I really like it. And Duke is great. So are the two newspaper guys.
i have never heard of it ... when and what channel?
it's on the syfy channel
I really like it, too. I tried to get into The Gates and just could not - it was too slow for me.
Haven is faster pace the The Gates

Those 2 old newspaper guys are a trip! The ME seems to be getting more friendly with what-her-name. She may find out who her mom was and that she has some sort of 'super power'.
Duke does kind remind me of a satyr too. The old guys are just too funny. I can't wait to see how this show plays out
I thought the whole scene where the newsmen were helping her choose a dress was priceless. I kept thinking they'd reveal Duke and Nathan as brothers. It was just the vibe I was getting from their rivalry.
I'm hoping they drop more hints about Audrey's mother soon. There must be something particularly special about her, because Audrey's boss was the one who led her back to Haven. What does he know!

I love the reporters. They're the main characters in the book, which I like more in some ways. But Haven is the enjoyable kind of crazy.Though, I feel left out of the fandom because I don't really ship anyone. I guess I'm just that weirdo in the fandom who simply wants everyone to be platonic friends. Or frenemies.
I can't wait til Friday. I got my mom watching the show and she really doesn't like paranormal shows all that much. She did watch Dark Shadows.

I don't understand. please explain.
I love Haven!! I started watching it when it first started along with the Gates and I thought The Gates would be the better show just by watching the previews but I was soooo wrong. Haven to me has much more interesting characters and plots.
Charlotte, which part do you want me to clarify? It's that, in most of the communities where Haven is discussed, everyone goes on about how Audrey and Nathan should get together, or Audrey and Duke, or Nathan and Duke . . . but I don't really support any of those couples, think that they're better off not tossing romance into the mix. I just don't see that kind of chemistry between any of them.
I think the should have a little romance. I like the ldea Audrey should be with who ever she wants.
Mollyscribbles wrote: "Charlotte, which part do you want me to clarify?"The part about 'I don't really ship anyone'. What does that mean?
Ah. Ship is a fandom term, developed in the mid-90s at best estimates, derived from the root term 'Relationshipper' (and later, 'shipper'), meaning someone who supports a certain couple getting together.By saying I don't ship anyone, I mean I don't really support any given pairing hooking up.
Mollyscribbles wrote: "Ah. Ship is a fandom term, By saying I don't ship anyone, I mean I don't really support any given pairing hooking up."Oh. OK. I never heard that term before. My new word of the day.
I love this show. I thought they were going to give AUdrey and Duke a shot but did anyone see the last episode when Audrey kisses Nathan's cheek and notice what happened? I won't give too much away in case anyone didn't watch it yet. I also hope to find out more about her mother.I watch the Gates and yes it was slow in the beginning but the last couple of episodes it's gotten pretty good. I heard it wasn't doing to well in the ratinsg though so it may not be back after this summer.
The Gates took a while to get to the point, which is that the cop needed to clue in to the paranormal aspects of the community so that he could actually do his job. By being able to ask someone and tell the difference between "Potential break-in" and "werewolf kid sneaking back after a run", it makes him more effective at his job.

It would be nice to see two guys going for the affection of a woman that is trying to learn to have a life outside of the job.
Good I hope they still put Audrey with Duke. I wasn't sure about him at first but now I love his character. And I can't wait to find out the issues between him and Nathan...
Mod
They do, Ann! I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who got that impression. There seems to be an underlying closeness there. Perhaps they were just best friends in childhood who went separate ways. I was wondering what the connection was to King's book. Thanks, Molly for mentioning it!
The Colorado Kid is pretty good, but very different from the show. Something weird happens, but it's more of a normal-level weird than you'll see in the show.
Mod
Ahhhh. Yes, that's true, Ann!Molly, Stephen King did normal-level weird? Crazy!
Yeah. It's more the sort of weird that you might encounter on Unsolved Mysteries than his normal fare. And, as the reporters did more digging than the cops on this one, I'm getting impatient for Audrey to get around to asking them about the matter.
Mod
I love this show! it is getting really good, that most recent episode was awesome!
I missed some episodes
I was upset about a character they killed this past week. 9/10
I LOVE this show. Saw the episode where Audrey kissed Nathan and he FELT her touch. Very cool twist. So didn't see that coming...and I should have. If an episode aired after that, I missed it. :(
yeah, they just had one this past Friday. birthday party for Audrey (but I will say no more on that)
Mod
was sick on Friday (migraine) and went to bed at like 5:30--PM, not AM. Normally it would have been about 2 or 3 AM. But when a migraine hits--its just, go to bed, turn off all lights, threaten to put mittens on the cat and kill any humans that come near, turn the ac down as low as I can get it and then TRY to sleep it off.
That's why I stopped. Everything else is good. :) Did you tape it? If not, you might be able to see the episode on syfy.com
I wasn't happy with that character going either! And I like that they're advancing the whole Lady in the Picture mystery!

And I'm happy that Duke has some info on her and is going to help her out because he is my favoriate character.
Now I have to see if I can watch the episode I missed on syfy.com. My cable compnay has an on demand feature, but they don't have the episdoe I want to see listed yet. Hmmm...I know what I'm doing on my lunch hour today! =D
Mod
Just caught up on the last few Haven episodes I missed. *******************spoiler***************************
Loved how Nathan kissed Audrey to see if she was the real Audrey.
body snatcher: "How did you know it was me?"
Nathan whispers: "Because I can feel it when Audrey touches me. I don't feel anything with you."
Makes the heart flutter...
Renee,****spoiler****
Yup, now he is fixated on feeling something. The little things. She is like his drug. I think I am hooked.
The last two episodes or so have really upped my interest level! It has a lot to do with them getting more deeply into the mystery surrounding Audrey. Also, the actors seem to be growing more comfortable in their roles.
This past Friday's episode was just fun. Love Duke being the distraction.
Mod
Did anyone see the season finale of Haven?
