A reader plumbs the weirdness:
"Willow" was Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s best friend and "Piper" was the eldest sister on the series Charmed played by Shannen Doherty. The governor obviously has a penchant for television shows of paranormal female empowerment. (I know, it’s too gay that I know this). "Trig?" Don’t have clue.
Bristol! A town in near Wales! And another correction:
Piper was the second sister, she was played by Holly Marie Combs. Shannon Doherty played Prue (Prudence) Halliwell. Willow and Piper are both witches. Good witches.
