Bitten

Durante o fim de semana prolongado estive a ver episódios de uma série canadiana. Achei engraçada esta série sobre uma lobisomen, alta e loira, pertencente a uma matilha, que quer uma vida normal, e no entretanto ataca tudo e todos :)
Episódios:
- 1 - Summons
Elena, a werewolf trying to live a normal life, is summoned home by Jeremy the leader of her Pack when they come under attack by an unknown enemy. But returning to Stonehaven means facing Clayton Danvers, the only man Elena has ever loved, and the one who betrayed her by changing her into a werewolf.
- 2 - Produgal
Elena tries to keep Clayton at arms length, but he lets her know he'll do whatever it takes to get her back in his life for good. Elena uses the search for the deadly "mutt" as a distraction from her complicated personal life, but things get worse when a second dead body is found on Stonehaven's property.
- 3 - Trespass
Elena and Clayton fall back into old patterns from their former relationship, which causes alarm for Elena who wants to forget the past. Together, they track down the Mutt at a warehouse, but find themselves in a sticky situation when the Mutt shifts to a wolf.
- 4 - Grief
Elena and Clay must put aside their growing sexual frustration as they team up to discover who and why someone has turned serial killers into werewolves.
- 5 - Bitten
Elena is overcome by her remembrance of her love affair with Clayton and how he betrayed her trust by changing her into a werewolf to make her his mate, but still defends him from those who accuse him of being behind the murders. Meanwhile, a former Pack member and rival to Clayton returns with information about the Mutt plot.
- 6 - Committed
Elena leaves Stonehaven to return to Toronto, but Santos follows her and offers her a deal to escape from the Pack. Back at the Pack's home, Jeremy is challenged for control of his fellow werewolves.

- 7 - Stalking
Daniel Santos is now revealed as the leader of the mutt uprising, and he requests a meet with the Pack to discuss a potential truce. The Pack sees the meet as an opportunity to trap the rebelling Mutts but once again, the mutts are one step ahead of them and some of the Pack end up being hurt.
- 8 - Prisoner
Elena discovers that Jeremy was stabbed with a poisoned blade. In order to find out the type of poison used, Elena tracks down the girl who stabbed Jeremy. Clayton uses various tactics to try and get Cain to reveal where the Mutts are located. Although unsuccessful, Clayton does get Cain to reveal that Santos has hired Jimmy Koenig to go after the Pack.
- 9 - Vengeance
Jimmy calls Jeremy for a meeting to end the fight old-school. They fought. Jimmy was about to kill Jeremy but Nick steped in at time to finish Jimmy off. Elena is attacked by a mutt. Meanwhile, Philip confronts Logan to ask if he was having an affair with Elena, because of the video of the werewolves that was shot at the night they were on a run.
- 10 - Descent
Elena returns to Toronto for her photography show with Clay at her side as protection (by Jeremy's orders). She is surprised by Philip, who knows her relationship with Clay is deeper than she's confessed in the past – curious to get to the bottom of it, Philip insists Clay stay with them at the apartment. As the two men sniff each other out, each with their own agenda, Elena tries to prevent her two worlds from colliding. At the art show, Elena is blindsided when Victor Olson, her former child abuser, shows up. Even more terrifying, he's now a Mutt. Philip, already loaded for bear, steps in to protect and defend Elena's honor, taking out all of his frustration and rage on a seemingly helpless Olson. Outside the gallery, Clay confronts Santos, threatening to kill him and end the uprising in its tracks, when a horrified Diane interrupts. Santos manages to escape just as Olson flees the gallery. The evening ends with Philip demanding the truth about Elena and Clay's relationship. When she reveals that they were former lovers and had been engaged, Philip storms out and Elena feels her worlds imploding.
- 11 - Settling
Clay and Elena are at Philip's apartment and while they wait for Jeremy and the rest of the pack to arrive, Clay reveals to Elena that the Mutts are after her. Philip arrives back at his apartment and decides to propose to Elena. Elena rebuffs his proposal and secretly sneaks out to seek counsel from Logan. Logan decides to leave the pack, but after he is attacked by Karl Marsten and Thomas LeBlanc, he asks Rachel to take him back to Stonehaven. Under James Williams' orders, Daniel Santos and Victor Olsen head to Philip's apartment in search of Elena, and in the ensuing fight with Clay and Philip, Elena changes to her wolf form to save Philip. However, Santos and Olsen manage to drug Clay and capture him.
- 12 - Caged
Jeremy and Nick meet up with Elena and convince her to return to Stonehaven to regroup. Meanwhile, Clay is tortured by Daniel Santos and his group of mutts. Santos reveals his original intention was to capture Elena and user her as a pawn to force Jeremy to relinquish his control as Alpha as per James Williams orders. Rachel brings Logan to Stonehaven, where Jeremy helps him to recuperate from his injuries. Meanwhile, Jeremy imprisons Elena to prevent her from meeting up with Santos. When Jeremy leaves to search for Santos, Logan frees Elena and she eventually meets up with Santos to find out what his demands are. Santos reveals his desire to mate with Elena in exchange for Clay's freedom. Elena captures Victor Olsen and convinces him to reveal where the Mutts are hiding Clay, and kills him in the process. Elena frees Clay and together they escape from the Mutts. Jeremy reveals to Elena that Clay bit her in order to save her from being killed by him.
- 13 - Ready
James Williams directs Santos to recruit more mutts to attack StoneHaven. Logan takes Rachel to a motel and leaves her there in hopes of keeping her away from the coming battle but tired of waiting, Rachel leaves the motel and is captured by the Mutts, who use her as a decoy to start the battle to take StoneHaven. Just before the battle, Jeremy tells Nick that he knows where Nick's mother is located. Logan arrives back at StoneHaven to help Jeremy and the rest of the Pack fight the mutts. Elena is captured by LeBlanc, but is saved by Marsten, who has a change of heart. Believing that the mutts have the upper hand in the battle, Williams and Santos enter StoneHaven, but Williams disappears, and Santos winds up being cornered by the Pack. Elena kills Santos. The pack defeats the mutts, but instead of admitting defeat, James Williams confronts Jeremy and reveals his intention to take Elena. In the chaos of the battle, Rachel is kidnapped by James Williams who turns out to be Malcolm Danvers, Jeremy's father. Elena discovers the head of Philip and screams.
Boa Páscoa e Bom domingo pessoal

Battlestar Galactica (2004), 3ª temporada

Ontem, finalmente acabei a ver a 3ª temporada da série Battlestar Galactica. Admito que para o fim os episódios começaram-me a chatear revolvendo ao longo da temática dos esforços de sobrevivência e os inumeros perigos da convivência entre os humanos e o seu infindável teor de problemas e desacatos. A procura do planeta Terra um pouco de lado, só no último episódio, e/ou penúltimo, voltamos a busca do tal elusivo planeta na pessoa de Starbuck, Kara Thrace, e revelação das revelações, algo se passa quando quatro pessoas na nave descobrem-se a si próprios não como os humanos que pensavam ser mas algo mais, cylons adormecidos. Cada um com uma posição crucial quando temos em conta o papel de apoio que têm.
E eu aposto que o quinto modelo cylon em falta será Starbuck.

Deixo resumo de cada episódio, e o seu nome:
Ep1 Occupation
The Cylons have now been in control of New Caprica for over four months. Gaius Baltar is under their collective thumbs and essentially follows their orders. There is a resistance who set off bombs and do their best to disrupt Cylon activity. Col. Tigh is in prison and despite extensive torture, including the loss of an eye, has told them nothing. His wife Ellen will do anything to secure his release and is soon in a sexual relationship with one of the Cylons, John Cavil. There are mixed feelings among the survivors. Some feel the random acts of violence against their captors serves no useful purpose while others feel it is their duty to resist. Kara Thrace, Starbuck, is being kept prisoner in an apartment of sorts by Leoben Conoy. She too resists but every time she kills him, he is simply re-generated and reappears insisting he will continue to do so until he tells her she loves him. Back on Galactica, Admiral Adama takes his son Lee, Commander of the Battlestar Pegasus, to task for going soft.

Ep2 Precipice
As a result of the most recent suicide bombings, some of the Cylons are now arguing that they need to retaliate. Laura Roslin, among others, is in custody and Gaius Baltar tries to get her to cooperate. Tigh however absolutely refuses to stop the suicide bombings. Nighttime raids also leads to Cally's arrest but they leave her baby alone. Sharon Valerii sees what she can do about it. John Cavil meanwhile tells Ellen Tigh she is to provide the date and location of the next meeting of the resistance commanders. Leoben Conoy is still holding Starbuck prisoner but introduces her to her daughter, Kacey, produced from eggs they harvested from her when she was on the Farm. On Galactica, Admiral Adama begins to plan for a massive rescue of everyone on New Caprica. He realizes they will have to obtain the launch keys for all of the ships on the planet's surface. The best way of infiltrating the Cylons is with another Cylon so Adama commissions Sharon Agathon as an officer.

Ep3 Exodus: Part 1
The secret source in the administration has provided Tyrol with a list of all humans scheduled for extermination. Tyrol's wife Cally is on the list and he sets off to rescue her. Sharon Agathon has made it safely to the planet but they are ambushed by Cylons lying in wait. They realize they were betrayed and Anders finds damning evidence that points to the identity of the traitor. D'Anna Biers has been having strange dreams of late and an oracle tells her that the child Hera is alive and she will hold her in her arms. Roslin meanwhile assigns a squad of men to protect the child at all costs. The Admiral sends the Pegasus away with the few remaining civilian ships to continue the search for Earth.

Ep4 Exodus: Part 2
The attack to rescue everyone on New Cpaprica begins. The Galactica encounters four rather than the expected two Cylon Basestars. The end appears in sight but they get help from a welcome but unexpected source. On the planet below, Tyrol and Anders lead the attack to free everyone from the prison. Anders finds Starbuck but she won't leave without Kacey. Her successful return to the Galactica results in mixed emotions. Colonel Tigh must decide what to do about his wife Ellen after she admits to giving the rendezvous coordinates to the Cylons. Hera doesn't make it off the planet.

Ep5 Collaborators
Now safely back in the fleet, those who managed to escape from New Caprica are seeking revenge against those they believe collaborated with the Cylons. Six of them, including Chief Tyrol and Col. Tigh, have formed the Circle and are acting as judge, jury and executioner. Those found guilty are blown out of an airlock. Lee Adama has noted that in the three days since everyone was reunited, 13 people have simply disappeared without a trace. The morale aboard the Galactica is not good with perceived collaborators being shunned by the others. Among those in that situation is Felix Gaeta who, as Gaius Baltar's Chief of Staff, is high on the Circle's list. As for Baltar is now being kept aboard a Cylon Basestar and his captors are deciding his fate as well.

Ep6 Torn
Baltar learns from Caprica Six of their ability to project themselves and imagine different surroundings which leads him to wonder if he too is a Cylon. He has told the Cylons what he knows about the location of Earth and they dispatch a Basestar to investigate. In the end, the survey ship is infected with a virus killing everyone aboard. Aboard the Galactica, Lt. Gaeta has been reviewing Baltar's work in deciphering the map they recovered on Kobol. He too thinks he know what it all means. Of greater concern however is the wedge between those who stayed with the fleet and those who were on the ground fighting the Cylons. Starbuck and Colonel Tigh in particular are quite vocal in complaining about those who stayed behind and it's left to Admiral Adama to lay down the law.

Ep7 A Measure of Salvation
When a group of ill Cylons from the infected Basestar is brought to Galactica, Lee discovers a way to solve the Cylon problem forever - by destroying the whole Cylon race. Meanwhile, D'anna's acts to discover if Baltar is reliable will forge an unusual relationship.

Ep8 Hero
A figure from Adama's past returns to haunt him. His return raises questions about why the Cylons launched their initial attack against the Twelve Colonies.

Ep9 Unfinished Business
A look at the events that took place during the year-long gap from the storyline in the Season Two finale. The story reveals the reasons for the rift between Kara ("Starbuck") and Lee ("Apollo").

Ep10 The Passage

Ep11 The Eye of Jupiter
The crew of Galactica makes a stop at the barren Algae planet.

mysterious when they begin to die after taking the injection they do not believe in.

Ep15 A Day in the Life

Battlestar Galactica (2004), 1 e 2


O Outono está aí e em toda a sua pujança, e sabe bem relaxar no sofá e no quentinho, em casa, a saborear um livro, um filme, ou mesmo uma relíquia de uma série televisa.

Novo remake da Galactica, temporada, 1 e 2, admito-me viciada nesta nova versão

Segue sumário desta nova versão:
Battlestar Galactica continued from the 2003 miniseries to chronicle the journey of the last surviving humans from the Twelve Colonies of Kobol after their nuclear annihilation by the Cylons. The survivors are led by President Laura Roslin and Commander William Adama in a ragtag fleet of ships with the Battlestar Galactica, an old but powerful warship, as its command ship. Pursued by Cylons intent on wiping out the remnants of the human race, the survivors travel across the galaxy looking for the fabled and long-lost "thirteenth" colony: Earth. Unlike most space opera series, Battlestar Galactica has no aliens (the antagonists are man-made Cylon robots), the primary armaments used by both military forces utilize bullets, rail guns, and missiles instead of lasers, and the series intentionally avoids technobabble. Instead, most of the stories deal with the apocalyptic fallout of the destruction of the Twelve Colonies upon the survivors, and the moral choices they must make as they deal with the decline of the human race and their war with the Cylons. Stories also portray the concept of perpetuated cycles of hate and violence driving the human-Cylon conflict, and religion with the implication of a "God" whose angelic agents intervene on behalf of the main characters (most notably Gaius Baltar).

Over the course of the show's four seasons, the war between the Colonials and the Cylons takes many twists and turns. Despite the animosity on both sides, the Cylons and humans slowly turn away from their hatred of each other. Part of this is due to a growing schism within the humanoid Cylons, led by the disgruntled Cylon "Number One" named John Cavil. Cavil's obsession with hiding the genesis of the remaining seven humanoid Cylon models (who had been created by the "Final Five," who themselves are Kobolian humanoid Cylons from Earth, who had their memories erased by Cavil) leads to a civil war among the Cylons, with a faction of the robot race forming an alliance with the humans. Other plotlines involve the mysterious destiny of Kara "Starbuck" Thrace, who is the subject of a prophecy involving her as the "Harbinger of Death" who will "lead humanity to its end," as well as the redemption of Gaius Baltar through the Cylons' monotheistic religion, after he becomes a pariah within the fleet (after being forced to collaborate with the Cylons).

In the final episodes, a resurrected Kara Thrace leads the surviving humans and Cylons to a new planet, which is revealed to be Earth, with the first colonists landing in Africa. Adama names their new home planet "Earth," as a tribute to the "real" Earth of legend, which had been originally sought by the survivors. The original Earth was revealed to have been a different planet, one which had become an uninhabitable wasteland by a nuclear war waged by its Cylon creations thousands of years before. The new Earth is found to be inhabited by early humans, who are genetically compatible with the humans from the Galactica and the rest of the fleet, but who possess only the most rudimentary civilization. Human beings had apparently independently evolved on Earth and Kobol, the original home world of the humans who settled the Twelve Colonies. The surviving humans and humanoid Cylons decide to live on the new planet; they discard all technology, destroying the fleet by flying it into the Sun. Kara Thrace disappears. The surviving Cylon Centurions are given possession of the remaining Cylon Basestar, and proceed to jump away from Earth, never to be heard from again. In the final scenes, modern-day Earth humans are shown to be descendants of the Kobolian colonists, the Cylons who joined with the colonists, and the early humans.

At the end of the series finale, an angelic Baltar and Cylon Number Six (played by Tricia Helfer) are walking down a sidewalk in modern-day New York. They are unseen and unheard by the people around them. As the two walk, they notice technologically advanced robots, computers, and other cybernetic devices, and they talk about the technological advancements the humans have made since the Colonists and Humanoid Cylons first arrived to this Earth, over 150,000 years earlier. Baltar states one of the on-going quotes from the series, "This has all happened before, and it will all happen again." This leads the viewer to believe that one day soon, modern humans will develop their own type of cylon, and those Cylons will rebel and a new war between humans and machines will occur.

The original humans on Kobol, over 150,000 years earlier, developed the first Cylons, which resulted in a war on that planet after the Cylon rebellion. After an armistice between the Kobolian Humans and Kobolian Cylons, the humans left (because Kobol was devastated by war) for what would become the Twelve Colonies. The Cylons left for what would be the original Earth, but it was destroyed in a civil war between humanoid cylons and robotic centurion cylons. This was the Earth the Galactica crew would discover, before moving on to our Earth in the series finale.

Battlestar Galactica (1978)


There are those who believe that life here began out there, far across the universe, with tribes of humans who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians, or the Toltecs, or the Mayans. Some believe that there may yet be brothers of man who even now fight to survive somewhere beyond the heavens.

Lembram-se deste pedaço...
Emprestaram-me a série Battlestar Galactica, a versão original e o remake da dita. A original de 1978, tinha eu dois aninhos, quando estreou, mas cá só chegou na década de 80, com as suas ideias futuristas.
Sinopse:
A Humanidade vivia nos doze mundos-colónias num sistema solar distante. Lutaram uma guerra de cem anos contra os Cylons, guerreiros-robots, criados por uma raça reptiliana que pereceu a muito tempo atrás, presumivelmente destruída pela própria criação. Nunca foram comandados a um cesar fogo, estes guerreiros-robots apostaram numa guerra contra as colónias. Os seres humanos foram derrotados num ataque repentino aos seus planetas pelos Cylons, que por sua vez foram ajudados por Baltar, um humano. Protegidos pela sobrevivente e última nave de guerra intitulada Galactica, os sobreviventes fogem em todas as naves disponíveis. O Comandante da Galactica, Adama, conduz esta eclética frota de 220 naves na procura de uma nova casa no lendário planeta Terra. Os episódios apresentam a luta da frota pela sobrevivência contra a ameaça Cylon e a sua busca pelo planeta Terra.

Tru calling

Mais um update, mais uma série de televisão vista, Tru calling, primeira temporada e parte da segunda, serie foi cancelada.

Sinopse
Tru Davies, é uma jovem a quem o destino não lhe fez a vontade. Ela sonhava entrar na faculdade de medicina mas tal não aconteceu. Agora, trabalha na morgue, sitio algo sombrio e que lhe vai mudar a vida, e aí descobre algo inquietante, revive dias quando alguém que morreu recentemente pede ajuda. A certa altura, Tru, começa a ouvir os apelos de quem já não está entre os vivos e ganha poder para reviver o momento e alterar o destino da pessoa em questão ajudando a escolher a vida através de pistas do que aconteceu com a vitima.
Após alguns episódios Tru conta ao seu irmão Harrison e ao seu chefe Davies que ajuda os mortos e após algum descrédito da parte deles começam a ajudá-la. Para o fim da primeira série aparece alguém diferente um homem chamado Jack que inicia funções na morgue e começa a existir um conflicto entre Tru e Jack porque ela tenta desviar mortes do seu verdadeiro fim e Jack tenta manter a morte como estava destinada inicialmente.
A verdadeira história tem o seu inicio quando Tru descobre que tem um opositor, Jack. É um homem que também revive dias tal como a nossa heroina mas o trabalho dele é garantir que o curso de colisão com a morte se mantenha. Tru é forçada a repensar a sua filosofia de vida, e consequentemente de morte, ao examinar o seu lugar no mundo e pensar, como Jack lhe disse, que alterar a ordem da morte é viscerar as leis da ordem natural das coisas fazendo mais mal que bem aqueles que "salva".

True Blood 1

Boa noite pessoal
Acabei de ver os últimos minutos da primeira temporada de True Blood (suspiro). Achei a série muito interessante, extremamente interessante, não só pelo inusitado das personagens, onde existe vampiros, humanos, e outras coisas que tais ... mas igualmente na intriga principal desenvolvida com pequenos vislumbres de outras intrigas secundárias. Deixo dois trailers para verem.


A sinopse da história:
O universo ficcional descrito em True Blood, tem como seu ponto de partida que criaturas super-naturais existem e estão entre nós (tais como vampiros, telepatas, e shapeshifters para nomear alguns). Dois anos a priori a estes eventos a decorrer na série, vampiros saem do armário quando cientistas japoneses descobrem uma forma de sangue sintético chamado True Blood. Assim não necessitam mais dos humanos e seu sangue para sobreviver, conseguindo assim integrar-se na sociedade humana.
As personagens principais são apresentadas em diversas intrigas que rondam à volta do bar de Bon Temps, "Merlotte's". A personagem principal é Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), que é telepata e empregada no bar. No primeiro episódio salva o primeiro cliente vampiro, Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), quando um casal local tenta retirar-lhe sangue conhecido como um narcótico, "V" ou "V Juice", para os humanos e vendido a preço de ouro. Através da relação entre estes dois, Sookie e Bill, ficamos a conhecer mais sobre a cultura vampirica e as suas limitações.

Heróis

Boa tarde
Hoje acabei de ver a 1ª temporada da série Heroes em dvd, para quem já não se lembra deixo sinopse, retirada do Wikipédia.

Heroes é uma série dramática norte-americana de ficção científica de televisão criada por Tim Kring , que apareceu na NBC por quatro temporadas a partir de 25 de setembro de 2006. A série conta as histórias de pessoas comuns que descobrem habilidades sobre-humanas, e como essas habilidades resultariam nas personagens em vida. A série emula a estética e estilo de contar histórias de quadrinhos americanos, usando short, a história de episódio de arcos múltiplos que constroem em cima de um maior e mais abrangente do arco.

A primeira temporada, conhecida como "Genesis", começa como um simples grupo de pessoas, que aparentemente e gradualmente, se torna consciente de que eles têm habilidades especiais. Ao mesmo tempo, várias pessoas comuns estão a investigar as origens e a extensão dessas habilidades. Mohinder continua a pesquisa de seu falecido pai sobre a origem biológica da mudança, enquanto Noé representa uma organização secreta conhecida apenas como " A Empresa ". Apesar de lidar com essas novas habilidades, cada um dos personagens é desenhado, voluntária ou involuntariamente, a conspiração da Empresa de controlar as pessoas com superpoderes e uma corrida para parar uma explosão capaz de destruir Nova York.
Heroes inclui alguns elementos de ficção misteriosa recorrentes que têm sido atribuídas a ficção científica ou fenômenos sobrenaturais. Tim Kring e os criadores da série se referem a esses elementos ficcionais, como parte da mitologia da série. Kring confirmou que, embora o show tem uma mitologia original, ele não quer afundar muito profundamente. Pelo contrário, Kring tem utilizado volumes para encerrar linhas de enredo em curso, em vez de levar sua história ao longo de longos períodos de tempo como em Lost. Na mitologia elementos que mostram o são a Companhia , a lenda de Takezo Kensei, pinturas do futuro, as grandes potências e suas origens, o vírus Shanti, 9th Wonders! quadradrinhos, e numerosos outros elementos e temas mitológicos.
A primeira temporada apresentou doze séries regulares. Hayden Panettiere retrata a colegial cheerleader Claire Bennet, que pode se regenerar. Jack Coleman interpreta seu pai Noah Bennet, um agente para a Companhia. Santiago Cabrera jogou o conturbado viciado Isaac Mendez, que pode pintar o futuro. Tawny Cypress retrata Simone Deveaux, um comerciante de arte e cético. Greg Grunberg faz de LAPD o policial Matt Parkman, que consegue ler a mente das pessoas. Ali Larter faz de Niki Sanders, uma stripper de internet com um Transtorno Dissociativo grave e super-força. Leonard Roberts faz de marido de Niki DL Hawkins, um ex-presidiário que pode passar através da matéria sólida. Noah Gray-Cabey faz de Micah Sanders, DL é o jovem filho de Niki, que se pode comunicar com e controla a tecnologia digital. Masi Oka retrata o espaço-tempo manipulador Hiro Nakamura. Adrian Pasdar faz de Nathan Petrelli, um candidato a deputado federal com a habilidade de voar. Sendhil Ramamurthy faz de geneticista Mohinder Suresh. Milo Ventimiglia retrata o enfermeiro Peter Petrelli, com a capacidade de mimetizar as habilidades de outros humanos com poderes.


A série foi considerada por mim como muito interessante, e para o público no ano de 2006 como abarcando muitas expectativas, conseguidas na primeira temporada. Me prendeu até altas horas da noite a tentar deslindrar o caso e suas nuances mas sem muito sucesso devo admitir. Achei o tema interessante e a forma como vão buscar a teoria de Darwin para explicar o que para uns são aberrações mas para o global da espécie seria uma mais valia. Ir um passo mais além na evolução. E não se assume como o pensamento geral nesta matéria que reencarna não nas imagens de evolução de um homo sapiens alto, forte e presseguindo algo mas sim um, pouco musculado, mais gordo para além do fantástico, com um cerebro de grande dimensão e quase permanentemente sentado :)
Atéb breve
