Charmed 2018

Does anyone want to discuss episode two. It was this line actually that brought me here "I'm a scientist, *eye roll* I can speak latin" hold up, like what? somebody trained in the humanities and in academia yes, a scientist is usually you know studying science and not dead languages? gawd, ok make her a grab bag "smart stuff" good thing I just happened to be eating doritos to go with this cheesy show. But I guess someone needs to read latin.

Its early and the first episode or season will have its growing pains. I think it will be good for what it is, a cheesy tween show about superpowers. I still dislike topical speak, like come on, brexit, so lazy.

A large part of modern science comes from that dead language. You'd be surprised how many people in science (and medicine) know- at least some- latin.
 
There are many occupations that require a knowledge of Latin, such as the knowledge of flowers and plants in general. But they don't know the language Latin; what has that got to do with the show?
I saw the 2nd episode last night, well I saw most of it.

I was under the belief that they had grown up as sisters, so why does it appear that they treat it as a new concept, they are not behaving as a family.
The show seems to be about the sisters having to decide who they should trust most, their whitelighter or an Ouija board. I mean really, are they that thick, they didn't even bother to find out if the board told then the truth. In the end the sisters learn to trust the whitelighter. As if there was a probability that they should trust the alternative, given that the girls are meant to be the Charmed ones, reasonably intelligent people, why are they shown to be such idiots. To reach a decision of what to do the girls decided it is okay to reach a majority vote (2-1) excuse me, do you know you are meant to be the Charmed Ones?

And what of the questionable dress sense, that tall one wore trousers that were inches below her knees and a heavily chequered top, the term weirdo comes to mind.
In the original series Prue, Paige, Piper and Phoebe wore trousers that were a few inches above the ankles. They had fashion sense.
 
Come now little one, don't hold back tell us what you really think.

It is as if all scriptwriters went to the same school, the one that taught students how to write badly and how to get the subject wrong. Where in the belief of witchcraft do the beings whitelighters come from?
Once was the leader of a coven may have been referred to just by the term High Priest or High Priestess, but it is that a coven can be one or thirteen people. What is most likely is that the show has been contaminated by the christian religion and that whitelighters are Angels as are the elders.
That is funny as the effect of the whitelighter leaving seems to be demonic.

So lets have some fun, who will be Cole is this series I suggest David Duchovny (Fox from X-Files and a Donald Trump look-a-like as the source)
