This was such a good Paige Centric Episode. Yet they screwed up a major growth point for her and for Sam by not bringing him around. They opened up the door for a great recurring storyline of Paige and Sam getting to know each other and Paige working through the abandonment issues that she spent so long trying to bottle up.
I honestly blame Brad Kern for this. The Sam and Paige bond storyline could've worked out if Constance M. Burge was still their Scriptwriter from seasons 5 to 8
It's a shame we didn't get to see more than a few episodes with Sam. He and Paige should have gotten more time to get to know each other and he should have been at her wedding with the rest of the family. It would have been even better to see Sam meeting and getting to know his granddaughters and grandson. Piper's kids and Phoebe's daughters would probably know him as Grandpa Sam, and the Halliwell-Matthews-Mitchell family would be truly complete... 😁🖤
I agree I think the writers made a stupid decision in not bringing him around more. They could have had at least had her going to see him off screen. Or even had it show that they keep in touch.
Laura Schoenborn Paige had abandonment issues how the writers took the show was perfect having seen how some adoptive kids feel paiges feelings are justified
Jaiden Lawrence I know Paige had abandonment issues. And I'm not saying they were not justified. She was dropped off at a church, and given up by the two people that love her the most in the world. However, there was room for the show to explore them and help her work through it. That’s why I wish Sam came around more. Being 1/2 of the people that gave her up at Birth, he could have helped her work through those abandonment issues. Instead they touched on it in season 5 but never did anything to help her work through them. Even sending her back in time to when she was born, it could have given her a bit more understanding of what went on in that time. They could have shown her the letters Patty wrote to Sam, or even found a baby picture they took with Paige before dropiing her off. There was so much they could have done with Paige and Sam's storyline, and they did nothing with it until season 8 when Sam helped Paige see how strong the whitelighter side of her is.
Yeah I mean they had to do that honestly if Shannen was still in the show Sam would have still been dead they had to do something to get Sam back to reunite with Paige it’s a beautiful thing
David Martin He only appears in the show a total of 3 times. Twice with Paige and then in the comics once. Paige has met Victor on screen more times than Sam lol I would've just loved a better bond or relationship. Like he could've taught her a lot and I feel it would've made for some good episodes.
BlackGirlMarvel I totally agree. Him only having an episode with Paige twice was a really bad move. They could have developed a strong bond. And could have learned a lot from each other. And honestly that relationship could have made each other stronger. In the Lost Picture Show he did help her to embrace her Whitelighter instincts, when he was captured by the demon forcing Paige to acknowledge the love she does feel for him, and the fact that he is in fact her father.
@@lauraschoenborn3544 Once a season from this point would have been acceptable. I would have put him in Carpe Demon in Season 7 to reconnect her with the destiny and ethics of whitelighter status in the immediate wake of Kyle becoming one despite all his misdeeds, and in Season 6 I would have brought him back in A Wrong Day's Journey into Right as a way for Paige to explore her magical morality in the immediate wake of Phoebe being stripped of her active powers for selfishness. Would have been a better storyline than that weird fake-man-summoning plot. (Later seasons of the show don't get much right when it comes to the sisters' lovelives: Henry is the only love interest any of the sisters have after Season 4 Cole who isn't in some way toxic. Ironic that someone who had became the Source should be held up as a shining example of healthy boyfriend material. Shame he was so toxic in Season 5. I guess the demonic powers screwed him up.)
Мне было бы интересно увидеть отношения Сэма и Пэтти, два разных человека и так сильно полюбить друг друга, они очень похожы на Пайпер и Лео, почему их всего один раз показывали в этом сериале, постоянно они отдельно друг от друга, это несправедливо.
That would have been a great spin off, prequel instead of the garbage they did for a revival. And I think Piper and Leo are meant to be a parallel to Sam and Patty.
In Charmed reboot Melanie Vera is Based on Piper Halliwell She is the maternal sister of Macy Vaughn and Margarita Vera. Her story Melanie Vera was born the first living child and second child of Marisol Vera after Marisol's stillborn daughter by Dexter Vaughn was resurrected by the necromancer Knansie and her parents raised her as an only child in the Manor in Hilltowne until Marisol had her third daughter with Dexter Vaughn They raised her child as their youngest daughter Margarita Vera Mel and Maggie called Marisol mom and Ray dad when Maggie was five, Ray left Marisol because her mother still loved Maggie's birth father Dexter Vaughn their mother raised her two daughters Mel and Maggie on her own and She grew up with one sister Maggie Vera. Mel can freeze time
Anybody know where I can find the soundtrack that plays underneath this dialog? I know it plays a few times in the series and I have no idea what it's called >:(
Unrelated but, Is anyone else puzzled by the fact that, even though she is a Charmed One, Paige is the only half white-lighter/half witch who didn't display both telekinesis and telekinetic orbing?
LloydSkyLion I think the only way to explain this is that Paige is a first generation charmed one. Her biological mother Patty and her biological father Sam were both magical but they were average. Being a charmed one is where the great power came along but that means she is a great witch with her sisters. Now Wyatt and Chris have other abilities because they are second generation charmed witches meaning they have both the great charmed abilities but also whitelighter abilities from their father Leo. When it comes to them being half-witch/half-whitelighter you have to take into account that they aren’t just any witches they are the offspring of one of the most powerful witches so it makes more sense you identify them as half-whitelighter/half-charmed. I hope that helps
@@raymondjoseph6440 She does display that somewhat. She can move Objects with her mind and orb them over to her or away from her. She does have telekinesis.
I think it's because Paige, not being an original Charmed One, had her charmed power filtered through her pre-existing whitelighter powers, whereas Piper's kids got both their witch and whitelighter powers at the same time. If Prue had survived, Paige would either never have been a witch, or would have developed powers that were not inherently charmed powers. But whitelighter was always part of who she was.
Yeah but he didn’t want to become a Whitelighter no more cause he was happy being reunited with Patty in season 2 they made him a Whitelighter and he really didn’t want that they only did it so he could reunite with Paige
Tu patrón he proved himself to the Elders and they made him a whitelighter again and he couldn't handle it once he found out that Paige found her sisters and her destiny cause he didn't want her to end up like Patty.
@BlackGirlMarvel I thing he stated he lost another charge in the episode. He was going to say “i never got over losing your mother” before Piper mentioned his daughter. It startled him when she said it, b/c he had no idea she even knew about Paige. I think it was the compounding guilt of giving Paige up, losing Patty, and losing the other charge that made him fall off the radar.
