Hey, if we all agreed on everything, it would be no fun, right?
But, I'll tell you what I love most about Paiglenn. Paige actually acts her age with him. Like in the VDay ep, she acted 26 (yes?), and not like she's in her thirties. Paige is young and we never saw that on Charmed. Phoebe, we had S1&2 of her as the youngest. But Paige never really acted her age in the show, only with Glenn around in S4 - two eps. It's nice to see her being 26.

I absolutely LOVE that ending. |

I like Paige when she's more mature and Phoebe as a little child because Alyssa can pull it off, I think Rose is just a very mature actress.
But not saying that Alyssa isn't. I love them both. ;D

That's the thing, in the real series Paige was Rose McGowan, here on CRR we've brang out the side of Paige Matthews we rarely saw. And also by keeping Cole around but by also not progressing their relationship too much, we've kept baby sister Phoebe around.
But also by making Prue find love again (even if it broke her heart) she's grew as a character.

Prue does need some lovin' in her life.
And, yeah, Phoebe still is the baby and Paige is still mature when it comes to work and Charmed duties, but when she's taking a break from both, she needs to act her age and have fun. And that's what Glenn represents. Some sanity in her chaotic life.

Can't u see how sad is Prue on Valentine's Day in the last scene at Andy's grave? And it was my absolute favorite scene in the entire episode. I'm a Pandy diehard.  I like Paige when she's more mature and Phoebe as a little child because Alyssa can pull it off, I think Rose is just a very mature actress. And I agree with that. I also really liked Responsible Paige. Actually, one of my favorite moments was when Paige challenged Piper for the role of Head Witch. (It's awful that I can't remember which episode it was in, but I'm pretty sure it was S5 when Piper was pregnant.) I think it all goes back to how Paige was an only child. I think Es said it best when she said that as an only child, Paige is both the youngest and the oldest, and thus takes on traits of both. However, when Responsible Paige dominates Youthful Paige, I also miss Youthful Paige. She was just so fun and cute with Glenn in AKTR and TBM. It's what makes me love Paiglenn so much. *squee* Noogie! ;D |

5x11 was so great, my favourite episode so far! I loved the inclusion of Coop - wondering if we'll see him again soon. I really love Matt and I bet if I saw him I'd love him. Drake sounds nicer now although I don't know him very well - I did think he was evil but he sounds like Cole now. I especially loved the twist near the end - reminded me of the last episode of Friends. I have a suspicion about Matt which I've had for a while and now it would make even more sense if it was correct - I'll wait and see if I'm right or not. If it's true it would be using one of the ideas used in the TV series (but not in S5) which isn't a bad thing.

If that was the point, why u still can't bring Andy back into Prue's life? Everyone knows that nobody could take over Andy in Prue's heart.
It's hurt me when her sisters have their own lives (husband and boyfriends) but not herself.

But she was just in a relationship. Sometimes people need breaks between relationships.

What relationships that were supposed to happen? Piper is still with Leo just like she was in S3, just like in the original S5, and just like she ended the series. Phoebe is still with Cole. The same relationships they came into S4 with. At this point in the original S5 she hadn't even met Coop. Her last almost relationship was with that boring guy who's only remarkable feature was his big honking nose.
As for Prue well being she was dead after S3, and ended S3 not in a real relationship, but dating random men, well that's pretty much where she is again so how is that different? Unless you are referring to the fact that she isn't with Andy? Andy is dead. He's been dead since the end of season 1. That's not our doing.
Sure we could have had a whitelighter Andy appear and live happily-ever-after with Prue, but seriously isn't that a bit too predictable? Too easy? Not to mention that the whitelighter loves a witch angle has been done before. As much as everyone may love Prandy the CRR staff definitely included (which is why we've taken care to ensure his memory has not been forgotten by Prue or her sisters.), him orbing down into her arms is the stuff of tween fan fiction and romantic one-shots where it's already been done to death, not in an original virtual series with long term aspirations that wants to be taken seriously.
Back to the original issue:
The only sister left is Paige, at this point in S5 Paige like Prue also wasn't in a lasting relationship. We are however near the time of the original Season 5 episode House Call when she decided she wanted a more than friends relationship with Glenn. So pretty much the only thing we changed is that this time he was available. So if at point of her life Paige chose Glenn over Henry (which is still a good 3 years before she even met Henry in the original series.) does that really mean she and Glenn will be together the rest of the series? NO. She could end up with Henry, She could end up with Drake. She could end up with Kyle. (Okay, she probably won't end up with Kyle.) But she could end up with someone you haven't even met yet. Whose to say who any sister other than Piper will end up with? Anything could happen before CRR airs it's series finale X number of seasons in the future.
What I can say is that when we started working on CRR one of our biggest goals was a sense of realism. First a realism in terms of characters and how they act, react, grow, and staying true to who we've seen them to be before S4. But we also wanted a sense of realism in terms of how a lasting television show works. What that mean is that if anyone expects everything to just fall into happily ever after for all the sisters, or
for there to ever be a status quo established in this series, then I have to say you are probably going to be disappointed. That's rarely how television works, and even more rarely how life work.
It's full of lots of unexpected twists and turns. So you can definitely expect CRR to shake things up over they years. If you have a closed mind about characters, relationships, or changes from what you know or "expect" then viewer beware!
As in life people will come and go from their lives, relationships will begin and end, and each sister will experience moments of pure bliss and happiness, but other times they'll have to endure moments of great sadness or grief. That is reality, and that will be Reality Reset.
So the last thing I'm going to say is that we do want to hear your opinions about the series and what we are doing. We do understand the value of feedback. While we do have a loose plan and ideas for the future of the series so that we always have direction, very few details are actually set in stone. We will take well thought out feedback and criticism into consideration.
That means if you want to help us then provide solid reasoning and evidence for your criticisms. Saying you just don't like a character or how they are acting is not helpful without providing some kind of concrete reason why. The more specific the more evidence of something you can cite from the episode scripts themselves the better the chance that we can respond with an explanation, a clarification, or a change if it's needed.

What personal gain are you referring to? I've reread the Paiglenn scene five times (and FYI, it's a travel service drawing, not the lottery) and nowhere in that scene does she use, or is about too use, magic. The only other scene that Glenn is "in" is when he calls her on the phone and she's in here car, and again, no magic.
If you're talking about her chronokinetic power, when did she use that for personal gain? She used it once to free herself from the portal that Tall Man sucked her into and once during breakfast, which was accidentally, because she didn't even know she had the power. (And seeing as how she couldn't control it, and didn't know about it anyway, that can't be considered her fault.)

During the drawing bit, Glenn said "I think we've got a good chance of winning" and Paige smiles. I presumed this was that she's going to make sure they win by personal gain. I guess it's just how it came off.
