Family seeks answers after Mississippi teen killed by police

Family seeks answers after Mississippi teen killed by police
The shooting of a Black teenager by police in Gulfport, Mississippi, has led to outcry from family members and activists who say the teen was unarmed with his hands up when he was confronted by police. The teen died days later after being taken off life support.
Police say 15-year-old Jaheim McMillan was armed and refused to drop his weapon when officers fired at him following a foot chase.
The hashtag #JusticeForJaheim has been trending on social media, with some posting photos of the teen bleeding out while handcuffed on the ground.
During the Oct. 6 incident, officers responded to a 911 call about five teens waving firearms at passing cars and began chasing one of them, according to Gulfport police chief Adam Cooper, who held a press conference on the officer-involved shooting Wednesday.

Cooper told reporters that one officer observed McMillan was armed and gave orders for him to stop and drop his weapon.
“McMillan did not comply,” Cooper said.
Cooper also claimed McMillan “turned his body and weapon towards the officer,” so the officer fired at him.
Debra Stout, a Long Beach, Mississippi, resident told ABC News she witnessed the encounter and said she saw McMillan with his hands up. She says she was waiting outside her home for a phone call when she heard the gunshots.
“I did hear gunshots, I ducked. I didn’t know where they were coming from,” Stout told ABC News in a zoom interview. “There were guys on the ground, then I noticed the boy who passed away at the front door, but before that I did see him with his hands up.”
Stout says she could not see if McMillan was armed. “I didn’t know if he was alive or dead,” she said.
She said she believes there was a lack of urgency in the medical response to McMillan, because the ambulance, she said, arrived on scene without a siren on.

“I feel terrible. I probably have to get counseling,” Stout told ABC News. “I dream about it every night.”
Family members disagree with Cooper’s claims that Jaheim was armed.
“If Gulfport Police Department had footage of my little cousin holding a gun, best believe it would already have been released,” one family member, Court Elle Bolton, said in a Facebook post.
A spokesperson for the Gulfport Police Department declined to comment. Family members of McMillan did not immediately respond to ABC News’ requests for comment.
The Mississippi Attorney General’s office has jurisdiction on cases where officers use deadly force, Cooper said during the press conference. He said the Gulfport Police Department is “cooperating fully” with the AG’s investigation and will conduct an internal investigation.
Family members of McMillan also claimed in a Facebook video they were initially barred from entering a hospital in Mobile, Alabama, where the teenager was airlifted to following the shooting. The hospital – USA Children & Women’s Hospital – did not immediately respond to a request for comment from ABC News.

Jump The Shark
Author’s Note: This is part nineteen of The Best Laid Plans series
Summary: When John gets a call from the youngest son he never got to meet, Y/n goes with him to find out what happened to the one-night stand John had back in 1990.
Pairing: Alpha!John x Omega!Reader
Word count: 3597
Story Warnings: angst...A/B/O dynamics, canon divergence, angst, mentions of physical violence, mentions of mindfuckery, mentions of ferality, pining, did I mention angst?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You hadn't said anything. Not from the moment you and John found the truck. You climbed up into the cab and changed into jeans, a black and green plaid flannel and a pair of hiking boots. You dropped your suit skirt and blouse out the window going 80 down the interstate, and then you closed your eyes and listened to the Rolling Stones.
You had to open your eyes when your memories started attacking you.
Dean had been so sure that you were the one he wanted, the one he was looking for...but that was Dean Smith and Y/n Colt. That was a Stanford MBA and a former Miss Teen USA runner-up. The idea that he wanted to mark you was particularly hurtful and you were kinda glad you made him wait because you weren't sure if it would have reset like the first mark Sam gave you and the last thing you wanted was for Dean to be tethered to you when he could barely stand to be around you.
He only wanted you because he was someone else. He was someone else, but his soul was still stuck on you. You both felt that pull because you were connected but he didn't want you. Smith liked Colt, but Winchester would never love Y/l/n.
John just drove. It was obvious he had no destination in mind, he just pointed the truck West and drove. Part of you wished that he would go back to Mississippi but you knew that your semi-normal was gone...and it was better. You were a hunter and so were your alphas. No normal for you.
"It hit her hard, Sammy," you heard John whispering as he drove when you woke up a few hours into Missouri. "She hasn’t been that close with your brother in years and the fact that it was all fake is killing her."
A pang of sadness hit you as your brain called forth what John was talking about. The haze of sleep had taken the memory, but now it was clear why your heart felt like so many broken pieces shoved into a box in your chest.
"Yeah, we know that but he won't say it and she probably wouldn't be able to hear it now anyway." John sighed as Sam spoke through the phone. "Son, I don't know what we can do other than what we always do. If you need help, just call, but she definitely doesn't need to be around your brother for a while. All right. Keep me updated," John said before setting his phone on the dashboard. "I know you’re awake, 'mega. Can't fool me."
"Wasn't trying to fool you. Just letting you finish your conversation," you responded, sitting up and stretching as best as you could in the truck cab. "What'd Sam want?"
"Tell me that the whole deal in Cincinnati was the Angels fucking with us. Specifically fucking with Dean. They wanted to prove to him that he was always supposed to be a Hunter or something."
"And we just got pulled along for the ride? That was nice of them." You rolled your eyes and reached down for your purse, pulling out a travel mouthwash. "So, what, everything's dandy now?" you asked as you took a drink of the mint liquid, swished it around in your mouth and swallowed.
"You know, you're supposed to spit that out, right?"
"Only quitters spit," you said automatically. You ran your hand across your face as you dropped the bottle to the floorboard. Dirty jokes Dean told you as a teen were not what you needed to get out of your funk. “I’ve put worse things in my body.”
“Girl, we...we’ll get through this.”
“Not like we have a lot of options, right?” You licked your lips and shook your head. “I’m fine, John. I slept. I’m better. I’m fine.”
“When are you gonna learn that it’s useless to lie to me?” John asked.
“I’m sure it’ll sink in eventually,” you responded, chuckling. “I promise...I’m going to be fine.”
“I know you will,” John said, reaching over to pat your knee.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few weeks passed and you were getting better at putting it behind you. The might’ve-beens dragged up by the Angels in Cincinnati were slowly being pushed back into the recesses of your mind and you were feeling better. Sam emailed John to tell him about some jerk in Ohio writing books about the boys’ lives, someone Castiel revealed to be a Prophet of the Lord who was writing The Winchester Gospels. There were books about the boys’ lives, their actions, their innermost thoughts, just hanging out on bookshelves around the world. You wondered if you were in any of the stories, the gospels.
John’s secondary cell phone went off as you pulled the truck into the parking lot of a coffee shop and he frowned as he looked down at the screen before he answered, “Hello?” A beat of time as you parked the truck and turned to him. “He’s not available. Can I help you?” He had a severe look on his face and you shook your head at him, confused by his reaction to the call. “What’d you say your name was? Milligan...and, uh, what are you callin’ John for?”
He made a fist and hammered it into his forehead. “Right, well, uh, I hate to have to tell you this over the phone but John is dead. He died in 2001.” Your eyes went wide and John put a finger up to quiet you before you could even start to question. “If you need help, then I can meet with you, kid. I’m, uh, John Winchester’s son, Dean. Windom, Minnesota. Cousin Oliver Café. We’ll be there tomorrow at 8am. See ya then, kid.”
“What the fuck, John?!” you exclaimed when he ended the call.
“Fuck.” He scratches his fingernails across his forehead and sighs as he sets the phone on the dash. “I recognized the area code, knew it was Missouri, thought it might have something to do with...with this case I had around January 1990. Anybody I interacted with back then, they would’ve known me before I got hit with that hex. So, that’s why I answered the phone like that and I’m glad I did because...because the kid on the other end of the phone is…” He trailed off and you gave him a pointed look.
“The kid on the other end of the phone is what?”
“My youngest son, Adam.”
Your eyes went wide, confusion and anger filling your body. “Your what?”
“I told you...I told you that I had one dalliance before you after Mary died, remember? When I was on that ghoul hunt and I went into rut and I-I was almost feral and I had one night where I couldn’t fuckin’ control myself and-”
“You knocked her up with pups?” you whispered. For some reason, it hurt a lot more than it should, especially considering you were only seven years old at the time.
“Only one. Adam.” He shook his head at himself. “She never told me. I didn’t know anything about it until 2001...and by then…by the time Adam called the first time, I was a young man again. I couldn’t show up looking like a twenty-five year old and start a relationship with the boy. So I just never called him back, kinda put him on the back burner. I figured I’d go see him when we found the witch and fixed me but I never found the witch and-”
“So, why’s he calling again now?” you asked, trying to be understanding. It wasn’t John’s fault. He should have told you. He should have told his other sons, but he couldn’t do anything about it now.
“His mom, Kate, is missing.”
“And he called you because?” you asked.
“Because the cops aren’t worried and his mom told him to try to get a hold of me if anything weird ever happened. She knew about the hunting.”
“So, your plan is to...pretend to be your oldest son and go meet your youngest son for the first time and try to find his missing mother...who most probably is just normal-missing, not supernatural-missing?” you asked, cautious of your tone.
“I can drop you somewhere if you don’t wanna participate in this, girl,” he said, biting his bottom lip.
“No,” you responded vehemently. “You don’t get to leave me behind, Winchester. Not ever again, remember?”
“Okay, then I’m gonna need you to back me on this and you’re going to have to call me ‘Dean’.”
You nodded. “I can do that.” You weren’t sure you wanted to, but you’d do it for him.
“Thank you, darlin’.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
John was nervous. You could smell it in his scent. You leaned into his shoulder as you sat in the booth, trying to calm him with your own scent. You kept your head on his shoulder as he switched a glass of water out with a glass of holy water and set a trio of silverware on the opposite side of the table. “Just in case.”
“You really think-”
“I looked into him, ya know? Kid did real good without me in his life,” John said suddenly. “He’s real and he’s smart and he never had anything to do with this life. I’m scared it bled onto him anyway.”
You sighed and leaned up to press a kiss to his temple as the door opened and a tall, thin young man walked into the diner. He looked like a mix of Sam and Dean. “That’s him,” you whispered, recognizing him from the Facebook profile.
John, or rather ‘Dean’, stood and waved at the boy.
“Dean?” Adam asked, walking over. John nodded. The boy laughed. “Wow, you look just like the picture my mom had of-of John. You’re almost the spitting image of him.” He let out a scoff as he sat down, his eyes moving to you. “Who’s this?”
“My omega,” John said, a bit defensively.
“Y/n,” you said, offering your hand to him.
Adam took it with a smile. “Wow.”
You felt a cringe move through your body and you looked down. “What?”
“I just…” Adam cleared his throat. “There’s not a lot of omegas in Windom and none are as pretty as you.”
Another Winchester flirting with you was sending all sorts of bad signals through your body. You softly tugged your hand back and sat back down as Adam settled into the opposite side of the booth and picked up the water. You held your breath when he took a drink but the water went down easy so you relaxed a bit.
But not much.
He smelled wrong. John was lavender and orange and ylang ylang, Dean was lavender and honeysuckle and anise, Sam was vanilla and coffee and undercurrents of honeysuckle when he was in rut. Adam smelled like dirt.
Not grass and forest and mossy logs, dirt. Just dirt. He didn’t even have a secondary scent to him, no undercurrent or complementary smell. Just dirt.
There should have been some part of him that smelled like a Winchester, even if he wasn’t the same makeup of a Winchester as the ones you knew. He shouldn’t smell like that.
Adam didn’t seem to notice your musing or your deep breaths to try and find something else in his scent. He went off on a tangent as he ate his breakfast about how John and Kate met in the emergency room at the hospital room where she works and he went into rut after he got hurt and Adam tried to get a hold of John when he was a kid and John just never picked up the phone and he’s glad that ‘Dean’ answered the phone this time.
“At least I know why he didn’t answer when I was calling before. So, uh, what happened to John?”
“Heart attack,” John responded. “It was sudden.”
“Right, guess that makes sense. Heart disease is the number one killer of men his age in the US,” Adam said.
Your eyes focused on the silverware in the man’s fists. Not a shifter either then. But this was something. This was not a Winchester.
“Well, after we get done eating, why don’t you take us to the house and we’ll see if we can’t find something to tell us where your mom got to,” John offered.
“Thanks, Dean,” Adam said with a smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"He didn't react to silver or holy water," John argued as he followed Adam's car down the road.
"So? There's plenty of things that can alter people's perception of them that don't react to silver or holy water! Rakshasas, sirens, djinns, ghouls, do I need to go on?" you argued back. "He smells like dirt, John. That is not-"
"Maybe that's just-"
"What'd his mother smell like?" you interrupted.
"Passion fruit...and something else I can't remember."
"Not dirt. He shouldn't smell like that. He's not your son."
John sighed and scratched at his chin. "You might be right. He should smell more like one of us. He doesn't even smell like an alpha, honestly, but...if he's not Adam, then where the hell is Adam? And where's Kate? And why the fuck would whatever he is try to get me out here?"
"I don't know."
"Me either. For now, let's focus on finding Kate and we'll go from there." You held in a groan and focused out the windshield. "I know, 'mega. I'm just...I got this feeling...I lost my opportunity to be a part of this boy's life because of that witch."
"And that’s terrible, John...but you wouldn't have me if it wasn't for that witch so…"
“I’m not sayin’ I regret it, sweetheart, I just...wish I could have...met him once before I went after that bitch.”
“I’m sorry,” you whispered, biting your thumbnail. “Sometimes I wish things were different, too.”
“You wish I never came over when you were going into that first heat,” he guessed.
You swallowed, but you didn’t answer. The truth was, you had thought through a lot of different wishes and butterfly-effect ripples of how it would change everything. If John didn’t show up, you wouldn’t be a hunter. If Dean hadn’t pushed you to let Sam take you when those apple-pie assholes put you in heat, you would have just been Dean’s. If you never sold your soul for Dean, you might have been able to move on, find another alpha...a non-Winchester.
“I don't think I'd be myself if you hadn't shown up,” you answered eventually. “I'd have stayed stuck at Bobby's, never ended up with an alpha let alone two, and I would be dying from never getting a knot in a few years' time...it’s better you did.”
"I'm...glad I did, Y/n. I like the woman you are, the strong and beautiful omega you are.”
You smiled and your cheeks heated up at the praise. “Let’s just get this done, huh?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You weren’t exactly happy that you were the one who had to crawl through the vents but Adam said, and John fucking agreed, that you were smallest and therefor the best choice. When you found the blood and pieces of skull and blond hair, you were happy to be small enough to pull your phone out of your pocket and text the news to John so he could break the news before you crawled back out.
“Call the cops. We gotta get out of here, though,” John said as he offered you a hand to help you up out of the vent.
“Wait, but-” Adam started to argue.
“We don’t mix with cops,” you responded, before stomping away from them, roughly brushing dust off of your jeans and shirt. “Come on, J-Dean. Let’s get out of here.”
“You don’t mix with-” Adam started to argue, but you pushed past him and stomped out to John’s truck.
“There was no surprise in his scent. There was no anger or sadness. I’ve lost both parents, John, there should have been-”
“Maybe he’s numb or-”
“Maybe he’s made of dirt or something!” you snapped. “That is not-”
“He hasn’t done anything wrong yet, ‘mega.”
You shook your head. “Yeah. Yet. You know what, John? I’m gonna go ahead and look into things that could be pretending to be your illegitimate pup.”
You barely looked at him as you got out of the truck and headed inside to start researching. When Adam showed up to find out what was going on with his missing mother and you and ‘Dean’ leaving before the cops showed up and “what the hell?!” John decided to explain about hunting as simply as he could. He didn’t explain who he really was, though. And then John decided to take Adam to explore other options of finding Kate.
It was a couple hours later that you came across a mention in an online lore forum that said ghouls, while normally scavengers who feast on dead flesh, could actually eat living specimens and have been shown to greatly enjoy fresh human meat and blood...and just like feasting on the dead, the ghoul can take the visage of their victim and their memories.
“Didn’t John say that’s what he was after when he was here before?” you whispered to yourself as you picked up your cell phone and dialed John’s number. It rang through until it went to voicemail. You called again. It went to voicemail again.
Panic fell over you. Your alpha was in trouble. Your alpha was in trouble and you had no idea where he was.
“Fuck!” You were almost shaking as you stood up and looked around aimlessly. What could you do? Another string of expletives fell from your mouth before you forced yourself to focus. You took a deep breath and closed your eyes. Your soul was connected to him. You needed to find him.
It only took a flash. A flash of the dining room at Kate’s house, John tied to the table had you grabbing the keys to John’s truck and rushing for your alpha. You pushed that truck as fast as it would go to get it to the house on the outskirts of Windom. The truck tires screeched as you slid to a stop in the front yard. You grabbed your shotgun from the rack in the truck bed and ran into the house.
John was tied to the table, ‘Adam’ and ‘Kate’ standing over him as he bled from his wrists. “Y/n,” he groaned. “They’re ghouls!”
“I know!” you snapped, aiming at Adam’s head and shooting. Parts of his head exploded onto the wall behind him and Kate shrieked before running at you. You moved to pump the shotgun for a second shot, but Kate grabbed you and tossed you into the wall like you were nothing.
“Y/n!”
“I’m fine, John!” you shouted, rolling onto your hands and knees.
“John?” Kate spat out, her tone dripping with poison.
“Forgot to mention before you started draining me,” John groaned. “I’m the one who killed your daddy, sweetheart.”
“Witches are better than plastic surgery, bitch,” you said, sweeping the woman’s leg with your foot. She fell to the floor and you jumped up, grabbing the shotgun and shooting her in the head, too. You licked your lips and panted as you limped over to the table and pulled out a knife, getting him loose from his binds. “You okay?” you asked, grabbing a rag and ripping it in half, wrapping each half around his wounds.
“Yeah. You...you got here in time.” He sat up, his legs hanging off the table as you secured the wraps around his wrists. “How’d you know?”
“I figured out ghouls could eat fresh and then I couldn’t get you on the phone and...I…” You licked your lips. “I knew where to find you.”
“How?” he pressed.
“How’d you know what motel room I was cutting Sam’s mark off of me?” you asked in answer.
“You felt it?” he asked and you nodded. He reached out, barely wincing at the pull on his wrist, and pulled you in for a soft, sad kiss. “They were siblings, kids of the ghoul I took down last time I was in Windom. They called to get revenge for me killing their dad.” He looked away. “Killed Kate and Adam to get revenge first. I was hoping I wasn’t right about my life bleeding on his.”
“It’s not your fault, John,” you whispered.
He shook his head. “I know. Shoulda stuck around to see if the thing left behind little monsters for me to kill, but...I went into rut...and then I had to get back to the boys.”
“John...it’s really not on you.”
“He’s dead because of me.”
“He was alive because of you,” you insisted. “He had nineteen years before these things...he had nineteen years because of you. Please, don’t let this get to you.” You chuckled, ruefully. “I’m the one that’s supposed to be barely floating in an ocean of shit. You’re supposed to be my life raft.”
He smiled and nodded. “I am. I am your life raft, darlin’. Just...a little blood-deprived right now. I’ll perk up after a glass of O.J. and some protein. Come on. Let’s get outta here.”
You nodded and wrapped his arm around your shoulders, helping him off of the table and walking him out to the truck.

evermore: the musical
CHARACTERS
Dorothea - grew up in a small town by tupelo, was born beautiful & would do anything to be famous. Had a highschool love with william
William - grew up in small town by tupelo, normal guy. Highschool love with dorothea
Este - grew up in a small poor southern town, tough upbringing but still wanted to be loved. Her parents died when she was a teen but she befriended an older, wise woman in town who acts as a mother and friend most of her life
Theodore - grew up in small poor southern town, tough upbringing turned him to be a bad guy
Marjorie - Este’s older, wiser friend who is full of wisdom
SUMMARY
Tupelo, Mississippi:
A young & beautiful dorothea is Tupelo’s most prized citizen. She has a lot of pressure to “be something” and because she’s a teenager, has a desire to rebel. She does, however, enjoy the spotlight and attention. William is a nice, normal boy who is desperately in love with dorothea [gold rush]. William and dorothea eventually date - in fact, they are together throughout highschool until dorothea leaves senior year to “make it big” in hollywood. William graduates without her and goes to a college nearby. Dorothea has some traction out there, but faces the struggle of hollywood: nasty agents, inappropriate big-wigs, and fake friends [dorothea]. She comes home on the holidays to visit her parents and always reunites with William for the weekend, before going back to LA [‘tis the damn season]. Two years later, she decides to stay with William and moves into his dorm... becomes friends with his friends… she isn’t happy she gave up her hollywood dream but is tired of not getting anywhere. And everyone can tell. A few years later, William is ready to propose and sets up everything. Dorothea can’t say yes. She leaves him and goes back to hollywood for another try [champagne problems]. Out there, she doesn’t make it big. Instead, she uses rich men to find love and wealth. After years of that, she is at yet another fancy party. Waiting for her next prey. A man asks her to dance. Her next victim. After a marvelous night of dancing and drinking with this man named Theodore, she realizes they were both there to con the rich [cowboy like me].
Gainesville, Alabama:
Este grew up poor. Her parents both died when she was a teen. Her best friend, Marjorie, is an older, wiser woman who acts as a mother to her - imparting life lessons to her for most of her adult life. Este married the town’s notorious bachelor, Theodore, who has a shady history. They had a few good years; Este always looked past the red flags and truly believed him to be a good guy. Theodore was always gone for business - a business no one asked too many questions about, but recently, had been gone more often. After months of trying to be the perfect wife to turn things around in their marriage [tolerate it], she accepts that he might be having an affair.
Hollywood, California:
Theodore and dorothea fell in love that night & begin an affair of many months of meeting in hollywood only, since Theodore’s wife is still in the picture. When theo is back home, dorothea reflects on all her past relationships, fully convincing herself theo is the right guy for her [long story short]. When theo is back in town, their time spent together is full of lust & passion [willow].
Gainesville, Alabama:
Este confides in Marjorie of her suspicion. She comes home one night and listens to Theodore on the phone with said affair-ee. A confirmation of her worst fear, she leaves town without telling anyone. She had planned to come back. Eventually.
Gainesville, Alabama:
Theodore reports Este as missing, but after weeks of waiting, is secretly enthused at the opportunity for dorothea to visit him at home. Marjorie takes this the wrong way and suspects that theodore killed Este and is now moving in his mistress. A rough past herself, she is equipped to murder him and hide the body [no body, no crime].
Somewhere, USA:
Este is still hopping from town-to-town, unsure where she is going, reflecting on her life. And enjoying the freedom and possibilities [happiness].
Gainesville, Alabama:
Dorothea is not sad at theodore’s disappearance. She is angry. She knows who did it and out of anger confronts Marjorie. They get into a scuffle and dorothea ends up killing marjorie in a blacked out rage. Dorothea skips town and is surprised when reflecting on the wrongdoings in her life, that william is on the top of her mind. She knows she must leave the country, but attempts to meet william in coney island, where she knows he started a new life. He does not respond but she leaves him a message and goes there anyway in hopes he’ll change his mind, before heading to Europe.
Coney Island, New York:
A melancholy Este arrives in coney island, another stop on her trip. She reflects on the past while sitting on a bench. She notices another woman doing the same, but doesn’t make much of it. The other woman is dorothea, waiting to see if william will meet her at the spot she said she’d be [coney island]. She waits hours for him but he never comes. She leaves. William did come, but too late. Insead, he runs into Este. Who is still sitting on a bench. They get to talking & realize they’re have more in common they just their pain. A romance starts to grow. Este does not know what’s happened to theodore and marjorie back at home. She is nervous for theodore to find out about her affair [ivy]. Even though he had one first, she is still scared of her husband who is a protective man. She calls home & finds out the news of theo and marjorie. She mourns the loss of marjorie [marjorie]. All the while, william and este’s love grows deeper. William receives a letter from dorothea in the mail. By now, he is completely over her [closure]. Because of Este. Meanwhile, somewhere in Europe, dorothea thinks of all the mistakes she’s made in her life - william being the biggest. She believes the pain will last forever, so she commits suicide [evermore]. William and Este live happily ever after.

Theodore and dorothea meet at a hollywood party where they’re both trying to find people to con. Instead, they fall in love.
Tolerate it
Este feels theodore’s love for her fade away
Long story short
Dorothea, after finding love in theo, reflects on all the past lover’s she’s had & used.
Willow
Dorothea & theodore falling in love
No body, no crime
Este tells a friend that she’s been noticing that Theodore’s been gone a lot & finds out he’s having an affair. One she confirms, she is so upset she leaves town. Theodore is having an affair with dorothea & they con people together. The friend thinks Este was killed by theo, so she goes out and kills theo. Dorothea is left in the aftermath.
Happiness
Este, after she runs away is reflecting on theo’s betrayal. She doesn’t know where she’s going yet. She truly thought he was a great guy & always gave him the benefit of the doubt. She eventually comes to term with the fact that she will be happy again, eventually.
Coney island
This is dorothea to william, but also este to theo. Este, after weeks of stopping in different cities after leaving when she found out about theo’s cheating, ended up in coney island. Dorothea knew theo’s & marjorie’s death looked bad on her so she escaped to coney island, before heading off to europe to start a new life. She knew william moved there & wanted to make amends. He wouldn’t meet her but she went anyway.
Ivy
Este and william run into each other in coney island and begin to fall in love, their pain in common. In este’s eyes, she still has a mean, protective husband at home and is worried about him finding out about william.
Marjorie
Este finds out about both theodore & marjorie’s death. Dorothea had an inkling that marjorie was the one who killed theodore, so she killed marjorie. She thought she’d feel vindicated but instead finds herself thinking about william. She tries to meet him in coney island and apologize for all she’s done before moving to europe to start a new life.
Closure
Dorothea reaches out to william via a letter, as to keep a low profile. She feels guilty for the things she’s done in her life and is trying to repent. William doesn’t need to hear from her - he is living a happily-ever-after life with este.
Evermore
Dorothea, reflecting on her mistakes in life… at the end of the song, dorothea commits suicide

Courtney
My name is Courtney. I'm still in school, but I've been very busy! In elementary school, I was the first person in my class to participate in the Jumping Jackets Program.
In middle school, I wanted to cheer. The traditional cheer qualifications could not accommodate my limitations. With the help of my mother and a cooperative school district, we established a cheer squad for students with disabilities who wanted to cheer.
I walked the runway as the 1st teen from Oklahoma with Down syndrome in the Miss Teen USA Pageant. In the history of the Miss Teen USA, Miss USA, Miss Universe franchise, I am the 2nd teen with Down Syndrome to walk the runway and the 1st ten of color with Down syndrome to walk the runway.
I was in the stage play, Mary Poppins Jr with Kaleidoscope and I was part of the National Championship Shining Starz CheerAblity Team.
I am active in AFJROTC, Key Club and the Greater Love Missionary Baptist Church Youth Department. I was recently an extra on the TV Pilot "Faculty Lounging.”
I am currently the first person with Down syndrome to participate in the First Tee Golf Program and I ride horses at Hope Retreat ranch.
My mother and I are Ambassadors for the United States 4th Congressional District for the National Down Syndrome Society. We are very active with the Global Down Syndrome Foundation. My opportunity to walk the runway in 2019 escorted by actress Mikaela Hoover, made me the 1st person with Down Syndrome from Oklahoma to be selected to participate in the GDS Be Beautiful, Be Yourself Fashion Show.
The Prenatally & Postnatally Diagnosed Condition Act (PL 110-374)/The Down Syndrome Information Act, was enacted into federal law in 2008 to increase the readiness of accurate, up-to-date and balanced information about Down syndrome to women and families considering prenatal testing. Unfortunately, the federal law was never funded and, in the absence of funding, advocates in several states have taken up the issue with their state legislatures. The focus on federal and state legislation is a result of the many ways to screen for and diagnose Down syndrome during pregnancy, including new noninvasive prenatal tests (NIPTs) available in select markets.
“Courtney's Law" is the Down Syndrome Information Act, It's similar to Hudson's Law and Mississippi. We are working to have Courtney's Law in effect in 2022.
I love to walk and move. People of Color with Down Syndrome have a shorter life span, with the help of my family and friends, we want to change how people look at being active. This is my forever platform.
I am an Ambassador for African American Girls and Women with Disabilities through Girl Trek. Getting exercise comes in different ways, but it's important to move.

Only One Vaccine Is OK for Older Teens. It’s Also the Hardest to Manage in Rural America.
As states expand covid-19 vaccine eligibility to allow shots for 16- and 17-year-olds, teens in rural America may have trouble getting them.
This story also ran on USA Today and GateHouse Media. It can be republished for free.
Of the three vaccines authorized in the U.S., currently only one can go to that age group: the Pfizer-BioNTech shot. That vaccine comes in 1,170-dose packages at minimum and expires after five days in a fridge, meaning too many doses on too tight a deadline for many rural communities to manage.
“We’re still trying to get people to accept the vaccine,” said Aurelia Jones-Taylor, CEO of Aaron E. Henry Community Health Services Center, which serves remote regions of the Mississippi Delta. “If we have to race to give out 1,100 doses in five days, that’s untenable.”
Some health experts say vaccinating children — more than a fifth of the nation’s population — is key to ending the pandemic. In the meantime, pressure is mounting to get vaccines out as health officials flag more surges of cases, this time with more contagious variants that seem to affect kids more than the initial virus strain that coursed through the U.S.
“The infection can continue to spread until we get everyone in the population vaccinated, and that includes younger individuals,” said Gypsyamber D’Souza, an epidemiologist with Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
The logistical challenges of eventually getting the shots to rural kids of all ages will likely continue, at least in the short term. That’s because the companies behind the sole vaccine with approval for 16- and 17-year-olds, Pfizer and BioNTech, have also been the first to seek federal approval to vaccinate younger ages after a trial showed the vaccine was effective in kids 12 through 15 years old. Pfizer spokesperson Steve Danehy said the company hopes to win regulatory approval for that age group before the start of the next school year.
For some families, the shots are so coveted that they’ll travel whatever distance it takes. Dr. Jeannette Wagner Waldron, 45, of Park County, Montana, said the closest place she was able to find a vaccine for her 17-year-old daughter, Julie Waldron, was Billings, which meant a nearly four-hour round trip to a CVS pharmacy there for the teen’s first shot.
“I’m more than willing to drive two hours to get my kiddos vaccinated,” Wagner Waldron said. “They’ve given up a lot, from their activities and seeing their friends, in order to protect people from the virus.”
Not everyone can travel that far for vaccines once, let alone twice to get both doses. Compound that with some reluctance in rural communities to get vaccinated at all. A recent KFF survey showed a larger share of rural residents — 21% — said they wouldn’t get a covid vaccine compared with urban and suburban respondents. That could mean not enough remaining demand for vaccines to use up a 1,170-dose Pfizer package in rural communities. Even if the demand exists, rural health departments may not have enough workers to administer the doses fast enough.
Karen Sullivan, health officer for the Butte-Silver Bow Health Department, said Butte will serve as the main vaccine base for 16- and 17-year-olds across five counties in southwestern Montana that together cover as much area as all of Maryland. She said she’s worried that delivering Pfizer shots to each community could risk wasting doses, but her department may make a new plan if too many people can’t get to Butte.
Health officials there have been trying to convince teenagers and their guardians the shots are safe and worth traveling for since Montana opened covid vaccines to everyone 16 and older April 1. Butte-Silver Bow’s new vaccine campaign includes sharing photos of the area’s school mascots getting the jab and raffle prizes for those who get vaccines.
“What we’re trying to do is get ahead of the variants,” Sullivan said. “We can’t get our 16- and 17-year-olds vaccinated fast enough, in my mind.”
Finding Pfizer vaccines can be challenging even in cities, which serve as medical hubs for rural communities. To help with that, some providers have set up online covid vaccine registration systems specifically for 16- and 17-year-olds, such as one through Stanford Children’s Health for clinics around San Jose, California.
In Mississippi, Jones-Taylor said her center hopes to reach kids through school-based and mobile outreach clinics. But she said that depends on either the Moderna or Johnson & Johnson vaccine, each of which have minimum shipments of 100 doses, gaining regulatory approval for minors. Both manufacturers are testing how their shots work in children.
The Children’s Health Fund, a national nonprofit, has advocated for the “continued urgent inclusion of children of all ages in vaccine trials” and for prioritizing a single-dose, easy-to-store vaccine.
Dr. Cody Meissner, a pediatrician on the vaccine advisory committee for the Food and Drug Administration, questions the rush to extend the vaccines to younger ages without more time to study potential impacts, adding that children so far have been less likely to transmit the virus or die from an infection.
The debate over whether to vaccinate younger kids as a means to end the pandemic may soon be moot, though, said Dr. Monica Gandhi, chief of the Division of HIV, Infectious Diseases and Global Medicine at the University of California-San Francisco. She pointed to a recent study out of Israel — a nation ahead of the rest of the world in its vaccine effort — which showed that infection rates declined even without immunizing children younger than 16. That study has yet to be peer-reviewed.
“We may get to herd immunity without vaccinating all kids,” Gandhi said. “But as long as it’s a safe vaccine, the more people that get it, the more people that develop immunity, the better.”
Back in Park County, which has a population of fewer than 17,000, health officials have seen an increase in covid cases among younger people in recent weeks, some tied to middle and high school sports.
Dr. Laurel Desnick, county health officer, said the county set up vaccine clinics in high schools by working with the state and neighboring counties to split up a shipment of Pfizer vaccines, though that took time to organize. Until mid-April, the county directed 16- and 17-year-olds like Julie Waldron to a county more than 100 miles away for a shot.
“Some of our kids could do it, but not all,” Desnick said. “The further you are from a big center, the harder this gets. We’re rural, but we’re also not as remote as many of the central or eastern Montana counties, and I feel for them.”
For Ava Braham, who turned 16 two days before Montana expanded eligibility to her age, a vaccine clinic in her Park County school means she missed only 20 minutes of class to get her shot this month instead of having to drive more than 50 miles round trip over a mountain pass.
“The biggest thing for me with the vaccine is being able to see my family more often. Both of my grandparents have already gotten the shot, but I will feel more comfortable visiting them,” Braham said. “It’s sort of a moral obligation to help the whole country and the world to just get the shot.”

Fats Domino, the New Orleans rhythm-and-blues singer whose two-fisted boogie-woogie piano and nonchalant vocals, heard on dozens of hits, made him one of the biggest stars of the early rock ’n’ roll era, has died in Louisiana. He was 89.
His death was confirmed by his brother-in-law and former road manager Reggie Hall, who said he had no other details. Mr. Domino lived in Harvey, La., across the Mississippi River from New Orleans.
Mr. Domino had more than three dozen Top 40 pop hits through the 1950s and early ’60s, among them “Blueberry Hill,” “Ain’t It a Shame” (also known as “Ain’t That a Shame,” which is the actual lyric), “I’m Walkin’,” “Blue Monday” and “Walkin’ to New Orleans.” Throughout he displayed both the buoyant spirit of New Orleans, his hometown, and a droll resilience that reached listeners worldwide.
He sold 65 million singles in those years, with 23 gold records, making him second only to Elvis Presley as a commercial force. Presley acknowledged Mr. Domino as a predecessor.
“A lot of people seem to think I started this business,” Presley told Jet magazine in 1957. “But rock ’n’ roll was here a long time before I came along. Nobody can sing that music like colored people. Let’s face it: I can’t sing it like Fats Domino can. I know that.”
Rotund and standing 5 feet 5 inches — he would joke that he was as wide as he was tall — Mr. Domino had a big, infectious grin, a fondness for ornate, jewel-encrusted rings and an easygoing manner in performance; even in plaintive songs his voice had a smile in it. And he was a master of the wordless vocal, making hits out of songs full of “woo-woos” and “la-las.”
Working with the songwriter, producer and arranger David Bartholomew, Mr. Domino and his band carried New Orleans parade rhythms into rock ’n’ roll and put a local stamp on nearly everything they touched, even country tunes like “Jambalaya” or big-band songs like “My Blue Heaven” and “When My Dreamboat Comes Home.”
Antoine Dominique Domino Jr. was born on Feb. 26, 1928, the youngest of eight children in a family with Creole roots. He grew up in the Ninth Ward of New Orleans, where he spent most of his life.
Music filled his life from the age of 10, when his family inherited an old piano. After his brother-in-law Harrison Verrett, a traditional-jazz musician, wrote down the notes on the keys and taught him a few chords, Antoine threw himself at the instrument — so enthusiastically that his parents moved it to the garage.
He was almost entirely self-taught, picking up ideas from boogie-woogie masters like Meade Lux Lewis, Pinetop Smith and Amos Milburn. “Back then I used to play everybody’s records; everybody’s records who made records,” he told the New Orleans music magazine Offbeat in 2004. “I used to hear ’em, listen at ’em five, six, seven, eight times and I could play it just like the record because I had a good ear for catchin’ notes and different things.”
He attended the Louis B. Macarty School but dropped out in the fourth grade to work as an iceman’s helper. “In the houses where people had a piano in their rooms, I’d stop and play,” he told USA Today in 2007. “That’s how I practiced.”
In his teens, he started working at a club called the Hideaway with a band led by the bassist Billy Diamond, who nicknamed him Fats. Mr. Domino soon became the band’s frontman and a local draw.
“Fats was breaking up the place, man,” Mr. Bartholomew told The Cleveland Plain Dealer in 2010. “He was singing and playing the piano and carrying on. Everyone was having a good time. When you saw Fats Domino, it was ‘Let’s have a party!’ ”
He added: “My first impression was a lasting impression. He was a great singer. He was a great artist. And whatever he was doing, nobody could beat him.”
In 1947 Mr. Domino married Rosemary Hall, and they had eight children, Antoine III, Anatole, Andre, Anonio, Antoinette, Andrea, Anola and Adonica. His wife died in 2008. A complete list of survivors was not immediately available.
In 1949 Mr. Bartholomew brought Lew Chudd, the owner of Imperial Records in Los Angeles, to the Hideaway. Mr. Chudd signed Mr. Domino on the spot, with a contract, unusual for the time, that paid royalties rather than a one-time purchase of songs.
Immediately, Mr. Domino and Mr. Bartholomew wrote “The Fat Man,” a cleaned-up version of a song about drug addiction called “Junkers Blues,” and recorded it with Mr. Bartholomew’s studio band. By 1951 it had sold a million copies.
Mr. Domino’s trademark triplets, picked up from “It’s Midnight,” a 1949 record by the boogie-woogie pianist and singer Little Willie Littlefield, appeared on his next rhythm-and-blues hit, “Every Night About This Time.” The technique spread like wildfire, becoming a virtual requirement for rock ’n’ roll ballads.
“Fats made it popular,” Mr. Bartholomew told Rick Coleman, the author of “Blue Monday: Fats Domino and the Lost Dawn of Rock ’n’ Roll” (2006). “Then it was on every record.”
In 1952, on a chance visit to Cosimo Matassa’s recording studio in New Orleans, Mr. Domino was asked to help out on a recording by a nervous teenager named Lloyd Price. Sitting in with Mr. Bartholomew’s band, he came up with the memorable piano part for “Lawdy Miss Clawdy,” one of the first rhythm-and-blues records to cross over into the pop charts.
Through the early 1950s Mr. Domino turned out a stream of hits, taking up what seemed like permanent residence in the upper reaches of the R&B charts. His records began reaching the pop charts as well.
In that racially segregated era, white performers used his hits to build their careers. In 1955, “Ain’t It a Shame” became a No. 1 hit for Pat Boone as “Ain’t That a Shame,” while Domino’s arrangement of a traditional song, “Bo Weevil,” was imitated by Teresa Brewer.
Mr. Domino’s appeal to white teenagers broadened as he embarked on national tours and appeared with mixed-race rock ’n’ roll revues like the Moondog Jubilee of Stars Under the Stars, presented by the disc jockey Alan Freed at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn. Appearances on national television, on Steve Allen and Ed Sullivan’s shows, put him in millions of living rooms.
He did not flaunt his status as an innovator, or as an architect of a powerful cultural movement.
“Fats, how did this rock ’n’ roll all get started anyway?” an interviewer for a Hearst newsreel asked him in 1957. Mr. Domino answered: “Well, what they call rock ’n’ roll now is rhythm and blues. I’ve been playing it for 15 years in New Orleans.”
At a news conference in Las Vegas in 1969, after resuming his performing career, Elvis Presley interrupted a reporter who had called him “the king.” He pointed to Mr. Domino, who was in the room, and said, “There’s the real king of rock ’n’ roll.”
Mr. Domino had his biggest hit in 1956 with his version of “Blueberry Hill,” a song that had been recorded by Glenn Miller’s big band in 1940. It peaked at No. 2 on the pop charts and sold a reported three million copies.
“I liked that record ’cause I heard it by Louis Armstrong and I said, ‘That number gonna fit me,’ ” he told Offbeat. “We had to beg Lew Chudd for a while. I told him I wasn’t gonna make no more records till they put that record out. I could feel it, that it was a hit, a good record.”
He followed with two more Top Five pop hits: “Blue Monday” and “I’m Walkin’,” which outsold the version recorded by Ricky Nelson.
“I was lucky enough to write songs that carry a good beat and tell a real story that people could feel was their story, too — something that old people or the kids could both enjoy,” Mr. Domino told The Los Angeles Times in 1985.
Mr. Domino performed in 1950s movies like “Shake, Rattle and Rock,” “The Big Beat” (for which he and Mr. Bartholomew wrote the title song) and “The Girl Can’t Help It.” In 1957, he toured for three months with Chuck Berry, Clyde McPhatter, the Moonglows and others.
Well into the early 1960s, Mr. Domino continued to reach both the pop and rhythm-and-blues charts with songs like “Whole Lotta Lovin’,” “I’m Ready,” “I’m Gonna Be a Wheel Someday,” “Be My Guest,” “Walkin’ to New Orleans” and “My Girl Josephine.”
He toured Europe for the first time in 1962 and met the Beatles in Liverpool, before they were famous. His contract with Imperial ended in 1963, and he went on to record for ABC-Paramount, Mercury, Broadmoor, Reprise and other labels.
His last appearance in the pop Top 100 was in 1968, with a version of “Lady Madonna,” the Beatles song that had been inspired by Mr. Domino’s piano-pounding style. In 1982, he had a country hit with “Whiskey Heaven.”
Although he was no longer a pop sensation, Mr. Domino continued to perform worldwide and appeared for 10 months a year in Las Vegas in the mid-1960s. On tour, he would bring his own pots and pans so he could cook.
His life on the road ended in the early 1980s, when he decided that he did not want to leave New Orleans, saying it was the only place where he liked the food.
He went on to perform regularly at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, and in 1987 Jerry Lee Lewis and Ray Charles joined him for a Cinemax special, “Fats Domino and Friends.” He released a holiday album, “Christmas Is a Special Day,” in 1993.
Reclusive and notoriously resistant to interview requests, Mr. Domino stayed home even when he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1986 as one of its first members. He did the same when he received a lifetime achievement Grammy Award in 1987. In 1999, when he was awarded the National Medal of Arts,he sent his daughter Antoinette to the White House to pick up the prize.
He even refused to leave New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina devastated the city on Aug. 29, 2005, remaining at his flooded home — he was living in the Lower Ninth Ward then — until he was rescued by helicopter on Sept. 1.
“I wasn’t too nervous” about waiting to be saved, he told The New York Times in 2006. “I had my little wine and a couple of beers with me; I’m all right.”
His rescue was loosely the basis for “Saving Fats,” a tall tale in Sam Shepard’s 2010 short-story collection, “Day Out of Days.”
President George W. Bush visited Mr. Domino’s home in 2006 in recognition of New Orleans’s cultural resilience; that same year, Mr. Domino released “Alive and Kickin,’ ” his first album in more than a decade. The title song began, “All over the country, people want to know / Whatever happened to Fats Domino,” then continued, “I’m alive and kicking and I’m where I wanna be.”
He was often seen around New Orleans, emerging from his pink-roofed mansion driving a pink Cadillac. “I just drink my little beers, do some cookin’, anything I feel like ” he told The Daily Telegraph of London in 2007, describing his retirement.
In 1953, in Down Beat magazine, the Atlantic Records producer Jerry Wexler made a bold-sounding prediction that turned out to be, in retrospect, quite timid. “Can’t you envision a collector in 1993 discovering a Fats Domino record in a Salvation Army depot and rushing home to put it on the turntable?” he wrote. “We can. It’s good blues, it’s good jazz, and it’s the kind of good that never wears out.”

Jim Worth (Tim Roth; Lie to Me, Reservoir Dogs) es un exdetective inglés que se ha mudado junto a su familia a una idílica comunidad rural de las Montañas Rocosas para empezar una nueva vida como jefe de la policía local. Ese pequeño pueblo comienza a ser invadido por trabajadores de una nueva refinería dirigida por Elizabeth Bradshaw (Christina Hendricks; Mad Men, Another Period) y la oleada de drogas, apuestas, prostitución y crimen organizado que les acompaña amenaza con destruirlo todo.

A favor: No trata sobre sexo, sino de humanos que sacan beneficio del sexo.

youtube

Dos episodios. Estreno: 10 de septiembre
A favor: Grandes audiencias, supera en dos millones a la segunda temporada de Victoria.

En el comienzo de Rellik ('killer' al revés), un criminal es atrapado. La serie cuenta la búsqueda del asesino, empezando por el final, hasta llegar a sus motivaciones. En el centro de la ficción se encuentran el carismático e implacable detective metropolitano Gabriel Markham (Richard Dormer; Game of Thrones, Fortitude), a quien el asesino ha marcado tanto física como mentalmente, y su intensa y brillante compañera Elaine (Jodi Balfour; Quarry, Bomb Girls).

youtube

youtube
Star Trek: Discovery (CBS All Access)
CBS dio luz verde directa en noviembre de 2015 a una nueva serie de Star Trek para su servicio de streaming. En febrero de 2016, Bryan Fuller (Pushing Daisies, Hannibal) fue anunciado como showrunner y productor de una historia que seguiría a la nave Discovery, aunque fue apartado del proyecto en octubre debido a los retrasos de producción. Gretchen J. Berg y Aaron Harberts, guionistas de Wonderfalls y Pushing Daisies, son los actuales showrunners y, según los productores Akiva Goldsman (Fringe, Underground) y Alex Kurtzman (Fringe, Alias), mantienen la visión de Fuller -por ejemplo, en el maquillaje y las naves de los Klingon- al haber trabajado durante mucho tiempo junto a él. La historia transcurre diez años antes de la serie original y es independiente de la saga cinematográfica actual. Protagonizan Sonequa Martin-Green (The Walking Dead, The Good Wife), Jason Isaacs (Harry Potter, The OA), James Frain (Orphan Black, Gotham), Michelle Yeoh (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; Memoirs of a Geisha), Rainn Wilson (The Office, Six Feet Under), Doug Jones (The Neighbors, The Strain), Anthony Rapp (Rent, A Beautiful Mind), Shazad Latif (Penny Dreadful), Maulik Pancholy (30 Rock, Weeds), Terry Serpico (Sneaky Pete, Army Wives), Sam Vartholomeos (The Following), Mary Wiseman, Chris Obi y Mary Chieffo. El primer episodio se emitirá en CBS y estará disponible junto al segundo en CBS All Access inmediatamente después. Netflix estrenará cada episodio semanalmente a partir del 25 de septiembre. Estreno: 24 de septiembre
A favor: Narración serializada. Una en la que los humanos también se enfrentan entre ellos.
En contra: Kurtzman, creador junto a Fuller, cree que los retrasos eran necesarios para un proyecto de esta envergadura en un servicio de pago.
youtube
Alias Grace (CBC)
Miniserie adaptación de la novela de Margaret Atwood (The Handmaid's Tale) sobre Grace Marks, la inmigrante irlandesa juzgada por asesinato en Canadá en 1843.

Tanto la novela como la adaptación televisiva han añadido a un personaje ficticio, Simon Jordan (Edward Holcroft, Wolf Hall), un joven doctor que se enamora de Grace. Completan el reparto Zachary Levi (Chuck, Heroes Reborn), David Cronenberg (Jason X, Resurrection) y Rebecca Liddiard (Between, Houdini and Doyle). Mary Harron (American Psycho) dirigirá la adaptación de Sarah Polley (Away from Her). Llegará a Netflix el 3 de noviembre, pocos días después de su emisión completa en Canadá. Seis episodios. Estreno: 25 de septiembre

youtube

Raegan Revort, Montana Jordan y Lance Barber (The Comeback, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) interpretan a la hermana melliza, el hermano mayor y el padre del joven Sheldon. Por supuesto, escribe y produce Chuck Lorre (The Big Bang Theory, Mom, Two and a Half Men, Disjointed). Jon Favreau (Iron Man) dirige el primer episodio. Estreno: 25 de septiembre

Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore; Bates Motel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) es un joven médico con autismo y savantismo que deja su vida en el campo para empezar a trabajar en la unidad de cirugía de un prestigioso hospital.

youtube
Law & Order: True Crime - The Menendez Murders (NBC)
Antología que no guarda ninguna relación con la franquicia Law & Order y contará la historia de un juicio real en cada temporada. En la primera, la abogada Leslie Abramson (Edie Falco; The Sopranos, Nurse Jackie) defenderá a los adinerados hermanos de Beverly Hills Lyle (Miles Gaston Villanueva) y Erik Menendez (Gus Halper, Goat), que mataron a sus padres en 1989 a la edad de 21 y 18 años. Creada por Dick Wolf (Law & Order: SVU, Chicago Fire) y escrita por Rene Balcer (Law & Order). Ocho episodios. Estreno: 26 de septiembre
A favor: Una temporada más de American Crime Story.

youtube
Marvel's Inhumans (ABC)
La nueva serie de Marvel está protagonizada por inhumanos, una raza híbrida entre aliens y humanos cuyos miembros adquieren superpoderes tras pasar por un proceso conocido como "terrigénesis". Ya nos presentaron a los inhumanos en Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. y esta serie, que transcurre en la ciudad futurista de Attilan, está protagonizada por la familia real de estos híbridos, que huyen tras un golpe militar. Iwan Rheon (Game of Thrones, Misfits), Anson Mount (Hell on Wheels), Serinda Swan (Graceland), Ken Leung (Lost, The Night Shift), Eme Ikwuakor (Extant), Isabelle Cornish (Puberty Blues), Mike Moh (Empire) y Sonya Balmores (Soul Surfer) serán Maximus, Black Bolt, Medusa, Karnak, Gorgon, Crystal, Triton y Auran. Ocho episodios. Estreno: 29 de septiembre
A favor: Que sean ocho episodios y que los dos primeros se vayan a estrenar en cines IMAX quizá la salve del cutrerío visual que caracteriza a las series de ABC.
En contra: A SHIELD le hicieron falta 15 episodios para volverse interesante y el showrunner de Inhumans viene de Iron Fist...
