That's the first time since Stargate Atlantis got canceled.
I'm not sure I like them doing yet another AU season on Eureka. It's too hard to keep track of what's really happened and what hasn't and who knew what already. I also don't know how invested to get in what's happening now, because either the original timeline will be restored, or they'll just do another AU.
Was that a new actor playing Kevin? I can't tell if he looked different because I haven't seen him in 2 years (kids grow up so fast ::sniff::), or if it's because it's a different actor. If it's a different actor, I approve. The last one appeared by permission of the National Forestry Commission.
I was not expecting to like Haven, because I've never liked anything Stephen King-related. However, Haven seems to have more in common with The X-Files, what with the main character being an FBI agent who's open to extreme possibilities and a supernatural connection to the cases she investigates. I really liked the episode, though, and I liked most of the characters, which perversely worries me. Usually when I really like a show pilot, the show itself turns out to be crap. I hope that's not the case here. I'm already craving fic.

He doesn't, but he's one of the few people that, it's not high tolerance, rather his nerves don't register anything until it's super serious. Small cuts, burns, etc go unfelt. If he gets badly burned, he'll feel it, if he gets an ear infection, it takes it getting *severely* infected before he registers it, and so on. So with him, by the time he tells us something hurts, it's serious. :(
Anyway, the condition is completely life-threatening and while I'm sure the show won't handle it perfectly, it opens so many possibilities, just like you mentioned. He can't feel it but it puts him at more risk *because* of it!!!
I want fic too LOL! I'm really excited to see how the show develops and since I loved the X-Files so much, I'm more than ready for a similar show/premise to be back on the air.
