![]() ![]() We ran like venadas, frightened deer, fleeing all the way down the hill toward the safety of foreign woods and eerie dirt paths. The Great Mother had saved us, and we escaped without looking back. The rest of my sisters and I ran for the mouth of the nagual’s cavernous dwelling. ![]() Within seconds, a foul stench thickened and permeated the cave. Instinctively, I reached over to block Pita’s sight with my hands, but she pushed me away and stood staring at the gore before us without so much as a single tear in her eyes. The liquid in the giant kettle gurgled and splattered as it ate away at his flesh, and he screamed in what must have been excruciating agony. Unable to stop, a victim of his own momentum, he fell into the roiling mess. In his great haste, he tripped on the hem of his robe and ran right into the cauldron he had been boiling for us. Suddenly, as if in slow motion, he turned sideways and made a dash for the mouth of the cave. He reluctantly made his way toward the cauldron. “No, please,” the nagual begged, inching along the wall. ![]()

The supporting actors were also very fine, especially Hugh Fraser as Captain Hastings - whereas in the stories Hastings, who is usually the narrator, remains a rather sketchy character, here he becomes a genuine person. The writers were responsible for fleshing out the bare bones provided by Christie's stories, but they did it in such a way that the filmed versions flow naturally and seamlessly. Some of the credit for this also goes to the fine writing in the series. Suchet's skill as an actor was such that he was able to turn a rather flat, implausible character (and even fans of Agatha Christie admit that her characters are pretty two-dimensional) into a complex, eccentric but essentially believable person. Poirot (also known as Agatha Christies Poirot) is a British mystery drama television programme that aired on ITV from 8 January 1989 to 13 November 2013. Every detail of the character was perfect, from the stilted, pedantic delivery to the exquisitely fastidious grooming. Suchet's performance as the fussy little Belgian detective was a joy. Poirot is called in to investigate a series of kidnap threats against the three year old son of a wealthy aristocrat. Mystery fans were fortunate in the late 1980s to have no less than 3 definitive television performances to enjoy: Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes, Joan Hickson as Miss Marple, and David Suchet as Hercule Poirot. ![]() ![]() “My name is Kat Berger, and I love porn.” ![]() There was something about her that most people didn’t know.
