Title: Theme revolving around The Haven tv show
Post by: Sammie - Inactive on July 25, 2011, 04:01:40 AM
Not sure how many of you have watched this show on the SyFy channel,  but I really like it and they have already had one shape shifter, Chameleon, on it.

I know I have had more than one fantasy of being FBI agent Audrey Parker (as played by Emily Rose).

For those not familiar with the show it revolves around a community in Maine (it is, after all, based on Stephen King's - The Colorado Kid) where many people exhibit strange power/abilities, which are locally called the Troubles.

So, are you 'troubled'?  What power do you have?

Thoughts?

Hmm. Not sure how well this'd work- remember the Whedon contest? Just like that, this is very specific.

However, I think it can work nicely if, instead of being about this specific TV show, it's about a TV show about the Haven. Y'know, our haven I mean, not the TV show one.

Just got addicted to this show.  In fact I used Emily Rose's picture as my latest character in an RPG on here

I don't know much about these shows, but when I read this suggestion I was thinking of the "WizTV" stories I read on fictionmania ...

So "The Haven TV show" where the cap has to contain a game that makes men into women .... with all kinds of outcomes. Does that make sense?

It makes sense, but it would be better to invent a new tv show for such a purpose, rather than use an existing show.

Here's a more general idea that might work... the Haven NETWORK. Eh? Eh?

Nice idea :) It is the home of everybody's favorite cooking show Kara's Kitchen and soon to be the only place to watch the new show from Elly  [rotfl]

With the Haven Network, each cap is about a different show that airs (or aired) on the Network... sitcoms, dramas, reality shows, game shows, viewer call-in shows, news shows... I mean, the possibilities are endless. :)

That sounds like a round idea :) Nice ...

Something similar would fall into Brit TV Series called Misfits ;D

I love the misfits.

In case anyone wants to see this show, its streaming on hulu.  New (for US anyway) episodes added monday, and they just got through the short first season.  Go watch if you're interested.


Though I actually sort of see the show closer to Eureka.  Cops investigating and fixing strange goings on in a small town.

In fact Eureka's tag line works for either show.  Small town, Big problems.

Misfits is an awesome show, such quality writing. Can't wait for the third season in a few months.

Not seen Haven but it would be a great idea to have a contest for a RH TV channel :)

Now you say that and when I like the show ^_^

I wish there would be a little more explanation and also Nathan is a big jerk and Simon is creepy
For the others I can perfectly resonate with their beliefs :D

I don't think there will ever be a proper explanation for what happens. It was just a storm that gives them powers and the drama is how they cope with it. The storm was just a device and I expect thats all the mythology we will get. Personally I'm fine with that. Nathan and Simon do begin to grow on you in the second season though.

I have watched the two seasons and today discovered that Nathan won't appear in the third...He will appear in a short movie film in their website and he will end replaced by a character named Ruby

So I must say that Nathan didn't grow at all in me and so I'm satisfied for getting this character out for a time ^_^

And "superhoodie" I must say is a funny character, not telling over here who he is for the people who haven't watched the series if not it would be a spoiler ;)

Actually, the new character's name is Rudy. Not much is really known about him at the moment.

Nathan is thought by many to be the funniest characters of the bunch plus the fact thgat he's immortal means that he's the annoying guy that you just can't get away from. It's a shame that he's not getting a proper leaving episode though, just a short internet film.

My mistake about the name ^_^ I typed that fast I know his name...

Well at the start he don't know about that fact but after he knows about it, he becomes the super brat!
