Weekend Discussion: Are Novelas Getting More Violent?
We've referenced this before, but with the recent incidents in Lo Que La Vida Me Robo, Mentir Para Vivir, and even the attempted rape in De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero we can't help but wonder whether novelas in general are going down a slippery slope that can't be tilted back.
In a previous discussion on this issue we seem to have come to the consensus that the rise of the narco stories came from the networks' desire to get more male viewers. I don't know whether that's been working for them, but edgier has been the order of the day in all television and we need to ask ourselves whether there should be a limit. In the US there is an irrational fear of sexual content in ad-supported television which until relatively recently hasn't affected the Spanish-language networks very much. We're complaining here -- and justifiably -- when we become aware of hot love scenes being censored because they are censoring mostly scenes that show couples who actually love each other and actors who have the right chemistry to do scenes like that. Why are television networks so afraid of the conservative moral watchdogs who -- if they were truly what they say they are -- aren't even watching these programs and theoretically shouldn't care about them? These people don't control all the money in this country although they are trying hard. We should not allow them to get a foothold into our private lives.
Why instead are they not censoring violence? Violence is the real obscenity in modern society and the constant exposure to it takes away much of its shock value. The occasional violent scene with bruises, bloodshed, etc., can be powerful; too many such and people will begin to shrug it off. Is this some unconscious Darwinian element nobody has identified?
Villains are also becoming more perverse as we continue down this path. Porque el Amor Manda gave us a female villain who emotionally abused her own child (as in 5 years old in the opening of the story), Amor Bravio had a male villain who raped his own niece, even planning it so that it happened just as she became mayor de edad, and a sexual blackmailer forcing the heroine into her Tosca moment (as an opera fan I sometimes wish she would have taken the same action). LQLVMR and PSMA are currently giving us villains of such extreme sociopathy they're making our flesh crawl. Not an episode goes by on this blog that someone doesn't comment on that.
At the moment in a series like LQLVMR violence is the price tag we're paying for the otherwise good writing and the chemistry of the two leads. I'm not ready to walk away from such a situation, but if Televisa reads this blog, this is to let them know that there is only so much violence we should be able to tolerate in the name of ratings.
Sound off, amigos.

Lo que la Vida me Robo #98, 3/28/14: Unholy alliance?
 |
| Adolfo is put in a teensy bit of a difficult position here... |
A FEW HIGHLIGHTS, EXPANDED:
It turns out Ezequiel was bluffing with the whole Kill-Bitch-Maria-or-Else threat on Adolfo. The bullets in the gun were blanks. Maria is not amused. I think she'd be less amused if she actually died. But I digress. Ezequiel has this idea to take down Medina, so he needs Maria alive to witness against Medina when the time comes. Ez says that it's just a matter of time before that happens, as JL is already suspecting something. Ezequiel explains that he doesn't want to wait around for Medina to knock him off, he's going to get to Medina first! Adolfo is very contrite for pulling the trigger (which we know now had blanks) but Bitch Maria is not feeling forgiving. Ezequiel arranges for Bitch Maria to hide out with Esmeralda, who isn't too keen on hanging out with Maria. She assigns Maria maid duty for room and board. Maria feels this is "beneath" her. Esmeralda says well, leave then, and see how that works for you.
 |
| "Don't do it!" she begs him. Well, all things considered, maybe ...? She is such a pain in the neck, after all... |
 |
| After the gun has proven itself to be full of blanks, Ezequiel, with a sadistic sense of humor, laughs at both Bitch Maria's and Adolfo's distress. He then tells them that they are in it with him—they both get to live, but they have to help him take down Pedro Medina! It's an offer neither are in a position to refuse. |

Que pobres tan ricos #59 Mar 28 2014: Mini arrives at La Nopalera looking for MA... Nepo keeps hoping against hope, plans another proposal... A-hole wants to find dirt on Saul's past to force him to drop MA
MA and Saul at Chinese rest, MA very ansy about ‘how will we prove my innocence?’ Saul says ‘I wish I had the magic wand to solve this but I don’t.’ But he promises MA they will find a way out, just be patient. Won’t leave you alone.
The maid telling Mini that the RP do not live here… Isela rubs it on Mini, Mini whines back at her about not my fault MA lied to me. Isela suggests Mini ask MA directly where he lives. Mini responds ‘duh!! You are as dumb as blonde!’ I asked him a dozen times.
Lupe and MA, he kids around that he has as much of a money launderer as… then he changes the subject to her smile… someday I will solve my problems and will be able to leave here. (and get off your back)… he thanks her for listening, and leaves for work… Lupe stays there sort of sad, thinking (probably about the day he solves his problems and leaves)…
Tato receives a call from Mini… She gives him all kinds of excuses (birds on the wire, literally she said that!) about not contacting him before. She asks him to do her a favor. Tato says ‘well, maybe, maybe not, how about we discus it over coffee?’ He reminds her she called him ‘teto’ once (ouch!).. he brags about having a long career as a giggolo Mini suggests they meet at the café. He agrees and sends her a kiss.
Bambi arrives at his aunt’s house. He kisses her, she pulls his ears, not that happy to see him. Then he gives her a couple dozen excuses for not having come before. She asks him what he is here for. He says he has to hide here in her place for a while, not too long. She rants at him about remembering her only when he needs something. He tells her the story, the cops are after him. She says ‘I always knew it!’ She dies not want to be involved in his crimes… he has to beg her, kiss her hand many times… she says she will do it for his mother, not for him. You will not stay here lounging around while I am your maid. He swears he will do what she wants but as long as she won’t tell anyone he is here. He is still down on his knees… but finally she gives in.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #15- Fri 3/28
De que no renuncio, no renuncio
Diego asks what's it to Natalia if he gets divorced. "It bugs me that you're screwing up another woman's life the way you screwed up mine." He has no clue what she means, but she has a flashback and gets the hell out of there, insisting that she quits and she never wants to see him again.
Apparently, the sex trade is a new enterprise for The Shrimp, but he think he's going to like it. Ugh!
Diana, misguided Diana, thinks she's always acted the same, so clearly the problem here is that Diego wants someone else. Well, fine, if he wants a divorce, he's going to pay through the nose for it!
Skeevy guy in the blue shirt calls on 5 girls, including Brigitte, for callbacks. He asks them to be there bright and early tomorrow, and in bathing suits.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #82 3/28/14
The Univision broadcast continues to be a freezing, pixelated mess for me. Today the audio got involved, too. A 45 minute call to cable didn't seem to help. Here's what I got. If I have time tomorrow, I'll try to watch it on Hulu and get more details.
Isa goes into distress on the operating table. Dr. Sicko "spaces out". Luckily, someone (the anesthesiologist?) with morals/ethics is present and saves Isa. Dr. Sicko answers Art's text as Isa and flubs it. Isa doesn't eat with clients! Isa has to do a little lie juggling so she doesn't get caught. Art shows up to pick her up at the airport. "Oh, I took a different flight!" Gaby tells are there is no contract in Monterrey. "Oh, I just haven't closed it yet." She also has superhuman healing abilities.
Art and Bruno wait for results of the investigation into the explosion.
Osvy has a bachelor party with sexy hula dancer. Tita's party is populated with sexy bomberos. Dafne spikes the punch. Univision only let us see the aftermath. The gals are hung over and the wedding is canceled (again), but never fear...Osvy and Tita make up and have a lovely civil ceremony.
Isa and Ara come to a sort of truce, but Dafne immediately starts filling Ara's head with poison. "Your mom (Eugenia) would have really been on board with Javier." Dafne claims they are seeing another side of Isa and it's not pretty.
Dan confronts Sonia and won't shut up long enough to listen to her. He wants Sonia to help Mari, but she doesn't have to say anything about being her mom. He's willing to sacrifice his happiness. Sonia shrugs it off. "Fine, sacrifice."
Mari goes Corazon Indomable on Illeana's azz. (At Tita's wedding no less....a scene that loses its power with that ridiculous thing on Tita's head.) Dan is banned from Tita's house.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 97, We Clarify Recent Happenings; and Maria Prepares To Meet Her Maker, March 27, 2014
Robo
97
If
any of you viewers have the fortune to be joining us just now in the arc of
this telenovela, you have my sympathies. The first 80 episodes of the show
were, generally, very well written and superbly well acted. The protagonists
were hot, the actors were terrific and the setting in Campeche, MX was
appropriately populated with beautiful old homes and exotic locales.
THAT
is what all the fuss is about.
Now,
however, the good ship LQLVMR has entered the horse latitudes of telenovelas, wallowing
in a breezeless extension where gnawed up and bloated plot-ends spin around
our once-swift ship, impeding progress and generally stinking up the place.
For
this reason, we will now spend some time clarifying the recent pertinent
history of the characters we see tonight in order to put on us all on the same
page. There are only a couple of important new events in tonight’s show. We
will get to those after sorting out the ‘Recent Background To The Story’.
The
Way Robo Rolls
Pedro
Medina is the Shelob of spiders around whom the whole plot of Lo Que La Vida Me
Robo now devolves. He is the Presidente Municipal (Mayor) of the city of Aguazul,
a town that very closely resembles Campeche, Mexico. His web extends from the historic
looking yellow City Hall and jail in the center of town out in vast
interconnected and sticky concentric circles to the rich haciendas and empty
lands on the outskirts of town.

It's just one more thing to deal with.

Qué Pobres, Weds 3/26/14 (#57): In Which Alejo Is Taunted with Bland Soup
New stuff in RED:
Even though the family jewels were saved, Ahole will never have children. Unfortunately, however, he'll still recover to the point where he'll be able to have a full sex life. (Really? Because it was pathetic before.) The doctor says he'll have to stay in the hospital for two weeks.
When the doctor mistakes Vilma for Ahole's wife, Ahole protests: "As if I would have such bad taste!"
Mini and Isela ask Vilma who shot Ahole. Vilma stammers, says it was an accident, Ahole got mad and needed to defend his honor, and... she is interrupted by a call from Bambi. If we heard/saw any of this call, I must have missed it. Maybe she rejected it.
Ahole tells Mini that he needs to talk to her. However, they are constantly interrupted by Isela and Vilma and Ahole never gets to drop the verbal hammer on Mini.
Mini doesn't want to stay overnight at the hospital with Ahole, but Vilma eagerly volunteers. Ahole insults her and she begins to leave, but then he begs her not to leave him all alone. The next morning, arising from the floor where she slept by his bed, she announces triumphantly, "We slept together!"
MA tells Frida that their mother stole the 300,000 pesos the Menchacas were going to use to finish paying off the house. Frida is impactada. She also says something about the chicken that she had tried to rescue from the Menchacas and which pooped on AS's head, but I didn't catch all of it.

Por Siempre Mi Amor- #80-I Thought That I Saw a Ghost; and He Has a Friend's Who's Name is Gonzalo Carvajal
Happy Humpday!! Just a couple of bullets about tonight's episode. Let's discuss:
· Gonzalo lies that he stabbed GMeanie in self-defense
· Lucha tells Isa that Dante is her son. Dante
is less than pleased
· Gonzo makes his one phone call to Dante.
· Isa and Art are looking for Efren, but to no
avail.
· Andrea will press charges on Gonzo and
confronts Gonzo.
· Gonzo lies to Andrea about being paid in
advance for acts of revenge in Fer/Javier's name against Andrea.
· Mau gives Este the news of GMeanie's death.
· Andrea finds out Gonzalo Carvajal's full name
and the lawyer deduces that Gonzalo is a criminal and one of the partners in
the business associated with Este. Since the business was an illegal
front, and Este's boss is a kidnapper and a murderer, the charges will be
dropped.
· Este is free.
· At GMeanie's funeral- Andrea recognizes
Javier as Fernando.
· Dan wants to trick Mari, by thinking that he
is dating Ileana.
· Dante visits Gonzo in jail- Gonzo threatens
to sing like a canary if Javier doesn't come through.
· Andrea and Isa put their heads together and
realize that Gonzo's revenge is a plan masterminded by Fernando. Andrea and Isa
realize that they didn't identify Fern's body.
· Este and Ara almost kiss but remember that
they are not a couple.
· Sucia is desperate to find Cuca.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robó, #96, 3-26-2014: Pedro keeps up the reign of terror, though now even his minions are starting to say ¡Ya Basta!
“The greatest happiness is to scatter your enemy and drive him before you, to see his cities reduced to ashes, to see those who love him shrouded in tears, and to gather to your bosom his wives and daughters.”
Oh, Pedro, Pedro. Before I begin tonight's recap, I am going to pay a grudging homage to your tremendous and terrible ambition. No doubt, you have studied many historical models of tyranny and abuse of power and have your list of personal favorites:
I have to admit that things have been looking pretty good for you lately, and that in episode #96 you have sunk to new lows that must be very pleasing to you.

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #13 3/26/14
I'm having all kinds of cable/connection issues tonight, so this is going to be kind of crappy. It's all out of order and combined.
- Natalia can't believe Diego is married. She thinks he would have said something. She tries to ask Albogado about it, but a phone call from Diego interrupts them. Diego asks her to get some contracts from his office and bring them to him. Of course she sees the wedding picture. She's very upset and asks him to transfer her to another department. He balks at that. She tells him to either transfer her or she'll quit. He wonders if it bothers her that he's married. She claims it doesn't.
- Diego confesses to Albogado that now that he's seen Nat again, his feelings for her have been reawakened. He's sure she feels the same way. He was just really upset by the gossip about her running off with that guy (what was his name again?) and he just married Diana out of spite, though he really did think he loved Diana at the time. Now she's just frivolous and immature. He's ashamed of her behavior with Nat. Albogado thinks Diego needs to talk to Diana and clear things up since that's what married folks do...unless of course Diego is thinking of leaving her.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #79- March 25, 2014- GMeanie- R.I.P.
RECAP BY CORAZONSALVAJE:
Mauricio, Edgar and Arturo confront
Efrain about this injustice and he denies all mercy. He doesn't care about
Esteban's predicament at all.
-Isabel and Alacranza are about to
begin arguing when Dafne comes in and then Aranza begins to pick her bones with
Dafne until she gets the idea to go see Esteban in his cell. Tenderness in that
scene where they get practically let each other know they're still in love with
each other and want to get back to the old days (think Perdoname by Camilo
Blanes.)
-Dafne is bitching to Isabel about how
bad her loins burn for Esteban and that Aranza had her chance. Isabel notes
that maybe Aranza is still in love and Dafne scoffs at that. She also bitchily
asks what is wrong with Esteban being her boyfriend and notes 'Za had her
chance.
-More jail tenderness and 'Za lets
BonBon know he is one of her best friends. He takes her hand through the cell
and touches it to his heart.
-Isa is fending off Daffne's bitchiness
and moments like this makes you think, there have barely been any slaps in this
novela, one is due RIGHT NOW!
-I think our last scene of BonBon/'Za
jubilee for the day.
-Mauricio's feather are really ruffled
about this as he, Art Dad and Edgar take it outside and devise a plan (and with
72 hours only!) I can only imagine the craziness if he got a finger on
Methuselah's hairy chin; It would have been more violent than when Meth. got
beat up at the beginning!
-Our last scene of Daffne/Isa tedious
angst for the day. (HOPEFULLY!)
-Finally we have a better storyline!
Angelito is with Borlas (clad in black tank top) and DannyBoy (clad in purple
shirt) They have brought him to go see Minerva and Angelito wants to introduce
Borlas and DannyBoy to 'Drea and 'Va (Minerva)
-(Ugh, back too soon) FeVer is with 'Za
eating lunch (and so I don't lose mine, I will leave it at that)
-Theme
Song-
-Back
with Angelito and the super boys (and gone too soon)
-More
FeVer grossness (with a twist, EffinRain -Methuselah- is on the phone with him
and I can't stand to look at, let alone talk about that beast. Do his pubic
hairs grow on his face!)
-Andrea
is leaving Angelito with 'Va for a little and after 'Drea leaves, 'Va prays for
everyone's well-being.
-Bro
to Bro with Art Dad and Fabric. discussing BonBon's dilemma.
-'Drea
is getting out of seeing BonBon when she hugs Isa and Daffne. They all lament
in unison. Mauricio comes in and lets them know they have 72 hours.
-More
bro-to-bro.
-More
lamenting
-Borlas
and DannyBoy are sitting guard outside and get bored so they actually do
something. They go to see 'Va and let her know they saved Angel.
-Mauricio
is giving BonBon the skinny
-Isa
is on the phone and gets the news. She and 'Drea hug.
-Borlas
and Angelito give 'Va the skinny now.
-'Drea
is with Mauricio lamenting asking who could be responsible for so much horror
and misfortune?
-'Va
meets Borlas and DannyBoy as a duo and they tell her not to call the police
since the kidnapper lives in the vecindad. She objects but "follows
through" with it.
-Bruno
is playing with Gabs' belly (yep you heard that right)
-When
our hero duo let 'Va know who -Gonzalo- was the kidnapper, she blows a gasket
and walks off in a huff. She goes to see Angel, tells him she must leave for a
minute and when she returns, he isn't there! He is outside playing with a ball
and it falls over the rail. He walks downstairs to get it and kicks it towards
a door where behind Gonzalo and Dante are concocting another evil cockamamie
scheme! Angelito goes running to see Borlas and Daniel who are with Agatha. He
tells them who he heard when 'Va comes in and finds Angel. He tells them again
Gonzalo is present and evil brewing! The police arrive in the nick of time and
Gonzalo hears the sirens; he's out! When 'Va hears that Gonzalo is in the
building, she doesn't waste any time in letting him get away and sees him
through the doorway, she flies over to him (IT'S A MIRACLE!) throwing away the
cane and jostles him. Borlas and DannyBoy come out and Gonzalo had 'Va in a
headlock. She cusses him out as he drags her out with his dagger to her neck
and she bites him. Get ready...................HE STABS HER PLAIN IN THE
STOMACH! Good thing the police are right there. DannyBoy coaches 'Va to look at
him and not into the light. Borlas runs back in to call an ambulance & let
Agatha know what happened and soon he and DannyBoy will go see Andrea and Mauricio.
Dante (I hope no one forgot he was there) just watched all this and said
nothing. (I think since Gonzo betrayed him the moment the police came, he is
going to let FeVer know and try to become his henchman of the month.)
-End
-of- Capitulo-
(The Scene where 'Va is on her deathbed
asking for forgiveness from 'Drea was beautiful. I didn't see such a big anvil
for 'Va. This was completely unexpected but at least she died a noble death. As
for Gonzalo, this must be the beginning of the anvils.)

Que Pobres tan Ricos #56, 25 Mar 2014. I am afraid, Emiliano, that you will only be able to have half-siblings... or is that a blessing?
Mini threats MA … plays the amazon girl script… he insists he only wants to get the proof she found against A-hole. MA gets it.. ‘you didn’t find anything, did you?’ Outside, A-hole points the gun at the house… the driver and Vilma keep trying to make him change his mind. Driver says his woman did the same to him, ‘peleselo!!’ (go for it, shoot him!)
At fonda kitchen, Lupe is cutting some poor small green pumpkins like she is killing bugs… Lupe swears to Carmelita that MA is two-faced. What did he do? He is playing with two women. One of them married. He said ‘I only care about being with you’ to her on phone. Carmelita can’t believe it. Lupe is mad at herself for having jumped into the wolf’s mouth. Carmelita says what if you are wrong and you are making the wrong conclusions? Maybe this all has an explanation and you will save your liver some pain if you listen to him. Lupe insists that MA is two-faced, he is meeting the woman at a field house (casa de campo). Noone will play with me again. Carmelita insists until you ask him and find out the whole story you are hurting yourself.

Lo que la vida me robó, ep. 95, Tues. 3/25/14: Take a Letter, María
Have you ever heard of Saluggi? It was a game that kids used to play in the Bronx in the 1950's, often during recess in the schoolyard. It went like this: somebody would snatch away a hat or a glove or even a jacket from another kid and throw the object to someone else. That person, in turn, would throw it to a third person and then a fourth or fifth or sixth. Meanwhile, the owner of the purloined object would be jumping in the air, trying to recover what had been taken, usually without success. The taunting would continue until the players got bored or the bell rang, and everyone had to line up for class.
[Mr. Maven tells me they did the same thing in New England, but they called it Keep Away. And they didn't really think of it as a game -- it was just another way kids tortured each other.]
Tonight, my friends, the episode is one big game of Saluggi. Joaquín Arechiga's suicide note is tossed from one player to the next while Pedro Medina scrambles to retrieve it. [And just for the record: if Pedro Medina had been a student in the charged, Darwinian atmosphere of P.S. 82 in those days, his huevos would have been revueltos long before his twentieth birthday.]
