#Haven 2010

[hurtcomfortguaranteed]

Many residents of the small town of Haven possess a curse or “trouble”. Nathan’s trouble makes him unable to feel anything, including pain, meaning he tends to just drop confused like a sack of potatoes sometimes when an injury finally registers. Good thing in Haven 3x13, Duke is there to catch him!

I just finished Haven and I wanted to write something about the whole show, some sort of review, but right now, when I just finished it, I can only think about him. Duke Crocker. Just the last to painfully enter my list of characters that deserved better.

I do have this tendency to fall hard for fictional characters. When you spend so much time watching their lives, and their struggles, to laugh and cry together with them, it's hard not to feel for them. I mean, it's obviously not the same as loving someone in real life, but I do think it's a close thing.

I liked Duke from the first episode and then I just started falling in love with him with each of the following ones. They made him so real and I loved him so much. So fricking much. And then, in the end, they killed him. And it fucking hurt. Before I watched the episode in which it happens, I got spoilered. I didn't know exactly how or why it would happen, but just that it would. And with this knowledge, before watching the actual episode, I just kept repeating to myself that it would make me so angry, that his death would have no point, that after all he's been through, it was just cruel to deny him his happy ending. Then it happened and it still hurt and I still am angry about it, even if I understand that there was a point. Duke's journey consisted of fighting his dark destiny. He was made to kill everyone, to have no choice in it, but in the end, he made the choice to die to save everyone. He did accomplish in beating his destiny. His character's journey was made well. But it still makes me so angry because he could have done all this without having to die. Yes, maybe him not dying wouldn't have made a so beautiful and tragic end, but right now I hurt so much that I don't care. He still deserved to live. To have his happy ending. The only thing that can console me right now is thinking that his apparition in the last episode means that he's not really gone and in my mind I can just imagine that one day he will return and get all the good that he deserves.

“Just tell me the truth, just tell me what happened. I don’t care, I’m not going to let him hurt you anymore. Listen to me, I’m in love with you. If you stay I promise there’s no safer place in the world than with me. You don’t have to be scared… I love you— please stay.”

i’m early in season 3 of Haven and first of all i really didn’t expect what i thought was your run of the mill 2010’s supernatural cop show to be so good and secondly I did not expect it to be fucking with the normal format so well

spoilers under cut

like obviously I could be wrong but it seems they are leading to Nate being the “bad guy” and Duke the good guy, with Nate being basically radicalised and Duke choosing not to follow in his dads footsteps, it seems they are leading towards a complete role reversal from them at the beginning of the show. like I went into it thinking like ugh ok main woman has to choose between two guys wow never seen that before and now i’m like wait wait this is actually really interesting. I might be wrong ! but the shit they are making Nate do, I fucking hate his guts now so they better go in the direction i think they are

I also really like the way the central mystery is weaved in I usually give up when shows drop the case of the week format for overarching plots but Haven has a central mystery and case of the week in equal parts and links them together so well it keeps you absolutely hooked!

I also like that they very readily kill off characters and have characters leave after a few eps it means like your never sure who’s gonna stick around and most deaths/departures feel emotional and earned, it’s taken me a while to realise like if they introduce someone new after a few eps they will probably leave/die but the first few times they did it I was very surprised!

Anyway good show very surprised I thought it would be good background noise and now i’m invested, and coming from someone who is not a shipper. Audrey better fucking choose Duke

I love binging only seasons 1, 2, 4, and 5 of a series.

At least season 3 exists somewhere. It's just, for some bizarre reason, the only one I have to pay for?
