Nostalgia hits me and I'm lovin' it

[starsthatshine]

I'm back from dad's now which means I will be able to flist some. Yay! Missed you all much.

I saw an episode of Charmed yesterday (I borrowed season three and four from a friend a few weeks ago, those are also my favourite seasons) and I was hit with this pang of nostalgia. Charmed was so... good once, you know? I mean, it was so unbelievably awesome with the sister relation in the centre of the show (but then somewhere in season five it was all about babies or something) and then of course, Cole ♥ I heart Cole. My first fangirl crush and Phoebe/Cole is my first OTP (forever, yo) and... things were just awesome back then. When I watch an episode I get this feeling of how I was when I watched this show with my sister.

I used to know every episode name by heart (as I know Buffy's) and it was such a gigantic part of my childhood.

Blegh, now I have ads again. Have I mentioned how much I hate ads? No? Well, now it's screwing up my layout and is making my layout 800 px wide or something instead of 750 px, as it's supposed to be. Oh well... It's kind of funny how you always forget when your paid account expires.

I'm so going to make Charmed icons today :D Like I said = me heart that show. And just because I'm in the mood:
Favourite sister: Phoebe. Favourite relationship: Phoebe/Cole. Second favourite relationship: Phoebe/Leo (okay, that never happened but what if ;)). Favourite episodes (not all but some): Sleuthing with the Enemy, The Demon Who Came From The Cold (I just saw it so therefore it's on the list), Enter the Demon, Brain Drain, Black as Cole, A Paige From The Past, Long Live the Queen ♥ etc.

I liked Phoebe/Cole. I thought they were cute, even with the whole "I'll pretend I'm someone I'm not" for a while. But still, cute. Yeah, I suppose it was imaginative. The different storylines they had each week were creative, if ridiculous at time. But I suppose that was the appeal of it to some, seeing what they could get away with and how they dealt with it. :D

What are you referring to?

True true, but if you look at for example Supernatural, I think you can see that there was a certain energy in Charmed that I think is lost these days in any kind of show. Charmed was sort of larger than life in a way and it just had that energy and feel to it that I think a lot of shows have lost. Sure, sometimes it didn't have it but if you look overall I think you can see it was there.

Like when Phoebe and Cole first met, I mean. Or that's how I remember it, it's been a while since I've seen it so I could be wrong.

That is very true. Though these days the majority of shows are either reality or of the medical/cop variety. Very little are of the supernatural/scifi genre that has the chance to create or experiment that energy and feel, and whenever it does (like SPN) it often gets overlooked. But while Charmed did get goofy here and there it did set an example much like other shows (Buffy, Angel, etc.) for series there are today (Supernatural, Heroes, Doctor Who, Torchwood, LOST, etc.)
