Premonitions would've been really useful right now.

Is the actor playing Parker supposed to be English? Because if not the actor really cant hide it well.

So Harry moves out but still can cook breakfast? Why even move out? Hellquakes...interesting.

Macy already gets a promotion! Lucky girl. And of course they do budget cuts and SHE has to be one to fire Galvin...of course.

How cute, Maggie and Mel have the same exact telephone.

And TCO are finally getting to help their first innocent that isnt connected to them in a personal way. And the guy is a Sater...who is a god? Tartarus is a hell for magical beings, I like that mythology.

Well I guess The Elders are good for one thing, they can seal a paint can. But wow that shadow demon is lazy cgi/costume.

Still not here for Harry having to dish out the orders to the sisters, when will they take charge on someting like this on their own?

I hope Maggie does not get a job with anything to do with a PhD or college work. Go into photography or something. I wonder if Parkers dad is sexy demon guy.

Apparently they only have 1 type of phone in this town because Galvin has the SAME.EXACT.PHONE as Maggy/Mel lol.

I noticed that Mel is like the main sister who goes through the BoS.

So these gods are REALLY easy to attack. Are they powerless? Do they not have a spidey sense? Why give the chards to the underworld to beings that cant protect themselves? And of course the last shard is housed in the Vera-Manor...people who can actually defend it so thats good.

Mama V. was not only mother of the Charmed Ones, she was also a high ranking Elder, womens professor, and a possible Sentinel? How many occupations did this woman hold down?

Ugh yeah Macy was totes supposed to know that the key she found was a shard from Zeus that helped unlock the underworld Harry...

The sisters arent going full throttle trying to find lightning girl who stole the key to Tartarus?

So Parker isnt a druggie, he is sick so all of this to put Maggie through the ringer the entire episode and finally hook them up.

HA! I knew it was Parker! I knew he was related to sexy demon guy. Does this guy only give birth to figures? First son is a sand demon, 2nd son is a shadow team, water demon next?

*Sigh* so they are doing the Phoebe/Cole relationship all over again here - actually I'm not surprised, it is so typical of The CW to want that. I sure hope Maggie isn't a victim to bad writing after she goes through such an arc-like Phoebe did.

Whoever suggested and speculated how the new Cole story could play out a few months back, I sure hope you are right dear with how it plays out.

I am not watching this show but just an update on the ratings. Last night the Charmed reboot hit an all time low with 870k and a 0.2. Serves them right for disrespecting the original fans and cast at the beginning. I think the CW will regret giving the reboot 22 episodes.

Can't imagine how low the ratings will be next season because it's most likely being renewed due to being a CBS owned show on The CW.

It was Thanksgiving weekend, so that could be why it had a drop.

But still this isn't good at all, I haven't watched it at all. But a show pulling 0.2 in the target demo in the first seven episodes of a first season is very bad isn't it. It is bound to get a 0.1 later on.

No doubt, this show ain't going to be on air for too long. Maybe three seasons tops. But from what I heard, The CW shows perform much stronger on the DVR ratings, so most likely many of their audience is not watching live television anymore.

Most CW shows are pulling 0.3s. Charmed is fine. Plus it has been bouncing back in Live +7s.

First of all, I'm really enjoying this reboot so far but I have some criticism to do:
1. i don't like this Parker at all. I don't know if it's because of the actor or the storyline they're following (I wasn't a fan of Cole and Phoebe). The scenes with him are so boring and his story with Maggie seems forced;
2. I adore the new mythology they are building but it is all too fast: the search for the three pieces of the scythe should have occupied more episodes;
3. What's the point to have sentinels if a half-demon can put them KO so easily? They should be gods but they have not used any power!
4. Probably the girl with lightning powers will be Mel's new love interest: I hope it won't be so because they are spending too much time on the sisters' love lives.
Regarding the positive aspects:
1. the origins of Macy intrigue me a lot;
2. I like the history of Tartarus and of the scythe;
3. girls are getting closer and closer (I loved the scenes between Mel and Maggie and the confidences between Maggie and Macy);
4. Harry is adorable and maybe even better than Leo!

I saw the whole Parker/Maggie become the new Cole/Pheobe. I think what makes it easy for Parker to get around the whole empath power is because he generally feels these things but he just needs to control how much he is revealing. I like that we can see Parker conflicted and in this series we see a relationship between Parker and his family. We never got that with Cole. Cole's mother was a demon and she killed his father and it was never clear if Cole ever released his father's soul. We haven't heard from Parker's mother just yet but from the conversations, it sounds like they are divorced and she is possibly still alive. Each time Cole transformed into a demon he lost his humanity. Parker storyline has his demon half attacking his human body. It reminds me when the doctor infused the charmed one's blood with his own blood in the og series. I have to say this storyline has me more invested in the show.

I'm still curious about Macy. And I'm starting to like Mel more and more. I also agree, when did the mom even have time sleep with all of her jobs.
