the money heist spin off kind of sucked except when they brought alicia sierra in for the last two episodes. she was smart as hell, frenchphobic and flirted shamelessly with a french milf and raquel. exactly what i wanted to see <3

How do you feel when you watch the spin off? What do you think of it? And do you like it? For me, I sort of like eps 1-4, the rest are just meh, I couldn't bring myself to care for the other characters, I tried. And I was very confused, what year the spin off?. It started off good and... Idk. All I can say is that Andres truly belong in the asylum. That man creeps me out. If I were Camille, I ran away the second I saw that creep. Lol.
Hello anon! I couldn't answer you earlier because I didn't get to watch it. But now I've finished it and, hum, I certainly have a lot of thoughts that I'll probably post later LOL.
For now, here are the most fresh on my mind. I agree with you- eps 1-4 were surprisingly good, last one was pretty cool too, ralicia supremacy. I was mostly just surprised I didn't dislike it. Can't say I loved it, or that it's my ideal berlin spinoff, but for all the "factors" against it that Pina chose of his own free will asdfasdf, it turned out surprisingly OK.
Spinoff takes place around 2013, according to Pina. Which messes with the canon timeline so much we'll just have to see it as a parallel universe where time doesn't matter.
I now call spinoff!Andres my wife. I don't know if that's a good thing or not. So unfortunately, I cannot slander my bride like that.
But I liked that he was still a freak. The show didn't try to make him a better person thankfully, but I think a lot of the reviews were complaining about him being an asshole or complaining that he was ruined for not being enough of an asshole, missed the mark a bit. The main problem, if we have to pick one, about him, is that the context around him is too shallow to take seriously. His speeches about love have no substance (and they actually did in lcdp) because the circumstances have no substance. He's putting romance above the heist because well, why shouldn't he lmao? There's no personal stake here, and it's not like he'll get capital punishment for getting caught.
And that "problem" extends to everyone else. Their motives and actions are just very shallow and There for the sake of being there. Like Roi and Cameron could have had a moving romance, but instead Cameron made me cringe very badly with how much she felt like Alex Pina's idea of "hawt gurl with sad past!!" And said "sad" past was actually really fucked up but the story didn't seem to think so!? It wasn't a tragic romance--it was a 20-something musician sleeping with a 15yo fangirl, abducting her, and then traumatizing her so badly she entered the asylum and ended up hanging out with berlin. Like????
I'll say I misunderstood Keila though. Liked her a lot better in the show than the trailers. But everytime I went "oh, I like her uwu" she'd do something that makes me GAG like inhaling Bruce's sweat or licking his spoon asdfasdf Also the part where she confessed her love for him after the snake bite gave me secondhand embarrassment. None of the love stories felt lasting, believable, or touching to me. Probably because there were too many of them and it was even more convenient than lcdp proper!
Bruce was different than I expected. He's insensitive, but not "dumb" like the character descriptions made him out to be. Same as Keila. Everytime I thought "I like him uwu" he'd do something like talk about pubic hair or cover himself in oil/water, instantly making me die.
Damian is Sergio 2.0 and also Martin 2.0, but straight and old. No strong feelings for him either way. But it was funny that Andres got so mad about sharing a bed with him, when he was willingly hopping into bed with Martin LMAO. Also ngl, it stung my little berlermo heart to see Damian and Andres sing karaoke and go on a lover's bike ride together.
Roi was my favorite new member. He felt like a real original character, and his relationships with Cameron and Andres were nicely fleshed out even if they both confused me. Cameron because the romance was shallow to me. Andres because Roi never told us how they met or why Andres took him in. Andres giving Roi advice on temper control is also hilarious. We'll just have to assume that Andres is willing to raise everyone's kid except his own. He even took that one boy to the bathroom asdfasdf
But overall, I agree anon. I just didn't care for the new characters the same way I did the old gang or the cormorants. Maybe because the stakes were too low or because they were always beautiful and perfect (except Damian lol) no matter the situation. I personally think the producers were trying very hard to create new stars with this show, so they aggressively showed off Pina's flashy new blorbos (cameron, keila, bruce, and roi) but you can't force popularity. This is also my conspiracy theory for the lack of Sergio- they knew having the profesor here would take too much attention from the flashy new blorbos.
Not much to say about Camille. Was hoping she'd be cooler/smarter than this, but what kind of smart woman would not see the red flags in Andres LMAO. Wasn't surprised when Polignac turned out to be an asshole either- man just has the face of a jerk. Was disappointed that they didn't have a threesome with Andres. And the smartest person was Camille's friend.
Lastly, SAME ANON LOL Andres was an insane stalker, off the wall crazy and so annoying about it too. I wish Camille would have slapped him in the end, but oh well- at least their storyline didn't end as stupidly as it could have. She got her money at least XD Hopefully she's not dumb enough to reunite with him (and if she's wife no. 4 we know it didn't work out already).
Does the show deserve a season 2? No. Will I watch season 2? Yes LOL
Main takeaways:
Romance 1/10 Heist 7.5/10 Pedro's face 11/10 New characters 2/10 (not sharing all of their backstories or why/how they ended up in berlin's gang was a major weak point imo) Story 5/10
A solid 7/10 if we don't compare it to lcdp.

Berlin (2023) fresh, vague-ish impressions
All in all? Fun. Ridiculous in parts. Enjoyable. Did I mention ridiculous?
Tumblr media
TL;DR - Throughout the whole series, Berlin has a little devil on one shoulder (the thief in him) and a literal erect penis on the other driving all his dumbass decisions.
It's uncanny how much Berlin, with his high-tech creeping and immediately falling in deep and obsessive love reminds me of Joe from You. Although the relationship does provide with moments of hilarity and entertainment (and Camille looks so much like Tatiana I can't)
Tumblr media
Ralicia in this?
Tumblr media
Related, an actual quote from Berlin (2023)
YOU'RE MENSTRUATING NITROGLYCERINE.
Oh and Andres is still an asshole and a creep who believes in the bullshit he says. :)

Finally gathered teh courage to watch the Berlin trailer and... big cringe. i don't like the whole vibes of it, i don't believe them when they say its gonna be better than lcdp. i don't care about the new gang and andrés? i have a feeling they gonna ruin his character with this. i'm honestly glad that sergio and martin are not part of this. the only thign i'm looking forward is ralicia. (sorry for the negativity, maybe it's gonna be the best show of the century lol)
Heyheyhey!!!
Let's talk about your thoughts before I talk about mine: thank you first of all for popping by ♥️ Do come back if you'd like once you've seen the show, I'd love to hear if you still feel the same 👀 And I pretty much agree on everything you said. I don't feel like Martín would fit the tone they're going for with this show, they'd probably relegate him to being like, a fun sidekick cracking jokes or something - pass. Let me keep one half of the ship I still really like as a character. Ralicia could have actual potential though, their history seems of interest, so I hope they at least give us something there.
Other than the incessant need to turn everything into a franchise and milk audience goodwill until it runs dry, I think there's very little need for this to be about Berlín or set in the LCDP universe, if they don't really care about following up or building up on... anything, really. But I hope I'm wrong! Maybe I'm misjudging them! Maybe the advertising has done them dirty! In which case I'm so sorry to be a downer. I'm trying my hardest to not hate it on principle.
And for want of something positive to say, the smallest compliment sandwich you've ever seen: the bit they posted a couple days ago at Fontana di Trevi seemed a little promising? That was more of the vibe I wish this show had, haha.
They really want to hype up the new banda and I'm always unironically heartbroken when they call this Andrés's golden era and his dream team (I cannot remember the wording but you know what I mean). Maybe I'm overly invested and clinging too hard to the parts of pre-established canon that I like, so sue me. I know I should be taking this much less seriously and I might even enjoy it; instead I'm fretting over how I can possibly fit all these different Andréses into one person for writing purposes - let alone remaining invested in him as a character. I've already said this before, but S5 already did a world of harm in how much I like him, so.
I've had nightmares about this show, actually :D In one, they declared in the advertising that his third wife was the love of Andrés's life and if I want to know how he really felt about Martín, I should watch the show - and then proceeded to never mention him again 🔪
And haha you needn't apologise to me for the negativity - if the show turns out to be amazing, feel free to call me a fool :) Though I'm sure Pedro can carry quite a lot even if it's bad. I watched Gran Hotel last summer.
Anyway, I hope you take care, anon!! Do come back to me if you'd like, and have a lovely rest of the year :)
And buena suerte.

literally including Raquel was one of the most genius moves of Pina, I remember like 80% of Serquel fans saying they would never watch Berlin but now they will LMFAO. or the people saying Berlin show will be shit they should have done a Ralicia show instead and it is here haha, Pina can be really brilliant sometimes.
It REALLY was. Man instantly knew what he had to do to ensure the show is a success and gets a second season and didn't hesitate to do it. All my respect. And the way we can already tell it worked so well quhskqks what a man

La Ruta de las Abejas
Tumblr media
Me enteré de «La Ruta de las Abejas» por un conversatorio que se dio en el Centro Cultural de España en El Salvador. Realmente, yo no asistí al conversatorio, sino que me di cuenta a través de redes sociales que el autor había estado hablando sobre el libro y su secuela. La portada me llamó mucho la atención así que decidí investigar el libro en goodreads. El libro trae en su carátula una abeja dorada al centro de un círculo que emula una brújula. La abeja está rodeada de destellos y líneas brillantes que le dan un aspecto mágico. En la contraportada, el libro habla de un chico que se encaminará en un viaje, luego de un inesperado encuentro con dos personajes, que cambiará su vida. La descripción es mucho más mágica, pero es esa en esencia. Los comentarios sobre el libro no los leí. No suelo leerlos antes de leer el libro porque no me gusta predisponerme o que me spoileen. Siempre los leo después.
Conseguí el libro, a pesar de que el tomo II está agotado ―ya saben, la espera puede ser cruel para la lectora que empieza una saga―; y empecé con mi aventura. Al abrirlo, lo primero que encontré es un mapa de «Trunaibat el continente y el Valle de Las Nieblas». En él, se puede observar las principales locaciones en las que se desarrollará la historia: habla de Eldin Menor al sur del continente junto con Eldin Mayor, el País de los Ralicias y Porthos Embilea, entre otros. El Valle de las Nieblas al centro del continente, como dividiendo las tierras y, luego al norte está la región de los hamir, Alción, la región de los devoradores de serpientes y el Árbol de Homa, entre otros. Vemos regiones boscosas y otras montañosas. Vemos ríos que cruzan el continente, islas que lo rodean y ciudadelas construidas dentro del mismo.
Todo el ambiente para una aventura la encontré al inicio. Era hora de empezar a leer. Empecé en Eldin Menor, donde describe a nuestro protagonista. Un chico solitario, con ánimos de ser apreciado en su comunidad, que tiene intenciones ―que siempre se quedan en intenciones― de salir del lugar donde se encuentra. Quizá regresar a lugares ya conocidos como Férula, la isla al sur del continente, o a Porthos Embilea de donde tiene recuerdos cálidos con su abuelo. Siempre lo ha pensado desde niño, y ya ahora joven, sigue pensándolo sin animarse de verdad. Además de eso, pues no parece que tenga un interés en particular. Eso es, claro, a excepción de Maara, una de las chicas de la comunidad.
En la víspera del solsticio de primavera, Lobías Rumin, nuestro protagonista, conoce a Lóriga y a Alanu Atu Tamín ―mejor conocido como Nu―; en lo que él pensó que era un robo en el establo de su tío Doménico, pero que resultó ser el momento que cambió su vida. Lóriga y Nu van en busca del Árbol de Homa, razón por la cual deben atravesar el temido Valle de la Niebla. Después de advertirles sobre el peligro y la locura que intentaban realizar, Lobías los despide y se queda pensativo, como quien es llamado a la aventura.
El libro inicia súper bien. La caracterización del personaje principal te hace comprender por qué al final acepta acompañar a los Ralicias, Lóriga y Nu, en su aventura hasta el Árbol de Homa, que es el primer Árbol del mundo. Por qué busca cambiar su vida y alejarse del lugar que habita. Se siente un ambiente de cambio incluso, cuando Leónidas Blumge, bisabuelo de Maara, le dice que sepa escuchar al viento. Que, el viento trae un sobreaviso de guerra y que hay que estar preparados. Hay una especie de deseo o invitación al cambio al inicio del libro, lo que nos prepara para seguir adelante leyendo. ¡Ah! Y aunque no se dan muchas descripciones del físico de los personajes, se entiende que son antropomórficos.
Lobías Rumin no es en realidad astuto, o alguien que resalte por sus características. No es habilidoso con la espada, ni específicamente valiente, tampoco es bien querido en su comunidad; lo único que lo diferencia de los demás es haber presenciado a un domador de tornados en la cima de una colina, sin que alguien creyera su historia. La trama se va desarrollando poco a poco cuando decide cruzar la niebla oscura y peligrosa, aquella de la que se cuentan historias de espectros y muerte. Así, siguiendo a las abejas Morneas, se adentra junto sus compañeros a la oscuridad y conoce vestigios de otras civilizaciones. Civilizaciones que fueron sometidas y asoladas por el Rey Mago Mahut. Encuentra construcciones diferentes a las avistadas por él con anterioridad, criaturas mágicas que solo despiertan por la noche, cavernas profundas donde nunca se hubiese pensado que habiten algunos.
Encuentra a Ballaby, sobre todo. Una chica que presagia el futuro y que se empeña en llevar a Lobías Rumin al Árbol de Homa sin decirle a nadie por qué. El autor, poco a poco nos va comentando sobre el bagaje y la historia de los personajes que vamos encontrando. Manteniendo la importancia del nombre, de las familias y de las costumbres que pertenecen a cada uno.
En el camino, Jorge Galán, va estableciendo todo un universo imaginario bastante variado, donde encontramos hombres con escamas o parecidos a los lobos. Magos y videntes. Gigantes y estatuas que cobran vida. Sin embargo, quiero ser honesta, conforme pasan las páginas la lectura se va volviendo un tanto confusa. Hay ciertos vacíos que no puedo rellenar por mi cuenta y hay ciertas contradicciones. Por ejemplo:
1. Describe a Lobías como un Malavista, aislado, sin compañeros ni nadie quien lo comprenda. Hasta el tío le ha construido una habitación separada de la casa. Sin embargo, en el capítulo 12, Lobías dice que le gustaba ir con sus amigos a las colinas. Que subían a los árboles y que se contaban historias sobre la Niebla. ¿Cuáles amigos, si lo ha descrito como solitario? Desde que llegó a los 9 años a Eldin Menor lo consideraron como tal, porque fue poco después de llegar que tuvo la visión del domador de tornados.
2. En el capítulo 26 dice que los caballos saben distinguir los vivos de los muertos, bufando. Sin embargo, a todo esto, ya ha pasado la experiencia con el chico sin nombre de capa. El cual los lleva al castillo. El que creyeron que era un espectro, tal vez sin que él mismo lo supiera. Los caballos estuvieron cerca de él y permanecieron tranquilos.
3. En el capítulo 34 nos cuenta sobre la historia de la familia de By, sus antepasados y las mujeres de su ascendencia que tenían los mismos poderes que ella. Cuenta sobre el presagio de la inundación, pero en ningún momento aclara que Bania se fue a vivir a los bosques del continente. Es solo cuando Syma lo solicita y que asociamos el hecho de que sobrevivió a la inundación que nos damos cuenta de que es en el continente y no en otra de las islas del archipiélago.
Son detalles, que te hacen salir un poco del ambiente de la lectura. Sí son varios, la verdad. Y eso hace que te sumerjás en el libro, difícil. El estilo de escritura es rico en vocabulario, pero fácil de seguir, es decir, a pesar de los vacíos que podés llegar a encontrar.
Creo yo, que al final, la historia que quiere contar es como Lobías es el elegido para leer el libro que está en el Árbol de Homa que despertará a los domadores que vencerán en la guerra. No necesariamente nos describe una transformación del personaje o de el resto de personajes. Porque, por ejemplo, Lóriga y Nu no llegan a ver el Árbol, que es por lo que habían emprendido su viaje. Lobías no necesariamente hace amigos en el camino. En realidad, no se siente un ambiente de camaradería con ninguno de los otrxs aventurerxs, incluyendo a Lóriga y Nu. No se vuelve más hábil en algo, no se cuestiona nada. Sino que, como es el elegido, puede leer el Libro. No necesita hacer nada. Él ya es lo que necesita ser. Por eso el final, puede dejar un poco de sin sabor. Otro aspecto es que no sabemos nada del por qué de las guerras al norte del Valle de la Niebla. Simplemente se dan. Esto puede que sea aclarado en la secuela, pero por ahora, solo leyendo el primer libro, sí quedás como a quien dejan sin explicación. Creo que hasta me cuesta entender si Lobías es de Férula o de Porthos Embilea originariamente.
El libro es entretenido. Les suceden algunas cosas a los personajes en un mundo fantástico y lleno de magia. Introduce otras imágenes que nos hacen salir de la cotidianeidad y que nos trasladan a Trunaibat. Pero, algo en la lectura me dejó un poco confundida. Tres estrellas.

T minus 13 until the Berlin spinoff.
We're getting Ralicia, an Andrés who's inexplicably (although I assume the series will explain) called Berlin, a hot new cast of characters and if I'm not mistaken, *the* Champs Elysees heist that helped make De Fonollosa into the legend he is in canon LCdP.
I hope it's more than a fun, romantic heist movie, and I do hope it won't be a blip that gets forgotten (and/or cancelled) before the new year rolls around. Basically - please, please be good and memorable! It may be the last we get of these characters; I hope it's as good, if not better, than Pedro & the rest of the cast say it is.
