quick thought on Haven 4.9

[imwalde]

I don't quite know what I make of this episode, because I'll have to see how the William revelation holds up when I rewatching the Bar(n) scenes from earlier in the season. But way to play creepy, Colin Ferguson! Who knew you had it in you?

The thought has not totally cohered in my brain, but I am thinking William and the original Audrey were in Haven as settlers or colonists or something way back in the day, and that William was somehow at the origin of the Troubles, and that people trying to stop them chose his lady love to be the savior/power the Barn's suppression as a punishment? This idea is partly inspired by Audrey's question to Agent Howard on if she was being punished. And maybe Agent Howard, in addition to being Audrey's minder, also prevented William from interfering? No idea what the sparks when they touch mean. Or what the flower turning into a pile of Trouble ear pebbles means. He seemed disappointed. If his original lady love's memories had resurfaced, would the flower have stayed a flower? Once again, I genuinely don't know where any of this is going, and that pleases me.

In other tv news, I continue to love Hart of Dixie. That show is a ray of sunshine on my tv. It is fucking delightful, and makes me so happy. I watch so many shows with high stakes and tension, I do love that the stakes of a given HOD episode might be, can the best friend and new boyfriend of the main character learn to get along? And Rachel Bilson is so gifted as a comedian, I just ♥ this show.

Yes, of course you're right, she's his cousin! Brainfart. Hopefully she'll be toned down, good point about the previous pattern. She seems way too young for George, though! Let's hope she meets someone else.

And lol, yes, the poll was a really good way of acknowledging what viewers are thinking while effectively dealing with it. I like Joel more and more, too. Like pretty much every character in the show, he has a good heart. That's the thing I love most about HoD - there are no bad guys. No one we're supposed to dislike. Everyone is multifaceted and human, and the things that seem like flaws often become qualities you eventually appreciate.

I thought Lemon and Lavon were destined, too, and I still kind of hope that somewhere down the line that might happen. But it's hard to hope anything bad could happen to Lavon and AB! They are so cute together. They're so good at working with chemistry on the show. It's definitely refreshing.
