La Chica de Ayer - Final Episode Commentary

Capitulo 8  

 

 

 

 

Last episode ever, and I’m sad already. First chance on the computer all day, it’s 9:35pm, and in contrast to last week, it doesn’t look as if the ep is up yet. I suppose it makes more sense to wait until after it’s finished airing in Spain, which I suppose will be 22:20 BST.

 

So, I finally found the ep at 22:15, but I had to go via Antena3videos and search for it. And it’s taking forever to buffer! WHYWHYWHY.

 

Right: summary - I enjoyed this episode, and was very anxious to see how it all turned out. I don’t do clever analysis, and I don’t understand most of what was said. So this is about my visual impressions, and my little excitements about understanding a few words. Oh, and the awesome that is Inspector Jefe Joaquin Gallardo - that man is gorgeous. With lots of love to [info]clonesgirl, my fellow-traveller on this short and slightly bitter-sweet journey, and many thanks to [info]may_potter and [info]lynx_moon at [info]lcda.

 

  

Cut for Spoilers and Squee )

I have thoroughly enjoyed this show, even without understanding most of what was said. I have quite fallen in love with Quin, and I really got to like Samuel, too. In some ways I even like him more than UK Sam. It’s a great pity Antena3 didn’t give this show a fair chance in a timeslot it could have won, because some of the series two stories would have been awesome with Gallardo y Samuel.

 

I loved this show, and I will miss it very much.

La Chica de Ayer - Capi 1.07 Commentary

 

They clearly do things quite differently in Spain! I got an email from [info]clonesgirl at around 5 or 6pm to tell me this episode was up on the website - several hours before transmission. I was so annoyed about waiting four hours to get on the computer to start watching,

 
Overall assessment - not enough Gallardo! This has been an episode where I really wish I understood what’s going on. The story seems quite different from any of the UK stories, and I’m quite lost! This is the first episode I’ve watched straight through without stopping all the time to translate stuff; it’s also the first one I’ve watched more or less “live”, so I haven’t been able to see what other people have said about it to help understand. So I definitely need to watch again soon.

La Chica de Ayer - Episode 1.04 Commentary

Note to self from 1.03 commentary:

 

In the trailer for Capitulo 4, I think Quin calls Sam señorita again, and does he call him Karina? It’s probably “cariño” which means - Sweetheart!!

 

This seems to be the June episode - we see Sam scrubbing blood off the street, and we see the girl in a hospital bed. I hope they have the post-coital ciggie scene!

(By the way, there is a spoiler for a part of the episode where their plot is different from the UK original.)

 

 

 

So, here we go: )

La Chica de Ayer - Episode 6 now up
.
[info]clonesgirl has let me know that Antena 3 have now made Capi 6 available at their site; I haven't had time to watch it all yet, but we see some more examples of Samuel realising just how different the world was back then, especially for women.

Go to Antena 3 Videos and click on La Chica de Ayer underneath the video window. Icons for all six parts of Ultimo Capitulo come up at the top right of the screen.

It's a little difficult for those of us who don't speak Spanish to get the full value yet, but I'm enjoying this series very much anyway, and I laughed at the scene where Quin is forced to apologise to a group of women and thank them for all sorts of things. (What, I don't know. But it was funny anyway.)

Do leave a comment over at [info]lcda if you have anything to say about the episode. Most of us are not in any position for intelligent debate and analysis on the ep or the series yet, so feel free to make any observations you like!

ETA: There may be spoilers in the comments.
