According to TV.com, the actress playing the damsel in the episode "Drift" is Lita Tresierra. Her character is "Maria Toro".

Will record this on the soapnet marathon replays. Hopefully, the story is still going. Anyone watch on Friday? Is she still tied up?

Thanks for the heads up hallbird. This one was okay, but the Spanish soaps on Telefutura have become a goldmine recently in comparison to soaps on bigger hermanos Univision and Telemundo and their American cousins.

In the same issue, on page 27, there's a section where they come up with some fictitious scandals, one of which involves a starlet whose home-sex tape winds up on the internet. It's illustrated with a comic-book style illustration of a girl at her laptop, shocked by the tape-- which consists of the starlet tied to a bed for sex. All you see is her right wrist in some kind of restraint, but it's nice they were thinking along those lines.

Continuity error; common when someone on a film set isn't doing their job. She was probably tied up at one point for the scene (she looked like she was tied up in the first shot thru the window) but what probably happened was not only did they shoot that scene in sequence (big mistake) but they probably took a break after that first shot (or wrapped for the day) then shot the closeups the next day believing they already shot a closeup with her tied up.

Or, they did shoot a close up with her tied up but either in a rush to edit the editor didn't realize he forgot to include that shot OR the shot was bad and he thru in what he had on hand to complete the rescue scene not realizing what Anwar's character actually said -- at which point he should have left out her audio and made the scene silent (happens all the time). I won't be surprised if it's corrected for DVD release.

Tip for filmmakers of D.I.D scenes: Shoot all the closeups with your damsel in her bonds FIRST, THEN the long shots later in case you forget or otherwise have to worry about tying her up exactly as you did before.

I concur that the fact that the blonde guest actress was gagged and blindfolded, but not bound, is the consequence of an overisght on the part of the production crew. It is illogical that her captors went to the trouble of blindfolding and gagging her, but neglected to bind her wrists. Furthermore, her hands were behind her back when she was rescued; if they weren't bound, then wouldn't she keep them in front of her, in a more comfortable position?
Either some clod of a prop man forgot to tie her hands after a break in filming, or they were under some unforeseen time constraint and didn't have time to tie her hands again.
I knew an actress who told me she had been bound and gagged in an obscure movie entitled "Carjack", and that the binding on her hands was not real; it was a contrivance that resembled knotted rope that was secured with Velcro. If the blonde actress in this episode was similarly secured by this simulacrum bondage, then it should've been a simple matter to re-attach this contrivance around her wrists.

Anyone know which day all this started, given that she was already tied up on Friday's episode.

In the opening credits there was a one second scene of a future episode with Flash and K.C. tied together with thick rope, much looser then the scene with Dale in episode 2. We may not be getting quality be we are sure geting quantity.

When was this scene, thru the window? I scanned thru the episode today but didn't see any other scene of her except for a shot of her on a TV with a gag around her neck, in a ransom plea or something, and then the scene at the end on the bed.
Was there another shot of her with the gag? Through the window? thanks, RR

Just about 20 seconds before Anwar and the gentleman bust into the room where she is held captive.

Sorry, that's the same scene from a previous episode already aired. At the end of the scene they loosen the ropes; that's what they showed in the promo.

Interesting (and annoying) that both scenes, which were lame, had dialogue containing "bondage jokes", one from Dale, one from Flash. This show is more comedy than SciFi and I don't think any quality scenes are coming, just more jokes.

The movie may be silly, but I'm glad you updated with it. One of your caps, taurfb51.jpg, resolves a discussion we had a few years ago, about whether or not the women in the background of the scene were wearing yokes. That vidcap clearly shows that all the women in the background are standing with their arms tied to short round wooden polls -- you can even see the rope around some of their wrists. Now, as to why they hall have the wooden poles on their shoulders, I don't know, because there's nothing showing the poles to be secured at the women's necks. (Although a thin rope might be there, but the resolution is too low to show it.

This is also one of the very, very few movies where the gag is unique, and may be the only one where the gags appear to be decorated. In almost every other scene I've ever scene the gags are strictly utilitarian.

In fact, I defy anyone on this board to come up with an instance of a gag that has been decorated or embellished in any way. Except for that riveted gag in "Barbarian Something Or Other." I'm not sure I'd count rivets as decoration. Rhinestones, now that's a different matter ...

You're probably right. It's a more plausible explanation than any I can think of offhand. I suppose you could try to handwave it by saying that Anwar meant she would remove the woman's blindfold and gag, but that's stretching a bit. A lot, actually.
