I stopped watching charmed reboot when they pulled that bs on Niko. Plus, I hate the vibe the 2nd season has, and hacy…I’m not a hacy hater,but the show has been over taken by their potential relationship and I’m just not here for that. They had me the entire first season,but no mas, they messed with my fav girl, Niko and I’m just not gonna support a show that lies and distroys perfectly good qwoc relationships.

Well, Katrina (the new love interest) is also a QWOC, but I take your point. As soon as they said last season that they were going in this new direction, it was worrisome, like, obviously nobody wants bad plots for a show, but for them to make such a point about how they’re going to focus more on that, it showed such a shift in priorities. Like, they had intricate plots last season, so they’re going to increase that even more and take away time from…? 

And now it’s come to fruition. I mean, when was the last time the three sisters had a heart to heart? Last season it was all the time, Harry was still there, it was a family of four, but now it’s split into two, Macy and Harry on the one side and Mel and Maggie on the other. 

And them cutting out what they spent the first season building, Niko, Gal, even Parker, it’s…kind of disrespectful. To the previous writers and actors but also to us. We liked that, we were the audience who watched from the start, why are they removing it and for what? To appeal to who?

Girl I’m sorry I gotta ask you another question I just saw a clip idk from where but Mel froze time but niko was moving like was that always like that orrr and they mentioned she moved mels hair when she waved and that could be a sign niko has powers and will stay for season 2

Hmm, there is a bit where Mel gives Niko a magic ring so she’s impervious to her powers and can move around but I don’t remember anything about that second thing. I don’t think it’s from s2, though, Ellen Tamaki hasn’t shown any signs of being in it–which, of course, that could be to hide spoilers, but then surely this other clip wouldn’t be out?

And another anon:

I feel so bad for your Niko loving anon lol. I’m a huge Niko and Melko fan myself,so I can totes feel that pain. They ruined the reboot even more by crapping all over Melko. Tbh, I was really starting to like the reboot, but it’s basically the hacy fandoms show now.

Yeah, they were my favorite of the now potentially THREE Mel ships we have? Partly because they were the first but they had an actual deep connection that shone through everything they went through. They just liked each other, they had history and worked well together. I like the new girl but are they just going to get rid of her in a year? I don’t know!

Mhmm, yeah, I don’t mind Harry/Macy on principle but this second ep BARELY had the sisters together, how much did Mel and Maggie actually talk to Macy? Even the closing scenes when they were all at home still focused on each pair they’d separated into earlier. Why wouldn’t Macy be part of the Maggie and Mel conversation, even if to offer silent support? Why wouldn’t Mel and Maggie get to discuss to imposter Harry with Harry and Macy? 

The first season had each of the sisters off with their love interests while Harry took a significant amount of screentime for his own past and with Charity but now it’s two main characters and it’s unbalancing everything. Even though of course this was just one ep and there’ll be plenty of opportunities for the other dynamics, Macy/Harry as a ship is going to overpower things.

I never really watched charmed just kinda kept up w niko but I’m super confused.. I thought she lost memory of Mel and Mel was with jada and now I see niko recognized her and they kissed but nikos getting married to someone else???? Also super excited for atypical to come back!!!

Oh boy, you’re still back in the first season? Hmm…I don’t think she recognized her, I think that came from something else, Niko’s following up on a job and Mel happened to be part of it. Even when they kissed, it was more like, oh, I’m drawn to you for some reason, she hadn’t remembered.

And only 13 days left now!

I ship Mel x Niko too. Sooooo badly. I thought I was alone in this. There’s just something “soulmate-y” about them. And that shit is my jam. I also know I’m probably going to get hurt. (Help.)

Oh, I think a fair number of people watching are into Mel x Niko, it’s just that they’re okay with Mel x Jada too. It’s interesting you see them as soulmate-y because I think most people aren’t really seeing that, which is why they’re open to whatever ship. Even I don’t really see that, not the way I’ve seen it in other ships.

I do think it’s interesting that Niko is back in the picture, increasingly so, maybe that does add an element of destined to be together, but it also solidly works from their feelings, Mel is unable to truly resist her and Niko, somewhere in there, has a strong affinity and potential for attraction to Mel. I guess it depends on what you mean by soulmate-y. To me that feels like something where it’s the universe also working to get them together but here, it’s kind of just them? Or is it… 

I guess we’ll have to see where the show goes with it, it seems less obvious than usual when they’ve placed Jada as a pretty appealing option too, one where if Niko ultimately married Greta and went off, the audience would be fine with. I do ship Mel x Niko more but that’s because I usually tend to stick to the first one. And at the moment, it can’t be denied that Mel definitely still has very strong feelings for her.
