Only in Haven can there be a trouble that involves a camera
that does not record the smiles of its victims, but their last moment as
a corporeal entity. In other words, the last impression the objects in
the lens leave is a Peter Pan type shadow or, as Nathan, Audrey, Duke
and Mara believe, a nuclear blast ashprint. It turns out that all four
are wrong about what the shadow signifies although, Mara probably had a
pretty good idea, especially since she is the one who helps to solve the
riddle of where the trouble originated. While that may not be too much
of an imaginative stretch, she did, after all, pass out the original
troubles in Haven years ago, and it should be remembered that Mara has
been around for a long, long time.
Haven this week features one of the busier episodes in terms
of multiple plot threads and it even features a few excellent
references to Stephen King’s world of fiction. According to SyFy on
their Haven site, two characters are alluded to in the show, Dr. Reynolds is a nod to Susan Reynolds in King’s follow up book to The Shining,
Dr. Sleep, and the further adventures of Danny Torrence and character
number two is Reginald “Pop” Merrill. The owner/operator of Castle
Rock’s The Emporium Galorium is a fan favorite and the writer has
brought Merrill, “out of retirement” so to speak several times, one of
these times is in the short story that this episode of Haven uses as a plot device.
