El Barco: Difference between revisions

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Ricardo and Julián. They have been working together for eighteen years, after all.

** Mixed with a bit of [[Ho Yay]], when Julián tells Ricardo that, if he were a woman, he would be in love with Ricardo.

** Javi from ''Verano Azul'' liked to go on a ship. Now, he's the captain of one!

** Three policemen from [[Los Hombres De Paco|Paco's police station]] suddenly decided to go on a ship.

** This is getting settled down by now. More or less. Ricardo still likes Julia, who still likes Ulises, Ulises and Ainhoa like each other {{spoiler|but Ainhoa leaves Ulises because Gamboa is threatening to kill Ulises and her family if she continues to be with him}}, both Piti and Andrés like Vilma, and it seems Vilma is starting to return Piti's feelings. Estela see-saws between several of the people at the ship (so far, she has liked Ramiro, Piti and Ricardo), and Ramiro is too concentrated in helping Gamboa to actually be with someone.

** Things are going better. Ricardo and Julia are finally together, after some snags related to Julia's job with Project Alexandria. Ulises and Ainhoa get together again and, after trying to keep it secret, decide to escape on a ship they encounter on the way. Julián and Salomé are going to have a kid, but after she learns {{spoiler|Julián had cancer, which was healed}}, she decides that she cannot be with someone that lied to her like that. After Vilma and Palomares kiss, and Piti hears, Vilma and Piti talk and they decide to stop being together. Palomares goes back to being a priest, because he cannot deal with the fact that he helped break his friend's heart.

* [[Meaningful Nickname]]: "Burbuja" is nicknamed like that because he has a bubble on his brain (burbuja means bubble in Spanish).

* [[Multidisciplinary Scientist]]: Julia has degrees in Medicine and Biology.

* [[Not With the Safety On You Won't]]: a variant of this: Ulises manages to get Gamboa to stop pointing at Ricardo with a gun when he reveals he pulled out all the bullets before from.

* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Burbuja is far more intelligent than what it looks like. He is an [[Adult Child]] who was a Harvard graduate and worked at the CERN before his accident.

** Piti making stupid comments.

* [[Shipper On Deck]]: loads of them. [[Incredibly Lame Pun|And they are on deck, too]]. Ainhoa ships her father with Julia, Valeria ships both that and Ainhoa with Ulises, Andrés ships Piti and Vilma...

** It is eventually revealed that he is not interested at all in Ainhoa, he just had all the info on Ainhoa to find a way to control her.

* [[Tear Jerker]]: when the experiment at the LHC starts and everyone on land starts to die.

** Ricardo, Julián and Piti on the hold, preparing themselves to die in order to save the rest of the ship after saying goodbye to their beloved ones in the ship (Ainhoa for Ricardo, Salomé for Julián).

* [[The Mutiny]]: when Vilma seems to be in danger of dying and Ricardo seems reluctant to go back to the nearest port (because there isn't one that they know of) the pupils stage this. Gamboa joins them and threatens to kill Ricardo. The situation is defused when Ulises proves them that, indeed most of the Earth's solid ground has disappeared.

* [[The Woobie]]: Piti feels like this, because he has never found a girl that likes him for what he is, and hides behind his buffonish face to deal with that.

* [[Title Drop]]: every chapter's name is referenced by the characters. For example, chapter 1's title, "A un millón de millas" (One million miles away), is where Ricardo tells his younger daughter Valeria her mom is.
