Charmed: Dead Man Dating

If there was a season that would be perfect for the tv show Charmed, it would be Fall. (Although Spring seems like a great season too, as it reminds me of house sitting for my sister, watching the show, and trying to get the perfect "red lips" look to match Rose McGowan.) A few weeks ago I was cleaning my room, when I found myself dusting off my Charmed DVDs (and thinking about how long it's been since I've watched them). I decided that it's about time to pull them out again. When I saw Holly Marie Combs mark the anniversary of the Charmed premiere, I finally grabbed the first season and watched the first episode.

As I made my way through the first season, I ran across an episode that I love, mostly because of the pairing that it plays with. Who is that pairing? Piper and Mark. I know that everyone and their dog loves Piper/Leo, and while I enjoyed watching their relationship grow they have never been my favorite. I've always had a special place in my heart for the possibilities that the Piper/Mark relationship presented. Of course, I never held out hope for the relationship, it was doomed from the start. Mark was a ghost when they met. But I liked the idea of what could have been.

Let's take a look at some of those special Piper/Mark moments:


Piper reads from the book Mark never got to finish.


Mark gives Piper recipes from his grandparents.


The touch.


The kiss.


Piper protects Mark from Yama.


The funeral.


The goodbye.


Mark leaves.

Another one of my favorite Piper pairings? Piper and Neighbor Dan, who also had a pretty doomed relationship from the start. What were your favorite pairings?
