Tabbyclaw July 4, 2014 Share July 4, 2014 When a series of electrocutions occur around town, Audrey and Nathan investigate who could be behind them - just as these events take the life of one of Haven's leaders. Link to comment
Elsinore July 4, 2014 Share July 4, 2014 Yay, introducing Chris Brody. You know looking back I can sort of redeem Chris because he did the snark really well. It's also the episode with the super popular previously unseen mayor. Did they elect a new one since he died? Or do they just let the Guard and the Aldermen (I think that's who get consulted on the Chief position) run things? Link to comment
Tabbyclaw July 18, 2014 Author Share July 18, 2014 This episode's title is up at the top of my "You go stand in the corner and think about what you did" list." Hi, Dwight! Yeah, theoretically other things happened in this episode, but the most important one by far is "Hi, Dwight!" Not least because most of the other things that happened in this episode were Chris Brody. I may hate Julia more, but God that's a close race. Chris only edges her out because it's so damn fun to watch Nathan go starry-eyed over him. Link to comment
Elsinore July 18, 2014 Share July 18, 2014 I thought Dwight cleaned up nicer post haircut. I also despise the starry eyed stuff. Blech. Link to comment
Carrie Ann July 19, 2014 Share July 19, 2014 I may hate Julia more, but God that's a close race. Chris only edges her out because it's so damn fun to watch Nathan go starry-eyed over him. At least Chris is supposed to suck. He's supposed to be a grouchy jerk, and maybe some viewers find that charming like Audrey apparently does, but I think the character and his story still work if you don't see him as likable. We have no reason to believe anyone, aside from Audrey, would like him at all if he weren't troubled, so I don't mind his presence because a) it's pretty brief, and b) I don't get the feeling the show thinks that I should like him, necessarily.

Tabbyclaw July 19, 2014 Author Share July 19, 2014 The show doesn't think I should like him, no, but it does seem to think I should find his bland hatred of everyone entertaining. At the very least it expects me to understand why Audrey is drawn to him, and the only real reason is "because the writers are leaning on the tired old 'women are attracted to assholes' trope."

Elsinore July 20, 2014 Share July 20, 2014 The writers loved Chris. Absolutely adored him. Will never fathom that either. I'm glad Jason Priestley remained behind the cameras after his stint in front of them. Link to comment
BlueJay81 July 21, 2014 Share July 21, 2014 (edited) I had a huge crush on Jason Priestly during his 90210 days. Didn't like Chris Brody much when I first watched the series, but on re watch he isn't so bad.At least the acting is good. Plus you always knew that the relationship was a plot device to get Nathan to realize and acknowledge his feelings for Audrey so it was never really going anywhere and the audience was kinda waiting for it to end I think the acting was good and even the chemistry with Audrey was good considering they had known each other for such a short time, I think as someone else stated somewhere he may have been better cast as William though. Agree about Dwight's hair, much prefer the shorter hair, same applies to Duke Edited July 21, 2014 by BlueJay81 Link to comment
