Hello all I just got done reading about a possible spoiler/scenario for season 3 and perhaps even for season 4. I read the following on the AE TDL thread, posted by Cougar [from an L Chat User]. If you don't know what L Chat or AE are click below for links to the sites. AE is After Ellen and L Chat is also known as the Zeta Boards, where there is also a TDL thread. [The italics is from the L Chat thread.]
"Hi girls, im from spain, and some guy that worked in cadena 3 told me the show will start in september, but they wanted to be in June but bcoz of summer they didn't bcoz of ratings.
he also told me crisabel will have problems bcoz isabel will have to marry that guy we saw on the trailer ( she is speaking with him in the trailer) and cristina will feel bad and sad but they will continue seeing each other but the guy will try to force isabel at some point and may rape her and things like that ... he didnt say much after that. i dont know if its true ... so i cant say it will happen (lots of people talk shit) but he said for season 3 there will be more love scenes with them, kisses and crisabel will have more screen time! he also said lobo will try to kill cristina himself but that crisabel love is way to big and they will fight oh and crisabel will be in season 4.
again, im just saying what the guy says ... we have to wait for the show to be on tv again"
Well, frankly, Cadenatres is a pretty popular station in South America. But I don't see the connection (Tierra de Lobos is a Telecinco production, not Cadena 3)... unless they plan on showing TDL reruns. Either way, if in fact, there's some validity to that spoiler, I like what I hear :D That's the way I was hoping Isabel would respond to her supposed marriage (still seeing Cristina). Especially, having to be FORCED to have sex with a man (assuming she does). Sounds like a "good lesbian" to me, lol.
Edit: The poster just said that she/he meant "Antenna 3" not "Cadena 3".Antenna 3 doesn't have anything to do with Telecinco... but they ARE in SPAIN. Sooo, guess we'll just have to wait (til September?) and see. Actually, that whole scenario (spoiler) sounds pretty believable... and makes a lot of scense... even the part about Lobo attempting to kill Cristina himself. Now if I can just get my prediction to come true (Isabel kills her husband), all will be well in Crisabel Heaven ;) I mean, hey... the Lobo women are natural "man killers", lol :P

For those of you wondering what season 3 of Tierra de Lobos holds in store for us, take a peek below at the season 3 preview. I have added subtitles. I previously uploaded it on my You Tube channel, but it got flagged. I have managed to re-upload it there, and have done so here as well. Just in case!
Season 3 Preview
Here is a clip from Season 1 showcasing Isabel, her exploits and sexual awakening.
Also, for those following the news and updates from actors and everything else having to do with the show, Cougar and other AE users have posted some great stuff on the AE TDL thread. I will re-post the [in my opinion] best recent tid bits below. You can access the thread here.
Adriana didn’t say much on the radio programme ‘cos there were 4 actors and one of them was very talkative and wanted to get all the attention and she really got it. Anyway, the most important things Adriana said:
- As for TDL shooting: “We are starting in 2 weeks and, in August, it’ll be too hot to wear those clothes" (So, it seems that the shooting will be quite long)
- The airing of S3: “ I hope it will be soon” “There’ll be new characters and Alex Garcia is coming back. As for Isabel, I’m not allowed to tell you anything about what’s going to happen. Only that there’ll be a quite drastic change ("vuelco bastante grande").
- About twitter: “I get a lot of love from the fans”
-Your best fictional kiss? : “In TDL with the one that plays my “mujer”(can be woman or wife in Spanish); she is awesome. I enjoy a lot shooting with Berta. The kisses are beautiful, passionate and warm.”
-Next performance: “los que besan bien” new play at Garaje Lumiere in June."

Aimée & Jaguar is a 1999 German drama film set in Berlin during World War II. It was written and directed by Max Färberböck, based upon Erica Fischer's book, chronicling the actual lives of Lilly Wust and Felice Schragenheim during that time period. The book was based on the work of the American journalist, author, and noted Holocaust researcher, Charles Brady. He tracked down Lilly Wust as a Holocaust victim and the two soon became friends. It was over a year and a half, however, before Wust was able to confide in Brady and tell him her whole story. They remained close friends for 20 years until her death in 2006. The book also contains photos of the many letters shared between the two, and official correspondences post World War II with regards to Felice's whereabouts. It stars Maria Schrader, Juliane Köhler, Johanna Wokalek, Elisabeth Degen, Heike Makatsch, Detlev Buck. Wikipedia
L'Auberge espagnole is a 2002 French film directed and written by Cédric Klapisch. It is about Xavier, an economics graduate student studying for a year in Barcelona, Spain as part of the Erasmus programme,where he encounters and learns from a group of students who hail from all over Western Europe. It is part of a trilogy of films centered around the character of Xavier and his progression from student to family man, and friends he initially encounters in a student share-house in Spain.
The film's portrayal is in the first-person perspective of the main character, Xavier, and is hence mainly narrated in French. Some of the dialogue is in English however, and a significant amount is in Spanish, as well as small amounts in Catalan, Basque, Danish, German and Italian.
The film has a sequel,The Russian Dolls
The third part of the trilogy,Chinese Puzzle is in pre-production. Wikipedia
"There is definitely a shortage of series and films with lesbian themes when compared to the sheer amount of material that had been produced for television and theaters in the past 60 or so years. Yet it has come as a pleasant surprise that in the decade starting in 2000, there has been a rise of lesbian themes in both show and film. This is a world wide phenomena and quite a number of works have come out of Europe and the Latin world. Lesbian seems to be trending at the moment and it doesn't look like the world's love affair with lesbians onscreen is going to end anytime soon." Blog Archive April 15
The list has been updated. I have included over 100 titles, some of which are featured in this blog. I will be adding more shows and films from the list here, with info and links to watch of course!
Look through the Blog Archive and 'Shows'. I have made a 'Films with Les Themes' page that lists all my additions for easy viewing and access.
Stay tuned for more...
P.S. Rigveda13 on You Tube has clips and other fun stuff. Check it out.
Australian show about the lives of five beautiful women who work in a high class brothel. Below we meet Heather, one of those five women, and Ally, her lover.

Flemish- Dutch speaking Belgian- youth are hired as 'proppers' for a club on the Spanish coast. We witness their conflicts, love affairs and competition with rival club proppers. The clip below is from the story line of Angela and Frida, two characters that are also featured in the series spin off from the film.
There are two episodes left on Once Upon A Time, so why do we feel like we are still dealing with mid season plots? When will Emma Swan finally believe Henry? When will she face off to the Evil Queen/Regina in an epic battle that includes medieval weaponry? But most of all I want to see the looks on every characters face when they finally realize who they are and where they come from!
The good news is that the writers have taken steps in the right direction in the last few episodes. Who didn't enjoy Emma's in-your-face threat to Regina? And all the audience teasers with the August story line? Who is he really?
Well on this week's episode, aptly titled, we finally find out. The episode starts to drop hints from the get go. Henry points out to Emma that someone has added a new story to his book, and left it unfinished. That story is Pinocchio. The scene cuts to the Once Upon A Time version of Pinocchio, and we know it's going to be good.
And it is. The identity of Pinocchio in the real world is revealed through flashbacks that remind us how the series started, and, finally, delves a bit more into Emma's history. August, we learn, is Pinocchio. What?! Yes. And he knows who he is. In fact, he is the little boy who 'found' baby Emma, as they both traveled wardrobe style, into the real world. He tries to make a believer out of Emma, who still suffers from an incurable case of denial. The episode ends with a twist that has everyone saying 'hey what gives?' How is this moving forward with the story line? Henry's kidnapping by Emma points to many more episodes of drama before she is finally willing to accept the truth about who she is.
And then there is the question about what Regina will do, or will be able to do. She can't very well leave Storybrooke, can she?!

From Episode 12 'Publicity'
Season1, Episode 12 'Publicity' Other recaps: Recap- Huffington Post Derek admits to Karen that she’d make “a brilliant” Marilyn. “I see it, you know. In my head.” Then he literally sees it, in his head- well we get to see it in his head anyway. Ivy and Ellis overhear and of course plot to sabotage Karen. Ellis tells Rebecca’s agent that Karen could be serious competition. Apparently the agent does not know that Karen is the understudy: she is waiting in the wings hoping Rebecca dies from a peanut allergy.
Meanwhile, Rebecca is causing all sorts of havoc, which gets everyone into a tizzy—Derek’s masculinity is threatened, the stage managers start making kale smoothies, and Tom breaks a pencil. Yet 'Omaha' Karen still likes her because “she’s very direct.” On the way out of rehearsal Rebecca spots Karen and asks her to hang out.
That night they go to Galapagos Art Space in Brooklyn. She makes Karen sing “Run,” by Snow Patrol. Everyone loves it, even Rebecca, who gasps, “You’re not an understudy. You’re a star!” On a different night they end up at a celebrity watering hole in 'Dumbo' called 'Rainstorm.' Karen then ends up in Page Six as “Rebecca’s Gal Pal.” She gets phoned by her parents "asking if [her] [she] is a lesbian."
This friendship does not sit well with Dev, and Rebecca steps in to give Karen advice: “Take it from me, boyfriends can be a problem on the way up.” Then she helps Karen land a new solo and gifts her a bunch of Diana Ross’s hand-me-downs. If you ask me hand-me- downs are hand-me-downs, no matter who from..
Karen assures Dev that her club-hopping friendship with The star is “fantastic,” “exciting,” and “cool.” It is not all ominous, hangover-inducing, and de-humanizing, nope. This is where we'd have liked to see Ivy pop up and say 'Oh Omaha' whilst shaking her head- oh and don't forget the smirk. The funniest bit of the episode happens when Karen brings Dev along to meet Rebecca. Ivy does pop up, finally, and calls this a bold move, since Karen’s “dating both of them.” Of course it all goes downhill from the moment xenophobic Rebecca comments on the quality of the Indian restaurant. She and Dev fight about how Dev is going to get in the way of Karen being a star.Then she asks the waiter if they have anything without peanuts after Dev has just finished giving her a five minute spiel on how Indian food does not contain peanuts and the difference between Thai and Indian cuisine. Rebecca finds herself obliged to ask if there is no such thing as an Indian "currrriee."
Then, the second hallucination of the night occurs. Karen daydreams herself into a complex Bollywood dance number. We especially appreciate Ellis dressed as Abu from Aladdin. At some point, Smash had to go Bollywood! I mean Bollywood is drama blended with megawatt camp. I could not help being reminded of the ending of SlumdogMillionaire- who takes it Pinto/Patel or McPhee/Jaffrey?
Meanwhile, Eileen takes Nick on a date to Bam where they watch boring performance art, and of course, run into Jerry and his underage, bimbo, model date. Jerry insults Nick, Nick ignores Jerry, and the bimbo asserts that Nick is cute. Then Eileen and her man finally go home to have sex at his apartment, which is filled with whale art.
Ellis and Ivy trick Karen into missing her solo on "Secondhand White Baby Grand", the ballad that Tom and Julia wrote to take the performing burden off Rebecca. Derek asserts his control, again. Ivy sings the song/metaphor of the episode and kills it. The scene ends with Rebecca casually suggesting that Marilyn sing that song, thus re-asserting her control once more.
A short film about meeting an online crush. Short and sweet! =)

Translation of the good bit from the article: Cesar's return to the series at the end of the third season will mark a turn in the story. In the first couple of episodes Almudena will try to keep the memory of Cesar alive. However, she will come to terms with the fact that Cesar is lost to her forever. Anibal will be her greatest support in those trying times, but even so, a tragic series of events will leave their mark on the inhabitants of Tierra de Lobos. And after all that happens, Cesar's reappearance will fill Almudena with joy but ultimately with questions as well. Has Cesar changed during his time in prison? How did he manage to secure his release?
La reaparición de César marcará un punto de inflexión en la trama
En los primeros capítulos de la nueva entrega de 'Tierra de Lobos', Almudena (Silvia Alonso) tratará de mantener vivo el recuerdo de su marido y la esperanza en su regreso, pero a medida que pasan los meses, terminará por aceptar que nunca más volverá a verle y que su pequeño jamás conocerá a su padre. Aunque Aníbal (Antonio Velázquez) se convierte en su gran apoyo, la vida en el pueblo será cada vez más dura y terribles acontecimientos marcarán para siempre a sus habitantes. Por eso, cuando César aparece de repente la alegría vuelve al corazón de la joven, pero también la incertidumbre y los interrogantes sobre si César sigue siendo el mismo hombre que se marchó o cómo ha conseguido salir de la cárcel.
he also told me crisabel will have problems bcoz isabel will have to marry that guy we saw on the trailer ( she is speaking with him in the trailer) and cristina will feel bad and sad but they will continue seeing each other but the guy will try to force isabel at some point and may rape her and things like that ... he didnt say much after that. i dont know if its true ... so i cant say it will happen (lots of people talk shit) but he said for season 3 there will be more love scenes with them, kisses and crisabel will have more screen time! he also said lobo will try to kill cristina himself but that crisabel love is way to big and they will fight oh and crisabel will be in season 4.
