Issue with Paige and Kyle

[codebox]

Out of all the Charmed Sisters Paige easily has the most stellar romances in the whole show, even more than Piper/Leo. I loved her relationships with Richard and Henry because they were developed and Paige actually developed chemistry with them. Not to mention her storylines with them always seemed to have the most interest. Paige and Kyle are no exception, while I didn't mind the idea of them being together it became my least favorite of Paige's romances simply because I found Paige's attitude horrible during the arc.

Don't get me wrong I enjoy Paige and Kyle in Charmed Noir, they shared a likable chemistry there and I don't even mind the idea of him showcasing shady qualities to show he isn't completely in the right, what gets me is how out of character Paige acts during the entire time she dates him. This started annoying me in Season 7, Episode 10 Witchness Protection where Paige acts like a complete wench and acts agitated simply because she doesn't want demon fights interupting her date, which is a very Phoebe and Piper quality. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EmkezYcsfQ&t=89s

The reason I have an issue with this is how out of character Paige is, this is something I could see Piper and Phoebe doing, acting like harpies because their dates are ruined, but I hated Paige's tone in this scene, where the just wanted Piper to carelessly blow up Kyra the Seer and acts dismissive toward her just because it was getting in the way of her and Kyle.

Some might say "Paige did this with Richard" however what justified it for me there, was Phoebe was personally intruding in Paige's business and abusing her empathy power to but into Paige's love life. Here Paige acts hateful, completely out of character. Not to mention she acts completely okay with Kyle putting Sheridan in a coma and sending her to a mental hospital.
So it's okay to put a woman into a coma if she's getting in the Charmed One's way? 

I still love Paige all things considered, she was by far the most tolerable and likable sister in the second half of the show where Piper and Phoebe became insufferable. But she did annoy me during parts of the Avatar arc. What do you guys think?

Kyle to Paige was like Cole to phoebe. Kyle brought the worst out of Paige and she seemed to follow him so blindly.

Richard could have worked better for Paige only if she gave him a second chance. He had already taken the power stopping potion, so there could have been hope for him. But maybe seeing how that didn’t work so well for Cole, Paige wasn’t willing to give Richard that chance.

But then why did she give Brody so many chances? He was much more like Cole than Richard was, and in turn her lusting after him turned her into PhoeME.02 the way lusting after Cole turned Phoebs into PhoeME.01. I really thought they'd use Brody to show how Cole's story should've been done, but they didn't; it was just a repeat of my least-favorite storyline, making it my least-favorite Paige storyline.

I really do get tired of people demonizing Kyle Brody. He made his mistakes, but he turned out to be right about the Avatars. Also, the Charmed Ones and Leo really screwed up by agreeing to participate in the Avatars' plans. Psychic rape of the human population? Genocide? Seriously? Why continue to bash Kyle when the Avatars, the Charmed Ones and Leo were the ones who were really the bad guys? I don't care what their intent was. And they should have known that their intent was unnatural in the first place.

Perhaps the reason the writers keep "screwing up" Cole and Kyle's story arcs is because they and Brad Kern are hellbent in shoveling this illusion that the Charmed Ones and Leo are always in the right.

My problem wasn't actually with Kyle himself, I'm actually fine with the fact he did some shady things, my issue is Paige's attitude when she was with him, especially in Witchness Protection! She acted so much like Phoebe did when she was around Cole and the moment she came down the stairs to shout in a hateful tone I hated it!

You mean like Piper after Leo had murdered one of the Elders?
