Episode 1.06 Kappa Spirit Discussion Thread

Airs tomorrow night...

Okay, something fishy is going on here. As we saw in the last episode, Macy was born in November 1990. Marisol could NOT have been pregnant with her in 1989 -- November 1990 minus 9 months equals February 1990, not 1989.

Either something's up with Macy's birth certificate or Marisol had a miscarriage before she became pregnant with Macy.

...........

I really loved the Vera-Vaughn "sister initiation" at the end of the episode. So cute, especially after they invited Harry in. You can tell that they really see him as a big brother.

...........

Anyone feel that The Haunt is going to be this show's Quake/P3? The sisters needed an end-of-episode meeting place.

So what is this darkness in Macy?  How does this tie in with something being wrong with the pregnancy that past Marisol had?

What was that key that Macy found at the end all about?

The shape shifter steals a sample of Macy's blood.  However, did he have to kill that guy?  Murder attracts way too much attention.

I hope we're done with that sorority house stuff.  Maggie deserves better than those snobs. 

Poor Mel really is having a hard time getting over Nico.  At least she has her sisters to help her.

I loved that scene too.  And this shows that the sisters consider Harry a true friend as well.  He won''t be the doormat that Leo became.

Yeah, that is the feeling I get as well.

This was an alright episode but I would've preferred the innocent to have been someone unknown and not the Kappa head captain.

I think Harry not being their Whitelighter anymore after only 6 episodes is a bit quick. I thought he'd have been that for a year at least before he left but I did like his interaction with the sisters and the initiation thing at the end.

So will Harry still work at the university then or will someone replace him?

Obviously, the Haunt is the Quake, P3 type hang out place there.

And I do agree with the birth date mistake up on Macy unless like Betty said her certificate was doctored or something.

So she's possibly the dark sister then meaning her father could be the Source or someone amongst his ranks perhaps.

Someone at the cafe mentioned they'd heard that Hilltown might sit on their own type of Hellmouth hence why evil often surrounds it a blatant rip-off of Buffy which I'm not sure I'd like if that were true but did wonder with Macy's blood sample at the end whether the shapeshifter took it to use it as part ingredient to either A: Open the Hellmouth there B: Summon her father if she is dark. Or C: Control her then.

Of course, he's still gonna be part of their lives.  He's become a real friend to the sisters.

They do seem to be leading up to something with Macy.  I wonder what it could be?  Could her yet-to-be-revealed father be a demon (shades of Cole).

Good episode, but I'm sorry the issues with Macy's birth-date I have a problem with. The writers really need to be careful and not Kern this show. It has been six episode, and they have changed her birth date 3 times.

In Sweet Tooth, she is stated to be 28. In the very next episode, her profile states she is born on November 27, 1990. Then this week, her mother is pregnant with her in 1989. So she has to be older than she appeared. But sorry, the writers messed up here, and these sort of things bug me so much in shows.


As for Harry, I took it that he is just moved out of the house. He isn't leaving guys. Remember they had him in the house because the book was gone with the Elders, so he had to be around them to help out closer to home. Now that they have the book back, Harry can leave and remember he had a hard time leaving because he liked living with them. He'll be back as normal next week. No need to panic.

Also looks like Niko is gone, her actress is no longer credited as a regular. And we know Parker is joining as a regular soon, as it was reported. I have to say, I'm not liking that they replaced the only female supporting cast member with a white male. No offense, but apart from Harry, Niko was the only supporting character I like. I don't care for Galvin, and I don't care about Parker full-time. Bring back Niko.

I love how the mother is so important, that we keep seeing her used in a way that isn't a spirit. So refreshing, and we are seeing her used the way the original failed to do, outside of That Seventies Episode and Pre-Witched. I got bored to death with the ghosts. Okay, the only exceptions were Piper's wedding and maybe Wyatt and Chris Wiccanings, but the rest should have been ditched.

Or did someone falsify the birth record for some reason.  Who did that?  And if so, why?

Yeah, Harry isn't going anywhere.   Of course, he'll be around when they need him, plus I can see him hanging with the sisters as a friend.

[Melinda Halliwell]

I would prefer Niko back rather than Galvin and Parker too. It's what I liked about Andy originally his relationship with the sisters have grown up with them and his interaction with Darryl as a cop and friend. Plus the fact when he fought out they were witches, in the end, I liked how Andy helped them, for example, finding Leo's charge Daisy when the Whitelighter was hurt. Had he stayed beyond season 1 Andy would've been civilian support for the sisters and tipped them off, or about anything potentially supernatural related that passed his way which Niko could've done too had she known and accepted Mel, Maggie, and Macy also then.

[Tim]

Well, Niko could return.  At least they didn't kill her off. 

On this Charmed, death actually counts.
