I'll give it a go but I feel like I'll be feeling De Ja Vu all over again I doubt it'll feel like De Ja Vu. The show will be different enough from the original series and will have different story lines. |

The more I watch the trailer tbh the more I loathe it, I am still open to giving this a chance, and it might get good, but I had a horrible realization that everything in that trailer is from just one episode, ONE EPISODE, and they try to cram in all that?! This is one of my hold-ups, too. it's all from ONE episode. THE FIRST EPISODE. They learn about their mother's death. They have a sister (or one has sisters). They learn they're magic. They seem to be OK with the sisters thing. And half-ass the corniness of being OK with being witches. They've got the Whitelighter. This is like cramming the entirety of S1 of Charmed into the first episode of Reboot mess. |

It's complete and utter trash. I'll say it. I don't care. The crew behind the reboot doesn't care about anything, the fans, nothing. It's like they're only doing this for laughs, giggles, and to basically say, "Oh, you wanted a Charmed reunion, continuation, or a spin off? Or just for the show to be left alone? Well then just wait twenty years after our show ends and we'll give you ALL those things!  " They're just slapping all the Classic Charmed fans in the faces, gathering up their own Charmed fans, and then this will all happen 40 years after Classic Charmed. It's going to be a sad, twisted reality with this bull crap. |

I also have fears that they will make the witches too powerful too quickly, I don't know if anyone watches the CW superhero shows but they all have this problem of making the characters OP in a very short space of time, so the villains just don't seem threatening anymore. I'm worried that by the end of season one the middle sister will be able to blow things up and the oldest will be astral projecting.

No you need more than that in my opinion to flush everything out like they did classic Charmed season 1 in order to keep viewers interested and tune in week after week otherwise people who've never seen Charmed before may get confused what's going on and not be able to process things because everything's everything happening too quickly.

They seem to be OK with the sisters thing. And half-ass the corniness of being OK with being witches. They've got the Whitelighter. This is like cramming the entirety of S1 of Charmed into the first episode of Reboot mess. CW's behavior toward Charmed reminds me of WB's behavior toward the DC fans. Which I suppose would make sense since WB owns 50 percent of CW. The not listening to fans, arrogantly believing they knew what was best for the fans and general audience, the greed which led to sacrificing character development for quick money by cramming what should've been eight movies into one team-up Justice League movie. And don't get me started on the CGI removal of Superman's mustache. But Charmed fans seem to have it worst than worst itself because in addition to the CW's WB like behavior, even the cast and creators of the reboot just don't care about anything the fans have to say. Besides the cramming so many seasons into one episode, there's another problematic thing. If this is supposed to be a Charmed reboot, why are these girls rumored to be related to Melinda Warren? Why not some other named witch ancestor? It makes me believe Halliwells and the next generation of Halliwells exist out there. And if they do, how does the explanation of these new girls suddenly being Charmed happen? A demon killing off Piper, Phoebe and Paige in a tragic accident off-screen? Just like Prue?  If they don't really care about the fans so it wouldn't surprise me if the remaining Halliwell sisters are brutally murdered and their souls also destroyed off-screen that they could never ever return. The other possibility is honoring Christy by calling out the Halliwells and their off-springs the most selfish and dangerous people on the face of the Earth and threat to the past, present and future. That's why these new sisters are now the Charmed Ones. But how are they going to explain where the hell these girls were in season 6 dark future when Wyatt took over? Why did Chris have to save the day? |

I have a feeling they are going to explain it along the lines of, "Melinda didn't realise there would be THREE sets of sisters. One in each generation!" So the Veras will be another branch of the Warrens - and then in 20 years time they came bring along the third set if they really want to milk it. Talking about the girls in the reboot acting young - how old are Macy and Mel actually supposed to be? They do seem to have been skewed younger than the Halliwells, but surely they can't have made 34-year-old Melonie Diaz's character 10 years younger than her? If Maggie is 18, then is Mel closer to Macy's age (late 20s/early 30s). Let's hope they age well if they want an 8+ season show this time around because she ain't gonna look 34 at 44  |

This is like cramming the entirety of S1 of Charmed into the first episode of Reboot mess. I agree, it's nothing like the fun of slowly building up all the mysteries. But perhaps, they fear the show will lose fan and new fan interest fast and need to get to the point quickly. But I know most people these days complain so often about filler episodes and just want the story to get going quick and grow bored without answers. But still, to put it all into your pilot episode dears, I don't like that. How can they accept their long lost sister by pilots end so quickly? They barely know her, and all three are new to being witches. It may not be believable. You also have to introduce a whitelighter, and three other supporting characters, who I hope all play a very minor role, then you got meeting the mother killing her and then a time jump. This pilot would need at least a 2-parter or a Classic Charmed 2-hour premiere style opener to do it somewhat properly. 42 minutes isn't going to cut it dears. |

A lot of folks who have watched the screeners said that it's better than what the trailer shows.

i hope they dont destroy the legacy of the power of three that the Halliwell sisters worked so hard to build.From the trailer the lines were kinda cheesy and there acting wasn't up to par...Im really never this critical but i guess since this is about my favorite show of all time im very on edge.
also the other thing that i didnt like was the new charmed crew taking shots at our girls saying that theyre to old to come back for their roles like who do they think they are
Charmed will only be actually charmed if it has the original cast
ill watch a few episodes to see what it offers and then if it really is as bad as the trailer then ill stop watching it all together
i will always stand by my Halliwells
they better step their game up and give respect to the original in due time or they will flop...

It's not the first time I read these things and honestly I don't like gossip. Nobody involved in reboot has ever said that the actresses of the original cast are too old to resume their roles. It was a fan on instagram to say that because he was trying to defend the reboot and Melonie Diaz (aka Mel Vera) put a like on the comment. She pointed out that she didn't mean to offend the original actresses but she was just thanking the fan for the kind word about her and her colleagues. And I think it's reasonable. In the same way, Brad Silberling has never offended Holly. He only said that if there wasn't a revival there will be a reason and perhaps the original actresses know more than what they say. Holly then got mad and inundated Brad with insults. If you want to attack the reboot, do it AFTER seeing the pilot and without believing all the lies that go on the internet. Do you really think that producers and reboot actors would be so stupid to insult the original actresses, risking to lose fans? Come on, let's be a little more realistic! |

Also asked a guy who've watched it but never seen the original. He said the acting is not as bad as what the trailer made it seem. He said he'll be back to watch the second episode.

It doesn't matter if it flops it will get renewed. Look at Dynasty, another Spelling show and CBS produced yet got renewed despite the horrible ratings. I've seen All American trailer and liked it. Despite that, it is the one that is likely to get axed among the Fall CW newbies. |

So the Veras will be another branch of the Warrens - and then in 20 years time they came bring along the third set if they really want to milk it. Perhaps they'll say that Melinda had THREE daughters and each line eventually led to a set of Charmed Witches - BUT they're only A set of Charmed Ones, meaning witches with Charmed powers, they're not THE Charmed Ones - the most powerful witches ever known because they're descended from Melinda's oldest daughter, Prudence, and the ones Melinda foresaw (of course, that would only be the first set...the second set was the first set that wasn't the most powerful, hence why they had to have help from the matriarchs to vanquish the Source). If the Veras aren't s powerful as the originals, they're more vulnerable, meaning more drama and no need for the next biggest, baddest Big Bad (YAWN!) and maybe more protecting innocents. Then we can imagine the Halliwell and Matthews kids starting to have their kids in California and deciding to bind all of their kids' powers so they could have normal lives and are now simply witches, the reason the powers went to descendants of one of Melinda's other daughters. That would be the best way to honor Classic Charmed. |

Interesting, I hope this is the case. Again only seeing parts it is hard to judge. But I always find they put the best bits in the trailer to hook people. So I hope he's right, and it does turn out to be decent. But then maybe CW just is bad at producing half-decent trailers. I remember seeing Youtube videos, and remembering just how bad they were at promoting Classic Charmed's later seasons. So we'll see. |

Let's hope they age well if they want an 8+ season show this time around because she ain't gonna look 34 at 44 There’s an option for time-jumping so that the actresses could finally act their own age. Everything in the pilot already seemed to have been rushed according to the trailer. So why not perform a time jump mid-season or next season. |

But it seems like they want them to be these ages. They want the college experience. I doubt we'll have a time jump more than summer away.

I doubt they will time-jump. They wouldn't go to all the trouble of making the college campus important since so many characters are set here.
So I think we're stuck with the college campus for almost half the run. The youngest sister being 18 means we're definitely having at least one sister here for at least four or five seasons. Also Macy and Harry both work on the campus, so I think they want the series all based on it.
