explains something (?) and then stabs him. Goodbye Drug Dealer.

The last scene is of Ale being checked into jail, the humiliation of having to state to the crime he's been accused of to the admitting guard, having his photo taken, and so forth. Ale gets to his cell and who is in a nearby cell but his old buddy, Amgel's dad! Angel's dad looks all teary-eyed as Ale gives him a venomous stinkeye.

END OF EPISODE!!! Didn't see the avances, but am sure they are MUST SEE TV!!!

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #5- Fri 3/14

De que está confundido, está confundido!

Diana and her honey enjoy some post-coital champagne.  She really needs to cut it out with all that "I love Diego" business.  You keep on using that word, Diana…I do not think it means what you think it means!

Abdul heard from Paolo that Diego showed up at the house and he's pissed.  He wants to go confront him, but Carmen tells him to stay out of trouble.  She makes him Vulcan-promise.

Diego was suspicious about not being able to get in touch with Diana.  She's doing a terrible job of lying, but it appears his suspicion was a ploy.  He tells her about hiring Karina and she whines about what an exhausting day she's had.  Diego's trying to chill out with some poetry, but he can't stop thinking about Natalia screaming at him earlier and he's incredibly confused about it.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #71 3/14/14- Shut up, Ara.

Scenes are combined and condensed.
Part 1
Dafne tells Art and Isa that Ara is a hipócrita and that she wants Este AND Javier. Ara denies this and says she's not interested in Este. Dafne says Ara broke the rules first. She begs Art to let her explain and drags him away.

We are "treated" to a nano-snippet of Bruno and Ally. How is Bruno not ready? When they first met he wanted to have kids. dAlly has always wanted to be a mom and now they have this opportunity. Aaaand cut to Art and Dafne mid-sentence. Thanks for the crappy edit, Univision.


Then we get 10 minutes of "she said, she said"


Dafne and Art:  Dafne just wanted to spend some time alone with Este since it's so uncomfortable with Ara and Javier always around. She swears she had no intention of any hanky panky. Ara is a beach and has been treating me like trash. She's wants to humiliate me.  She bad mouths Ara and thinks Ara has forgotten everything Art taught her. Art is the best dad. She gloms all over Art. The sound of her voice makes me want to do violent things. 


Isa and Ara: Dafne wants to sleep with Este and she's really pushing him. Isa wants to know why Ara is so worried about it? Ara says Este isn't in love with Dafne. Isa presses again "Why does is affect you so much?" Ara swears she's not in love with Este. Isa encourages her to forgive and forget and not throw away her friendship with Dafne. Art and Isa forgave all of Ara's bad behavior, didn't they?

Joaquin Arechiga Had A Job

Amalia Arechiga and her children, Angelica and Virginia, have never known just what Papa Joaquin did to make a living. He kept the family in fine style and, well, such questions can make for very awkward conversations. Really. Only Amalia’s Tia Prudencia seemed to have a handle on just how Joaquin made his money.

Mayor Pedro Medina and Joaquin are alone in the visiting room in the Aguazul jail. Pedro tells Joaquin that he is nothing more than collateral damage in Pedro’s grand scheme. Pedro threatens, once again, to make Joaquin’s daughter’s suffer if Joaquin does not make the telephone call. Joaquin takes Pedro’s cell phone makes a call.
“Is everything ready? I am away from Mexico but my associate, Alejandro Almonte, is ready to meet you. I’ll text you the address.”

The call is part of Pedro’s plan to set up Alejandro Almonte, to create the perception that he is an honest and truly, cross-my-heart-and-I-hope-to-die narcotraficante.

Joaquin makes the call and then bitterly turns to Pedro and says, “I have never mentioned your name to This Guy. I am not like you, Pedro. I have not betrayed you.”

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #48- 3/13/14- Night and Day



 

Hola Amiguis! The obsessed keep being obsessed, and MA really needs Ms Julia's, "Premier Design and Construction Company TM ". Want to know more, please read on to find out what the heck happened on this capitulo. Since I started the week with a nice Sinatra earworm, I leave you this week with another: Night and Day

Since MA helped Lupita with those wedding plans for CK (Chilly Killer's) godson, she will help him calculate how much it will cost for the supplies he needs to enlarge the Penthouse on the roof.

Oh, lookey here, who has dropped by the Fonda you ask? Sharky wanting his lana (money). He gets that from Lupe and offers MA a loan at 15% while Lupita is shaking her head at MA. So they go up to the Penthouse so MA can get something to sell to Sharkey for the money he needs for the Penthouse rehab. Some things are taken out, but there is that coat of AS', you know the one, 100% Chincilla! Sharkey tries it on, is luxurating in that fur and offers MA 4,000.00 Pesos for it. MA says it's worth at least 10,000.00 Pesos and not a penny less. They bargain back and forth and MA sells the Chincilla for 6,000.00 Pesos. Kaching! MA gets a reciept and the money in cash. Sharkey has tried on that fur again, as Lupita laughs and tells MA he now has enough for the materials.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #4- Thurs 3/13

De que ganaste el puesto, ganaste el puesto!

Natalia and her boss are reviewing the Help Wanted section together, trying to find something better suited to Natalia's new degree.  They find a secretarial position that just happens to need someone good with computers.  She calls and gets an interview the very next day.  Her boss gets to work making her a lucky new job vibes amulet.  She's clearly the nicest boss ever.

Diego's carjacker kindly requests his wallet.  At gunpoint.  He takes out the cash, then tosses the wallet itself out the window, where it's caught by Abdul.  Of all the stinking luck!  Two cops see this happen and think that means Abdul is the carjacker's accomplice and they haul him off to jail.  At the station, the guy taking Abdul's statement says he's heard the "I was just standing there and someone threw a wallet out of a car" story before.  He at least lets him make a couple of calls and get in touch with Padre Juancho.

Qué Pobres, Weds 3/12/14 (#47): Mike and Lupe Plan a Wedding

Beto looks as though he's going to collapse beneath the weight of all those roses. The snooty friends tell Ahole that Mini and Mom haven't been to the cloob all day. Enraged, Ahole tells Beto to throw the roses in the trash. No, Beto's not allowed to give them to his girlfriend - he must throw them out! He gets in a golf cart for a ride to the refuse area, but I bet those roses never quite make it into the trash...

At the market, Carmela and Guendy catch up on the Nepo/Lupita gossip, such as it is, and then Chilaquiler (Chila-Killer?) starts flirting with Carmela. He's reallllly looking forward to seeing her at his godson's wedding this weekend. Carmelita doesn't seem to hate the attention, but she's not comfortable with it either. She's even more uncomfortable with Guendy's enthusiasm, because in case you haven't noticed, Guendy is on a mission to get everybody in La Nopalera hooked up with someone! Chila-Killer is a very sloppy eater, too.

Speaking of slobs, JT is rubbing his armpits with his hands and sniffing them. (Didn't someone around here mention Mary Katherine Gallagher recently?) Frida claims to be horrified, but that doesn't explain why she continues to hang around and taunt him if he's truly as unbearably stinky as she claims. He puts his smelly hands on her face, and she just stands there complaining instead of running away to disinfect herself, so I still say it's love. Or at least pheromones, baby!
