[initial reaction] Haven 4x06

[grimorie]

I wish we had more Lexie. I really wanted to explore the identities Audrey gets each time she returns. I'd have love more conflict in that.

Also, I really like Duke. I never thought I'd love him as much (or more) than Nathan.

I love how Audrey reiterated that going in the barn was her choice, something Duke pointed out from last season, and how killing Nathan will be her choice too.

(Still hoping the killing someone she loves the most meant something else, that its not a thing. Audrey is connected to Haven, she loves the people in Haven. Haven as a whole is the thing she loves the most.)

So now we have the bad Crocker brother, everything Nathan accused Duke of becoming is what Wade is.

--

Getting new regular female characters, its sad I know that meant Jordan will die.

I love Haven for a lot of things but not killing of the women.

Duke is the bright shining hero in all this. LOVE HIM.

I love how Audrey reiterated that going in the barn was her choice, something Duke pointed out from last season, and how killing Nathan will be her choice too.

THIS! This was the greatest thing for me because I've been having such a problem with Nathan just neglecting to think of Audrey's agency in any of this. So it was beyond wonderful to have her smack him down for it.

The show has not been doing so well with its female characters in the past two seasons, sadly. I hope that changes.

I really love Audrey pointing it out, a lot! And I love that secret keeping is almost unheard of in this show!

Could really do a lot better in keeping other women not Audrey to live for more than a season though :(.

Audrey is connected to Haven, she loves the people in Haven. Haven as a whole is the thing she loves the most.

Oh, now there's a thought! I was thinking this episode about the destruction of Haven, specifically in the context of Wade. How intimately does he have to kill people? If he set off a nuclear bomb that flattened Haven, would the Troubles persist among their relatives, or would he have ended the Troubles permanently?

The only thing I didn't love about this episode was Jordan's death. They did a lot this episode to fix things that I was worried they had forgotten (like going into the Barn and killing Nathan both being something only she could decide to do).

Jordan's death really was the sour point for me, I didn't like that when I saw two women characters who might appear semi-regularly I already knew that would be Jordan's final episode.

I thought Jordan walking away was how we'll last see her, and I was okay with that but there it was, to my horror, Wade killing her. Sigh. I love this show but this show is not good to women who are not Haven!Audrey.
