I think I may give up on SyFy's Haven. We're 3 episodes behind. Is it worth sticking with at this point? - JaxSean Aug 9, 08:00 11

- I watched the first one but can't remember anything about it - amoxy Aug 9, 08:29

  - Hmm. OK thanks. There's not a lot else on that we're watching, so maybe we'll stick with it. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 9, 08:14

        the sidebars aren't safe for work at all. the script weirdly doesn't have a lot of "push it in... ok, now pull it back out... ok, back in..." in it. -- nm - TFox Aug 9, 08:13
