I still really like Haven. I hope it gets renewed.
No. And yes. It's always sudden.

I began to like Haven more and more as this season progressed. I wasn't so sure for a while. Now, it's appointment tv for me.
I hope the cooler in the Herald office means that Nicholas Campbell can come back, but not in a wrong way.
It was a bit disturbing to see him walking in the graveyard as if he has had a stroke. His face isn't effected, so who knows, but I hope he's okay.

Because I'm in a guest house in France run by a British couple, accompanied by fellow geeks, I just saw the Doctor Who finale.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, I did a quick Wiki check, and Nathan's adopted.
So how do Troubles work in families? Is it the same trouble that gets passed down? I mean, if your trouble is that you resurrect people by digging them up or burying them, surely just get your family out of the funeral business? Or could his daughter have been born with anything?

I don't think it's a one for one with troubles, but I don't know for sure. For some reason, I think they are random.
eta: I take that back! Dwight said that his father knew of his affliction, but didn't tell him what it was. This is not definitive, of course, but it suggests a possible link from one trouble to another.
I also get the feeling that not every troubled person knows that they are triggered by fear. You'd think that, if they knew, they'd turn Haven into Bubblewrapville.
Does anyone have any speculation about what happens when Duke absorbs people's blood? He doesn't think he's troubled. Is he?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
ita, I totally agree.
I would immediately get out of the funeral business AND I would not dig. at all.
The digging part would be HARD (eyeroll) but I think I could manage not digging again ever.

I think that the fact that Duke can absorb people's blood suggests that he is troubled.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
yes. his father said as much: his trouble is that he can relieve others of theirs down the family line.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
What LeN said.
The ghosts (Tamoh and Rev) kept telling Duke that he was the one that could stop all of it, implying that he inherited Tamoh's curse of stopping the trouble from being inherited in other people by killing a troubled one. Kind of like the old legend of curing werewolves by killing the wolf that bit them.
That's why Duke had to kill grave digger boy so his baby wouldn't be born with it.
But then why did Duke's eyes turn blue? Thank God, they didn't stay that way. He could have more than one curse?
I need another season because I'm enjoying it to much for it to end.

yes. his father said as much: his trouble is that he can relieve others of theirs down the family line.
But, I thought that was just by way of killing off the genetic line...which a non-troubled person could do with all the weapons found in that silver box.
It seemed to me that Crocker the elder was saying that the curse was the calling.
At first, I assumed that the blood absorbing thing was based on the weapon, but I guess that wasn't the case in the forest with grave digging guy.
I'm confused and I miss Dwight.
Another season would be terrific.
