Dear Friends at Syfy, As a huge fan of your original scripted TV show Haven, I am writing to ask you to renew the show for a fifth season. I love mystery and the supernatural, and I love watching Haven give us more puzzles and more weird Troubles every week. Not to mention all the new surprises and developments in the ongoing mystery of how the Troubles came to Haven and what Audrey has to do with it all. Especially with the addition of William in the fourth season, and everything that he's revealed about Audrey and everything that he's done to Haven. It's thrilling, and I can't wait to find out what happens next! I believe that the combination of nuanced characters who grow and change and take action within the show, and a rich world full of mysteries both ancient and new, is what makes Haven such an amazing show. The balance between the two aspects is a difficult one for any show to strike, and I feel Haven accomplishes it with a delicacy and ease seen on few, if any, other shows currently airing. I realize this doesn't sound like anything a normal fanperson writes, like you might see on Tumblr or Twitter, but I'm trying to put my love for this show into more normal words. If you look on the web you'll find that Haven has a strong, vocal fanbase that is only getting stronger as the mystery continues. Please renew it for a fifth season so that we can continue discovering the secrets of this supernatural small town. Thank you, .

Love in the Time of the Troubles: the Cultural Politics of Tragic Form in Northern Irish Cinema*1)
문학과 영상 2018 봄 Love in the Time of the Troubles: The Cultural Politics of Tragic Form in Northern Irish Cinema*1) Lee, Hyungseob / Hanyang University In her introduction to the Oxford edition of Romeo and Juliet, Jill L. Levenson offers three “angles” from which to view the perennially popular play. At one level, it is a play that “dramatize[s] a love-story that transcends time and place”; at another, modern psychology has enabled us to see “Shakespeare trac[ing] paradigm of adolescent behavior”; yet at another level, it is “a tragedy [that] enacts a love-story shaped by the social and literary conventions of late sixteenth-century * This work was supported by the National Research Foundation of Korea Grant funded by the Korean Government [NRF-2008-361-A00005]. Love in the Time of the Troubles / Lee, Hyungseob 125 England” (1). Philosophy, history and psychology vie one another for the interpretive prerogative. Shakespeare’s play is a universal paean of love in tragic form, a thwarted Bildungsdrama or an ingenious representation of, and response to, political situations of its own time thinly disguised as a youthful romance. Romeo and Juliet can endure all these interpretations and more, we are led to believe. What goes often unnoticed or submerged in the overflow of the two young lovers’ concurrent romantic self-aggrandizement and self-effacement is the fact that violence pervades the whole play. Swordsmen, militia, gangsters, medieval versions of rednecks and bitniks—whatever you call them, they are the ones who people the city of Verona, and intimations of violence are everywhere.

The Troubled Television Program Haven Season 2 Syfy Channel
The Troubled Television Program By Fearless Young Orphan Haven Season 2 SyFy Channel TV Series WELL THANK GOODNESS the SyFy channel finally fixed all those terrible problems that Haven was having in the first season. If you’ll recall, last year I did a scathing review of that trash heap of a show and listed all the reasons why it just sucked so bad that it made Baby Jesus cry. Yes, it turns out that humorous, thoughtful and poignant television programs with fleshed-out characters and charm to spare must make Baby Jesus cry, so the creators of Haven quickly rethought their creative process to change all that, producing instead a dull, glum cliché of every X-Files wannabe since 1993, beating the life and charm out of all its characters until we have a show that makes Baby Jesus rethink his television choices altogether. I’ve had a few shows break my heart, and it’s never easy. The X-Files was one such show; SyFy’s reboot of Battlestar Gallactica was another. Man, that puppy crashed like the ever-lovin’ Hindenburg. If you’d like to hear a case study of my reality-based problems, I’d be happy to dish, but you’ll have to email me because I won’t take the time here. Haven was not as beloved to me as those two shows. But it was a real pleasure back in Season 1, and I was truly looking forward to Season 2. Staring Season 2 sent up a lot of red flags, though. For a couple episodes, it seemed that the show was having trouble finding its footing.

The Comic Effect: Humor and the Construction of National Identity in Northern Ireland
The Comic Effect: Humor and the Construction of National Identity in Northern Ireland Chloe Prendergast Yale University Advisor: Professor Bonnie Weir May 2020 Senior essay submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of the Bachelor of Arts in Political Science Abstract National identity behaves as a binding agent between people with massive impacts on the organization of the modern world. It is built and maintained through many processes that are institutional, linguistic, banal, and everyday. In Northern Ireland, a small country in the British Isles, national identity represents a major point of cleavage between Irish, British, and Northern Irish identities. This cleavage has manifested in large scale violence. The Troubles, a conflict between Irish Nationalist paramilitaries, British Loyalist paramilitaries, and British institutions such as the army and police, took place between 1968 and 1998. This violence, which resulted in over 3,000 deaths and 45,000 injuries, demonstrates the deeply held importance of national identity in the country. Divisions between identities remain evident in neighborhood and regional segregation as well as educational separation. This paper explores the impact of humor on the construction and maintenance of competing and uniting national identities in Northern Ireland. It examines the effect of television, live comedy, and social laughter, highlighting the roles of institutional, linguistic, banal, and everyday sites that intersect with humor theory, identity theory, and the methods of national identity construction. These sites and mediums interact in complex ways that determine the capacities of various national identity constructions. These include both the structural status quo identities: British and Northern Irish, and the opposition identity: Irish.
