Too bad Nick, the ostensible main character, has no personality whatsoever.<\/li>\n<li>Haven. This show just keeps getting weirder. It started off as a Trouble-of-the-week show for the first season, but, ever since we&#8217;ve dug more and more into Audrey&#8217;s reincarnations and their ties to Haven, the loopiness has become loopier, with time travel, waystations between worlds and secret cabals pitted against each other for the control of Haven. I get the sense that the showrunners didn&#8217;t expect more than one or two seasons, so now they&#8217;re plotting themselves up a storm. I fear they might write themselves into some ridiculous corner, but so far everything is hanging together just enough to be convincing at a quick glance. I watch this just to see what the showrunners come up with next. I sure wish Audrey would develop some friendships with other women. If partners and family members from Duke&#8217;s past keep materializing, why can&#8217;t some women show up who were friends with Audrey&#8217;s previous selves? They could advise her.<\/li>\n<li>Sleepy Hollow. It&#8217;s becoming just about as loopy as Haven.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><br type=\"_moz\" \/><br type=\"_moz\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: smaller;\">This entry was originally posted at <a href = \"http:\/\/modernwizard.dreamwidth.org\/1592730.html\">http:\/\/modernwizard.dreamwidth.org\/1592730.html<\/a>.
