    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The chupacabra is loosely translated to mean "goat sucker". Its legend is that it sucks the blood from farm animals. Recent research suggests that the legend of the chupacabra may derive from coyotes with severe parasitic infections.

      Around 00:30:05, Flakita takes the police car's door in the nose, then rubs it, but she continues the scene.
    • Quotes

      Fox Mulder: Then a hot, yellow rain fell from a cloudless sky. Fortean researchers call these liquid falls. Black and red rains are the most common, but there have also been reported cases of blue, purple, and green rains.

      Dana Scully: Purple rain?

      Fox Mulder: Yeah. Great album. Deeply flawed movie, though.

    ¿Qué?
    I liked the fungus and that is all the positive feedback I have. I am a fan of the show, but the story is bad, the acting is awful and the Spanish accents are terrible. The creators tried to make a social critique saying people don't care about Mexican immigrants, but It's like they didn't care about their portrayal at all. It looks like they couldn't bother casting or directing the Spanish speaking actors. Their portrayal of Mexican immigrants is patronizing and just dumb. I really don't like the """"ethnic""""" episodes not only because of the ignorance they showcase, but also because the writing is usually terrible.
