Talk:Cole Turner (Charmed)

message: The question at hand is whether or not an article on Cole Turner, a character in the television show “Charmed,” is of encyclopedic material.  
Art is clearly worthy of inclusion in any encyclopedia.  Film as well as New Media Art, including digital video projections of what is essentially a short film, falls under the category of art.  The question is really whether or not Television is art, specifically this television show.  Like pornography, one can easily differentiate between art and what is clearly not an attempt at the quest for truth.  Defining art has always been something of a difficulty.  What I would say, in an attempt to prove that “Charmed” is worthy of scholarly attention, although certainly a specific scholar who was researching something titled “Pop Culture and Mythology,” or “Reinterpretations of Fairytales and Lore in Media” would find such an article particularly beneficial, is that “Charmed” makes a worthy attempt at reinterpreting such folktale icons as witches and demons, as well as a good host of mythological creatures, including nymphs, succubae, and banshees, for a modern audience.  This encourages the audience to further pursue research on such topics, while thinking about the pycology of these creatures, and questioning the issues of good and evil that humanity encompasses.  The medium of television should not limit the scholarly value of the writers, directors, and actors involved with the show.  Their artistic vision and understanding of what truly reaches people, specifically the group of people that they feel most strongly need influence, should be valued.   The character of Cole Turner deals with conflicts vital to the human experience, specifically light and darkness, as well as the choice between “what is right” and “what will make me feel good right now.”  These questions and choices are highly relevant to American culture, most so to the target audience of teenagers and twenty-something’s who are in the process of examining morality and their own understanding of themselves.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.171.22.116 (talk) 04:51, 7 February 2005 (UTC)

message: Just noticed the note about how Cole never time travelled. Technically I believe he did... he went back to try to kill/kidnap Melinda Warren as a baby, in the episode All Halliwell's Eve. I'm not sure that one jump (that we was probably sent by somebody else, since I don't think he can under his own power) technically makes him a Time Traveler for purpose of the category, but just wanted to correct that. --Maelwys 12:56, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Is it really necessary to have a spoiler tag in this article?  The series is over with (except in countries that are behind the US), and so it seems that at least in the english 'pedia, such a tag is no longer necessary.  Or am I misunderstanding it's usage?   ···Q   Huntster (T) • @ • (C)  22:52, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Did Cole actually ever become an Avatar? Because i thought he only nearly did. I cant remember him ever actually having or using Avatar powers. July10 2006—Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.194.87.1 (talk) 11:23, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes he did become an avatar and then rewrote reality to his unfortunate end, he was vanquished in the same episode (that time he stayed dead).—Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.170.93.59 (talk) 01:18, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

message: It is the same character, and I can't see how it has enough information to have page of its own. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 23:12, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Belthazor]] should be merged here. 

message: I have one question about the sentence When the Seer says the Source's power went "into the void", she was referring to the "void" where Cole's demon half used to be.  Either in that episode or a previous episode (been watching the series again and see if I can dig up which it is), she mentions as a Seer she cannot lie.  However, that doesn't stop her from bending the truth.  Though I like the take on "Cole's Void", the way she phrased the response was more in the form of a question.  I think this is her way of not answering the question out right that it went into Cole, but make it sound like it was gone, making the sisters think they had won.

message: ;refactored from below, after restoring links as noted above.:ALSO: redated Merge tags to 9 July 2009 for the sake of proper process.
* Just seen these... date unknown, improperly hung, since no link to this or any section introducing the topic and the tags (Lazy paperhangers! YUCK!!!) have no embedded rationale or reasoned arguments for the proposal. Tags removed on that basis. If you hung them, try reading the help before using merger tags again. // FrankB 14:17, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge proposal [[Cole Turner]] with [[Belthazor]] 

message: * Neutral leaning keep--at least until I have time to peruse both articles better, but my gut feel is to leave well enough alone as the demon's interactions (TRIAD, SOURCE, DEMONIC WORLD in general) is outside the behaviours conducted by Cole Turner (Assistant District Attorney, Phoebe's love interest, intercessor with police authorities) so that treatment as two characters is warranted on the grounds of easiest exposition of the character(z). - Moreover, truncation by merger just creates an uninformative redirect and would create double redirects in various links and templates. - Lastly, a couple of short articles are superior and far easier to edit and maintain than one large confusing one trying to cover too many aspects. While the two will necessarily have cross-references mentions to some matters in the other, that should aid ease of writing and help keep the writing from being "In-universe" in style, as is criticized by such a tag on one of these currently. // FrankB 15:12, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
