I use to not like season 2 after the darker season one and 3. But now I feel like it's one of the strongest seasons where the one offs are the best. Three now to me is dull and lacking energy. Feels very bland. If the show was canceled what better way to end it then with the sisters saving the world.

Nope, they didn't portray older FEMALE characters very well (think of the difference between how they portrayed Grams and how they portrayed Victor...) or teenagers (think of all of the sisters when they were shown as teens, Aviva before the ending, Jenny, Kyle the Chosen One, Chris - he said he was in his twenties; I don't believe him because he acted like a teenaged brat, Billie -ditto, etc.) very well at all.

I still LIKE IT as a season but over the years it's the season I've grown most critical of. The other seasons have relatively stayed the same.

Still love it. Nothing has changed with me. Yes, a few stinkers in the season with not so good episodes, and I didn't enjoy the love triangle arc, but overall I still love it.

I still dislike it. Dan Gordon annoyed me the whole time he appeared on screen, and I just can't stomach S2 too much because of it.

Aaeiyn Avatar Aug 23, 2021 11:27:01 GMT 13 Aaeiyn said: I do believe it is a fan favorite (not me, but other Charmed fans). I do understand the opinions of others in expressing enjoying the sisterly dynamic (which I do agree with), but I can't help my distaste towards the Dan Gordon character. I'm being generous, when I say if we had to have had Dan around, I would've preferred if he dated Phoebe, instead. I think there was a lot of potential there, that didn't see the light of day. Instead, they decided to pair the guy with somebody who he has ZERO capabilities with. Yes me too.
I would have preferred Dan dating Phoebe until the mid-Season finale.
I am rewatching Season 2 at the moment and the first couple of episodes (except Morality Bites and They're Everywhere) feel so disjointed. Like there were too many writers in the room.
1) Watching Piper go to and from Leo makes me not enjoy her character. I feel like Dan was intended for Phoebe and then the Painted World/The Devils music somehow flip it around.
2) Piper is the one who needed a smart spell when the building code needed to get up to scratch and its would have made more sense in The Painted World if Phoebe got stuck in the painting, and Dan asking Phoebe for help with Jenny's sex ed homework off the back off the tampon advice in the previous episode.
3) Piper is romantically involved with the mortgage broker, Leo and Dan. And Phoebe calls her sexually over due in the sex department in the premier - when Leo came back at the end of Season 1 and there would have been Josh (who she was also complaining about at the end of Season 1). It makes me think how much sex Phoebe was having off-screen with people we didn't know about if she said Piper was overdue in the sex department.
I think this is the point that Brad Kern started to take more control of the show. 4) It seems like there is an idea to have Grams at the beginning of Season 2 in Witch Trial And Mo/Patty at the Mid Season finale - to keep the family history vibe going.
5) I know that through the documentaries that Billy Drago (Barbus) were friends and Brad would have bought him back for the Mid Season premier Ms Hellfire.
6) There is also a transition after the Mid-Summer break form Warlocks/Bad Witches to Demons. The show is slowly evolving.

I commented this as a "bookmark", so I can go into more detail on my "from dislike to like" journey. It's important to note, that my favorite sister used to be Piper, and I really don't like her, in S2. Because of that, it was hard for me to get into S2 because I still don't care for Prue and back then I didn't like S4E14-S5E14 Phoebe and felt Phoebe wasn't enough of a reason to endure S2. Now, that I've ditched Piper and love Phoebe, again (including S4E14-S5E14), I can appreciate S2 better. I always felt like S2 was Phoebe's strongest season, and I'm happy to enjoy watching it. I don't dislike Prue as much, but I feel like S2 Prue is so random and isn't the same Prue established in S1. IDK what S2 Prue's angle was, but she seemed to be the "background/irrelevant" sister, the same way S1 Piper was, IMO. Just kinda there and floating around with some minor BF storylines via Jack and Bane. Just like S1 Piper had with Leo and Josh. S2 feels like they forgot Prue existed so most of the work was done with Phoebe and Piper. I digress, and (OFC) Piper still irks me, in this season, but at least this season remembered about Phoebe who makes this season exciting. Not to mention a more interesting take with Phoebe's premonitions, this season. S1 was all about trying to stop future events (with the occasional "past" premonition here and there), S2 felt more in tuned with "past events" vs "future events". There were "future events", yes, but I feel like S2 focused more on "past events". I mean, it's how S2 was introduced, so LOL That's my "more detailed response", on why I changed my mind.

Despite the love triangle, I do still love S2.

Can someone please tell me what the episode is where Prue and Piper share a very sweet scene backstage at P3? I seem to remember Prue wearing a white dress and I think it's Season 2, although it could also be Season 3. The scene I refer to is among my favourites of Prue and Piper together, excelling in chemistry.

I'll need to make GIFs of it, at a later time.

I liked S2 when I first watched it but after a few rewatches I love it! It has so many fantastic episodes! I literally only dislike one or two.
