Prue and Piper, Held

"CHARMED" Retrospect: (4.01-4.02) "Charmed Again"


I just watched the two-part Season 4 premiere, (4.01-4.02) "Charmed Again". I rather liked the first half, which culminated with Paige becoming a Charmed One and the sisters vanquishing Shax. I found the second half of the story to be . . . well, rather badly written. But to give you a picture of my feelings about this episode, I made a list of what I deem as "problems":

1) Why had Grams, Patty and Sam believed that it was necessary to hide Paige's identity from the Elders? Okay, I understand that Sam would not want to find himself in trouble...
