Flute demon, is this going to be Charmeds version of Once More With Feeling?
I feel like this is the first time we've seen such a clear view of the attic, we need more time in there.
Macy seems a bit to happy that she isnt half sister lol. I know they are going for awkward but it's funny.
I'm already over this Pitch Perfect rip off.
So Maggie doesnt even have a unique power set for being a Charmed One.
Gina Rodriguez certainly has an interesting directing style.
Mel is back to freezing with her mind instead of her hands...same with Macy with her TK.
I guess witches are immune to Siren songs? So to break a Sirens hold on an audience....you just change up the tempo?
Couldn't have Macy just TKd the demon instead of Mel freezing him?
So The Power of 3 doesnt work when they are mad at each other, good thing this wasnt a thing in the original or else they'd be dead between Prue/Phoebe bickering. Now it takes a whole team to beat a demon...
Aww Harry, ready to find his kid and doesnt think he can continue to be TCO Whitelighter. Wish this was later in the series but whatever.
So Macy died as a baby....which is why she has darkness inside of her?

So Macy is dead? That's the weirdest thing I've seen yet.

That's odd. Did she die as a baby and her parents resurrect her and the darkness inside her is a consequence for bringing someone back from the dead.
So weird.

I didn't mind the episode though thought Mel and Maggie were a little harsh towards Macy at the start when they could've been slightly more understandable.
The spell Macy cast first was obviously like the truth one Prue originally done.
Was glad Parker wasn't in the episode either.
And we got another Charmed rehashed storyline although differently done.
Would like something not seen yet which'd appeal to me but there you go I suppose.
So the Sacarna could be a colt? I wonder what their beliefs are and whether they're dangerous?
I hope Harry doesn't go because I like him as a character though do understand why he'd want to stop being the sisters whitelighter if he's concentrating on finding his son and not focusing on them and something bad happened.
Imagine if Harry's son was Mel and Maggie's father which would explain Harry and Macy's interaction.
I'm glad the sisters made up before learning more about Macy herself.
Perhaps her baby self was stillborn for e.g. and Marisol distort either struck a deal or resurrected her herself using black magic explaining the darkness in Macy and she was given up to protect her from anything bad happening if she remained or because what happened came with a price or whatever.

Could Marisol have any more secrets? The woman is tied to everything and was lying to everyone around her. They are putting way to much on her plate, don't they have a grandmother that can be shady? Which a lack of Grams is definitely showing and is needed. So Macy is dead? That's the weirdest thing I've seen yet. Macy does have darkness inside of her so im guessing they struck a deal with evil to bring her back. |

I'm SURE it would give me nightmares - I HATE being scared! A lot of Charmed episodes (and by Charmed, I mean Classic Charmed, of course - I'd *never* call this mess Charmed!) I didn't like as much as I could've because they gave me nightmares. |

To me this hasnt been that scary, its been more corny then anything, it tries to be dark and serious but its the opposite.

Watched this episode not long ago.
It's funny, I don't see this as scary at all. In fact, some scenes feel more typical The CW, when they play pop music in key scenes.
I took Macy being dead, as her parents brought her back to life, and the darkness really is just a side-effect/consequence of that.
Also, these writers really are not good with logic and really have just slapped a date and year to the sister's ages, they already confused Macy's date of birth three times already. If Maggie was conceived on New Years Eve 2000, and born in September/October 2001. That means Maggie graduated high school at 16 and started college in the fall at age 17. LOL, I'm not familiar with American schooling, but that doesn't seem possible.
I was thrilled Parker wasn't in this episode. Because I loved Maggie outside of him more, and Lucy looks like she might be sticking around after all as a friend for Maggie. We all know the Halliwell's barely had friends.
Sorry, Galvin and Macy have zero chemistry, and still, see them as friends. I didn't like that he was involved in the vanquish, and I hope this show isn't going to CW it like the DC shows do, with having a group solving all the problems. Let the sisters do all the work, the supporting cast shouldn't all tag along for all the vanquishes and play a key part every episode.
The reactions of the sisters when Macy told them she isn't the half-sister, although they took it bad. I think it was actually how someone would react in a situation like that.
As for Harry's story, I wished that was saved for another season.
I've never seen Jane the Virgin, so I have no idea who the actor was playing the villain of the week, and I know the lead on that show directed this episode.
So the sister's powers, can't work power of three spells if they are fighting. LOL if this was on Classic Charmed, the sisters would be dead now.
It looks like based on the previews, we have our first big flashback/time-travel episode, where we are getting to see the mother and the father dealing with Macy's death and darkness when she was a baby. I gotta say, they sure get to answers fast.

When I watched Galvin play the flute I did picture Darryl or Andy from original Charmed and wondered what it would've been like had either of them helped Prue, Piper, Phoebe or Paige with demon vanquishes. Not all the time but occasionally mind.
I'm not really up on him and Macy together. Prefer them as friends at the moment because this year should be about the sisters and getting to learn, know and accept Macy but this episode was probably the best I liked of Galvin as a character then.
I suppose I'm slightly glad he knows the girls secret so least he's in the picture from the start and not lied to same as Andy was.
If people don't want Galvin at vanquishes then perhaps he could help in other ways if Harry wasn't around for example like checking the book for information and texting the girls that or spells etc. Researching at the library or the internet. And talking to victims who've been attacked to gain info also.

This episode was....enjoyable o.0
Everything didn't go at warp speed. The acting didn't feel cringy awkward. Chemistry between actors which felt non-existent before was suddenly there. No preachy screechy politics.
Women characters finally get the focus without male supporting ones storylines taking over making them. No Parker or his overly annoying CGI dad. Maggie mentions Parker for maybe a minute or so rather than moping over him for the rest of the episode and constantly mentioning him every chance she gets in a conversation.
Galvin is not annoying and gave off a Darryl vibe here.
The brief scene involving Charity and Lucy were not annoying. And Lucy giving Maggie advice about family rather than fashion, make up tips or guys was a breath of fresh air.
And finally sisterly moments which felt natural!
The scene where Macy dropped the we're full sisters bomb on Maggie was funny for a moment before turning realistically emotional.
Mel calling her mother a compulsive liar which I can't imagine the Halliwell sisters ever dream of saying because to them Perfect Patty could never do any wrong. So nice to see this show not putting their mother on a pedestal.
And that plot twist at the end with Macy discovering she was bought back to life was something I never suspected in a million years as the reason for giving her away.
Also can Gina Rodriguez direct every episode from now on? Sure there are things I disliked in the episode. But honestly compared to the last 10 episodes which deserve an F or D grade, this was a miracle.

I'm so glad many of you are enjoying the show, looks like the show just might have found itself. Even Classic Charmed didn't have the best first 7 episodes (although the chemistry between the sisters was the best part, and I still found something to appreciate in it, even after our re-watches the board is doing), and it wasn't until the second half of S1 that things really kicked off.
I'll hope or those watching, you guys can enjoy the show. Maybe things will settle in now.
I'm glad to hear that their mother isn't worshipped, perfect like a Mary Sue.
Looks like Gina Rodriguez is a great director. Maybe having female directors does add to the show. I'll wonder how Classic Charmed would be, if they had plenty more female directors doing episodes back in the day. (of course, they wouldn't have had many, given the time it was back then)
I hear the show is not on for a few weeks due to Super Bowl and Oscars and Grammy awards.

The last episode was more of your usual CW type of quality. The last episode wasn’t as bad as the ones before it. It’s not so bad it’s good yet but I think it has slight potential to go there.
I am excited for Harry to leave. Out of all the things they decided to keep, they kept the whitelighter who explains the plot. He’s a lesser version of Giles from Buffy, so I could stand to use a break from Harry for at least a few episodes. I hope that doesn’t mean an elder is going to take his place while he is away, creating tension between Mel and said elder. I could use less of the elders too.
Charmed 2018 vibes more with season 8 Charmed than he earlier roots of Charmed. Even though they’re different shows, I wish we had the luxury of experiencing the reboot in a similar fashion to the original start of the original series. The last episode wanted to go there, I think, and I hope they do

One nitpick that annoys me is the lack of the sisters using their individual powers. Macy needs to be proactive with her TK, especially, given that it's the offensive power. She just hops on the spot waiting for Mel to freeze the demon in question. Also, is Maggie an empath or a telepath? They seem to be confusing the two.

That, or she can discern how someone is feeling based on their thoughts. |
