The Secret Circle Season 1 Ep 1 : Pilot





I liked it, but it was very pilot-y. Some nice setups, like Gale Harold's character's legitimacy as main bad-guy being established in the mom's murder at the beginning. Didn't get to know most of the kids yet but hopefully soon, which is better than trying to establish everyone plus the new town in one 45 minute pilot.


I am not understanding the previous circle bits. They are descended from witches, fine. It takes 6 to make a circle, and the current 6 all had parents who were in the circle. It is clear that Cassie's mom, Faye's mom, Diana's dad and Adam's (?) father (drunk guy) were all in the circle. Something bad happened and they all lost a parent. So, we know that most of the previous circle didn't die. Did their spell go wrong and kill off their spouses or something? Also, are the other parents also magical?

I actually like that they can do things without needing a spell. We saw instances where they were able to do things without speaking, so it's more of a force of will than anything. I think speaking out loud is probably more for the viewers so they can know what the person wants to do. I always thought that having to recite a spell would be a big time waster when you're in a dangerous situation.
