"Q12 from @LynnePlaisance: Will there be flashbacks as to why Charlie now has a sexual tude and will she see Jason again?
Q12: She will indeed see Jason again, and her tude just comes from the fact that she’s growing up"
I'm not judging her having random hookups and I'm sure she didn't have time/didn't think about getting laid when she was trying to save her brother/help the rebels. But I kinda take offense towards the attitude that having Charlie out of nowhere just have one night stands shows that she's an adult and she's "growing up".

I don't mind her new 'tude' - we saw all last season as she picked up Miles mannerisms (his glower, his fighting skills, his snark) and we never really saw her before her father got shot and Danny was taken. Who knows what she was up to. So, maybe it's an extension of her mini!Miles-ing, maybe it's just how she switches off the voice in her head listing all she's lost and how little she has now?
She has no one telling her what to do, she has no purpose (until she finds out Monroe's nearby), she's going to experiment. I get it.
I do agree that Kripke explains it very badly. Growing up means sleeping with strangers and casual sex, obviously.

LOL, I'm probably the only one who cares about her and keeps asking "where's Grace? What happened to her?"

Again, I don't mind it, but I do think it's a very sudden shift without any hints beforehand, making it look somewhat OOC. I can buy it, but it's come out of nowhere and seems more like an outside decision of "Nora's gone, we need a hot young actress to get PG-13 naked, let's give Charlie her sexual awakening. If we do ( ... )

It's a little sudden, but I liked it, so I sort of gave it a free pass I guess.
*laughs* And possibly increasing the male viewership might have been behind their motivation to put it in episode 1.
(But of course, having it happen now, they've already set us up to accept similar behaviour, 'looser' behaviour later on - as well...)
I guess I have the:
'Is everything always about sex with you?'
'Yes.'
Nora-Miles dialogue from Ep 3 always in the back of my mind. (Or was that ep 2?)
(Plus, the flirty way he greeted Maggie in the pilot.)
And I'm sure Charlie heard Miles say a lot of things in the weeks he was stomping around the country half-sober, and as much as Charlie didn't have time to hook up with anyone (besides Jason, which lasted what? 3 days? or something), Miles didn't either. Plus he was travelling with his ex and his niece, who would judge the hell out of him.
(Until Nora turned up in his room half naked.)
Monroe just had more time to sleep around. And ( ... )
