Thought on Burned

WARNING: This post contains spoilers

Why was it called Burned? Because all the bodies were burned? Probably.

I love passive Nathan. Sweet, polite, calmed, you-are-my-exact-opposite Nathan (well, I’m all except calm and who wouldn’t want a Nathan?). But aggressive, passionate, I-will-kick-your-ass-if-you-don’t-tell-me-what-you-know Nathan, rocks it. And makes my heart dance.

The Nathan/Audrey dynamic was amazing. Still a little tense, but at least I didn’t hear Nathan tell Audrey “check in” again. That was a relief. Audrey didn’t push Nathan away to work with Duke. Those looks that speak thousands of words were exciting. I was very happy to hear Audrey say that she knew Nathan was trying to help her. Finally. And having Nathan and Audrey talking about solving her situation as a team gave me hope.

I’m saving a special mention to Duke. Eric Balfour has something that makes him so believable, so honest when he performs and his scenes with Ginger were some of the best. What a way to get a little girl to cooperate. Talk about inverse psychology (if that exist). And to have him use some of his own lines as a con man was ingenious. 

Jordan McKee… so she had her own agenda! And The Guard gave us more secrets. They protect the Troubled but they take whoever harms them along the way. Looks like they don’t care. Funny that, in the end, Jordan and Nathan were using each other. Nathan to find answers about Audrey’s upcoming disappearance and Jordan to get rid of Audrey for two reasons: the end of the Troubles and keep Nathan to herself. The scene in the jail cell was incredible. Most of us knew that Jordan and Nathan didn’t have anything serious and Nathan confirmed it: “There is no us” just as Audrey was standing at the door. I wonder if she also heard Jordan say the previous line. 

So Tommy was dead!!! Should’ve seen it coming. Honestly, I didn’t expect it. I knew he was a bad guy, I mean, he put a dead body in the trunk of his car after all and then I thought he was at least helping the BGK. So, who is the skinwalker then? Could it be another Troubled person? I’m sure it’s someone who has been around for ages. Is he making a replica of Sarah to then use it? For what purpose? Just please don’t let one of the regular characters turn out to be the skinwalker since the beginning of the season. That’ll be sort of… Dallas maybe? ;)

Something doesn’t make sense though. He saw Grady’s skin in one of the tanks. When was the skinwalker using his skin? When he wasn’t “being” Tommy maybe? Or maybe he never used his skin.

Tiffany Vogt from the TVWatchtower reassured me a while ago that the show would go on to a Season 4. It came true. She also told me that I would love Kate Kelton’s character. Now, I love Kate Kelton (and she takes the time to reply my tweets too!) but if this is the end of Jordan McKee then I can’t find my love for her anywhere. Unless, she comes back… and makes some sort of sacrifice.

Another special mention: Kiara Glasco, who played Ginger, is to be honest, the best performance by a young girl I’ve seen it a while. And believe me, I’ve seen thousands of films. Her presence on screen, the way she said her lines, her face expressions of anguish and happiness, make her future in acting very promising. If I were a director, I’d cast her based on her performance on this episode. 

I couldn’t help noticing something in next episode’s promo. Nolan North’s character says “I don’t remember anything”. In the gag reel, Audrey, wearing the same clothes as in the promo, says the exact same thing to Nathan while being at her apartment. Is it related? Is it the same episode? What doesn’t she remember? I just hope she wasn’t victim from the BGK again… and that the scene makes it to the final cut. Yes, because I’m a Naudrey fan.

So what the heck is in the barn? And who is behind all this? Everybody in the country who is troubled goes to Haven for support? The Troubles disappear when Audrey does but, how do the Troubles come back? If we can keep the show away from a Lost plot and more close to an X-files kind of thing, I’ll love them more.

The man who held Audrey captive told her that someone else loved the Colorado Kid. Who was that person? His father maybe? Also, I have my doubts about the Colorado Kid's father being revealed this season...

Your thoughts are next. And I’d love to read them.
