It was very nice to see different sides to Charlie. I like the back-story provided for her.

I really liked this episode! It made my daughters sad, though, because I read The Hobbit to both of them when they were younger and one of them had a sleep-over date at a friends' house the next night! (Luckily, she doesn't get scared at sleep-overs!)

Interesting episode. I suspect Charley might be getting a bigger role in season 9. I base this solely off the fact that they've bothered to give her a BACKSTORY! And the fans seem to like her more than they liked other back-story characters, like Jo. This bodes well for her life expectancy.

It was also fun to see a different 'type' of Djinn. I guess this is the writers' way of introducing new monsters without having to actually introduce new monsters.
