I think I speak for quite the majority of Charmed fans, when I say that season 5-8 weren't....um...weren't good.
So let's imagine, Season 1-4 stays the way they are now, but you could change EVERYTHING in 5-8.
What would you do? Which guest characters would you/wouldn't introduce? The stories? Powers? Charmed children? Story-arcs? How many season would you Charmed version have? Which parts of the now S5-8 wouldn't you change?
I don't mean that you should write a fanfic, but just write a few keywords, so the others can get the idea. I think it's interesting to read different versions.

I always love sharing these ideas, because new ones always pop into my head!
First things first - Cole would have not been in season 5, he would have stayed dead when he had died in Long Live The Queen. Season 5 would have played out without Piper being pregnant with Wyatt - I didn't ever like the idea of her being pregnant at that time. The Crone would have been the main villain of the season, and would not have been vanquished so easily. She still could have foreseen a great power that was Piper's son without her being pregnant - her big vanquish could have been at the demonic market where she is talking to Chris, who is a mystery at that point. The gypsy clan who I always wanted to see more of could have helped in the vanquish of the Seer, since she was so old and they probably knew about her.. She could deliver her epic line "I've seen everything… Such power!!" and then the vanquish. They could have ended with a cliffhanger not knowing ANYTHING about Chris.
Season 6 could be about the fact that Chris came back to stop his brother from turning evil, but the sisters wouldn't have to constantly be worried about protecting him.
I'm not really sure where to go from there.. Haha. I definitely would want Zankou to be involved somehow, and Drake ending up with Phoebe! But NOT Inspector Sheridan, and Piper wouldn't get pregnant until the last season!

So let's imagine, Season 1-4 stays the way they are now, but you could change EVERYTHING in 5-8. If S1-S4 stay the same then Cole’s return was inevitable since he already was back in the S4 finale. And even though I wouldn’t want Piper or any sister having children until the end of the show, Piper is already pregnant at the end of the S4 finale. Keeping the balance tone of serious and humor of the previous seasons, this is what I came up with roughly so far: Season 5• Paige doesn’t quit her job. As Mr. Cowan mentioned, she now has flexible hours. Instead of the ridiculous temp jobs, innocents can be sent her way through social work job. She could meet Sam that way. She could even meet Henry this way. She would also try to help Cole instead of abandoning him like her sisters. This would obviously get her into a lot of trouble with them. • Phoebe won’t be a sudden celebrity with billboards and what not, because I’m sorry, all that was ridiculous. She will be happy to be an aunt but at the same time, she would think about the baby which the Seer claimed was never Phoebe’s. Being around Cole….I guess it’s just a bad reminder of that part and that’s why she just doesn’t want anything to do with him. Paige helping Cole worries and annoys her. But she might warm up to Cole when she sees him try hard to be good. • Piper…I guess being pregnant, she would be worried all the time. Even with a self-healing baby, I can imagine her worrying and not wanting trouble. So Paige helping Cole would also be one of the things she would be irritated by. But perhaps the realization that Cole was a victim and also lost a child because of the Source and Seer might make her warm up. Also instead of forgetting about Melinda, I would want Piper to wonder why she had a boy instead of girl. And instead of Grams pointing this out being taken for hatred for all men, Piper would take this into account. Crone’s vision of power so much power would also worry her. And Crone won’t die. • I would also want Elizabeth Turner to return try to be supporting to her son but at the same time, try to lure him back to the darkside. Since she’s not just a demon, but actually family too, it would be hard for Cole to resist for long. She could trick Cole into doing something that would again make the sisters lose faith in him again. Especially Paige who had been helping him for so long. Now abandoned by the sisters, she would be free to playing the doting, manipulative mother. • Paige tired of having to make decisions after consulting sisters, doing things on her own, and ofcourse given grief for helping Cole, who despite her best efforts couldn’t be helped, finally wants to move out. • The season finale can be a two-parter where Cole accepts the Avatars offer and changes reality(his mother playing a big part in that too), with only Cole and his mother remembering. This reality would have Prue alive. Wyatt doesn't exist. Paige is able to end up in this reality too. I haven't thought of more in much detail about Phoebe's role. But Paige and Prue can finally have their sisterly bonding moment, even though Paige feels guilty that turning things back to normal would mean ending Prue too and this is something Piper doesn't want, no matter how many times Paige tries to convince her that she would get her son back who doesn't exist because of what Cole did. And all the innocents who they saved who are dead now. In the end, Prue convinces Piper it's the right thing to do. Cole also finally realizes how much his Mommy Dearest tricked him and in the end....well things end tragically for Cole and his mother. But I want Cole to try to redeem himself in the end before he's vanquished for the final time. After everything is back to normal, Paige decides to not move out. • Crone can releases the Titans. Because a random demon releasing the Titans of all things and saying he would use them to rule the Underworld….somebody needs to give that writer a death sentence And that’s the end of Season 5. Season 6The thing I hated about Chris is that he just suddenly pops out of nowhere….and well, let’s just say the whole Oh my Goddess episode was bad, but Chris’s inclusion sort of made it a thousand times worst. Another thing which got annoying was the over-focus on Leo and Piper. The whole show became about them, rather than what it was originally supposed to be, about three sisters who happen to be witches. • So what I would’ve wanted would be a either one or a two-parter premiere showing the dark and bleak future and introduce Chris though we’re not sure whose son he is, only that he is a Halliwell. The episode can have us mislead that the dark future was Titans doing. Because Chris is going back in time when the Titans first attacked. That he is going back to protect the Charmed Ones and Wyatt. That is until Chris stays on in the past even after the Titans are defeated. • We find out releasing the Titans was Crone’s way of catching the Elders attention. If she really wanted all the Elders dead she would’ve released all the Titans rather than three. She is able to locate one of the Elders in hiding, Gideon and reveals that there’s a bigger threat to both their worlds than the Titans and shows him the vision. • After Titans, while Leo becomes an Elder, Gideon stays on Earth with the pretense of opening a Magic School to help witches learn and maybe make sure someone releasing Titans like that never happens again. Real motive is obviously to get rid of Wyatt. • While Chris going back in time to save Wyatt because he is his brother sounds good. Too much focus on Piper and Leo became problematic to me in S6. So I wouldn’t mind Chris instead was made Paige’s son. One sister’s son evil in the future and one is good trying to save him. And if he can’t, he will stop him. All that’s gonna test their sisterly bonds to the limit. Well that’s what I've gotten so far.

I've written a story where Chris steps as they bless Wyatt at his Wiccaning ceremony which could have happened what they had shown us. And my new following seasons follow most of what was seen but with some twits. I like to mix up the seasons.

So very much how the series should've continued!!! I'd love to see how you would end it. I particularly like the idea of Chris being Paige's rather than Piper's, so all of the emphasis wouldn't just be on Piper's family. Of course there's another possibility which I've seen in fanfics and that I would've love to have seen on the series - that Chris is the Phoetus - Cole and Phoebe's - not back in order to save Wyatt, but instead back to try to murder his mother for abandoning him! Now *that* would've been fun!

I think you've read it twice now. But I'm glad you enjoyed it the second time too Even I like to know how I'm going to end it. And by end you mean season 7 and 8 or season 6's end? Season 7 might not be that hard to do, but improving season 8? I guess I'll take that as a challenge Why go back to murder your mother for abandoning you when you can easily do it in the future? Chris being Phoebe/Cole’s son poses the same problem as Piper and Leo. Too much focus on Phoebe and Cole. And they actually received more focus than Piper and Leo in season 3 and season 4. I guess that’s the main reason I’ve never been invested in Chris being Phoebe’s son. Although I like the concept(assuming Chris is good) that Wyatt destined to be good succumbed to evil in the future while the baby who was abandoned and considered evil was actually good and doing everything he can to save him. But that doesn’t mean I can’t find another way to incorporate Evil Phoetus somehow

it'd be very interesting to read some more creations. Here’s me trying my hand at Season 7. Like season 6, season 7 also had potential to be something great, but yet again, the good ideas and the talents of the actors were wasted because for some reason, Kern and company believed audiences were more interested in watching things like the sisters finding men, going on dates, Piper whine about kids and normal life and Leo, etc. Avatars were actually a very good concept. Much better than Zankuo which was the same old recycled plot in leather pants and even the Billie and Christy concept in season 8. I say concept not execution. The concept of fellow witches and the magical community turned against the Charmed Ones was good, but Billie and Christy, the Triad and whatever the hell happened was…even awful would be an understatement. Even though I haven’t figured much about how season 6 or whether Chris should be Paige’s or Piper’s son, two things I’m absolutely sure of I want: Chris death in the finale and Gideon being responsible for it and also making an attempt on Wyatt’s life. For now, I’ll assume Gideon dies by Leo’s hands. I’m also assuming Chris is Piper and Leo’s son at the moment. And Gideon also kills Sigmund too. So here are the points for season 7: • What I found unrealistic was the consequences of two things: Chris’s death and Gideon. Losing a sister is one thing, but losing a child no matter what their age should be devastating to not only Leo(seeing Gideon was his mentor), but Piper as well. Paige and Phoebe should also be affected in some way. So the whole ‘meh we stopped Gideon, Chris is alive’ attitude was kind of ridiculous in S7. There should be worries and doubts of Chris facing the same fate again. It should even make all of them regret continuing on instead of accepting Angel of Destiny’s offer. I mean they’ve been fighting demons this whole time and what gets one of their kids(well actually both their kids) wasn’t a demon, but an Elder. So their whole world should be shaken by this incident. • Gideon trying to kill Wyatt and having killed Chris, not to mention one of the Magic School teachers too shouldn’t just impact the Halliwells. But much more. He was the headmaster of Magic School. Apart from Wyatt, other children also attended. So other parents naturally would fear the same happening, wouldn’t they? A Headmaster kidnapped one of the children and then attempted to kill him and killed one of the teachers when he tried to warn people. It’s ridiculous other parents and teachers wouldn’t care. On top of that, Elders are mysterious beings to most witches and this incident should have them questioning and wondering more about who or what they really are and things like the fate of other hybrid babies not to mention what would the Elders done to Paige if she was discovered? So thanks to Gideon and even the Elders’ actions, their reputation will slowly crumble infront of witches and the rest of the magical community. Then in step the Avatars offering a better world. • Of course at first no one would believe them. But when demons start popping into the Charmed Manor wanting to be human(among them the Seer Kira and Drake), and Kira shows vision of good winning and a demon-free world, something Elders couldn’t do in thousand years and after having sacrificed other witches and their loved ones as well, Charmed Ones and Leo will be tempted by the Avatars offer. So will the rest of the magical community. Seeing the Avatars want to change the whole world, it makes sense to involve other witches and magical beings also this season, besides the Charmed Ones to make such a decision. • After everyone agrees(perhaps an untoward incident occurs like Kira and Drake being killed), world is changed, unknown the price they paid. Their freewill. Unlike in the show, Leo will also be affected. You think after what happened with Cole, the Avatars would learn their lesson. So save for demons and Elders, the world is unaware of the cost they paid. • Now for waking up the Charmed Ones from their freewill states, instead of sequence flashbacks by Phoebe by touching the book, I would really prefer a dream sequence like scenario like what we saw in S8 Jung and the Restless. Except instead of their desires, like to see them dealing with physical manifestations of pain and loss….and accepting it before they break-free of the Avatars hold on them. I want Cole to be involved in the waking up the Charmed Ones operation as he was the one who was an Avatar and with this knowledge he becomes invaluable and something the Elders resurrect temporary when they learn about Cole’s brief stint as an Avatar. So instead of Leo, Cole snaps Phoebe out of it who then does the same for her sisters. • Unlike the show when they wake up, the Avatars don’t just bend backwards and surrender. So once they’ve awoken, the whole world would be against them along with Leo also….who was the most in pain after Future Chris’s death and betrayal by Gideon and doesn’t want to deal with the pain. Not dealing with pain means you’re still under Avatars control. So waking up the world wouldn’t be an easy task. Especially when the world and Avatars give them the same treatment as for demons. Which is annihilation. • Haven’t figured out more, but I do want the Avatars to not hand over their perfect world without a fight so they later change their minds from annihilating demons to using them to get rid of the Charmed Ones and anyone who's helping them. Charmed Ones join forces with Elders, few demons and rest who didn’t see from the Avatar point of view. We could even have Prue, Grams and Patty(the ones responsible for informing the Elders about Cole) and other Halliwell witches to help them. Good and evil fighting together to get rid of Avatars and save--or rather wake the world up, well for evil it’s to save themselves from extinction. And hence we have our Ultimate Battle. • After the Ultimate Battle, seeing Avatars would’ve probably wiped out more than enough demons, we have our temporary truce between good and evil. And after that…well is there a reason for season 8 after this? Seeing the concept of fellow witches and magical community being against the Charmed Ones is already incorporated into season 7?

First I'll start by saying that I liked the original S7 Avatar plot just about as much as you liked the Zankou plot - it very simply made me abhor the Charmed Ones and Leo even more than I had before...
But if it had been something like this...oh, yes, then it would've been the perfect way to END the show!!!

I'm shocked to find that you'd even consider continuing into Season 8, but definitely curious to see what you do with it. I’m equally shocked too After Source, demons, Elders, then Avatars, magical community and witches against them, what else was there which the Charmed Ones could face off against in Season 8? Simple answer. Themselves. Or their evil selves. And no, not the parallel/mirror world ones which mirror each other movements. Alternate Ones. From another reality. One where Phoebe choose a different path and remaining Queen of the Underworld. And somehow turning Piper and Paige as well. Or perhaps Cole going back in time succeeded in turning Melinda evil or something else—their back story could be explored in detail because there won’t be much point to focus so much on the original Charmed Ones. As Cole demonstrated, Avatars have unlimited power, changing time and reality, bring back the dead, basically make anything possible. Avatars in desperation of losing Utopia, could bring the Evil Charmed Ones. But Avatars are destroyed or weakened before they could use Evil Charmed Ones to win the Ultimate Battle. After the writers constantly churned out episode after episode of sisters turning evil, or demons-shape shifting into the sisters, possessing and what not, why not just get it out of their system and focus a whole season on Charmed Ones as the Big Bads? Watching them how they turned and what they did for the remaining years before they were rudely pulled into a different reality to defeat their counterparts by the Avatars would’ve been something to watch. Especially with how their powers would’ve worked or how exactly the Power of Three would work. I guess Evil Charmed Ones would have to break-up the Power of Three so they could access it? But I guess it makes sense two sets of Charmed Ones can’t exist like this for long and have to either go out of existence or merge if their reality has disappeared. This might not be grand Ultimate Battle scale, but the personal stakes are very high. Seeing Evil Piper’s idea of a normal life means turning Wyatt, Chris and Leo to her side and getting rid of Piper. Instead of the silly evil nanny demon resurrecting the Half-Face Source in S8, we could have Evil Phoebe using Wyatt to bring her son to life. This is the only thing which makes sense if there needs to be a season 8. Which of course is the last season this time. Unless I get another idea

I would've loved to have seen something like that as the last season rather than what we got.
But honestly, if this had followed what you showed as your 7th season, I would've been grumbling about how they should've ended it while they were ahead, just like we do with the last two real seasons. Had you had something like that for Season 7 - oh, yes! I'd actually prefer it. But following that? No, it would be a letdown.
Sincerely, Season 8 should've been the first season of whatever you'd want a spin-off to be - as long as it had absolutely nothing to do with Billie or Christy!

Had you had something like that for Season 7 - oh, yes! I'd actually prefer it. But following that? No, it would be a letdown. Avatars appear to be the only logical way to bring a different set of Charmed Ones. A random demon popping out of nowhere chanting a spell to bring the Evil Charmed Ones in one of the previous seasons similar to how the Titans were released in the show, I’d probably kill myself than ever write something like that. Just because you get a truce with demons and Avatars are seemingly defeated doesn’t mean happily ever after. There would be repercussions, just like there were repercussions of Gideon’s actions resulting in Avatars taking over. Here it’s the evil version of the sisters. Hardly a letdown seeing two most powerful sister witches go against each other, literally. And a set of sisters who aren’t Billie and Christy. Compared to other battles, fighting oneself is probably the most hardest. And did I not mention there would be Phoetus? So fighting yourself and the son you abandoned, much harder than a demon army of millions I’d say. Can’t see it as a let-down, especially if the evil set of Charmed Ones instead of being Piper, Phoebe and Paige are Prue, Piper and Phoebe. Though seeing Rose’s acting as evil is always spectacular, I would love to see half-darklighter half-warlock Paige. But seeing if Prue is alive, she wouldn’t be a Charmed One.

Oh, definitely agree with all of this - and actually the best ending of your alternate Charmed would probably be some sort of combination of your Season Eight and Season Seven with some great cliffhanger in between.
I'm just saying that for me personally, if you aired your Season Seven followed by your Season Eight, I would've found Season Eight a letdown, thinking that it should've ended with Season Seven just because your Season Seven is so strong - just like in the real show, although obviously your Season Eight is 1,0000 times better than the real one - just about anything would be better.
Here's an interesting twist for you. You said all of this was based on Season Four having been aired. If you simply started it with "All Hell Breaks Loose", would you have kept Season Four as is, or would you have changed it, and how would that have affected what you'd want to see in Seasons 5-8?

Well, there's a lot that I would've liked to have seen different in Season Four (just about the whole thing...) BUT if you'd like to have seen Phoebe as the Queen longer, would you have liked to have seen Prue survive (so all the episodes about Paige becoming part of the family could've been episodes about Phoebe as Queen) with Phoebe stuck in the Underworld (with her and Cole overthrowing the Source right away so she would've become Queen) as the price for Piper surviving the original attack?
AND if it was something like that (no Paige...) what difference would that have made for S5-8, well, except for the obvious...?
*shrug* If you don't like that idea at all, please don't feel like you're stuck with using it. Just throwing ideas at you to see if they help you figure out the answer to my question.
In case you can't tell by now, I love what if's...
