It's unfortunate that Tim's stories haven't picked up many Charmed fans (although myself, Jana/Chrisaholic, and a few others from the now-dead TCS site liked them), but the fact that he's picked up so many fans from outside of Charmed fandom more than makes up for it. I guess, since the focus of his series isn't on the Halliwells or any other major characters (like Cole), it never appealed that much to most Charmed fans, which is a shame. Tim has a good eye for continuity and detail.

Wow, they're actually going to bring up Paige's history with alcoholism?  Well, I'll have to give the comics props for that. It's about time someone remembered that little detail about her past. Indeed. This was the fear Barbas should've used against Paige in season 5. The whole Paige being claustrophobic made no sense. |

Oh, I doubt if any fan would ever like everything that's done in anything - the only way that would happen is if that particular fan did all of the writing themselves And trust me, even that doesn't guarantee it.

LOL, that is so very true! I remember I wrote a story where I made Phoebe my Phoebs, but the story happens during the an alternate version of "Charmed Again", and, of course, by then Phoebs was dead. I had more people at fanfiction.net say that that just wasn't Phoebe and it's one of the least-popular of my stories. |

Far be it for me to defend s5, but I actually don't think claustrophobia is that big a stretch for Paige, given that she lost both her parents in a car wreck. Basically they died enclosed in metal, being shaken about and crushed before it blew up.
I highly doubt the writers thought it through that much, but still.
Plus even without that, some phobias are more neurological, they don't always have very obvious outside causes.
Anyway, I'm really hoping next issue will be packed full of interesting stuff, because at the moment I'm not particularly excited by this arc to be honest. But since the summary for 10x10 claims that it will include "answers, revelations, and returns!" my fingers are crossed.

Yeah, that's true. So I do have some Charmed fans.
That's probably it, Betty. And we have to factor in that many Charmed fans came in during the Paige Era and would have no idea who R&H are (of course that didn't stop people who didn't know what Charmed was from enjoying my stories).

(Which means, of course, that everyone else will start misspelling it, too.  ) The official spelling of the name is KIRA, and that's what was in the "Witchness Protection" script, too. "Kyra" is nothing more than an (ugly) misspelling akin to "Laureighn" for "Lauren." (Which doesn't even look like it should be pronounced the same.) The comics made a pretty big goof, here. |

Shand should have done some research here. I mean how hard would it have been for him to check up on the spelling of this name |

I think also when you say it, Kira and Kyra would sound different in my ears, don't you think?  |

The Real Wikipedia refers to her as "Kira". Most books do likewise.
Was Shand too damned lazy to check it out.

I don't remember her name being spelled at all in the show. If it was spelled either way in something canon fair enough, but I haven't seen the script or anything...otherwise, I don't see the big fuss.
But really, pronouncing a 'y' like "ee" or "ih" when it's in the middle is hardly that unusual. Pyrrha, Nyla, Alycia, Alyssa or Lynette for example... none tend to be pronounced with an "eye" sound... or keeping it in the Charmed verse, the demon "Katya" pronounced "Kat-ee-a" not "Kat-eye-a"
Letters are pronounced in so many different ways around the world, we have multiple ways of pronouncing certain letters just within English, there's no real "right or wrong" way. Look at Beta the avatar, or Meta the Titan. Both may look like the first syllables should rhyme with "vet" or "get", but both are in fact pronounced with "ay" sounds. They're not wrong, just different.
I believe Kyra is Greek and almost always pronounced "ee". Whether that's canon for The Seer or not is questionable, but there's nothing incorrect about the name in and of itself.

The Book of Three, Volume Two (that Paul Ruditis co-wrote) spells it "Kira". Andrea Haag used to post transcripts at her site, they spelled it "Kira". The Real Wiki spells it "Kira".
It's Kira, not Kyra, case closed.

The Book of Three is an official companion guide, nothing more. Paul wrote it having no involvement in Charmed besides fanon novels at that point and fans have pointed out some errors in the books. I'm pretty sure you have called his works nothing but official fanon, so not sure why you're using his name as if his word is suddenly canon gospel now.
Who's Andrea Haag? Did she work on the scripts for any of Charisma's episodes? If not, her transcripts mean nothing to me.
Wikipedia is Wikipedia. Anyone can edit that, just like Charmed Wiki.
I'm not saying it's not Kira, but fact is I've yet to see proof either way. When I see a script or someone who actually works on the episodes picks a spelling, I'll happily accept it... till then, I don't particularly care how it's spelled, since I've not seen a canon source stating it irrefutably.

You said it yourself, it's an Official guide. I would take any info in it more serious than I would anywhere else.
Andrea Haag ran the CharmedOnes.com website, that the original Charmed Cafe was part of. While she didn't work on the show, she had insider information. Therefore, I would take whatever she said as accurate.
