When Phoebe has a vision of herself being burnt to death, the sisters travel ten years into the future to learn what happened. They discover that she used her powers to kill Cal Greene, causing a local D.A. named Nathaniel Pratt to begin modern-day witch trials as a platform for political office. Meanwhile, Prue and Piper try to save Phoebe, but they both are surprised and somewhat disappointed to learn how their lives turned out.
An Older Piper wearing a white blouse and black slacks woke up on a couch by the excited cries of a young girl. '' Uh, I think you have the wrong house. Certainly the wrong mummy.'' she murmured as the little brown girl ran up and hugged the woman. ''Stop fooling.'' the little girl stated with bright blue eyes.
''The car is here!'' another voice cried out from out of sight. A car honks and as a result the little girl ran off as Piper looked in a mirror.
''Ooh.'' she softly stated as she tried to wrap her head around what she was doing. So far it looked like the spell she and her sisters performed was working. Looking down at her body she caught the sight of a wedding ring on her finger and let out another gasp. ''I'm married...'' she softly stated to herself, but all things considering she wasn't that surprised. Suddenly and very conveniently a report about Phoebe shows up on the TV. 'Phoebe,' Piper thought as she began frantically looking around for the remote. ''How do I turn up the volume without the remote?'' she loudly remarked in a huff as she looked under the table and moved away some of the pillows. As if by magic the sound of the Television got louder as
The reporter, a man in his thirties with dark brown hair and wearing a dark blue suit continued his report as an image of an older Phoebe with flames in the background in her picture appeared on the screen. ''Now more news on the execution of Phoebe Halliwell coming up in just a moment.''
''Mum, we're gonna be late.'' the little brown haired girl stated as she ran back into the room. She was wearing overall and a green shirt with flower patterns.
''Miss Mary is here,'' the same voice from before called out from the direction of the front door.
''Okay, uh, TV shut up. Mute. Something.'' she stated as the TV's volume cut off. She was then led to the door where a blond hair little boy was waiting and an older woman wearing a dark blue sweat shirt and navy colored trousers with dark brown hair. The look on her face was something of uneasiness and sympathy.
''Morning, Piper. You all right?'' the woman asked as uncertainty rolled off of her.
''I guess.'' Piper casually remarked, unsure on just how to act.
''Yeah, with your sister, it's rough, I know. So, don't worry about your little ones. I'll get them to school like you asked but uh, are you sure you want me to take their godmother's?
''Yes, if that is what I told you, then yes.'' she uneasily replied, trying to wrap her head around the facts that she was dealing with. Mainly due to the very shock that she not only had a little boy but girl as well. Just looking at him it was impossible to not figure out who the father was.
''So you two are back on speaking terms?'' the woman asked, wondering what was going on with Piper.
''Maybe. Prue? Prue?'' Piper called out to her older sister from inside the house and receiving no answer.
''Okay, kiddos, let's hit the road.'' Mary said as the two children ran over to their mother and hugged her goodbye.
''Don't worry, mommy. I promise I'll do what you ask. I won't use my magic again, ever.''
''See you later mommy.'' the boy added as they were soon led away.
Piper went outside and watched them drive off. A black limo soon pulled up. Prue and what one could only assume were her assistants get out of the limo. Prue was wearing a very sex knee length and shoulder-less black dress and her hair was completely bleach blonde. Her assistants fussed over her by brushing and touching her.
''Hey, hey. Okay, enough! People stop touching me. Stay, stay, stay.'' she shooed them away before going up the steps to where a blown Piper looked her over.
''Prue, what's going on?'' she asked, wondering just what on earth was going on.
''I don't know, but I could really get used to it. Check me out. I don't just work at Bucklands, I own it and three more in Paris, Tokyo and London.'' Prue proudly listed off as she felt pretty accomplished. All that hard work and dedication paid off apparently.
''And you're blonde.'' Piper remarked, trying to wrap her head around Prue of all people dying their hair.
''Yeah strange.'' Prue admitted as well, as the whole dying the hair thing was something Phoebe would do.
''Wait, you had time to go to work already?''
''Well, actually, I woke up there but it was amazing. I had all these assistants and this huge office and I have a chauffeur and he's so totally hot. But of course I'm in a committed relationship to a certain goofy blonde so let's keep that between us.'' she added as Piper giggled. ''So how did you do?'' she added as she was soon led into the house.
''Well I'm married for one,'' she remarked and held up her hand showing off her hand.
''You're married.'' Prue gasp as she reached out and grabbed Piper's hand to examine the ring. ''Wait a minute...'' she added as her face failed. ''You're married.'' she repeating again. ''I'm the oldest, I was supposed to get married first.'' she stated as she began to sulk.
Piper winched and added, ''Well I better tell you I have kids as well.'' she knew it was always better to tell someone bombshells like that yourself then having them hear from another source.
''Kids? As in more than one?'' Prue was beginning to rethink how amazing her life was as she was missing a few things.
''Twins, if I'm not wrong.'' Piper answered as she held up a photo.
''They're beautiful...'' Prue said as she looked down at the pictured form of her niece and nephew. ''Wait...you have a son? How is that possible?'' she asked, as doing some researched revealed that no male Halliwell had ever been born into the line.
''If the father is who I think he is are you all that surprised?''
''Do you know they're names?''
''Oh God. I don't know. But, Prue, as far as I know my future daughter has powers. But for some reason I told her not to use them. Why would I do that?'' that question struck another thought in Prue's head.
''Speaking of why... Why are we in our future bodies? I mean, I thought we were supposed to come here and see them.'' thinking back to their trips to their past.
''Well, apparently going to the past isn't the same as going to the future. I just wish that since we are in our future bodies that we could have some memory of what's happened in the last ten years, like how I got kids.''
''Okay, wait a second, if I'm in my future body and you are in your future body then that means that Phoebe...'' it occurred to them.
''TV... louder, louder.'' Piper ordered as the volume on the TV gets louder.
''...execution. We're less than eight hours away now until the burning of Phoebe Halliwell. The witch accused of murdering Cal Greene six months ago.''
''Eight hours?'' Piper cried out as her face went pale from worry as her expression became frantic. ''We were supposed to be here two weeks before.''
''Shh...'' Comforting remarked and hugged Piper to calm her down.
''Let's go there now live where Sierra Stone is standing by. Sierra...'' the screen then switched to a light skinned woman in red in front of Hobart State Penitentiary.
''San Francisco district attorney, Nathaniel Pratt, who's discovery of the witch last August, has made him an early favor for the governor's seat, just came out to make a statement. Let's listen in.''
The image of a forty something man in a suit with grey hair appeared on the screen swarmed by many reporters. ''This is a reflection of our citizens' resolve to ferret out the hidden evil. To turn fear into fight, and to band together as one. To cleanse our city of its greatest threat. Tonight, Phoebe Halliwell will burn for her crime. And when she does, let that be a warning to other witches out there. You're next.''

Prue discovers someone trapped within a painting at the auction house and unwittingly repeats the spell hidden under the picture which casts her into another dimension with a man named Malcolm, who's been stuck there for 70 years. Meanwhile, Piper asks their new neighbor for help renovating her new nightclub, and Phoebe secretly casts a Smart spell to help her compete for a new job. When Piper also gets stuck in the painting, Phoebe's new smarts enable her to read and send with Kit the Latin spell to free them all – only to be tricked by Malcolm who is actually a warlock. He saves himself and then torches the painting. Although the smart spell is over, a cunning Phoebe tricks the warlock and his warlock lover into the painting with her. Piper freezes the warlocks within the painting while Prue, Piper, Phoebe and Kit escape back into the real world. The painting continues to burn with the warlocks trapped inside. Both the painting and the two warlocks trapped inside are destroyed.

In the manor kitchen sat both Prue and Piper as the former began informing the latter of the incident that happened at her office last night.
''At first I just thought that it was a reflection off of something in the room but then when I moved closer, I saw a man, inside the painting, in the castle. Right, but the moment I saw him, he backed away from the window. And then there was this strange glow that went past the window again. It was just so...'' Prue trailed off and took notice of the fact that Piper was sorting through some papers and not paying much attention. ''Piper?'' Prue added loudly gaining her sister's attention.
''What?'' she responded, showing that she wasn't paying too much attention at all.
''We were talking?'' she added, sending her sister with a pointed glance as Piper shirk back sheepishly.
''I know, about a man in a painting. Listen to this one. "Hallway near club entrance too narrow." she read off the paper at another code violation that was given for the club she was trying to form.
''I thought that we had discussed your code violations.'' Prue countered as not too long ago they went over a list of violations the inspector informed them of and she was sure they set up a means to fix it.
''Well, they keep finding more.'' she irritably remarked as she went down the list. ''The plumbing, the electrical, the heating. It... none of it is up code.'' she said as she promptly face desk and groaned.
''Stop. You're obsessing.'' Prue noted as she looked up.
''Well, it runs in the family.'' she countered as Prue's face scrunched up slightly.
''I don't obsess. I think... intensely.'' she finished after pausing to find the right word. ''Anyway, I can't really help it. I mean, we've seen so many bizarre things, why not a man in a painting?'' she added, bringing up the fact that after dealing with warlocks and other creatures there was no real reason for them to be skeptical of such things.
''Well, at least he's safe from building inspectors. I can't imagine that castle's up to code.'' she morosely finished as Phoebe walked in carrying the Book of Shadows.
''I'm sorry, but I couldn't find anything in the Book of Shadows about people who may be trapped inside paintings. I looked everywhere.''
''What's this I hear? Painting man...sounds suspicious...'' Naruto remarked as he entered the room with a bag of donuts. ''And familiar...hey ladies.'' he greeted them as they all greeted him back.
''Naruto...what do you know about people being sealed in things such as paintings?'' Prue asked as the blond paused to think about it.
''Not that much to be honest. I mean a painting is a twist on the usual,'' he remarked as he unrolled the bag and pulled out a donut. ''Donut?'' he offered.

Piper's club isn't doing great, so she is looking for a big band to play there and gets the band, Dishwalla. The manager of the band, Jeff Carlton, has made a deal with a demon to exchange young souls for money and success. The manager brings back women who say that they would do anything to meet the band. Unfortunately, the Charmed Ones' underage neighbor Jenny says this and gets swallowed by the demon. The only way to vanquish the demon is to throw the potion into its mouth. Phoebe spills the potion on her skirt and Prue uses her power to shove the skirt down the demon's throat, saving Jenny and many others.

Sitting at the counter Prue was on the phone with a man by the name of Chris Barker. She was doing her best to secure a loan for the club Piper wanted to open up. Having quit Quake Piper wanted to make her first step of exploring her own dream and wanted to do so of course without borrowing money from Naruto. It wasn't that she didn't appreciate the blond's willingness to help them, but she didn't want her and her sisters to become dependent on his money and become complacent. She didn't want to fall into the mold of one of those women that only got involved with a man for his money.
''Prue, don't feel awkward.'' Barker's voice echoed from the phone.
''Well, it's a big deal.'' she remarked as she held her tongue. Barker reeked of the kind of man that made her uncomfortable.
''I know. Starting a business with that bank loan breathing down your neck can make things kind of scary.'' his tone was kind of condescending. Not to mention it was kind of insulting to her, as if she was an airhead of sorts.
''Yeah. On top of your loan.''
''Hey, Listen. I have no doubt I'll be seeing my money again after your sister gets her club off the ground.''
''And the terms are still the same?'' she pressed, making sure that he would keep his end of the bargain.
''Absolutely. No interest.''
''Uh, no, we'll, we'll pay you interest.'' just to make sure he wouldn't try to collect in on anything else as a result.
''Ok, fine. A quarter percent whatever. Now, speaking of getting off the ground, the plane trip to Paris is still open for discussion, isn't it?'' he asked, finally stating what his interest of this little deal was.
''Mr. Barker ...'' she replied with an edge to her voice.
''I mean, come on ... hasn't that rain check burned a hole in your pocket by now?'' he continued to press on with no plan on letting Prue rebuff his advances.
''Look, I really appreciate your offer ...'' she tried to gently let him down only to be cut off again.
''It's not an offer, Prue, it's a dinner request!''
''In Paris?'' she skeptically remarked.
''You know what they call French bread in France?''
''Bread.'' she answered without missing a beat.
''Exactly. Dinner in Paris is where it all begins.''
''Okay, you know, why don't we just start with your loan, followed with us paying you back as soon as possible?'' she stated, bringing the conversation back on topic.
''Oh, you're a hard bargainer.
''So are you.''
''Oh, I haven't even begun to fight.''
''Uh huh.'' she remarked and held a hand to her head in irritation.
''Paris?''
''Stop it.'' she remarked without any humor in her tone.
''Never. I'll see you at the club, with the money.''
''Okay, bye'' she said as she quickly hung up the phone as Phoebe entered the room. ''Well, it's all set. Mr. Barker's gonna meet us at the club, hand over the check and that'll be that.''
''We're doing the right thing, aren't we?'' Phoebe asked her sister, feeling a bit doubtful.
''Well, we're helping out our sister. That's always the right thing, right?'' she asked, as if she was trying to convince herself more than Phoebe. ''I know you think we should have asked Naruto for a loan but...''
''I know, but if we're going to make this situation work don't you think we should stop thinking in such terms as his money or our money?'' but before Phoebe could get an answer Allison orbed in.
''We have trouble.'' she urgently stated.

And finally the Infamous Paige needed to Orb the Gun Scene and how it should have happened.
000000000000
Rick Gittridge was the leader of the "gang" of friends Phoebe associated with in her high school days; they would do things based on the idea "in for a penny, in for a pound". Rick learns of Phoebe's magical abilities after she and her friends decide to go to the prison Rick is being held in for a visit. He then insists they break him out and then he comes up with the idea of having Phoebe use her powers to change his appearance and help him with a robbery.
Rick Gittridge, the leader of a highschool gang that Phoebe used to hang out with in her youth currently held said young woman at gunpoint. ''Help me or your sister dies.'' he remarked as Paige did the intelligent thing that someone like her would do.
She held out her hands and commanded Gun, orbing the object out of his hand and into her hands.
And then Phoebe, doing the intelligent and reasonable thing that years' worth of practicing martial arts would allow her to do flipped Rick over and knocked him out.
''Good move, Pheebs.'' Paige complemented her sister.
''Yeah, right back at your sis. I'll keep this creep covered, while you call Daryl.'' she suggested.
''On it!'' Paige remarked as she went to the next room to call said police officer.

Thoughts and Reflections
000
When they decided that the show was no longer good versus evil, but instead keeping the balance between good and evil was such a dumb moment. Because keeping a balance would be rather pointless and contradictory to what was establish in the early seasons, per the Charmed Ones destinies. (I don't have to point out the obvious ass-holes and stuff.) Not to mention neutral characters...the Cleaners, the Avatars, and the original Angel of Death. Not sure if the Angels of Destiny were neutral or not, but they were a whole lot closer. And I think Clarence, the second Angel of Death, was neutral or good, nice at any rate. The Avatars were just too powerful (yet another slap to the Power of 3 being an ultimate power) and the battle of that season was just them leaving.
My thing is the Charmed Ones are just too underwhelming or the villains too overpowered. And then there was how they couldn't make up their mind about Leo's bosses, be they founders or elders. How on earth do you go from needing protection in "Witches In Tights" and requiring Leo to save them in "Oh, My Goddess" to having the power to kill with lightning in "It's a Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad, World" and from then on out(When most of them supposed to have been wiped out meaning as a collective they should have been weaker). And when did becoming an elder stop requiring them to be good. Because many of them quit once we met them.
So yeah, expect a lot of changes and such per obvious.
000
Character Evolution and looks.
000
Now in Prue's case she has short hair. Conservative, workaholic, and a bit uptight. In the write hands (pre season five writers and beyond) we see a character evolution in a more free-spirited, independent, slightly snarky woman with long, flowing straight hair. Long hair but not too long and as such we can only imagine how she'll deal with season four and beyond incidents.
Piper-You can't just completely change a dynamic and expect it to work from the offset. And changing people's behavior and personality when handled badly is noticed. Well unlike certain forums, particularly fanforums dedicated to Piper's son I don't endlessly whine, cry, and bitch over every little thing and use bashing names and derogative names and such. So yeah, if people don't take you seriously then you might want to show some maturity instead of acting like a child. Back to topic on hand they handled Piper horribly, made her so angry/trigger happy temper problems, and with all the needless relationship angst with Leo and stuff. And looks tend to reflect quite a few things and as such the hair reflected as sloppy and just too long. A far cry from the long, yet stylized and neat hair of the sweet middle sister.
Phoebe's season four and post hairdos and such were horrible, along with the outfits. The sweet girl we all knew became too self-centered and a completely different character. The magic loving girl who wanted to help people. I just see some of the later episodes and can't help but think that the rumors of Shannon being the victim is accurate. All this media hate and portrayal seems to be utter bullshit and I do not believe she is a bitch. If you blindly believe so then you are a fucking moron. Now my thing is, was Milano really okay with the behavior of her character and believed her action and behavior was justified? Quite frankly it doesn't make sense, too much focus on the damn lovelife and trying to make a daughter which completely ignores the premise of sisters who happened to be witches and fighting evil. Not a trio of women trying to have babies and just happen to fight demons in their spare time.
The more conservative, kind, and loving Phoebe that was free-spirited and only somewhat promiscuous is who we all love and miss. And regardless of all the mindless Phoebe x Cole fans seem to think. (Just because a pairing is canon doesn't mean it's automatically good or true love. Especially in the hands of certain writers) I have a feeling that he distracted her from developing more as a person and going on the right track. (I used to hate the character, but I feel bad for the shit the writers did to his character.) So yeah, all the hairstyles and such were a bit too much, season 2 look is the best, like with Piper. And while they did show hints of her and Paige bonding its grating that the same wasn't done for Paige and Piper.
To be honest I don't care whether Paige is red-head or brunette. Unfortunately Mcgowan's performance could have been a much better actor. Facial expressions at times were just uggh. Not to mention why none of the actresses objected to the massive IQ dropped the character went through. You go from a college graduate and social service worker to a dog walker? I swear things were contrived and they put too much on her trying to find her identity away from her sisters and didn't bother to have development for them as a family.
Whether strawberry blond, or dark hair with pale skin Paige's character was underutilized, not enough focus on her as a witch not to mention her and Phoebe's poorly done ass-pull romances to tack on babies.

Magical Community

What was the point of calling them such when they didn't act as such. There were no connections to each other. Leprechauns were attitudinal jerks, ogres were cultureless ditzes, elves and gnomes were just as snotty and self-important as they always are in fantasy fiction. Then again Charmed focused too much on the lighter and softer variation of Fairy Tales and such.
Mermaids didn't have too many abilities and seemed sort of empty headed. And this loneliness, does it suddenly and spontaneously happen? How are Mermaids born? Are they all female? What about Merman. So many questions unanswered.
Unicorns...
Nymphs were also...well, they danced and were naive. So people if you know mythology please post thoughts and such in reviews. Like the Three Fates, Clotho, and other very beings from numerous mythologies. High-level demons who want to steal magic from other witches with numerous schemes, resurrecting the Source (thoughts on season nine comic and how the female villain seems ridiculously overpowered), or launching a full-scale war against the Elders, are just interesting plot points. That would've kept the show closer to its more sinister roots, with the antagonistic plots and everything, rather than turning it into an occult version of Disney World.
Anyway I plan to add creatures like centaurs and actual Sirens who drag bewitched men to their doom under the ocean, and an Evil Witch called Circe who performs some of the same transformative and destructive magic as her ancient counterpart.
So if I've done a good job on the Power of Three being powerful let me know. Because didn't Melinda Warren hinted via premonition that each generation would be stronger, culminating in the sisters, so the generation after them would not be stronger. My thing is that if you're going to write the series go back and watch all the episodes and get your facts strength. Though the children from the Charmed Ones in this fic (canon and Naruto's kids) will have different reasons for being stronger then what was prophesied (as I already hinted someone is manipulating destiny from behind the scenes.)

Seasons and Thoughts

Well as I said I will be studying on witch lore, wicca, and stuff. One of those things being the actual wicca reede and how Personal Gain doesn't exist. Saving innocents will still be a core theme. And Phoebe's interest of magic will never wain. There will be more intelligent villains. The reason why Melinda was burned at the stake will have an actual reason. This relates to season one, very formulaic and not really anything I had too much of a problem with.
Season 2: Piper and Leo were destined and soul mates so you know they would have ended up together, but I can't help but think about a few things. Like for one, Dan represented the normal life that Piper craves so much (and they overstate to hell in the later seasons.) If Piper had married Dan, Leo would still be a whitelighter, his calling, what he's destined to be. Leo represented the wicca life that Piper doesn't want. For the one who wants to be a witch the least to end up with a magical guy just doesn't make sense. Then of course to justify things you get a helping dish of derailing interest. When someone who is a decent or perfect love interest in written into an uncharacteristic ass-hat to justify the writer's pet pairing or red string strangling when two characters are forced together despite in no realistic way would a healthy relationship work out.
All and all while I don't support Piper x Dan, I still think if they were going to put so much relationship stuff, they really needed to put more effort into making it good or believable. Throw away lines and an establish time-line where they can offhand mentioned several dates and stuff like that could have helped. I also loved the whole innocent and sweet Phoebe going back to school before she became obsessed with being in love and married. And before Kern and Friends did away with wrong things done for the right reasons are still wrong and that they don't punish the guilty. (Loop hole abuse by Kyuubi16: Naruto secretly hires an assassin to punish the guilty. Why? Because I'm a bit of a dick and I might be doing Harem and Crossovers just to piss off my haters and will be doing even more in different fandoms. Why you might ask? Have I mentioned I am a Jerkass today?)
Season 3: The characters were more developed-the Halliwells were both witches and sisters-the closeness between the sisters was there. Piper getting her new power is an iffy subject when you think about it. Once a single Charmed Ones could destroy demons just by using her own power, she no longer needed her sisters, the way Prue still needed hers, since her TK didn't kill. Originally she could only push people away with it, not actually kill them. That would've been much better, because personally I think that changing Piper's power from time manipulation to molecular manipulation could have been handled better if her sisters developed secondary powers that complemented their powers or better complemented the others in a matter where all three were needed. Like having her power start off small with damaging bursts and stuff instead of being a one shot kill from the off-set.
Season 4: For me, I felt Paige was pushed at us, the way Billie and Christy were in S8, and being a huge Prue-fan, didn't appreciate it. Piper was never meant to be the oldest and it shows. She's so busy with her own life with Leo, she can't keep her sisters out of trouble or under control, the way Prue could. I always toyed with an idea of Paige being more sisterly. In what context its hard to tell. Anything then forcing the characters into molds where they didn't fit. Letting Piper and Phoebe be themselves. Speaking of, I thought it would've been a lot better if Phoebe had realized what was happening with Cole and helped him beat it. Her becoming evil by choosing him over her sisters was a huge wall banging and a slap to the face of their sisterhood. And showing the Source's face and changing his voice, gah, really drags down his effectiveness as a terrifying villain.
Season 5: THE FAIL BEGINS!
TOO MUCH LIGHTER AND SOFTER. THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE MAGIC COMMUNITY WAS HANDLED BADLY. Let's try having characters meet without it being a plot point. Like the Charmed Ones meeting a leprechaun here or a Fairy there would have been better. The ass-pull and not hinted at all twice-blessed prophecy was bullshit. If witches and white lighters were forbidden than the all of a sudden 'we believe you carry the sacred style despite all the shit we put you through to make sure you two never got together' its just so uggh. Especially in season nine comics where the elders apparently have enough power to alter said Propechy to allow for new Charmed Ones or something. I wasn't aware altering prophecies were that foretold thousands of years ago were so easy to change. First Born MALE son owns all, magical sword and future evil overlord and all. Second son gets inferiority complex and is much weaker for no real reason. YES! THANK YOU WRITERS! WHAT GOOD WRITING! WHY DID MELINDA BECOME WYATT FOR NO REASON OR EXPLANATION AT ALL?
0000000
S4 was much too dark; S5 was much too light. Funny, but during S4, a lot of fans were writing on the boards that we should get a chance to meet other peoples in the magical world. I guess this proves to watch out what you wish for-you may get it! I liked all the fairy tales and everything better than the darkness of S4, but not by much.
By far, the best part of the season was Wyatt, both while Piper was carrying him (and we thought she was Melinda, who he should've been, and he *definitely* shouldn't have had a prophecy of his own; one that no one had even heard about until then) and his birth and his first demon. Remembering that unicorn as the sign of purity still hurts when I think what they did to his character in S6.
This season includes two of my favorite eppis-"Cat House" (although I want to kill Kern for the way he fired Shannen, so she ened up not allowing scenes of Prue to be shown!) and "Sense & Sense Ability"-that *had* to be the funniest episode ever!
But I hate what they did to Cole! It's almost as if they were trying to make us hate his character so we wouldn't mind when they got rid of him in the 100th episode.
Season Six: Chris being the second son does not seemed planned from the start nor did it show that he seemed to care for his family as much as you think he would. The atmosphere around the character did not fit like any child goes back in time and save parents story. Not to mention he murders quite a few people (Valkyrie anyone) and nothing comes of it via karma.
To top it off, thanks to his obvious belief that ends justify the means, he taught his family to feel the same way besides getting them to stop worrying about innocents and just concentrate on their family and we know how that happened. Not to mention the later decision to not celebrate baby chris's birthday. Uugh.
By vanquishing his father to Valhalla, Leo learned (Well not learn but you know what I mean) to hate and is forced to kill (memory is hazy at the time) and by turning Leo into an Elder, that's when Leo murdered and then he became an Avatar, killed Uncle Phil (Elder) and all the stuff that follows.
Back to what I was saying earlier there are a ton of fanfics which shows how much Chris loved Piper, but it's never shown on the show! Even the look they shared when she first found out at the end of Courtship could be interpreted as his being scared that she would try to stop him now that she knew. Also we now have Easily Forgiven.
As in how Leo forgave him so quickly when he simply found out that Chris was his son;there was so there was no real reason for Leo to forgive him that quickly just because he was a version of their son, one who never once said he was sorry for all of the crappy stuff he did, especially splitting up Piper and Leo and vanquishing Leo to Valhalla! Yes, I agree that the main reason for the mixup is Holly becoming pregnant so they had to change their original plans for Chris, hence the reason he is so different in "Oh, My Goddess" and in S6. But it's just a poor decision to change your entire plot over a pregnancy when you can film before she starts showing and after the birth instead of badly incorporating a second child.
Not to mention the whole using power for personal gain only punishing them when the plot decrees it.
Phoebe wanting to switch powers just so Piper could have a premonition of the Avatars' future and changing reporters who were irritating Piper into rats being chief among them
Season Seven: Zankou, a good villain, Kyra amazing guest star and Drake was okay. The Avatar plot line was rather pointless not to mention how poorly researched the whole thing was. Kyle was an obessive and the fact Paige chose him over her sisters was a massive wall bangers. Continued suspicion after the Avatars didn't kill his parents, sigh and face palm. Of course the suspicion was correct, but the hatred continued on...for what reason?
And Astral Projection being taught? Telekinesis possibly (people are scientifically working on it) but in this setting Astral Projection is connected with Telekinesis and...well I don't want to dwell on this anymore. And the Charmed Ones simply walking away at the season seven finale from their magical lives. I'm split on this. On one hand their situation was screwed up. On the other hand they had the choice in season four and declined it. So your thoughts on this.
Season Eight: Utter garbage. I hated it and it should have never been made. Why change the Angel of Destiny? Were guest stars necessary? The season didn't focus on the Charmed One, putting characters who have been with us since the beginning on the Bus and other things like Billie being overpowered up the ass was the kind of thing that almost makes you hate the show. We then have the strangled red string lets get them married and popping out babies ending for Phoebe and Paige.
All and all not enough genuine love and development between all these supposed couples and more relationship problems and disasters instead of worthwhile development. And Season Eight, apparently even the Twice-Blessed Child Prophecy means nothing to this new Ultimate Power. Piper and Phoebe actually accepting her better than they accepted Paige! That was enough to make me want to punch something.
I actually liked the character Christy as an evil character. I liked the Stockholm Syndrome angle and the actress did a passable job, but the character was still annoying. The Triad was a piss poor final season villain. Also why did Piper survive and Paige who can orb (For christ sakes she sneezed and survived a reality orbing event) didn't and wasn't shown.
Piper shouldn't have been able to use Coop's ring (he should've gone on the time travel trip with her, not Leo), Leo should not have been returned until after the battle was *truly* won; and Wyatt and Chris had nothing to do with the plot and were just there to make their fans happy.
Now there are other wallbangers. Penny being a hippy in 1967 (WRITERS! MATH! DO YOU HAS IT? )
Looking back now, it's clear that those three seasons were different than the five following. Prue was the big sister who took care of everything and everyone. Sure, she had problems with her father but that's very realistic in real life and something we can relate to. Piper just never fit the role of the older sister.
Homeland Security had no place on Charmed. If they're worrying about a trio of women with vague hints or suspicions of being witches whose defending the country against terrorists?
What was the point of Phoebe being an empath if she never really used it.
How can an Elder die, since technically they are already dead? Where do their spirits go?
In S7, they Leo's crazy quest to find and vanquish Baraba's was because he was involved with Gideon, who tried to murder his son, meaning Wyatt. What about the son he did murder! What about Chris? In an episode, Paige asks Piper if shes okay with everything, including what happened to Chris ; and Piper said something along the lines of nothing actually happening to him. (referring to baby Chris.). We put all the blame on the writers (mostly reserved) but you guys tell me that the actresses couldn't have spoken up about something? It just shows a don't care attitude.
Lady Godiva was a stupid episode. Changing history because of an event that never happened was such a wallbanger, a legend and the reason behind it did not pertain to women's writes but more along the line of taxes. And she isn't blonde in the legend.
WHY COULDN'T HAVE PAIGE ORBED THE FUCKING GUN!
Another thing that REALLY annoyed me about the later seasons was their over reliance on fairy tales and legends and not portraying them correctly or making them original enough on their own. Take Excalibur for example, it was NOT the sword pulled out of the rock, that sword was discarded by Arthur after the test was over. Excalibur was given to Arthur by the Lady Of The Lake.
And why were nearly all the British characters asshats or villainish?
And why did the sisters power changed then what was alluded to in Morality Bites without a hint or justification as to why. And did the Elders decide when the girls were ready for their powers? Could they give premonitions. Why the hell didn't they boost their powers against the Source or warn the sisters about possessed Cole?
An Empath is a reincarnated mortal being, reborn with the ability to feel other's emotions, the power of Empathy. When mortals are reincarnated as Empaths, they often enter fields enabling them to heal and guide others; usually become priests, counselors, teachers, psychiatrists, etc. And Phoebe develops it how? Because she was destined too? *Aneurysm approaching. * And levitation. Makes more sense for Paige to have it.
Here is something else I didn't like. In the episode 'Crimes and Witch Demeanors, ' Phoebe lost her active powers because she was using them for personal gain. She was trying to force premonitions so she could essentially find her babies daddy. Phoebe graciously accepted the loss of her powers, knowing the wrong she did. Then, in the next episode, what does Paige do...she uses her powers for personal gain to conjure Mr. Right so he could help her relax after taking on more of the magical duties. After what Phoebe went through, losing her powers and all, why would Paige do such a huge act of personal gain like that?
I'm cutting off pointing out bad writing, plot holes, and such for the next special chapter. If you read this chapter then please review. If you have the time to read this then you have the time to review.
