Haven Season 2: Discussion, Spoilers, Etc.

I liked the bit with the kid playing with the paper boat. reminded me of IT. great start love this show. what are they planing with the second audry?

 

^^^ And don't forget -- there are two Howards, too. If "our" Audrey is really Lucy (and the "new" Audrey is the real Audrey and presumably her boss is the real Howard), then who is "our" Howard, really?

 

I watched a couple of episodes when this show first started and gave up on it. However, I watched the season finale and this episode to consider giving it a second chance.

I'm curious, do they explain why the populace don't go running away from Haven or do they just consider it slightly weirder than normal New England happenings?

 

^^ I can see that now that you mention it. So you have like the Rev and his followers who will stick it out for faith. And you have people like the police chief's son and Eric Balfour's characters (sorry names escape me) who are looking for something. Makes a little sense I guess.

 

wait so if that guy reads Lord of the Rings will a hobbit fall on his head?

 

My partner, who has read Stephen King, recognised it immediately & got tense as the kid reached in.

 

This is Stephen King's New England. The region is crawling with weird towns.

 

^^ That's what I was getting at.

 

I thought it was good. The whole two Audreys put me in a strange place. I'm not too sure how they will get along.

I think the best part was the smuggler and the cop burying the Chief in an unmarked grave. Underneath it all there is a mutual respect between the two and it's that type of unspoken honor that is... rather swell if you think about it.

 

I haven't seen any of the eps but have seen the commericals for it and I remember seeing a clown that looks a lot like pennywise, any connection? I loved IT the book and TV movie

 

^^ It looks like the clown will be on next week.

The premiere was good. Hopefully, this year there will be a little more urgency to the arc. My main problem in the first year was that Audrey was a little too lackadaisical in following up on something that meant so much to her. The characters, the actors, the setting, the stories are otherwise all good.

It looks like Audrey II will be an ongoing character (and I really hope she gets the chance to say, "Sho looks like plant food to me"). The fact that she has her own Howard really complicates the mystery. And last year, our Howard was conspiring with the sheriff, so if our Audrey is the fake, he could have been part of that.

I think Duke's wife will be a good addition to the storyline as well. And I liked the burial scene-- the relationship between Nathan and Duke is great to watch.

 

What was that little conversation between the brothers at the end -- I thought he said it wasn't actually Lucy but someone else? I didn't catch exactly what they said/meant.

I wonder if Our!Howard is someone in a string of someones who've been keeping an eye on Lucy/Audrey since she left Haven. Did they say Lucy had helped stop the Troubles when they happened before? Maybe the Chief wanted to make sure someone would guide her back to Haven when the Troubles started again.

Maybe Lucy's Trouble is taking on other people's personas and forgetting her own.

Nathan was adorable as he enjoyed feeling things again. And...what a look on his face when Audrey laid her hand on his, after he'd lost the ability again. Of course, he could feel that.

 

Good episode. I liked how the bonds between Audrey and Nathan are tightening. Like the other poster said, I hope the mythology doesn't get muddled. There are a lot of other things to keep an eye on.
