YES!!!! Totally agreed!!! Although Zelda was my favorite of the aunts. I've never been all that much of one for comedies, but I wanted to be like Zelda. I've always had a great respect for graceful brainaics. :)
It actually took growing up and finding my own hubby before I could really appreciate all Harvey and Sabrina went through. Back when the show was on, most of their moments were just distractions from Salem. :) But then they put Josh in there, and I SO wanted Harvey back! LOL
The one Charmed I tried to read very quickly pissed me off, tbh. I have NO idea which one it was, but they couldn't even get their powers right! That's just pure lazy, sloppy writing! I honestly don't understand why there are so many authors getting paid good money to write characters they barely know. I saw this in Charmed back then, and am seeing it far too often in certain comic book series these days. My husband's a big Star Wars fan, and he absolutely HATES what they've done with the cannon there. I myself was very griped at an X-Men issue recently (actually from last year, but it just came into my possession recently) where they completely messed up a pivotal first meeting. I often feel like we fanfic writers put more care and consideration into our stories than the paid authors do!
I've read both good BtVS and Angel and bad. The last Spike book I tried to read ended up being well worth the journey, but took me over a year to push through. Hubby just gave me a new Spike book as one of my anniversary presents this year. I just finally got a chance to start it, and am happy to report almost 50 pages in and DEFINITELY agreeing. Hoping to get it completed in time to make it my final review for this lovely celebration. *fingers crossed!*
Looking forward to your Charmed review, and THRILLED there are others doing such books for this! :)
