Why a "Charmed" Reboot Is A Bad Idea

Brace yourself. The power of three is coming back.

Charmed fans rejoice! Or... not? The rumors of a reboot have finally been confirmed, and fans are conflicted, to say the least. Charmed was my entire childhood, and while I loved the show, I have several reasons for thinking why a reboot is a bad idea. Honestly, I'm terrified that people in the cooperate world are only making the reboot because they think it will make money (more than likely the reason), and I don't want to see my favorite show ruined because they were trying to follow the "reboot trend".

1. Reboots Need a Reboot

The idea of rebooting a beloved show seemed great with shows like Fuller House and Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, but maybe they should end there? As much as I love Gilmore Girls, the reboot was disappointing and didn't have a great chance of meeting my expectations.

2. The Original Cast

Or more like a lack-there-of. When the reboot was announced, fans were thrilled with the idea of seeing their favorite characters gracing our screens once more, but when it was made clear that there would be a new cast, the excitement kind of died down.

3. Reboot? Prequel? Reboot-Prequel?

Honestly, it seems like no one really knows what's going on. First it was a reboot, then it was a prequel, now it's a separate series? Are they even calling it "Charmed"? No one knows for sure.

4. Not With a Bang, But With a Fizzle

The idea of a Charmed reboot sounded amazing before it was a prequel/ separate series without the original series. It's not what the fans wanted, and without the fans, it's not going to do so well.

Charmed fans never thought something like this would happen, but now that it is, we're just praying they don't screw it up. My fingers are crossed that this really does go well, though. Like I said earlier, Charmed was (and still is) my favorite show, and I would seriously hate to see it ruined by a reboot that tried to hard or missed the idea that is Charmed completely.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
