Andy Andy and Darryl's partnership The mystery and suspense without Leo healing or orbing the sisters out of trouble

I want to add something that's not listed, I miss one power each.

I want to add something that's not listed, I miss one power each. I voted all of the above. But I really like this Aaeiyn. It might be an unpopular opinion but I personally feel the extra powers added nothing to the show in the long run. Sure we got some instances where they were useful. But I could easily see them getting out of situations without them or just using their one power. I'm very pro-one power that grows and evolves but no secondary powers. I know most Charmed fans will disagree with me on this. But its just how I feel. I don't like how when they got a new power they often ignore their original power. Piper's new power is the worst offender. But I digress.

If you wanted to take a look at it. IK I added "extra" powers but for the most part kept it in line with their already base power. But, yes, S1 and maybe up until S2E9 "Ms. Hellfire" is the best with being only one power each.

I voted for "All of the above", of course, but I found myself instantly selecting Quake, Andy, and the Original scoring of music.
Quake provided an amazing setting for casual meet-ups, a sense of security, dinners, dates, bar talks, and even demonic/evil & magical occurrences. It makes me wish that Piper could've owned that place after the owners sold it to her or something. (Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the similar scenes we get with P3.)
Andy was the end-all-be-all for Prue. His death provided a sense of high stakes, but that type of traumatic event never happens again.. unless you count Paige's one-episode friend who died and became a zombie.
I can't stress enough how much I love hearing the little bits of gentle music that plays during moments of some scenes, and the brush of tranquility that washes over me is a feeling I yearn for when watching the later seasons.

But, yes, S1 and maybe up until S2E9 "Ms. Hellfire" is the best with being only one power each. I'll check it out. I understand doing that to keep it in theme of the thread. I really enjoyed seeing the evolution of their one power. All three had power growth. Phoebe's premonitions ALWAYS get so much hate. I think they are a very important gift that is useful.

I can't stress enough how much I love hearing the little bits of gentle music that plays during moments of some scenes, and the brush of tranquility that washes over me is a feeling I yearn for when watching the later seasons. I agree with all of the above. I don't see the reason why she couldn't have just stayed at Quake and worked her way up to owning it and possibly rebranding it. P3 (or a nightclub with another name) could've still been a hangout place for the Halliwell sisters like Buffy had with the Bronze. I don't see why they couldn't have a nice relaxing lunch or dinner at Quake then when it closes up they make their way to a nightclub for after dinner fun. I didn't think we ever had any real high stakes again after Andy died (in terms of a traumatic event unless you count Prue). Nobody else really died. The sisters all ended up getting happy endings, and it was just a little too perfect for my liking. It felt like a fantasy to me. I refuse to accept the flashforwards as canon. Yeah the music in S1 is so iconic. I really love the little gentle music or the way they do dramatic music. My all time favorite is when Phoebe finds the Book of Shadows the music that plays is perfect. I also cry every time when they have to send Melinda away its a beautiful piece of music and really sells the emotions of the characters. I had this dream that they would do a call-back moment where its Piper, Phoebe and Paige having to send Prue back like they did Melinda with Prue joking "You can always bring me back." I also feel the same way with Prue in 'A Witches Tail' appearing to Piper and helping her up. A better way to do a call-back to when Patty did the same for her. They could've done this without bringing back Shannen. I wouldn't care if its not her and like Patty in S1E13, we don't see her face. Obviously we never got Prue back, and I'll forever never forgive the show for how they treated Shannen and us never getting to see her again.
