I'm currently on my 5th rewatch. Starting from Season 1. Despite its flaws, I love to see how this show evolves. The gloomy yet comical style of S1 to the dark and serious tone of S2, To S3 mixing both early seasons. Just too bad the writer focused more in the science fiction aspect of the show more so we only had a glimpse of how their relationship as sisters could have blossomed.
So I’m relistening to HOH and in episode one they talk about Shannen as Piper and Holly as Phobe. Drew asked if they had a Prue in mind/cast already and she says yes but won’t say who… do we know who that person was? I know when they swapped to Prue and Piper (respectivly) and they had an orginal Phobe and then it finally settled on Alyssa. Sorry if this has been asked/settled before.
TLDR:
Who was the orginally cast as Pure if not Shannen.
This is one of my favorite scenes because I love Mel and Harry having this kind of banter. Mel is really like “ugh not this mf again.” And Harry was such a dork( I understand he was supposed to be trying to insert himself into her life but this was not making it any less creepy) he was asking Mel to tell him over lunch or whatnot the reasons she doesn’t like him. I would have been like boy if you don’t get away from me 😂
So in the first season, the girl's dad comes back into their lives. I always wondered if their father was a warlock. A good one. The neighbors were trying to steal the book, but Prue was so angry at her dad.
They did a spell to vanquish the neighbors, but they made him put the ring on. If he didn't have that ring. Would it have killed him? If that is true then Victor is not fully human..
I have always thought that their father was a witch too. Besides this episode the one with the demonic ice cream man? I remember seeing Victor flick one of those kids.
It kinda makes sense that their father had some magic. It would also explain why he didn't say anything about his side of the family
I find her acting pretty basic most of the time, maybe not the terrible and definitely not the worst on the show but nothing special. But this scene to me was bad. It makes me always want to fast forward it when I rewatch. I always wonder if actors who are decent or good actors look at bad acting and feel the way the audience does when someone isn’t good at it 😂.
I love love love the reboot, but when I try to watch season one of the original series, I get really bored. Like very bored. And I want to like it, because I like the reboot so much, and I heard the original is amazing, but for some reason I just cannot love it that much. Any advice? When does it get better lol.
First I think the reason why she could never control her demonic side was because it wasn’t a singular consciousness that could morph and channel power from its demonic DNA and witch DNA like Abigail does.
Yes Abigail had problems with her demon side at first but I think that was because when her mom striped it away from her ,it was sort of like splitting a soul in half or something versus Macy who’s a product of demonic conversion sort like how vampirism works in Buffy.
Remember the Necromancer had a boss who destroyed her when she broke the contract deals. We were robbed of a really interesting story like of seeing who that boss was and how much of a hold it had on Macy since I don’t believe Macy and her demon side are two sides of the same coin.I think it was separate, a parasitic extension of the Necromancer boss.
It had to have been a high level demon,probably primordial like Alastair since fire power is very coveted and not to forget as well that Macy’s Demon side had access to multiple powers like the eye sight and the way she could understand demonic languages and sustain severe physical damage.Not to mention this demon was running an operation of turning people into demons for god knows how long.I doubt the Necromancer was his/Her only employee since she was down in Tartarus for a while and it seemed like she got her powers from him or her.
Would have been cool for the show to introduce a powerful female primordial boss lady demon.Think Mallory from Beauty in Black . Erase Abigail character and introduce a high level female demon vying for Demon Overlord who poses a real threat to the charmed ones because she can draw power from Macy and manipulate her demonic side if she ever tries to use her powers against her. It would have been an even better story like for it to take on a very toxic mother/daughter dynamic. Giving Macy the mom she never had -except it would have been a ruse to feed of the power of three and use Macy as a pawn to secure the Demon overlord position. The allure of the relationship beside the demonic connection is that she would have encouraged Macy to explore her dark side and to become
More comfortable feeling powerful.
