Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Thanks to the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States in November 2016, angry liberal Hollywood, still unable to accept the will of American voters, is dusting off and bringing back a television show from the 1990’s. This time it is the show devoted to witchcraft and female empowerment on the old WB network, titled Charmed (http://forums.previously.tv/topic/12326-all-episodes-talk-charmed-and-wiccan/?page=6). Since it's 2018, the three sisters can no longer be white and one of them has to be a lesbian, apparently.
In the reboot's pilot episode on October 14, sisters Maggie (Madeleine Mantock) and Mel (Melonie Diaz) are reunited with their long-estranged oldest sister, Macy (Sarah Jeffery), after the death of their mother, a very powerful witch. Bringing the sisters together was the doing of their mother’s witchcraft. When she was murdered, she was in the process of unbinding each girl’s special power that she bound at their births.
So, the girls have discovered for the first time they are witches, each in possession of a distinct power. Maggie, the kind-hearted one, has the power to read minds; Mel, the feminazi militant, has the power to freeze time; and Macy, the smart science nerd can move things with her mind. They come under the mentorship of Harry Greenwood (Rupert Evans), a Whitelighter. He advises and guides witches. He, too, has powers.
As Harry gathers the girls together to tell them what is going on, he explains by producing their mother’s Book of Shadows. This tome holds the information necessary for them to learn about witchcraft. Harry doesn’t know who killed their mother but goes into an explanation of a prediction in the Book of Shadows – that of the coming apocalypse. There are three signs and he begins with the first sign – complete with a slap at President Trump, of course.
