Haven – Season 5

Season 5 of Haven starts on SyFy Thursday Sept 11, at 8/7c, and in Canada on Showcase it premieres a week later, Thursday, September 18 at 9pm ET/PT.

Haven, based on the novella, The Colorado Kid, from author Stephen King, follows former FBI agent Audrey Parker, who becomes a cop in the small town of Haven, Maine, and soon discovers the town’s many secrets – which also hold the key to unlocking the mysteries of her lost past.

For those who have been watching Haven since it originally came on the air in July of 2010 this is a show that has covered a lot of story points, with characters who have grown and evolved in countless ways, some for the better… some… well… true to life, not everyone always makes the right or best choice.

If you have not yet had a chance to watch all of Season 4, you still have a few days, and as so often happens in the modern world, fear not if you failed to record an episode or two, the show is available on DVD as of Sept 8, 2014. Season 4 was packed with revelations and turning points, if you watched early on and wanted to learn about Audrey, Season 4 is a great season to watch.

Season 4 left viewers with questions galore. Central character Audrey Parker (Emily Rose) has spent years trying to figure out who she is and why she can not remember her past, only to be presented with a past her friends may not like. Nathan Wuornos (Lucas Bryant) has been by her side through so much already, how much more can he stand by her through?

The trailer below is from the end of Season 4… might contain spoilers if you haven’t watched the last half of Season 4!!

As Season 4 ended major changes had taken place, Duke (Eric Balfour) and his girlfriend Jennifer (Emma Lahana) were both in peril, we had discovered Vince (Richard Donat) and Dave (John Dunsworth) were a lot more complex than we ever could have imagined when Audrey first met them in Season 1, and Season 5 might well contain an entirely new set of troubles, which is saying a lot for a town that considers *the Troubles* something to gloss over and turn a blind eye to on an almost everyday basis.

For those who have watched all of season 4, and want a little temptation of what season 5 holds, here is a trailer from SyFy:

I thought Season 3 had left us shaken up… Haven had just been hit by a major meteor strike, with damage all over town, and Audrey (Emily Rose) and Duke (Eric Balfour) had vanished into thin air (the Barn) leaving an injured Nathan (Lucas Bryant) marooned in Haven. Season 4 of Haven picked up six months after the events of Season 3 and kept audiences guessing for much of the 13 episode season, which included William (Colin Ferguson of Eureka), a handsome mysterious stranger, whose secret agenda lead him to Audrey (Emily Rose), and thus Haven.

Dwight (Adam Copeland)

So what could have us sitting even further out on the edge of our seats? Word that Season 5 was greenlit not for 13 episodes like Season 4 — but 26, with 13 slotted to air in 2014, and 13 more in 2015!

Haven is a great show, in large part because of the people who fill the town of Haven. Many we only see once, or maybe just twice, but some, like Dwight (Adam Copeland) come in briefly, and somehow, end up becoming an ever increasing part of the show until you look back and try and remember what the show was like before he was a part of it, and realize you can not actually recall when he joined the cast, because he simply, gradually, moved into town.

SyFy Channel’s Haven page has a series of photo galleries to walk you through the key events of each season and give a refresher on all you need to know. Feel like it’s been a while since you watched Season 4 — or Season 1 for that matter? Surf over to SyFy Channel, and check out their starter kit(s).

2014 – Beyond the Convention Center in San Diego

With each passing year of San Diego’s Comic Con International, the convention which once comfortably shared the current convention center with other conventions, now even with the convention center expanded to twice the size it once was, the convention over flows into many surrounding hotels and venues.

This year, the Omni Hotel will house a playback room, for overflow crowds who were unable to make it into some of the most anticipated panels. Gotham City will be recreated, in miniature, between the convention center and the Hilton Bayfront Hotel and fans will be able to zip-line through it (130 feet long, and 30 feet off the ground!)

The parking lot beside Petco Park has for the past several years been home to a little village of fun to stop by experiences. Last year Falling Skies and Gravity, with a 3D trailer available for viewing, were highlights.

Over on 2nd Street (across the Trolley Tracks from the Marriott, roughly) will be the Vikings of History Channel, returning for a second year, and a third season. Take some time to go get made up as a Viking, and maybe even walk away with a souvenir from your time in the past.

Pop-up stores are a Comic-Con phenomenon that can be hard to explain to someone who has never attended a convention of this sort, but if you see one, take a moment to go in — or stand in line. You may get green screened into a scene from your favorite movie, or immersed in one of the key locations from a movie, you may find yourself in an art gallery, or product show room (often with food and drink available) ala last years appearance by Samsung Galaxy — which hosted a Veronica Mars party during Comic-Con. You might also find yourself standing next to someone far more interesting than you ever imagined, like one of the stars of one of your favorite TV shows.

Throughout the gaslamp district, which across the Trolley Tracks and up 5th street, from the Convention Center you will find dozens, perhaps hundreds of food options, and tens of thousands of hungry convention goers. Fortunately not everyone eats on the same schedule, as mealtimes bend around panel times.

In previous years Syfy has re-branded the restaurant in the Hard Rock hotel based on one or more of the SyFy shows. During the days of the tv show Eureka the restaurant was Cafe Diem (from the show), complete with the barstools fans recognized from countless scenes. This year Tin Fish is anticipated to have a Blacklist tie-in.

This re-branding can be seen in lots of different places and ways. From the elevators in nearby hotels, to the exteriors of many buildings with facades – sometimes changing within a day based on the event going on, all the way out to the airport this year, which will feature TNTs Legends.

The skyline of San Diego visibly changes during Comic-Con, banners that decorate the sides of hotels and buildings can be seen from Cabrillo National Monument across the bay, which is several miles away as the crow flies.
