Happy 61 Birthday to Tim Guinee.

JEFFREY?!? JACK?!?! IN THE SAME FILM?!!?

OH I WON'T SURVIVE...

for @wincestwednesdays: trapped

A hotel, not a motel. A suite, not a room. A desk clerk who can’t be bribed with twenty bucks and a bottle of Jack and so Dean has to pull out the big guns, say we’ve been tracking this suspect for a long time, has to put on his most solemn face and say we’re not sure we’ll catch him if he gives us the slip again, has to make like it’s a matter of life and death. The woman at the counter gives him the room number. Dad always said lies work best if they’re true.

In the elevator he stands with his back to the unpitted wall with his boots an even distance apart on the unstained carpet and he watches the shadowed foggy version of his reflection in the metal doors instead of watching the glow of the numbers changing. It’s a big elevator because it’s a big hotel. He could stretch his arms out to either side and not touch the sides. He keeps his arms folded over his chest and breathes very carefully, in and out. In the reflection his eyes are dark holes in a smear of face. All the familiar signposts just dissolved.

Lot of promises he’s made, over the years. Lot more he’s dodged. Swear you’ll call me, from some girl in a robe mostly-on leaning in her open doorway, and he knew to grin big and kiss her and not say anything at all, because it’d be the kind of lie where the true in it was sad and sharp enough to cut him to ribbons. Same with, just tell me you’ll be okay, or promise you won’t do anything stupid, or you’ll be back, right? Didn’t help that so many of the promises fought against each other, one to one. Don’t do anything stupid, ramming right up against the kinds of promises you made that weren’t out loud or even really in words, the kinds that sat right up in the deep guts, the ones that said do everything you can. Give all there is to give. What was stupider than that, or more necessary. What promises would you break, trying to keep the promises you could.

Watch out for him. What did that mean? One definition slipped into the other and no one had given him any kind of checklist to figure out when watch out for became watch out for, and hell if he had any idea on his own. Beyond some dark rot that had begun eating through the space there in the gut, where the promises sat. Big holes when he went to press on it that crumbled down under his fingers, like metal giving way to rust. Too much hard use and not enough care. He knew how that went. Tough, though, when half the time he didn’t know anymore which way the compass spun. How to set everything on the right road when north had been scratched off the rose and it was just left to his sense of direction, in the dark? He’s the driver, not the navigator. He can turn the wheel but who’s to say which way to turn it?

Making that promise earlier felt—that rot in his gut is turning into some kind of acid but it felt like the only thing he could do. To give oneself fully over to the service of—anyone. Anyone who had some kind of idea of what was the right thing to do, or at least a Rand McNally. All this year he’d felt the dark closing in on every side and the one thing he thought he could fall back on, the one shoulder solid enough to hold him, disappeared into shadows, and watch out for him couldn’t really get done that way, could it. No matter where the emphasis fell. His edges are all blurred and his reflection isn’t the one he remembers and what is he supposed to do?

Give yourself over. Submit. Follow His word, as swiftly and faithfully as—and he’s tried his best but he never quite managed that promise, either. Watch out for him, but then later it was to watch out for him, and in his life he would never, ever be able to do that. Back then in the hospital he didn’t promise. He knew what was expected, because he knew he was supposed to follow that word above all others, but there was that ultimate final oath that went beyond the gut maybe into bone, or maybe past bone into some space he didn’t even know—beyond the soul even, because he’s held souls in his hands and made them scream and knew they were fallible too, and breakable, and the place that last deepest promise lived wasn’t in something as fragile as the soul. Something in the atoms, maybe. He never paid attention in class. Some tiny fraction of a thing, some grain of sand at the center of whatever made him him, where that last most essential particle said: keep him safe. From every single thing. Including himself, and you, and your father, and God.

Well, he sure as hell failed that one. The numbers are glowing, moving steadily up from the ground so his head’s getting light and strange, and in a few minutes here he’s going to have to face the music. See just how bad he fucked it up. The place the promises live feels destroyed, rot and rust and broken pillars, like a bunch of demons ran a train on it, gleefully smashing what they couldn’t twist from the start. Doesn’t mean he gets to abandon the promise. Doesn’t mean he can turn around, go back down to the ground floor, get back in the car and light out and drive to the coast and watch the sun rise over the ocean and forget any of this, because that last most essential particle makes its demands and he can’t, he never, he wouldn’t and won’t.

There’s nothing for it. His lungs hurt. His heart thuds sickly against his ribs. He has given himself wholly over to…

The elevator dings, and the doors slide open. The breath goes out of him. A discreet silver sign on the wall across from the elevator has two arrows: to the left, a short series of rooms; to the right, the honeymoon suite.

Imma be completely honest. At first and note I hadn't read any of it just saw posts alluding to what some of it said. but I did believe the leaked script was fake at first, since I know this fandom is very untrustworthy and at the time didn't know YOU were one of the ones backing that it was real. Once I saw it was trusted as real by people who would know, that's when I started avoiding it because at the time I wanted no spoilers. (Even now I want some surprise with the story haha)

That's how fandom misinfo happens though, and you'll notice, the waves all roll from the same people, every goddamn time.Sucker who mentally editorialized the Frank character being unavailable to McNally being unavailable, and McNally being like NO I WAS WAITING BY MY PHONE on fucking video? That one. The group that screamed no market testing and no intent from berens? That one. The one that screamed no roadhouse and no omissions? That one.

That's the one that screamed Pilot Fake. And also that episode morals like Moving On, Letting Go, Learning From Your Parents, Speaking What's Important While You Can, Facing Your Fears and Regrets were just me being wishful, or something. I was totally making all of that up, I couldn't possibly know that all the way back to when Deadline made it public.

I'm so tired of this fandom, because like. You, as an individual, aren't really deeply responsible. But to some extent people need to start tracking records of people. Not WHAT PEOPLE CLAIM. Like. Hard historical shit on file. Not this shit 2po claims I said, and then everyone that knows me slaps him with a receipt saying opposite.

I mean the fact that there is an active, malicious, grifting server of goblins ripping thousands of dollars out of this fandom's pockets to cruise gold panels on other people's dimes. I mean these people encouraged distrust in the same authors that FOUGHT for us with that testing, that PUSHED as hard as the confession and tried harder still. A bunch of them are people who got banned in my server for not being able to keep their shit together: triangulating primary residences on trees by satellite, harassing users across multiple rooms, trying to delete the server for being scolded.

That's it. That's where all that noise is coming from. And if you learn to wave through the thick of it and dig into each name, and TAKE that effort, you can see the giant pack of failbags over there screaming and frothing in denial, as they tend to do. One time they spent 5K to argue with me about the roadhouse/omissions, and guess what, chucklefucks.

They never learn, and neither do the masses. The masses swerve to whatever aligns with the current shapes inside their own head, and sometimes, being addicted to your own anxiety is in fact a thing. As the ad itself for Winchester says:

No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. - Cicero

That's it. That's Mary's problem, that's Dean's problem, and that's this whole ass fandom's problem. The good shit is right there guys, I'm not kidding. If you'd stop listening to the echoing inside your own head and listen more not just to the show but what the creatives are actually saying on main, holy fuck guys. It's right there. I'm serious.

If there was any fictional character you could talk/write about for hours what character would that be and why? I'm just really curious-

It depends on the day and conversation but I could definitely go off on tangents for quite a few characters

• Dean Winchester or Gabriel from Supernatural.

• Otis from Chicago Fire, Adam Ruzek from Chicago PD, and Dr. Connor Rhodes from Chicago Med.

• Literally all the characters from Rookie Blue but mainly my girl Andy McNally.

• Jason Todd from DC/Batman.

• Clint Barton and Bucky Barnes from Marvel.

• Dr. Mark Greene from ER

• Dr. Mark Sloane and Dr. Lexie Grey from Grey's Anatomy (THEY DESERVED BETTER OKAY?)

• and finally...

• Literally every single freaking aviator from Top Gun and Top Gun: Maverick. They are all very personal to me, the 1986 movie was one of my childhood comfort movies. I wore the VHS of it out and would fall asleep to it close to every night. And TGM was such a beautifully done sequel I actually sobbed in the theaters the first time I saw it (and then saw it 6 more times...)

State v. McNally

Annotate this Case

152 Conn. 598 (1965)

STATE OF CONNECTICUT v. EDWARD MCNALLY (5693) STATE OF CONNECTICUT v. EDWARD MCNALLY (5694) STATE OF CONNECTICUT v. RICHARD MCALISTER (5695) STATE OF CONNECTICUT v. RICHARD MCALISTER (5696)

Supreme Court of Connecticut.

Argued April 13, 1965.

Decided May 25, 1965.

KING, C. J., MURPHY, ALCORN, COMLEY and SHANNON, JS.

*599 Harry H. Hefferan, Jr., for the appellant (defendant McNally) and Warren A. Luedecker, for the appellant (defendant McAlister), with them, on the brief, was Harold H. Dean.

Otto J. Saur, state's attorney, with whom, on the brief, were John F. McGowan and Joseph T. Gormley, Jr., assistant state's attorneys, for the appellee (state) in each case.

MURPHY, J.

Each of the defendants was charged in separate indictments with the crimes of murder in the first degree in the fatal shooting and stabbing of Richard McAlister's father on August 28, 1963, and for the fatal shooting of John Shinners on February 23, 1964, while the defendants were perpetrating a robbery. Since each defendant was seventeen years old at the time of arraignment, guardians ad litem were appointed for each of them, and, with the acquiescence of the state, a plea of *600 guilty to murder in the second degree to each of the crimes was accepted by the court. Each was then sentenced to life imprisonment in the state prison for each of the murders, the sentences to run consecutively. The defendants have appealed. Although they have stated their claims of error in several ways, the basic contention is that the court did not have the legal right to impose consecutive life sentences.

General Statutes § 53-11 provides that "[a]ny person who commits murder in the second degree... shall be imprisoned in the State Prison during his life." The use of this language presupposes a life sentence for each second-degree murder. In these cases, that penalty was imposed. The statutes are devoid of any language prohibiting the imposition of consecutive life sentences or of language requiring two life sentences to be served concurrently. "In the absence of statute, the determination whether two sentences to the same penal institution shall run concurrently or consecutively is an incident to the judicial function of imposing sentences upon a convict and is a matter for the determination of the court." Redway v. Walker, 132 Conn. 300, 306, 43 A.2d 748. The same principle applies to life sentences in murder cases. State v. Maxey, 42 N.J. 62, 69, 198 A.2d 768. In that case, the defendant was convicted by the jury of two separate and distinct murders in the first degree. The jury recommended life imprisonment instead of the death penalty. The court sentenced the defendant to life imprisonment on each count, the sentence on the second count to be served consecutively to that imposed under the first count. The defendant, upon appeal, advanced claims of illegality which bear striking similarity to those of the *601 defendants in our cases. The New Jersey Supreme Court affirmed the action of the sentencing judge and held (p. 69): "In the absence of a statute expressly prohibiting the sentencing judge from exercising such discretion, we find that the power to impose consecutive life sentences resides in the trial judge." Life sentences consecutive to other sentences have been upheld in In re Pedrini, 33 Cal. 2d 876, 882, 206 P.2d 699, and McCoy v. Severson, 118 Utah 502, 515, 222 P.2d 1058. The court had the authority to impose the sentences which it did in these cases, and there was no abuse of discretion in so doing.

At the time of sentencing the defendants, the court made some observations about the nature of the crimes, the personalities of the defendants and the doubt entertained by the court that the defendants would respond to medical and psychiatric treatment to the extent that they might be proper subjects in twenty years for parole under the provisions of General Statutes § 54-125. This statute permits the board of parole to release on parole an inmate of the state prison serving a life sentence after twenty-five years' confinement or after twenty years with maximum good conduct credits in prison. In other words, the court intended to and did put into the record its belief that neither defendant would merit parole in twenty years and therefore deemed it advisable to impose the consecutive sentences. The court went on to state that it did not necessarily feel that the defendants should be confined for forty years. Although it was not mentioned specifically, the court probably had in mind the jurisdiction of the board of pardons under General Statutes § 18-26.

Whether a sentencing judge, in determining the *602 proper sentence to be imposed, should take into account the possibilities of release on parole is a subject upon which there are conflicting views. It was approved in New Jersey in State v. Maxey, supra, 69, in which it was stated that the court could "conceive of no reason why a man who has been found guilty of two murders should necessarily receive the benefit of the same parole eligibility as a man who has committed only one murder" and it affirmed the action of the trial court as reported in State v. Maxey, 77 N.J. Super. 397, 406, 186 A.2d 536. In Morris v. Commonwealth, 268 S.W.2d 427, 428 (Ky.), in which consecutive life sentences were approved, the opposite view, that the sentence should be commensurate with the crime without regard to the possibility of parole, was espoused. Where, as here, the trial court had the authority to impose consecutive sentences, it could, in determining a proper sentence, consider all the mitigating and aggravating circumstances involved in the crime. State v. Smith, 5 Day 175, 179; 24B C.J.S. 578, Criminal Law, § 1983(1) (b). In addition, the court could also take into account the operative effect of the parole laws so far as they might have a bearing on the determination of a proper sentence under all of the relevant facts and circumstances. See 41 C.J.S., Homicide, § 436.

We find it difficult to follow the reasoning of the defendants that the sentences imposed upon them are in violation of article first, § 10, of the Connecticut constitution, which, as one of the declaration of rights, provides that "[n]o man shall be arrested, detained or punished, except in cases clearly warranted by law." That section is wholly concerned with safeguarding the rights of persons charged with crime. Cinque v. Boyd, 99 Conn. 70, 94, 121 A. *603 678. It would be preposterous to hold that a person who commits a crime has a constitutional right to escape punishment for it. As already stated, in the absence of statutory restriction, the punishment inflicted is clearly warranted by General Statutes § 53-11, which directs life imprisonment for each second-degree murder committed.

The final argument advanced by the defendants is that the sentences constitute cruel and unusual punishment, which is prohibited under the eighth amendment to the federal constitution. When the objection is to the sentence and not to the statute under which the sentence was imposed, the sentence is not cruel or unusual if it is in conformity with the limit fixed by statute. When the statute does not violate the constitution, any punishment which conforms to it cannot be adjudged excessive since it is within the power of the legislature and not the judiciary to determine the extent of the punishment which may be imposed on those convicted of crime. The imposition of life sentences to run consecutively for two second-degree murders is neither excessive nor cruel and inhuman punishment. Chavigny v. State, 112 So. 2d 910, 915 (Fla. App.), cert. denied, 114 So. 2d 6 (Fla.), cert. denied, 362 U.S. 922, 80 S. Ct. 676, 4 L. Ed. 2d 742; see also Lindsey v. United States, 332 F.2d 688, 692 (9th Cir.); Anthony v. United States, 331 F.2d 687, 694 (9th Cir.); Boerngen v. United States, 326 F.2d 326, 329 (5th Cir.); Pependrea v. United States, 275 F.2d 325, 329 (9th Cir.). As the sentences imposed did not exceed the permissible statutory penalties, the punishment cannot be held to be cruel and unusual as a matter of law. State v. Levy, 103 Conn. 138, 148, 130 A. 96.

There is no error.

In this opinion the other judges concurred.

Lucasfilm have revealed the cast and crew they're putting forward for Emmy consideration, and it's a long list as the creatives behind the third season of The Mandalorian go for gold. Every episode of the third season gets some kind of nod, including submissions for every big-name member of the Mandalorian family; Pedro Pascal, Katee Sackhoff, Dave Filoni, Jon Favreau, Rick Famuyiwa and more. This is certainly a comprehensive list, so plenty for the powers that be to think about.

The Odyssey, The Iliad, & The Winchesters

A thinkpiece on the upcoming The Winchesters prequel show to Supernatural;

11,039 words

EXCERPT

Let’s set the stage and learn who our main storytellers will be: Jensen and Robbie Thompson under Chaos Machine Productions (CMP).

Let’s start with Robbie.

When initial criticisms came out during the June 2021 leak, I wondered how many people voicing their opinions and concerns were newer Supernatural fans and/or wasn’t aware of Robbie’s impactful time of the show.

I know many fans had started during “Dabb Era” which comprised of seasons 12-15 where Andrew Dabb was the showrunner of Supernatural.

Robbie’s last episode was in season 11. He never got to write for “Dabb Era” and many fans who started in this time were not around during peak Robbie fandom.

His first episode was Slash Fiction, 7x06. It was an episode where we saw leviathan pretending to be Sam and Dean, trying to draw them out, and putting them on every wanted list in America. It’s also the episode where we meet Frank Devereaux, played by Kevin McNally.

Robbie’s final episode was Don’t Call me Shurley, 11x20, where we saw the return of Chuck and confirmed his identity was that of God. It’s where we get some Chuck and Metatron dialogue, setting up what will eventually become the final battle by the end of the show. Oh also, Robbie made God queer — so that was pretty sweet.

In between those episodes, Thompson penned several that became iconic in certain sectors of the fandom like LARP and the Real Girl, Goodbye Stranger, First Born, Fan Fiction, and Baby.

And that’s not even all of them. Gifsets, fan edits, fanfic, fanart, Twitter threads, and other Tumblr posts still get made to this day off of fan-favorite episodes he’s written.

Robbie is an exceptionally talented writer. Between the way he approaches a story, the way he approaches puzzles (figuring out canon, making a story around one idea, etc…), and how he develops characters or works with the existing canon of characters that aren’t his — he’s someone I would want working on a Supernatural spin-off story of this size. He’s also just… a big ol’ fan of the show.

Like always, all the information/speculation I put in this is based off social media posts from different Hallmark actors/actresses, general social media info and a production website I look at often. Things such air dates, airing networks, co-stars, movie titles, etc, are always subject to change.

Giles Panton - Put on social media he’s heading to a location to film where there will be lots of snow. He will even be a leading man in this upcoming project. My main guesses are for Lifetime or Uptv related gig. But Hallmark is still an option I would think. 

Family Christmas Tree - Directed by Jason Bourque. He’s directed a handful of Hailey Dean movies as well as single Hallmark Christmas movies. Possible Christmas movie for the 2022 season!

Harmony From the Heart - Directed by know Hallmark director Michael Robison.  

Brittany Bristow and Chris McNally - A Dog Named Indie - Bristow confirmed project and that it was for Hallmark on social media, saying it was premiering in the Spring 2022. 

Wedding Vail Wishes 3 - As the first one focuses mostly on Lacey, this one will either by mostly for Autumn Reeser or Alison Sweeny. I believe Ali mentioned she was in Canada recently so it’s safe to assume this movie will mostly be about her character in the trilogy series. 

A Royal Runway Romance - Only information about this movie is the director, David Weaver, as he’s well known in the Hallmark world. 

Alvina August and Jarod Joseph - A Second Chance at Love - The plot and premiere date have both been announced  but it will star Alvina August, Jarod Joseph, Gloria Reuben and Eriq La Selle. 

Christmas in London - A project originally penned for 2020 but due to COVID got pushed back.  Latest news if that it start filming this month in the UK. Ron Oliver wrote the script with Jonathan Wright directing, who has done other Hallmark holiday movies. Last I knew Ryan Pavey was the male lead but no things could have changed. Safe to assume it be a Christmas 2022 premiere.
