RECAPPER-SPECIFIC GLOSSARY

Recaplet – A very short recap (Blue Lass on CQM)

Mini-recaplet – An even shorter recap (Somewhere in the mists of Caray, brought back by Doris in Y Mañana Será Otro Día.)

Bunnycap – Variation on the above (Susanlynn meant to say Bonny Recap, but tablet didn’t like it and preferred Bunnycap.)

Recrap – To be forced to produce a cogent retelling of an episode which is totally indigestible; commonly applied when the whole telenovela falls into this category.

Craptastic – Late addition provided by Doris, remembering Beckster who used it in FELS to explain crap that is fantastic. (Example: Seriously, we spent the first two nights of this craptastic story, watching Bernardo make sweet Feb/Dec love to young mentally deficient Libia. (Feb/Dec as in not even in the same year).….Since that time we have endured the same drawn out, overplayed hand. The only thing that has changed is somewhere along the dull endless path, Sofie popped a kid out, Juan went on a sabbatical to visit Indians, who thought he was smart, how sad is that?)

Good Day, Caraymates!

Welcome to pg. 1 for this week! “Me Declaro Culpable” starts on Monday and many of us are looking forward to seeing this TN with so many beautiful people…we hope that their talent is used wisely. Judy will again be heading the recapping on this show with Doris and Anita as her cohorts; so we’re in for some very snarkilicious treats. If some other brave soul(s) would like to contribute a recap or just some highlights for MDC, I’m sure the help would be appreciated; a heads up to JudyB in the comments will be helpful so that recaps won’t be duplicated. This week, on this page, we have…

3PM Me Declaro Culpable: Eps. 1-3

PATIO-SPECIFIC GLOSSARY

Patio of Lowered Expectations – A virtual location furnished with tables, umbrellas and drinks of choice. Viewers choose a table around which to congregate and support characters. Seats not reserved. Shifting to other tables usually follows shifting plot lines. Viewerville has learned that in order to enjoy this patio, love, ecstasy, hope, solid storyline and believable characters are rare, but enough to make it possible to get to La Boda at the end. (Note: In the last couple of years, bodas have fallen out of favor, replaced by a paltry El Fin—thus further lowering expectations.)

Petite Patio – This occurs when a telenovela sinks under its own weight due to an atrocious story, regardless of the quality of the cast, direction and filming. As the Patio shrinks, what is left is the Petite Patio, committed to each other, rather than to the telenovela. (JudyB, in reference to the Patio during Y Mañana Sera Otro Día.)

Good Day, Caraymates!

Welcome to pg. 2 of our afternoon delight! “Hijas” is over and done with “POR FIN!” but I’m still posting the page to allow for post commentary…and to allow for the different celebrations that the patio may want to have. Congratulations to Judy, Doris, and Anita for soldiering on and providing such extraordinary recaps. You all should receive Medals of Honor, but since I don’t have that authority, you’ll have to settle for flowers, chocolates, Oreos and wine…or feel free to BYOT (bring your own treats) to the party!!

We have “Me Declaro Culpable” starting on Monday, Feb. 17^th, so if someone would like to provide some info on that, you are very welcome to do so. Doris had provided a link to “Stevie’s Notes” some time back. It’s an excellent resource that gives very good info on “Culpable.” Here is the link in case someone missed it when Doris posted it.

Here are the current evening telenovelas (all times are Eastern Standard Time):

9-10PM - La Doña 2
10-11PM - Operación Pacífico

Operación Pacífico is a police procedural telenovela that Telemundo promises will be very different from any shown before. It centers around heroes who fight for justice and against corruption. The protagonist is Amalia Ortega, a brave woman who is developing as a wife and mother; and, at the same time, is a Captain in a Secret Investigative Unit of the police. It will be nice to see Majida Issa as a "good guy"!
