Secret Circle: Bound

Secret Circle: Bound

Posted by Dustin on 09.23.2011 at 6:56 pm

The second episode of “Secret Circle” aired last night, and again I enjoyed it enough. It’s going to go on my tivo, but Grey’s/Private Practice will get priority. I feel like way too many of CW’s shows up are up against huge powerhouses this year.

We learned a lot, but I still have questions. We found out that the accident years ago happened on a boat, and that it occurred because their parents didn’t bind their circle, which would have helped control their powers. Diana was pressing them to bind the circle, but Faye was reluctant, she liked her power. Binding apparently means no one can do magic on their own, they need another member present. Something tells me this won’t apply to Cassie though . . .

We also learned that 5 kids lost a single parent in the accident, except one (Nathan?) who lost both. I think this has to mean that only one of each of the parents was in the circle, but the others were also witches? Again it seems like both of Cassie’s parents are. We really need a family tree or something!

After the accident is when witchcraft was banned. The parents also ended up stripped of their powers. Faye’s mom and Diana’s dad however acquired a crystal which gives them limited power. This is how they are casting at the moment, but the crystal is some kind of reservoir and they are quickly using it up. It’s my guess they are hoping their kids may be the key to getting their own powers back somehow. I bet they didn’t have their powers taken away, but bound with a powerful spell they cannot break without a complete circle.

In the end the kids did bind their circle, when an accident almost killed another kid at the school’s carnival.

I’m liking the show enough to see where it’s going. It hasn’t bored me yet.
