  1. Finally watching the episode and its about time we get some damn good action scenes!
  2. Ceasars introduction into Xena was so good and making him part of her origin into a Warrior Princess was fab. Could Karl Urban be any hotter? I wish we had gotten more of M'Lila and a longer journey towards her teaching Xena how to become the warrior we know. The design team putting Xenas breast plate design on her shirt was such a fantastic move. If we ever get a reboot, I would definitely give her more time as one of Xenas many teachers. That whole block of episodes is one of the best strings of episodes the show ever did. Velasca was a great two episode villain and one I wouldnt have minded to see more of. Im pretty sure I had a Velasca action figure as a child.
  3. Xenas 'Miss Amphipolis" was the original Miss Congeniality and way ahead of its time for hiring trans actress to play a trans character.
  4. Finally started my rewatch two weeks ago and just finished up S1. Still very enjoyable, Xena did a lot of things that the show doesnt get the praise for. *The funny thing about Xena/Hercules is that they had plenty of diverse characters throughout the run. Something that im sure many didnt bat an eye at during their original runs, compared to present day where there'd probably be so many people saying the show was being "woke" The evolution of Gabrielle in the first season is very fun to watch from annoying little Bard to the start of warrior bard.
  5. Holly/Brian/Drew started a Charmed podcast going over past episodes. House of Halliwell.
  6. Yeah not surprising. They clearly dont care that much about "ratings" since YJ was at the very top of streaming for Max originals.
  7. I find it interesting that Andy is having Brandi back on WWHL so soon after her previous appearance (what? 2 weeks ago?). Im not expecting a Tamra but she must've done something right on Girls Trip to be on WWHL with nothing to promote.
  8. I dont put to much stock into the cousins bit that the Halliwells drop since as we saw with "Aunt"gail....she wasn't their real aunt, just an honorary one. For all we know the others felt more like cousins even if they werent officially. We know the Warren Witches moved around since Brianna Warren took part in the Crimean War and that took place in the Ottoman Empire, United Kingdom, Piedmont-Sardinia, and France. Not to mention that Melinda was burned on the stake....why would whoever took her in and raised her stay in Salem after that? They would've gotten far away for their safety. As far as Patty/Leo/other witches (I hate that episode) being so open with magic in the 60s? Probably because everyone around them was high all the time off so mortals thought they were just hallucinating. When I was rewatching S1 and they took witches seriously who were being killed, they had so many good options for one of them to survive and be a friend to the girls, teaching them more traditional wicca.
  9. Yeah it never made sense that you had a hit show on your hands, come off of a successful S4 that was a major change for the audience and you.....decide to change the shows tone in S5? Kern and company really showed that they were over the lead up to The Source and taking the show in a serious/darker direction so they rushed to tie up all those loose ends. Even things such as The Warrens, S1-3 we found out more about the family lineage, were introduced to new family members and by S4 they stop all of that.
  10. I'm rewatching S2 again.....and it just popped into my mind that the cousins were VICIOUS and were willing to kill P.Russell (Phoebe) due to her turning to the dark side along with CURSING her so she/Anton couldn't reunite and become a power-couple....flashfoward 2 years and Phoebe is back in love with a demon and about to become a power-couple with him... Had Prue survived S3 this would've been SUCH a perfect storyline to revisit and call back to in Long Live the Queen. Would Prue/Piper be able to kill their sister like their past lives were able to kill their cousin in order to save the greater good? Dealing with that would've been amazing. Of course they would've found a way to ultimately save her soul but I think it would've been dark/cool if they at least had to curse her somehow again...in a new way before being able to bring her back to the light. Also while the the show wasnt perfect with representation, they were still way ahead of the game compared to other 90s hits (Friends/Buffy) with how well integrated the background and supporting guest characters were that it felt like the real world. If they had incorporated Shelia eariler to help out Darryls characterization, more POC as innocents and dates, it would've been pretty good.
  11. Nope. We still dont know if its renewed or canceled. Greg says S4 has had the best ratings yet so.....we'll see.
  12. The Legion come to play this season and are part of the overarching storyline from beginning to end. Wallys still dead and Jason is still a mystery.
  13. At this point....I find this show really boring and after 8 years....I just continue to watch because im used to it. I dont know how many times we can play this same game with Reverse Flash. This time they didnt choose love to save the day, they chose meditation.....guess that's a change? It was predictable in just about every way.
  14. One of those plays a MAJOR role in this season. The other 2....not much happens on those fronts. If you want to know which...let me know.
  15. Meh, it wasn't a horrible finale but i was expecting more? Everything wrapped up in a bow. Everyone's happy. I was hoping at least Jonathan would've gotten permanently merged. Ali is locked up just like Tal was last season. I fight was great but between that and the big reveal...ok. Not sure why we need both Diggles running around on both shows, he got a pretty completed story over on Arrow. The constant "only heroes on this earth" thing each show does kills me. Sure it ups the stakes but i want metas, i want WW, even Aquaman would be good with Clark creating a fortress in the middle of no where ocean.
  16. So Allegra and Cecile got power ups so they could help take on the Speed Force gods or whatever....ok. It's always nice to see the twins but at this point all of this seems repetitive.
  17. This has been the most annoying feud since the series began. Why a writer from the original series had to give their 2cents when the reboot finally tried to embrace their origin...is beyond me.
  18. I think if they managed to get ANY of the OGs back, they would've had a lot of say in their characters portrayals. But just imagine if 3/4 said 'sure, we'll do it'....they cant even budget for music or special effects...how were they going to afford any of them? CBS gonna give them some extra bucks for it? As far as Macy...I think the season would've largely been the same with the overarching plot of the magical community turning against them.
  19. I was legit thinking of that episode today. I may pop in my blu-ray and watch it again. The threats being human was a good storyline and something that Piper would've easily abused her powers against by s8 of the show.
  20. The Diggle of it all was funny, lame, ridiculous, overall bad. There was zero reason to bring him back just to give us "I choose family over this mysterious box that I've been dealing with 2.5 years" I cringed throughout all of it. Nice seeing Ray but also didnt get why we needed to see him and just regress him to a joke. Cecil leveling up also NOT needed. Why do we need her to join the battle after all these years? But I guess its a step up from "I FEEL THEIR FEAR!" that we get everytime she is around?
  21. Yeah but she sued CBS in 2011. It had nothing to do with her original time with the show.
  22. Billies hair is so bad at times during S8...and Rose really phones in majority of her performances each episode. And why the hell is there a student in 'Magical School' thats been deserted and taken over by Demons since S7? They made Christie into a fire starter and completely fail at connecting her to The Source. They had an entire episode about how they steal kids with fire powers and recruit them to be The Sources personal bodyguards. There is such a good story there. In Generation Hex they try to do a Cathouse and Phoebe/Coop arent even looking in the right direction lol
  23. Phoebe lying to her Prue/Piper didnt change her forever. She was the reckless sibling who made mistakes and it was very in line with the character. I love Constance but she certainly wasnt the end all be all for every decision. She wanted to keep the show very monster of the week instead of transitioning to more of a serialized storytelling. Even Shannen was growing bored with the way the show was going by the end of S2 and wanted it to be darker and essentially more like Buffy. Sadly she's remained very silent on the show and her thoughts on it after she left (I wish someone would do an in-depth interview with her) but she/Kern evened each other out and it definitely never recovered when he got full control in S5.
  24. Repo Manor has to be one of the dumbest episodes and really showed that the writers did not understand The Power of 3. The vanquish was also stupid with the 3 demons just standing there staring at Billie as she reads a spell.
