TV Review: Season Premier's of Haven and Legend of Korra

 
Both episodes start with the caption: 6 months later and a lot can happen in six months.

In Haven everything has been turned upside down. Everything. Audrey isn’t Audrey, Duke and Nathan hug it out, Dwight is sheriff… frightened yet? It’s a good episode, though, a much better premier than last season’s, which while much anticipated, was rather dry and old. This season you can tell everything is going to be changing, not necessarily a one-case-an-episode thing. To me, at least, it appears as if, with Audrey being someone else, that the whole show will be going through a metamorphosis.

Answers have been promised this season and I think they will come through the two newest characters to join the show: William (a.k.a. the guy from Eureka) and Jennifer. Also, did you know Duke has a brother?

I guess we’ll have to see where this goes. One thing I love about the show is just the general mystery that surrounds it in a kind of haze and that feeling looks like it will continue.

The premiere gets 4 stars from me, but I’m hoping this will be a five star season.

In Legend of Korra six months means a lot more. Change has happened in Republic City, so much so that it seems they may have peace. The whole two episodes take place in the Southern Water Tribe. It wasn’t bad, not at all, and I’m stoked for the rest of the season.

But.

I don’t like that it’s not taking place in Republic City. I really, really liked that setting for season one and now I feel like they’re taking it in another direction. Not a bad direction, but I don’t feel like everything in RC is wrapped up.

Anyways, there are several new characters (including a pair or very creepy twins) and I can tell this season will be focused a great deal on family, for everyone. Also, we get to meet… THE FIRST AVATAR sometime this season. Very, very exciting.

The premiere gets 4 stars also because I wasn’t really blown out of the water by it.
