Man, I am so thrilled with this season of "Haven"! The writers seem to be at the top of their game, or perhaps are hitting their stride in the development of the characters. Tonight's episode threw in some new backstory and brought into question the motivations of two of the most stable characters. Nice.
Things are heating up visually as well, and the relationships are all taking on new dimensions. Somehow this place just comes out of the screen at you--you feel as if you've been there, are there, can reach out and touch "there". And you just can't help but love the people. Sure, it's a messed up place, but I'd take a vacation there in a minute.
The thing I find most compelling in fiction--be it TV show, movie, book, play, or song--is a sense of place. With this show there is no shortage of attention to that very important detail.
Oh, and Keri figured out what it is that makes the "Duke" character so damned cute and mesmerizing. He looks just like the stock "Prince" animated character from the Disney movies. Those cheekbones, eyes, that hairstyle, the cocky attitude. What else could you ask for in a real life prince?
