For all those that have yet to
watch Friday night’s episode of Haven,
entitled ‘The Lighthouse’, now would be your last chance to do so before
proceeding ahead. For this is not a spoiler free blog. THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS! You’ve been warned.
Well, I have to say this season
finale definitely had its moments. I really enjoyed the point where William
realizes a piece of his past love has clicked in Audrey when she re-Troubles
Duke. Colin Ferguson is such an amazing actor, he was so great this season,
especially the last few episodes, that I desperately hope he is not gone for
good and that we get to see him again next season.
Also, I am extremely excited to
get to know Mara more, Audrey’s original incarnation. The little bits of story
that have filtered in this series certainly make sense, despite how sci-fi the
whole Door business was; I am interested in this actual personality. That last
line that Emily Rose spoke, as Mara, were incredibly heightening of my
excitement for next season to come sooner. Audrey has been such a do-gooder,
wanting to help, and that’s all very nice and good of her, but I am so beyond
intrigued to learn who this more dangerous character is, and the history of her
and William in that town.
That being said, there were
several things I was disappointed with. Like I’ve said before, Jennifer was not
written into this series well, she just seemed to take over completely. I’m
really hoping she’s not back next year. Also, the extreme sci-fi nature of the
Door, and what they opened. The Barn was one thing, this came across as a
little much. And it wasn’t quite explained well, the whole being from another
place was the four people that were needed to open the Door. I thought Audrey –
or really Mara – and William were both from this place but were punished and
sent into the Door. That’s one thing I’m rather confused about, and could’ve
been explained better. The other thing I wasn’t happy about, was how this whole
symbol ended up on Vince’s arm, and yet he had nothing to do with opening the
Door, it was his brother. I didn’t understand that at all.
All in all, I am rather intrigued
to see where they go with this series next season. I don’t really feel like
this season was as tightly written as it should’ve been; there was a lot of
filler bits to this season that weren’t necessary, and it was very slow going. That
being said, Colin Ferguson was definitely a welcome addition to the show, and
Duke – for the most part – was as wonderful as always. I was so happy for him
to get the Crocker curse back, but I really hope he’s able to get all the
curses coming to him under control. Let’s be honest, though, they’re not going
to kill Duke Crocker off the series, he’s one of the best things it’s got going
for him, although he could go for a haircut. Basically, this was an uneven
season, but it had more things I loved than past seasons have.
My rating: 7.5 out of 10.
Best Lines:
“You saw it. I’ve won.” – William states, regarding Audrey.
“There’s a guy that knows what’s on the other side of that
door. You and me should go for a beer.” – William says to Dave.
“He’s as good as dead. Now, who’s going to help me get
William back?” – A freshly awakened Mara remarks.
Okay, I may get around to doing a full season review of this
show next week, when I’m all done and caught up with the other four reviews.
Check back tomorrow (or really later today) for my reviews of Once Upon A Time, Revenge, How I Met Your
Mother, and Almost Human.
