Family Trees in Haven Only Have One Root

[december21st]

My thinky thoughts, such as they are, about Friday's episode of Haven, "Crush."

[Spoiler (click to open)]
Let me just put out there that I am really loving this season of Haven. I think they are outdoing themselves on the whole WTF front, with a really good blend of long-term story arc, Troubled of the Week, and enough Nathan/Audrey to make me swoon. If I were the

Maybe the Driscolls are very careful on who marries into their family/breeds with or if they do find out they've married into a family with troubles they send in a Crocker to fix it? If Simon was their last lackey, they would only have to had worry about the babies born in the last 27 years maybe inheriting a Trouble.

I do like the Driscoll brothers, they were easy on the eyes (very easy) and it didn't seem like they were completely brainwashed the Rev's rhetoric. Jack did mentioned something about the Crockers and Driscolls defending Haven but it I dunno, didn't seem like he was too committed to the family cause. He adjusted to the impossibility of him having a Trouble and being one of the damned pretty quickly. I hope they show up again.

But the point you bring up about family trees/lines is interesting. The Crockers and Driscolls vs the Glendowers, Hansens and Teagues with the Wuornos declaring Switzerland. I can't remember what side the Rasmussens were on.

Syfy love their car product placements, Eureka with the Subarus, Warehouse

It did seem as if the two families worked in unison (though I can't recall why, exactly, I think that. But somebody said something). And Jack did call for Duke awfully quickly. So the Driscoll family is always Trouble-free, and they work with the Crockers to clear other family lines?

I wonder if a Crocker can stop the Troubles of one of the originally cursed families (I'm thinking there were X number of families who were originally afflicted who have passed it down through the generations, but I don't remember anymore if that's based on canon or that "Forever Within My Numbered Days" fic on AO3/ff.net.) If it were that simple, you'd think that way back when some of the families would've had someone willing to die to stop future generations from being burdened with the family Trouble

But somebody said something)
Yeah. I think Jack said something like "The Driscolls and the Crockers have been fighting the Troubles together for generations."

I'm pretty sure the "originally cursed families" isn't canon. Especially since the journal Vince and Dave were reading from implied that the Troubles have been around a long time before white settlers moved into the area.

My favorite car product placement to date has to be in an episode of The Glades.

Jim: Hi Carlos. Are you driving your wife's car today?
Carlos: Yeah, mine's in the shop again. But her car has (feature 1), (feature 2), and (feature 3).
Jim: Why are you talking like a car commerical?
Carlos: Eh, it's a living.

Okay, yes, that line sounds familiar. Also: Reverend Driscoll and Simon Crocker.

Sometimes I confuse canon with fic. Oops. And I missed half of what they were saying about the journal, thanks to a certain cat who decided he wanted to come visit during that particular scene.

Ha! At least they weren't trying to disguise what they were doing!

Completely unrelated to this ep but it occurred to me this morning (when I am up early for a pre-work meeting): why did the skinwalker plant Duke's whistle in Audrey's apartment when she was kidnapped? What would have been Arla's purpose in doing that?

(Thinking process: I watched most of an interview with Emily Rose and Lucas Bryant last night. LB said after this season's finale he'd like to see Nathan have some sort of perspective shift. I started wondering about ep 13 and then reviewing what's happened in finales past.)

What would have been Arla's purpose in doing that?
I've been thinking about this off and on all day, and I've got nothing. Not even a bad theory.

Now I kinda want to find a reason and write a fic.

Silly writers and their unresolved storylines.
