Lost and Bound

I have watched Bewitched since I was a kid (Note: It was long considered classic TV when I used to watch it) and I am outraged at the portrayal of the show. To anyone who has actually WATCHED the show, they would know that Samantha is not a passive stereotypical housewife. She actually takes care of things all by herself, often going behind Darrin's back to fix problems. Watch any of the episodes from the black and white seasons and you'll see her attitude. Sure, she listens to Darrin and doesn't use her powers, but she does this out of trust in the marriage. She also does this to spite her family who opposes her marriage, and in fear that Darrin will abuse her powers and become greedy. She DOESN'T just cook dinner or sit and knit, like Phoebe does in this episode. (In the early seasons Sam is a terrible cook and I don't think she's ever knitted). They should have never dragged Bewitched into this. They could have made it so Phoebe was cursed to act like a stereotypical 50's housewife. Instead they dragged the reputation of a classic show (A show that took place in the late 60s-early 70s and was mostly in COLOR), of which they obviously had limited knowledge.

Apart than that, I loved the firestarter plot, especially the parents being demons- they should have focused even more on this storyline, because it was excellent.

Cole proposes Phoebe again giving the wedding ring of her grandmother, and she changes her behavior to the typical suburban middle-class housewife of the 60's inspired in Samantha Stephens, from "Bewitched". Meanwhile Page gets a job to Cole in the Social Service, and she brings the powerful orphan Tyler, who has the ability of start fire, to the Halliwell house. They find in the Book of Shadows that the boy is a wanted Firestarter and also that The Source's agent Ludlow is chasing him using demoniac bounty hunters. Leo and the sisters decide to destroy Ludlow to protect the boy.

"Lost and Bound" spends too much time in the silly behavior of Phoebe, while the story of the boy is interesting. Cole is trying to act like a normal human, but his position as a lawyer is controversial due to the lack of documentation and his past in the attorney office. My vote is six.
