Well, Lilja hasn't exactly been shy about his feeling concerning UtD!

Episode 27 - Did Haven Open A Dead Zone Door?

The latest Stephen King news plus our review of the last 3 episodes from Season 4 of Haven.  

We ponder Haven's decision to end on a cliffhanger with no word of renewal yet and speculate whether Haven could potentially end up withering away as a series much like the last season of The Dead Zone did.

BevVincent

I hope it gets picked up for a fifth (and perhaps final) season. Give them a chance to wrap it up in style. I've been enjoying it. I liked the Dead Zone well enough, but I wasn't heartbroken when it wasn't picked up. It had a good long run.

Lou_Sytsma

26 episode shocker!  No excuse not to write the series to a satisfying conclusion with no unresolved threads now.

I really enjoyed The Dead Zone - loved how it expanded on the book - and felt gypped by how the show withered away and died so poorly with no resolution.

Ep. 28: Golden Years-Real Deal Or Fool's Gold?  is up.

As usual, we bring you the latest Stephen King News.

We also crack open the King Crate and dust off the curiousity that was the short lived 1991 TV series - Golden Years.

An original work, created for television, by Stephen King who penned most of the episodes. It concerns a 70 year old Harlan Williams - a nod to Harlan Ellison perhaps? - who begins to age backwards and glow green at times - among other oddities. Is Golden Years the real deal or Fool's Gold? Or a mix of both? Listen to what we have to say. (Note - this segment runs in full SPOILER mode so if you have not seen the series as of yet and plan to do so, you may want to save this for later listening.)
