Agreed. Surely they didn’t use all the P names available to them the first time around? Was there a Priscilla? Or a Penelope? Those seem better than reusing Paige.

Why are they reusing the name Paige? Wasn’t that McGowens character’s name? Also, if it’s not about three sister witches or the Halewells (however they spell it) why not just advertise this as a new show as opposed to a reboot? Strange.

Early Cole episodes 4eva. Like, pre-him becoming The Source and his hair getting weird. Which were presumably unrelated.

3 witches living in New England you say?

Y’all. That sleeveless mock turtleneck (what climate is that meant for!?!?) is confirming a fear I’ve had since reading this article about the first season of the Bachelor: were we ALL wearing awful turtlenecks throughout most of the early 2000s but we’ve wiped our memories clean of that fashion trauma? Are they going…

Nope! I’m tired of TV being nothing but nostalgia for Gen X childhoods. We’re turning into the new Baby Boomers, constantly shoving our teenage relics in everyone’s faces. I’m boycotting all of these things, even the less wretched ones.

What about Paige?

Part of what gave Charmed its charm for me is it was unafraid to have a bit of camp to it. The show never aspired to be particularly good about plots, and its complexity was almost entirely an accident, but it was still a fun watch.

Ha! Exactly. I appreciate the feminist angle. I have a brother and a sister, both married with teenage children, and both in another state. All I have to do is spend a holiday with them to know that for me, single is the preferred status at this juncture. I find the lack of boundaries between spouses, parents and…

Early 30s here, I’ve realized over the past few years that I don’t particularly want romantic relationships anymore.. Personally, I’m quite happy with my single life. I like doing my own thing, I like the peace and quiet of not having to stress about someone else or share space. I like the loving relationships I have…

I’m just a lowly almost-30-year-old, but I think one of the most useful things my retired dad ever told me was “the only people my age who actually still need to work for money are people who have been divorced”. I realize that’s a fairly privileged outlook and there are lots of people both single and married who have…

A friend of mine who shares my chronically single status once said that whenever she starts feeling bad about being alone, she spends more time hanging out with her heterosexual female friends who are married or living with their significant others. Their stories about being the primary…

I have a friend of 17 years who is 53 now. It is only in the last couple of years that she seemed to feel comfortable with not pretending that she was looking for someone. As you say, she has made a life in the company of friends, family, pets and herself.

Samsies. I took myself off the market when I realized I didn’t want to marry or have any LTR romantic relationship. Dating was simply more trouble than it was worth. Friends, family, pets, and my own self is perfectly satisfactory.

Except Aimee doesn’t sound happy about it at all. She sounds miserable as hell, like being alone is not something she wants but something she must get used to. Resigned to her fate so to speak.

Nothing wrong with being alone, nothing.

What is it with other people being so goddamn shitty about other people lives and their lifestyle choices? These are the same people who can’t imagine a married couple being childless by choice. Not everyone wants the same things in life but that doesn’t mean their lives are without content.

Yeah, kids are a pain in the ass but if you sign on to be a teacher, it’s kind of a job requirement not to lose your gawd damned mind and start screaming hate speech at them. Really bad form.

A lot of young idealistic people head into the inner cities with the idea that they can use reason, persuasion, and a demonstration of their own love of learning to get kids to take an interest in school. Unfortunately, it usually doesn’t work. Most teachers get spit out after several years or, like this one, wind up…
