For all those that have yet to
watch Friday night’s episode of Haven,
entitled ‘When the Bough Breaks’, now would be a good time to go and do that.
This is not a spoiler free blog. THIS
REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS! You’ve been warned.
Well, I expected a little more
from the penultimate episode of the season. First of all, I’m still not
impressed by this whole business of making Jennifer such a significant
character. And the fact that all she’s basically able to do is open the damn
door is a little ridiculous. It could make sense, regarding how she was the one
that could hear inside the Barn, but it wasn’t explained anywhere near as well
as it should have, if that were the case.
Secondly, I expected more than
just a crying baby would be the undoing of Audrey. Okay, the ridiculousness of
that is, couldn’t they have just taken the handprint off the baby? Instead,
Audrey intends to give Duke back his family curse and kill the father. If that
were all it would take, why wouldn’t Audrey ask him to kill her? Haven’t there
been enough deaths for her to feel self-sacrificial? Chances are it would end the Troubles, and also end
William, so I don’t get it. I am really looking forward to being able to meet
whoever Audrey was to begin with, but I feel like they might end it on more of
that cliffhanger business that has grown so frustratingly long.
One thing I really did love was
Vince and Dave. These two brothers are fantastic together. Although, I do have
to say that it took an awfully long time for them to tell us Dave was adopted.
I did suspect something remiss, because they didn’t seem to have the one
Trouble, but I wasn’t much expecting him to be adopted. I would be curious to
learn what happened with both his, and Jennifer’s biological parents. But
again, I just love the two brothers.
All in all, this was a decent
outing for this series. Again, I did expect a little more than what was given,
but this season has been a bit of a hit and miss. This episode did really
demonstrate to me the chemistry between Duke and Audrey, way more than Jennifer
and Duke have, and more understanding than Audrey and Nathan have. Either I’m
going crazy, or these are the two that should be together, particularly
evidenced by the alternate reality episode. But, anyways, like I said, this was
an okay episode, but nothing fantastic for a penultimate episode.
My rating: 7 out of 10.
Best Lines:
“You didn’t tell me you ate the last of the marmalade last
night.” – Vince says. “That’s not the same thing, Vince.” – Dave replies.
“You were always such a clever Trouble maker.” – William
states, regarding Audrey.
“Well, that explains a lot.” – Duke mutters, relating to
Vince and Dave.
“But, if you ask me, I think the baby did it.” – William
says, mockingly shocked.
“Come any closer and I’ll punch you in the face. It’ll be
worth my own black eye.” – Audrey threatens William.
“I knew it! You said you quit smoking five years ago.” –
Vince exclaims, regarding Dave’s having matches.
All right, folks, that’ll be all for tonight. Check in
tomorrow for reviews of Once Upon A Time
and Revenge.
