The new look power of 3!!, December 4, 2005
Well it's all change in the `Charmed' world now. I admit to not having high hopes after such a big character change, the top billed star leaving - how can you make up for that?
I'm happy to admit I was wrong. As much as I love Shannen Doherty, new cast member Rose McGowan is kick-ass. The younger half-sister is the daughter of a witch and White-lighter, so her power is a mix of Prue's and the `orbing' abilities of a White-lighter.
Also the main men Leo and Cole are given bigger roles so there is a huge character growth all round for everyone.
I've tried to keep the more personal aspects out of the episode summaries.
Charmed Again (Part 1)
Charmed Again (Part 2)
After Prue's funeral Piper and Phoebe get the shock of their lives when they find out they have a younger sister Paige, the daughter of their Witch mother and her White-lighter lover. But what will Paige think of the Halliwell's danger filled world?

The Power of Three continues..., January 28, 2006
I have to admit at first I was not happy with Rose McGowan playing Paige Matthews. I swore to never watch the show again! But after a couple years of being stubborn I have watched season 4 and really enjoyed it. Paige brought a whole new perspective to the show. To me she has a lot of Prue's charateristics...very independant and always trusts her instincts. How many times did Prue have instincts that Piper and Phoebe didn't believe? Paige is the same way...especially when it came to Cole, Prue never trusted him either. In episode 16 when Phoebe confronts Paige about not liking/trusting Cole...Paige is honest and tells her the truth and then both Piper and Phoebe walk off leaving Paige by herself and Cole has really turned into the Source! That drove me crazy! Then in epsisode 5 Size Matters, Paige had bad feelings about that house and Piper didn't believe her.
But one of my favorite episodes is episode 3 Hell Hath No Fury, Piper is still battling the loss of Prue and trying to accept Paige as her new sister...ends up turning into a Fury. Leo and Paige orb her to Prue's grave forcing her to "let go" and try to move on with her life. Very touching and emotional episode especially at the end when Piper goes to Paige's work to make up for trying to kill her...leaves telling her boss "Paige is my sister".
All in all season four is just as good as seasons 1 - 3. Even with such a drastic character change the show is obviously doing well they are on it's 8th season now!
