Season 1, Episode 2: ”Back Home Again”

THE WARRENS ARE REUNITED IN SALEM. While still mourning the death of their father and getting used to the idea that they are part of a family of witches with powers, Piper and Phoebe move to their family’s ancestral home in Salem, MA. Piper has sold her restaurant in San Francisco and is now looking for a new restaurant in Salem. Paige thinks she should name it ‘Piper’s Brew’ but Piper doesn’t think that’s funny. In the meantime, Phoebe registers for classes at Salem College, happy that her credits have all transferred. Both decide to follow the family tradition and rather than being Piper Bennett and Phoebe Bennett, they are now Piper Warren and Phoebe Warren.

But not everything goes as well. Piper is used to living in her own apartment and Phoebe has lived in the dorms since she started college. Finding out that they are going to have to share a room, something they’ve never had to do, does not make either happy. But when both run into a warlock and they need their grandmother’s, mother’s and aunt’s help to vanquish her, they realize why Patience and Paige have always lived with their mother.

Well, I'm glad they are still mourning and that the two need to adjust to the idea of being witches with powers. And you do not just carry on and have them all just going about their lives. 

LOL, Piper's Brew   What name did she end up using by the way?

With five Warrens living under the same roof, I'd imagine someone would have to share a room with someone else. 

A good second episode to move along the story, and help Piper and Phoebe adjust to the idea of being witches and now living in the manor.

Season 1, Episode 3: ”See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil, Taste No Evil, Touch No Evil”

BIRTHDAYS, HALLOWEEN AND A CURSED VASE — With Halloween approaching, Patience feels like a horrible big sister and a worse mother when she realizes that with everything going on with Victor's death and her daughters moving to Salem, she's completely forgotten her sister Paige's birthday was only a week ago, and her own daughter Phoebe's birthday is only a few days away. With help from Prudence and Piper, Patience decides to turn their Halloween party into a combined surprise birthday party for the two.

While looking in the attic for possible party favors, Piper stumbles on an antique vase. Prudence smiles when she sees it, explaining that it once belonged to their ancestor, Mary Ann Warren, the first Warren to be born in America.

At the party, both Paige and Phoebe are properly surprised, and the party goes well until before Prudence can stop her, Phoebe accidentally reads the inscription on the vase, releasing an ancient curse.

The next day, Phoebe loses her sense of sight in the middle of an important college exam; Piper loses her sense of taste while testing her cooking at work, Paige loses her sense of hearing and can't hear a word her latest client at work says; Patience loses her sense of touch and can't pick up her camera, while Prudence, home by herself, loses her voice so when a warlock attacks, she's unable to call for help.

A Halloween and Birthday episode. Nice. 

So their ancestor is Mary Ann Warren, and EC's version of Melinda Warren. I like how we learn more about their ancestors a little. 

This was so creative with them all losing their senses, and it fits all well with their jobs and lives. But poor Prudence has it the worse. 

[Sasha]

I'm glad you like the series so far, West. Hope you and Olga keep reading. It's fun for us writers of EC and those involved to get reviews and feedback.

[Olga Halliwell]

As it is taking care of a new baby, you find you are up at all sorts of hours and times. So now that she is asleep, I'm awake, that I'm going to sit and read more EC.

Season 1, Episode 4: ”Yesterday I Was Just a Witch; Today I'm Chanting Spells and Righting Wrongs”

MAGIC COMES WITH A PRICE — Having vanquished their first warlock as the Elemental Witches, the three older Warrens agree that Piper and Phoebe need a crash course on how to handle their newfound gifts.

But Patience has to leave that to her mother and sister when she’s called to take pictures of a new crime scene. This leads her to Phoebe's campus where two teenagers were killed in a demonic-like ritual and a new friend of Phoebe's may be next.

Meanwhile, when two employees give Piper a hard time, Piper contemplates a little harmless spell to get back at them which her aunt, Paige, accidentally encourages, before both realize they’ve made a huge mistake. But Piper learns a valuable lesson from Prudence: all magic comes with a price, and Phoebe promises to learn from her sister’s mistake – and Phoebe, who was tempted to use a spell to help her friend, agrees to learn from her sister’s mistake..

OLGA:

First I had to give a shoutout to you guys for coming up with really cool titles. I love them all so far.

I just noticed a little error, this isn't their first warlock vanquish. That would have happened in the previous episode? Unless you guys switched episodes around. 

I really liked that Piper learns a valuable lesson, I love how they are growing and are not already so talented. Getting that support and guidance from their elders is perfect for growth. I can't wait to see how they grow in their roles as Elemental Witches.

Season 1, Episode 5: ”Kill Me Three Times”

PATIENCE WHO? — When Marcus, who had a high school crush on Paige, returns to Salem and is showcasing his work in an art and sculpture exhibition, she and Patience decide to go see his work. The sisters are shocked to see that half of Marcus' paintings and sculptures are of Patience, revealing that he actually had a secret obsession with Patience.

Later, two of the sculptures of Patience comes to life - each having full memories of Patience's life - and manage to trap the real Patience. They then wreak havoc on her life, both determined to become the supreme Patience. As her family try to figure out why Patience is acting nothing like herself, the women are shocked to find Patience's dead body, unaware that one of the fake Patiences has killed the other one and is now determined to kill the real Patience and take over her life forever.

I'm so glad you liked what we have done West. Summer's Charmed: Re-Imagined story is really great and perfect for how Charmed could have been.

Actually when we finish EC, we talked about possibly starting a new project for Charmed: Reimagined, and having several ones going at once, for whatever members are interested in and such. We'll see.

I hope you have time to read on.

Es, you starting this thread is perfect for people to read our series for just the episodes. Looking forward to you West, and also Olga (if she has time) reading more.

And I'm so glad, Pheebs, that you like this way of introducing our series that leaves out your fantastically wonderful Deadline articles based on the ones for the rip-off that you did a fantastic job adapting to our series.

I'm considering doing another thread that just has your Deadline articles. What do you (and the others - especially people new to Elemental Charmed like West and Olga) think of that idea?

I really like this idea, and I see many here do too.

Season 1, Episode 8: ”A Warren Family Feud”

TWO WARRENS TAKE A WALK IN THE OTHER WARREN’S SHOES — When Prudence and Paige try to meditate an argument Piper and Phoebe are having with their mother Patience in the Manor, Phoebe decides to stay overnight with a friend in the college dorms. Later, Patience tries to distract herself with work, Prudence goes to Piper’s restaurant while Paige goes to the dorms to encourage her niece to come home. Prudence explains to one of her granddaughters while Paige explains to one of her nieces about how hard it was for Patience to have Piper and Phoebe sent away across the country, and although Patience never talks much about it, it still hurts. The two youngest Warrens learn much more about the difficulties the three older Warrens had to face, things they’d never really thought about before.

Although Piper apologizes to her mother, Phoebe turns her back on her aunt, still wanting to stay in the dorm. Feeling like she’s failed her family, Paige casts a spell so both can feel what the other does, but it backfires – it switches Phoebe’s and Patience's bodies.

When Patience and Phoebe realize what Paige did, they decide to keep it on the down-low and fix the mess themselves, not wanting to get grilled by Prudence. The problem is: how do they fix it if they don’t know which spell Paige used?

While Patience and Phoebe take a walk in each other's shoes, letting them understand each other better, Prudence has a premonition. She sees Paige at SSS, caught up with trying to help two innocent children, who are both actually warlocks, using the disguise of children in order to steal the powers of young witches who have yet to come into their powers. Prudence rushes to warn her daughter, but the warlocks lure them both into a trap.

Having seen so much through her mother’s eyes, Phoebe eventually says sorry to Patience, and she, Patience and Piper start planning a weekly mother-daughters dinner, just for the three of them, every Thursday night at 6 pm in the private dining room at Piper’s restaurant, but her manager will do all of the cooking and serving so Piper won’t have to.

But before they can celebrate this wonderful newfound mother-daughter bonding, the three of them have to rescue the other two Warrens. Will they be able to adapt the spell to put Phoebe and Patience back in their own bodies, so they can properly use their Elemental powers or will these two Elemental Witches be unable to use their own power forever?

OLGA: SO loved reading this one. Good work Sasha and Summer.

What I love is our Warrens are not all perfect, still they are adjusting to living under the same roof. I just wish Charmed did a better job when Paige moved in, the conflict needed to be more. 

I also love that, they decide to have a night for the three of them. 

Plus an innocent needing to be saved, which is what I love about Charmed so much. And hope Elemental Charmed will keep on doing right until the final season. When protecting the innocent is important.

Really enjoying your reviews Olga and West.

Even if you are doing these one or two episodes at a time dears, I like coming online and checking to see which episodes you are reviewing next.

Season 1, Episode 9: ”A Smart Spell and A Banshee...Are We Watching Charmed?”



IN A TRIBUTE TO "CHARMED", PHOEBE TRIES A SMART SPELL WHILE A BANSHEE HAUNTS — Phoebe is struggling with one of her classes and has a project due the next day. If she doesn't finish it in time, she will probably fail the class and the semester and have to repeat the whole thing all over again. So she goes up to the attic looking for some magical help. She finds a smart spell in the family book of shadows, and happily casts it, totally forgetting what Prudence taught her - a spell cast to just help herself and not another is bound to backfire.



Meanwhile, it's also the Annual Foodie Event at the Salem Convention Centre, where everyone gets to sample new foods from all of the local restaurants. Prudence is in charge of the event this year and has talked Piper into introducing her new restaurant to Salem by hosting one of the booths. Prudence has also invited "Feed Salem's Hungry", one of the not-for-profit organizations where she volunteers, to sponsor the event, so the other members are helping out.



But during the big event, Prudence has a premonition showing a Banshee stalking a woman who has lost her husband. When she sees the woman's son trying to save his mother, she recognizes him as Matthew Tate, who is hosting one of the booths and who has brought his mother with him in hopes that helping him will help bring her out of her massive grief and make her want to live again. This is followed by a second premonition showing Prudence that the Banshee will be at the Foodie Event in disguise, not only stalking Matthew's mother, but also stalking Piper who has been so busy becoming an Elemental Witch, finding a manager to run her restaurant in San Francisco while starting up a new one in Salem that she's never actually grieved father, Victor's death.



After her mother tells Paige about her premonitions, Paige transports home in order to check the family book of shadows for information about Banshees. When she tells Phoebe, who is supposedly studying for her test, and Phoebe just shrugs. All they have to do is go back in the Banshee's history and figure out which unresolved grief issues turned the Banshee into one to begin with. She also tells her how to do this - a certain potion that Phoebe quickly comes up with. Throw it at the Banshee and she'll confess everything.



Knowing there's no way Phoebe could figure all of this on her own, Paige knows something is up. She gets Phoebe to admit to casting the spell, but that it will wear off in an hour and her project is due tomorrow. She then turns back to her project.



Paige reminds her as an Elemental Witch, innocents must come first. Phoebe insists not when it means flunking a class. Paige grabs her and transports them back to the Centre, telling her that if she helps them help the Banshee which won’t only help the Banshee, but also Matthew and his mother *and* Piper, she'll help her with her project.



But the potion requires so many ingredients that Phoebe's smart spell might run out of time. Will the Warrens be able to save the Banshee and the Tates and Piper? Will they be able to help Piper take the time to properly mourn her father and will Phoebe learn a lesson about using spells to help herself when despite Paige helping her, Phoebe fails a different class and has to repeat the semester anyway?

OLGA: That title really put a smile on my face. I love the use of stuff from Classic Charmed, while your Banshee story was so good, especially love how it comes back to Victor and them having unresolved issues with his death, that made this story *so* good. I think your use of the Banshee was so much better than even Classic Charmed, that one was all due to Cole and Phoebe, this one affected more than one person.

Well done, Prudence. Exactly the plot we'd want to see dealt with. That they still miss Victor.

Season 2, Episode 9: The Legend of the Bell Witch


SOMETHING FROM THE PAST IS HAUNTING THE WARRENS - When Belinda Bennet, Victor's elderly mother, and Piper and Phoebe's grandmother on their fathers side and Patience's mother in law who had been suffering from dementia for a long time passes away. Patience, Piper and Phoebe attend her service in Tennessee. Following the service, and learning that Piper and Phoebe had inherited Victors family cabin after his death, but never visited it since, but had when they were children. The three stay the night at the cabin before leaving for Salem in the morning.


That night, Piper walks out the back to get fire wood, and the others joke, that with her powers, she can just as easily make the fire. But she wants to do it the old fashion way. She notices a girl running through the forests, and when she investigates she notices a strange spirit figure following her. Suddenly, Piper begins to remember something from her childhood, eventually discovering that she had visited this cabin once before, with her Patience and Victor and that her grandmother Belinda had suffered her stroke at the cabin 25 years ago. But that the famous urban legend of the 'Bell Witch' had been lurking and haunting the location, and the legend of the so-called “Bell Witch,” a sinister entity that tormented a pioneer family on Tennessee’s early frontier. Patience reveals, that this legend is true, but that she was certain it was taken care of 25 years ago. But when the killings begin again, and the Bell family gets concerned for their safety. The three Warrens are left to take care of the mess and stop the evil spirit known as the 'Bell Witch' once and for all.



However, doing more digging into the legend. Patience, Piper and Phoebe learn that the spirit identified itself as the "witch" of Kate Batts, a neighbor of the Bell's, with whom John had experienced bad business dealings over some purchased slaves. Kate as the local people began calling the spirit, made daily appearances in the Bell home, wreaking havoc on everyone there. They learn the Bell family has a connection to the Bennet family, and that Piper and Phoebe are actually the real targets, and that Victor's mother stroke was caused by Kate, the Bell Witch herself. Also learning that the Bennet family was actually the descendants of the Bells, and the family name changed from Bell to Bennet.

Meanwhile in Salem, Prudence assists Paige with guidance to troubled sisters on opposite sides of the law before a planned crime is carried out. But when their plans to infiltrate the two sides goes horribly wrong and Prudence is hurt, Paige is forced to deal with the situation on her own, and might be forced to reveal her secret in order to help the two sisters come together.

When Patience contacts Paige, she wishes to use the spirit board to contact Victor, to get answers from him about the family history, stuff Patience might be missing. But Prudence believes the reason they couldn't banish the spirit 25 years ago is the only ones who can are Bells or in this case Bennets, which means Piper and Phoebe. But that the Elemental Witches might be enough now to do so.

Prudence has a premonition of Piper and Phoebe killed by the Bell Witch, and she, Paige and Patience must rescue them, and the three are forced to enter the famous Bell Witch Caves, where Kate the Bell Witch had tricked Piper and Phoebe into saving some innocents in order to trap them both.

What a way to include a real legend. Love urban myths, and this one rocks. Especially not using something Charmed did before. 

Also the characters get out of Salem, always nice when you do this for a reason. And letting the other family members having their own innocent plot back in town in Salem. 

I'll get to reading these more closely, but wanted to review one for now. Just to let you guys know, how much I appreciate and love that you guys are adding cool twists and real legends to your series.

THE WARRENS ARE REUNITED IN SALEM. While still mourning the death of their father and getting used to the idea that they are part of a family of witches with powers, Piper and Phoebe move to their family’s ancestral home in Salem, MA. Piper has sold her restaurant in San Francisco and is now looking for a new restaurant in Salem. Paige thinks she should name it ‘Piper’s Brew’ but Piper doesn’t think that’s funny. In the meantime, Phoebe registers for classes at Salem College, happy that her credits have all transferred. Both decide to follow the family tradition and rather than being Piper Bennett and Phoebe Bennett, they are now Piper Warren and Phoebe Warren.

But not everything goes as well. Piper is used to living in her own apartment and Phoebe has lived in the dorms since she started college. Finding out that they are going to have to share a room, something they’ve never had to do, does not make either happy. But when both run into a warlock and they need their grandmother’s, mother’s and aunt’s help to vanquish her, they realize why Patience and Paige have always lived with their mother.

With help from Prudence and Piper, Patience decides to turn their Halloween party into a combined surprise birthday party for the two.

While looking in the attic for possible party favors, Piper stumbles on an antique vase. Prudence smiles when she sees it, explaining that it once belonged to their ancestor, Mary Ann Warren, the first Warren to be born in America.

At the party, both Paige and Phoebe are properly surprised, and the party goes well until before Prudence can stop her, Phoebe accidentally reads the inscription on the vase, releasing an ancient curse.

KW: The title is perfect, so creative with how it hurt all five of them in their lives. I also love that we learn about their ancestor Mary Ann, and love that we have a Halloween episode and a birthday. 

Poor Prudence, she loses her voice when she is hurt. This can't be good.

I guess this is the reviewer's thread. I'll post it here like I did at GTTS.

That is great. I'm onto the next episodes.

ELEMENTAL CHARMED (TV-14, DLV) (HDTV)

Season 1, Episode 2: ”Back Home Again”

THE WARRENS ARE REUNITED IN SALEM. While still mourning the death of their father and getting used to the idea that they are part of a family of witches with powers, Piper and Phoebe move to their family’s ancestral home in Salem, MA. Piper has sold her restaurant in San Francisco and is now looking for a new restaurant in Salem. Paige thinks she should name it ‘Piper’s Brew’ but Piper doesn’t think that’s funny. In the meantime, Phoebe registers for classes at Salem College, happy that her credits have all transferred. Both decide to follow the family tradition and rather than being Piper Bennett and Phoebe Bennett, they are now Piper Warren and Phoebe Warren.

But not everything goes as well. Piper is used to living in her own apartment and Phoebe has lived in the dorms since she started college. Finding out that they are going to have to share a room, something they’ve never had to do, does not make either happy. But when both run into a warlock and they need their grandmother’s, mother’s and aunt’s help to vanquish her, they realize why Patience and Paige have always lived with their mother.

Okay, I like that they are still in adjustment mode, and settling with the transition from one city to another. So both sisters had been living not under the same roof in San Francisco, I like this adjustment. 

Love that they learn a lesson on why they live under the same roof and also I wonder just what did Piper call her restaurant, P5? Maybe even something to use their last name of Warren?

The CW's Elemental Charmed: Week Two ratings proves viewers are still Charmed

The CW got some good news with its new Sunday night line-up being stable last night.

For the coveted adult 18-49 The CW's Elemental Charmed was down .1 percent from its reboot debut last week, while its lead-in Supergirl, was down .5 percent. Already critics are wondering if moving Supergirl to Sunday night was a mistake.

Overall, Elemental Charmed (3.75 mil/2.1) was up 17 percent from its reboot debut. This makes it still the highest performing new series for the network for the year.

Viewers and critics alike have praised the second episode, which was said to be even stronger than the pilot episode. It will be interesting to see how the reboot's first season performs as the television season progresses.

The CW will likely announce a full-season order for Elemental Charmed in the coming weeks.

Elemental Charmed airs Sundays at 8 pm on The CW

How cool, and no doubt, that pick-up happened very fast. I noticed, but haven't gotten through more, but skimmed and saw it moved to CBS. The opposite of Supergirl, I think that's so cool. 

Elemental Charmed Celebrates Halloween in typical Warren style

Things are gettin' spooky on the CW's new iteration of Charmed.

The show is celebrating Halloween this week with a big Halloween party (duh). There's also a warlock (of course it is, and of course she's female - that's taken some getting used to, but it's fun and helps make the show female-centric in a way Charmed never was.) on the loose, meaning those costumes had better be practical for warlock-chasing.

Deadline was on set for the Halloween party and got the scoop on the soiree. Because, naturally, in typical Warren fashion, their party doesn't go without some drama.

At one point, Phoebe stumbles upon a vase from her ancestor that releases an ancient curse. TBC5 said in an on-set interview "This was one episode I had so much fun filming"

"We're in the midst of a Halloween party, enjoying ourselves, when of course my on-screen granddaughter cannot help herself," TBC1 says. "Prudence cannot stop her before Phoebe accidentally reads the inscription on the ancient vase, releasing an ancient curse."

"The episode plot was so creative, with what the curse does to each of the Warrens and their daily lives," TBC3 added. 'And it's a throwback to one of my favorite Charmed episodes, "Sense and Sense-Ability", although naturally, the curse hits us Warrens differently than it did the Halliwells, because only my on-screen grandmother is at the Manor. The rest of us are at work, except Phoebe who's in a class. And it's all pretty serious and scary, not funny like that one."

"I loved my Halloween costume", TBC4 smiled, noting that the show's costume designer went all out in style. "So different than what Piper usually wears."

You can see Elemental Charmed get a little wild this Sunday, and hear more from the cast in the video above. Be sure to check out our interview with the costume designer, too.

Elemental Charmed airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on the CW.

I wish, I could be in this universe and see the videos. 

Love that we get a Halloween episode in S1. 

Really love that they are doing throwbacks to Classic Charmed so wonderfully. 

ELEMENTAL CHARMED (TV-14, DLV) (HDTV)

Season 1, Episode 3: ”See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil, Taste No Evil, Touch No Evil”

BIRTHDAYS, HALLOWEEN AND A CURSED VASE — With Halloween approaching, Patience feels like a horrible big sister and a worse mother when she realizes that with everything going on with Victor's death and her daughters moving to Salem, she's completely forgotten her sister Paige's birthday was only a week ago, and her own daughter Phoebe's birthday is only a few days away. With help from Prudence and Piper, Patience decides to turn their Halloween party into a combined surprise birthday party for the two.

While looking in the attic for possible party favors, Piper stumbles on an antique vase. Prudence smiles when she sees it, explaining that it once belonged to their ancestor, Mary Ann Warren, the first Warren to be born in America.

At the party, both Paige and Phoebe are properly surprised, and the party goes well until before Prudence can stop her, Phoebe accidentally reads the inscription on the vase, releasing an ancient curse.

The next day, Phoebe loses her sense of sight in the middle of an important college exam; Piper loses her sense of taste while testing her cooking at work, Paige loses her sense of hearing and can't hear a word her latest client at work says; Patience loses her sense of touch and can't pick up her camera, while Prudence, home by herself, loses her voice so when a warlock attacks, she's unable to call for help.

Birthday and Halloween all in one, with name dropping of their ancestor. Now this is how you slowly build your story, too bad, the reboot hasn't even given any indication or name dropping of their ancestor.

I like how all their senses goes away when all five need them the most. Poor Piper, but most importantly poor Prudence, can't call for help.

Been browsing the fanfic board, this caught my attention.

Elemental Charmed

BACKSTORY:

Prudence Warren, a witch born from a long matriarchal line of witches who have always lived in Warren Manor in Salem, MA, always said everything happens for a reason, but nothing comes without a price…

She has known that she has the Elemental power of Spirit when she started having premonitions as a teenager. While studying to become a doctor, she married fellow witch, Allen Halliwell, and gave birth twice (with Allen agreeing to let their daughters carry the family name of Warren if any son carried his family name of Halliwell). When they grew older, Prudence discovered that her older daughter, Patience, had the Elemental power of Earth, while her younger daughter, Paige, had the Elemental power of Air. When Prudence's premonitions revealed that her two future granddaughters would have the other two Elemental powers of Water and Fire, she realized that her family was destined to become the powerful Elemental Witches. She began training her daughters in the Craft in order to prepare them for what would eventually happen to them and their own daughters, especially after a warlock murdered Allen.

While still a teenager, Paige fell in love with an older man, Sam Wilder. Although Prudence warned her against him so Paige eventually broke up with him, a couple months later she discovered she was pregnant. She gave birth to a daughter, Peyton. When Prudence, Patience, and Paige discovered that Peyton had the Elemental power of Fire, and when a couple years later Patience married non-magical Victor Bennett and had their daughter Piper, who had the Elemental power of Water, the Warren family was certain that those five would become the Elemental Witches with each of Prudence's daughters having one child, who were cousins.

This changed when Sam came back and began influencing his eight-year-old daughter. When Peyton used her firepower to kill a classmate who was teasing her, she became a warlock like her father. Under his influence, Peyton turned on her family and much as it hurt the family, especially Patience, they ended up having to vanquish Peyton, and they were sure all was lost.

But this changed five years later, when Piper was ten and Patience gave birth to Phoebe, who had the same Elemental power as Peyton - Fire. After Phoebe was born, Patience and her mother and sister decided to try to protect her daughters from what had happened to Peyton. The three older witches placed a cloaking spell on Victor and the girls before the three of them relocated to the other side of the country in San Francisco. This way the girls could be raised by their father and be protected while also having a normal childhood, something no other Warren witch had ever had.

In order to continue to protect them, Victor raised Piper and Phoebe so they didn't know that they were witches or destined to become one of the Elemental Witches – they were always just his little girls. They even use his last name, Bennett, as their own. They’ve visited their grandmother, mother (who they believed divorced their father, but agreed to let him have custody so that she could live her own life as a forensic photographer for the Salem Police Department) during summer vacations and they always go back to Warren Manor for Christmas.

But as our series begins, Prudence has a premonition showing that Sam is back, going after Piper and Phoebe, so the two are in danger. Paige uses her Elemental power of Air to transport herself, her mother and her sister to her nieces. They're too late to prevent Sam from murdering Victor, but thanks to Prudence's premonition, Patience uses her Elemental power of Earth to throw Sam into a wall before he can harm her daughters. Then Prudence, Patience and Paige use a potion and a spell to vanquish Sam. Seeing the shock in her daughters’ eyes, Patience reveals that she, her mother and her sister are witches with elemental powers – and so are Piper and Phoebe. She lets them decide if they want her to unbind their powers. After seeing what happened to their father, that idea frightens the girls and they decide against this.

Piper and Phoebe try to forget what their mother told them as they help their family prepare their father’s wake and funeral, even as the younger set of sisters consider moving to Salem to be with their family. During the funeral, the whole Warren family remember and mourn Victor through numerous flashbacks.

But when Piper and Phoebe see how their powers can help people, they finally agree to embrace their destiny, and their powers are unbound. They agree to join their mother and aunt, who along with their grandmother who uses her premonitions and knowledge to guide her daughters and granddaughters. The five Warren women are now the Elemental Witches, setting out to protect those innocent of the knowledge of magic from the denizens of evil magic.

THE MAIN CHARACTERS:

Prudence Warren: Aged 69. Much the same as the Grams we know and shake our head at, she's the strict, fiery matriarch of the Warren family. She's very much like Prue Halliwell, initially strict but because she will have suffered fewer losses than the "real Grams" she becomes more mellow and softer. She has the Elemental power of Spirit which gives her premonitions. She was a doctor but is now retired, although now she uses her skills along with potions to heal her family’s injuries.

Patience Warren: Prudence's older daughter, aged 49. Pretty much the Patty we know and love, although even more kind and caring. She functions as the "balance" of the family as Piper was in the original series, but unlike Piper Halliwell, she is the most selfless person of all and always has time to help those in need, althoug49h that often gets her in trouble. Like Prue Halliwell, she's a photographer, but unlike Prue, she works with the Salem police. She has the Elemental power of Earth which allows her to throw anything.

Paige Warren: Prudence's younger daughter, aged 39. Again, she is basically the same as her namesake, except she is Patty's sister, not Piper and Phoebe's. She's sometimes irresponsible and impulsive and not always in touch with reality. Much in the same way Prue would lecture Phoebe at being irresponsible in the original series, Prudence would be the same with this "Paige". Like Paige Matthews, she's a social worker. Paige has the Elemental power of Air, which allows her to use the wind to move herself and anyone else to wherever she wants to go.

Piper Warren: Patience's older daughter, aged 29. Again much like Piper Halliwell, but rather than being shy, she's very fiery, like later-season Piper without constantly feeling sorry for herself (although she does miss her normal life..,), and because there are no whitelighters, she never falls for one. Like Piper Halliwell, she owns her own restaurant and is a very good cook, so she's the one who makes most of the potions. She has the Elemental power of Fire, which allows her to form and throw fireballs, but like Piper Warren herself, the power isn't evil.

Phoebe Warren: Patience's younger daughter, aged 19. Also much like Phoebs Halliwell (and never like PhoeME Halliwell), but like her grandmother, mother, aunt and sister, the fact that she was born in Warren Manor has nothing to do with whether she can easily turn evil - all five have free will and can decide if they want to do good or evil. Phoebe is still in college and works on the school paper. She has always loved to write and is the one who comes up with most of the original spells. Phoebe has the Elemental power of Water which allows her to freeze molecules.

I like what I see so far. You sure made a reboot that is different than Charmed but better. I don't like the CW reboot, I gave it three episodes and quit. 

I nearly fell off my chair when I read the part about Phoebe Warren never being like PhoeME,  I'm so glad to hear that. I'd stop reading immediately if any of these Warren resemble the horribly written sisters that I could not stand to keep watching from S6-S8.

I like the powers you gave these Warrens, and it's quite fun to see how these different relationships will grow between a mother, daughters, nieces and aunt. 

The backstory with Victor raising the younger Warrens on the other side of the country makes total sense to me. The way I couldn't understand why Paige was raised in the same city as her half-sisters, and not somewhere else, if they wanted to keep her a secret. Whoever came up with that idea, I like it.

I do love that the older Warrens give Piper and Phoebe the choice, and do not force the idea onto them. That seeing what magic  and their powers can do for helping people, is what has them accepting their destiny. And then they get their powers are unbound. 

This backstory helped me make my mind up on continuing to read on.

[Esmeralda]

YAY!! I'm SO glad you like our reboot more than the canon one (which we call the rip-off) and that I haven't wasted a second on. I admire you for giving it three episodes before you decided to say quits.

This was the first "Team Charmed Cafe' project where any Cafe member could write episode while I acted as editor, trying to keep it inconsistent. We might have gone overboard making it female-centric, but that was part of the fun. It was also what turned a lot of members away since they wanted more romance. We figured if they really wanted that, they could write their own version and they never did.

And don't worry, none of them will turn into the S6-8 versions that so many of us hate! Or if they do it's because they're possessed or under a spell and won't stay that way.

I do hope you decide to keep reading and let us know what you think of it.

You didn't  not miss out on much Esmeralda. Count yourself lucky you didn't watch a second of it. Even though I liked the whitelighter Harry with the little I saw of the show. Him being a true mentor and not romantically involved with any sister right away was great.

But I gave it a chance. I'm surprised it got renewed for a fourth season.

Now I'm more interested to keep reading. I appreciate you telling all of that.

Time for the pilot episode of EC.

SEASON ONE

CRONE: Is Connie part of it with you assigning a writing team. Be kinda cool if you rewrote fantasy press releases with interviews.

ELEMENTAL CHARMED (TV-14, DLV) (HDTV)

Season 1, Episode 1: ”House of the Rising Warrens”

NEW SERIES PREMIERE — It isn't every day you wake up and discover that you're a witch from a long matriarchal line of witches, but sisters Piper and Phoebe Bennett discover that their somewhat ordinary life of being raised in San Francisco, CA, by their father, Victor, is about to become anything but ordinary.

When their grandmother, Prudence Warren, who has been living on the other side of the country in Salem, Mam has a premonition that a warlock who she had presumed was dead is back, and is going after Piper and Phoebe, she rushes to their rescue. With her are her older daughter, Piper and Phoebe's mother Patience Warren, and her younger daughter, their aunt Paige Warren. They three are too late to prevent the warlock from murdering Victor. Patience reveals to her daughters that their true last name is Warren just like hers, her mothers and her sisters, but the girls grew up with the last name of Bennett to hide the fact that they are witches with bound powers. Their mother gives them the choice to have her unbind their powers. After seeing what happened to their father, that idea frightens the girls and they decide against this.

Piper and Phoebe try to forget what their mother told them as they help their family prepare their father’s wake and funeral, even as the younger set of sisters consider moving to Salem. During the funeral, the whole Warren family remember and mourn Victor through numerous flashbacks.

But when Piper and Phoebe see how their powers can help people, they finally agreed to embrace their destiny, and their powers are unbound.

-Summer Reading

CRONE: What a ride you took me.

I was really connecting with the characters as the plot was well paced.

I loved the nod to the canon shows setting.

The backstory for why the younger Warrens were with their father who dies and how they got to discover their destiny was well done.

I loved that the three older Warrens gave them the choice.

I think Prudence having Premonitions fits. I like that their first warlock is one they thought was dead. I'm guessing the warlock finally found where Piper and Phoebe had been living after all those years.

I loved that the pilot ends with them at the Warren manor with Piper and Phoebe ready to protect innocents.

I liked the touch of showing flashbacks with Victor at the funeral. The way I wished they did that with Prue.

This pilot was a nice set-up for whats no doubt to come. 

Summer Reading you rocked the pilot. I liked the title too.

I will be back for the second episode to read when I can.

Like I said, I'm proud of you for giving the rip-off a chance and also figuring out when to call quits.  It seems like Harry was closer to Buffy's Giles rather than Leo and I would've preferred Leo that way - either that or *just* in S1 so we'd never hear the words Elder or witchlighter.

But I've heard they've matched the half-sister with Harry so they even blew that. Like you, him as a true mentor and not romantically involved with any sister would've been a lot better.

I'm HOWLING at myself for talking about being the editor who kept things INCONSISTENT!  Of course, I meant it was my job as editor to keep things CONSISTENT! But such mistakes happen when I'm tired which I was when I wrote that.  I'm glad I didn't confuse you too much.

I'm glad I've got you even more interested than you were before and I'm looking forward to see what you think of our pilot episode.  Of course you've read most of it in the Background, but I hope you enjoy it anyway.
