    Default Charmed

    Who watches Charmed? And by Charmed I mean the original that first air in 98, not the new show now playing on the CW network which I have yet to watch.

    I didn't watch Charmed when it was on TV, but I got into it at 2010. I was a fan of Alyssa Milano, but after a while I fell in love with all the characters. My favorite now has to be Piper Halliwell played by Holly Marie Combs. She did it all: mother, sister, wife, witch, fighter, hero, businesswoman. She had the whole pie and made it work. I couldn't think of a better character for women to look up to. Showing that you can have a family and a successful career.

    I don't know if I just had a personal disconnect with Shannon Doherty, but I much preferred the show when the third sister was swapped out.

    I also loved any episode about Cole. I like Dark Wyatt, Excalibur Piper, and the evil Charmed sisters.

    I actually wrote a fanfic (wait no, I didn't). In my head, I designed a fanart of Prudence dressed royally on a throne lifted via telekinesis; Phoebe levitating in red leather; Paige in white orbing upward, and Piper in black wielding excalibur (looking kind of like Paine from FF). The idea is inspired by my desire to see this setup in action but I could not articulate a decent plot to excuse it. I once tried to get black orb to draw this but he had a lot on his plate and never got around to it.

    I've also tried to hand-waive a crossover into Supernatural (and the Buffyverse), but fanservice is as fanservice does.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
