Yeah it gets predictable alright, there are other ways to drive up some drama, then just killing people for shock value. I find it really is done as just for some drama and shock.

On the one hand, Mary is pretty obvious, but would the Js make it so very obvious, I mean saying a major death is coming and it affects Sam and Dean and with what they said with filming, they surely know fans will know it HAS to be someone like Mary. But then them being gleeful 'bet you can't guess' makes me think they wouldn't make it too obvious. Unless it is Mary and they said that trying to throw people off when they realized what they said gave away too much. I'll hate if they don't pick up right away with where the cliffhanger ended. If they don't, then it is a really weird cliffhanger to end on, if Mary is really dead. So I'm sure we'll get a flashback on how she died, and hear Jack's POV, I hope so.

That really would have been a great way for Phoebe to use her powers for good and helping innocents. I never felt like the jobs most of the sisters had fitted, and even then, the ones that did were not even around long e.g Paige and Piper. Being a social worker, was maybe the best job out of any of the sisters because it had a purpose to do actual good and a way to incorporate innocents into the plots.

Well, I guess we wouldn't need an Angel spin-off, they could simply have his stories in LA told on Buffy, just all on the same series. Also allows some blending in with crossovers. But love triangle's would be big too. Also, the Whirlwind might just be a big part of Season 5, and we might even have a big Angelus, Darla, Spike, Drusilla arc. I think you could blend Buffy/Angel stories into a season. How many seasons could it go for, not sure maybe 7 or 8. But 250 episodes a year is crazy, maybe just twice a week, and I'll assume in soap opera style, one episode of regular buffy would equal a week of soap opera buffy episodes.

Unless she's a corpse, and or we actually see what actually went down with her death shown in a flashback. I know she was on set for the finale, she posted on Insta with her script. So unless she's a ghost or it is simply flashbacks. I guess she's dead. Still, wonder why they did that odd cliffhanger, I'm guessing to make us think Jack killed her when really it turns out it was someone else as revealed in 18 or 19.

I think Piper/Leo got married way too early. Two and a half seasons is really early to have one of them marry. The journey/pay-off would be so much better if we watched Piper/Leo reach marriage later in the series. Once Piper and Leo got married and had children, their storylines reached their peak, with something left to explore. As far as I'm concerned, too many shows feel the need to rush stuff quickly. I'd rather they have had Leo be taken away by the Elders for an entire season, I just hated how easy they had it, and then being able to marry because they saved the Elders. LOL If Leo was taken at the start of S3, and Piper was left without Leo for the rest of S3, that would have been wonderful. Actually, if Leo came back in S4, even better. Then Phoebe/Cole could be the only relationship that they focused on in S3. Then, they can have Piper/Leo trying to make it work in S4, once he is returned, that can delay their wedding until S5 in the middle of the season. Maybe Phoebe could be the one to have a child from Cole or no children at all, and the pay-off with Piper finally getting the child she saw in her future trip happens towards the end of the series. It would complete the P/L love story so much more if we watched their journey towards marriage and children, and not seen them having that pay-off so soon.

Maybe we are better off treating every episode of Charmed with its own build in continuity, and just try not to think too much of episodes connecting. It creates fewer headaches trying to make sense of the hundreds of continuity errors of Charmed. Maybe just following the continuity each individual writer did for Charmed. Each writer had their own ideas and continuity separate from the others. But Kern was a crappy showrunner, who did jack for the show, in making sure everything was consistent. I love Charmed, but each season was their own separate universe, with how much changes season to season with continuity.

Yeah but even Charmed got pretty silly and campy as it progressed. I've never seen Port Charles, but I do like that set-up. A more grounded series with less supernatural themes and fewer demons if at all and more on warlocks and witches would be cool. Yeah, I can see that happening. Yeah, I think it wouldn't be on just three sisters but a family of witches, so maybe it is about all the Halliwell women. Although for a soap opera, Yeah I don't think it would be focused on just the Halliwell's. Could see it being centered on a feud between two sides, maybe the battle being the charmed ones and the evil charmed ones. I'm sure being a soap opera we'd learn more about Victor's mortal family, and so we'd have to have some non-magicals, but I'm sure Andy and Darryl would cover that side. I just haven't seen too many soap opera's that have magic or fantasy themes woven into the show.

I keep thinking of Passions, that was a soap opera with fantasy and supernatural themes and had a witch in it. That is the show that comes to mind that would be the best to compare to how Charmed could be like, or just how it would perform.

I hope they do too, I want more innocents and us to explore the town. It doesn't seem like the University is as important I believed it was. I hope they explore more of the town, I mean the show is set in Michigan, they can still leave this town. I mean they need to have reasons why this town has so much demonic activity, and they resolved that with the reboot having its own Nexus under their house.

And with Supernatural now ending next season, are they trying to fill that void by trying to win over those fans by making it more darker and supernatural. The relationship between the sisters and Harry are the key to keeping me watching too, I like don't care for the other characters. I do hope they slow down on too many separate storylines. I wonder if this is why the showrunners are changing, maybe they are seeing that the ones in charge of S1, have done poorly with trying to do storylines, by rushing so much and adding too much. I have to say, S1 really felt like two seasons of storylines all in one. I'm still surprised they resolved their mothers killer in episode 15/16, and not the finale. At least they have toned down all the romantic plots, lately, they haven't been giving all three sisters their romantic plots in the same episode. And I've liked we've gotten more sisterly stuff in these last few. I'm curious if these new showrunners might ditch Parker or Galvin for S2. With new showrunners, normally they see what is working and who isn't, with a clean slate. Although Galvin barely adds much to the plot, I didn't even notice he has been MIA for 3 episodes. LOL

LOL, as if the show was heavy on the family aspect anyway. Unlike the original, it doesn't look like these sisters were even based off any of the showrunners like the original Charmed was on Connie and her sisters. So it isn't three sisters who happen to be witches but three witches who happen to be sisters, with all the new powers they already have, it really does seem like the supernatural aspect is more important. The relationship between the sisters is hardly important in this one. This is no Charmed Season 1 from 1998. Which made the sister's relationship important. Season 1 of the reboot felt like Charmed Season 4 and 5 to me.

Piper & Phoebe were better when they were written like how Connie had them. When the sisters were less based on Connie and her sisters and more like how Brad saw them, and when Holly and Alyssa became producers they were hardly the sisters we came to love anymore. Piper felt too much like Holly in S5-S8.

I so agree with you on so many levels. I feel similar to you on Piper. I always felt I was one of the very few who loved Piper, she always comes across as the beloved among fans, and I never got why. She is so unlikeable after Prue died, and her relationship with Leo ruined her, and I really wished she picked Dan, and got her normal life. If any sister had to die, I'd pick her in a heartbeat over the others. Because, I like the idea that Prue and Phoebe could close closer, and really I think the amount of drama and story potential for Phoebe to go evil, and Prue left all alone, with Paige. Would be so much fun.

Love these, and love seeing the original set being so friendly with each other. I so want dailies from S1 the most, especially the pilot.
