Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

The NextGen episode is great, where they start with blowing up the Enterprise.

That's the one with the poker game that keeps getting played over and over, right? I loved that one.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ah, yes, another winner.

I'm pretty impressed that so many shows take the same premise and do good things with it. I think the Buffy episode is the weakest of them all, and it's not actually that weak.

So far the Haven one is interesting, by Haven standards.

Also, I love Nathan, and I want him to come home with me. I could make him feel, I could.

I recently watched part of a Harlequin (I think) MOTW that that actor was in with Colin. He (Nathan) looked about 18.

Oh! He was in Playing House! And that explains where Colin had known Joanne Kelly from. He swears her lips are natural, BTW.

Bottom lip looks natural, top lip, nsm.

Well, I'm certainly emotionally depleted and numb.

There was very little crying, but I might just be out of tears for the week. But, I dunno, it wasn't as bad as I had myself prepared for, I guess. I really can't imagine a more depressing plotline.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I loved the Haven episode from this week. I have a big weakness for Groundhog Day ep in general, and it was surprisingly well written and emotional for Haven. Nathan's death pretty much gutted me. Especially, "it doesn't hurt; the only thing I feel is you", which made me tear up because I am a GIANT SAP. Wow, did this ep ever hit my buttons hard.

It was interesting to see the usually self-possessed Audrey so undone by her failure. Understandable as her whole identity is wrapped around being the Troubled Whisperer. She has nothing and nobody outside this town, literally. She has the personal relationships she formed in town, but the time loops took that away from her, too, one by one. I really felt for Audrey here. Emily Rose did an excellent job.

Compassionately intolerant

I really enjoyed this week's Haven as well. Usually, I fast forward until I hit the Duke and/or Brother's moments, but this week, I watched every second closely.

That 'all I feel is you' nearly did me in. I wish Audrey wasn't quite so oblivious to Nathan's feelings.

I like what Jason Priestley is doing too.

Love Nathan finally telling Duke how to escape the mancrush. I had thought he was just being childish.
