So the episode of Charmed that mocked and berated reality-competition shows was slaughtered in ratings by a reality competition show? Pahahahaha! Brilliant.

The irony's biting, isn't it?   This was the very Survivor finale that nuked the ratings of "Witch Wars," BTW.  25 million viewers!

So VERY happy to hear that you're going to continue this into the next season. Although "A Call to Arms" (and some of the other earlier episodes) just proves BettyNewbie's assertion that most of the early episodes in *all* the seasons were ordered by The WB so they could use them for promotions. Just the fact that they were promoting it that way shows how very little respect TheWB had for Charmed - when they looked at it, all they saw was sex and costumes....

That really seems to be the case, especially with the later seasons. Look at Seasons 5-8, and you notice that most of the crappy costume episodes and mandated guest stars are in the earlier parts of seasons. That is not a coincidence.

There is a reason I call the later seasons Brad Kern's Playboy Fantasy Hour.

Prince Charmed 2: The Devil Wears Wigs
Aka. A Wrong Day’s Journey into Right
Aka. Stormy Leather… which, to be fair, is probably more the feel that Kern had in mind for this one.


So having lost her powers, Phoebe lies there on her lazy arse and admits that Paige has been doing everything. Hey Phoebe, you still have witchcraft! Get up and scry or something!

Pretty cool effect for the Smoker Demons. Shame they’re vanquished so swiftly by the Pornos.

One Porno down. Actually, Phoebe, I take back what I said. May as well go home and lie down since you contributed absolutely nothing to the fight. 

Phoebe: Yeah, they've gotta be working for someone else. What powerful demons do you know that would dress that tacky?
Dunno about demons Phoebe, but I could name a witch or two.

Paige conjures her slave… the episode right after they were told to be more careful with magic. Why am I not surprised?

More of Phoebe feeling oh so sorry for herself.
Phoebe: I'm afraid I'm right back to where I started again.
Pfft, I wish! No danger of that, Phoebe!

Leo: Well, I came down here to help, remember? At least until the baby's born.
Right, because after the baby is born, things will get really easy. That’s the time to shoot off and leave her to it!

So the actual name they’ve given the Pornos is Demonatrix. Demon…atrix. You see what they did there? Did you get their pun? Aren’t they clever? Don’t you wanna jump off something really tall?

More of the “I live to please you” BS that we already heard in Prince Charmed from the first "Mr. Right".

Vincent: "What once resided in this place, shall soon be gone with no haste, make this girl age in time, as punishment for her heinous crime."
So the Porno ages and disintegrates in about 2 seconds. Do you guys even read your own scripts?

Sigmund is levitating. Pahahaha! As if to rub it in Phoebe’s face. They JUST removed Phoebe’s powers because levitation cost too much to do and what are they doing the episode immediately after? So already we have another hugely self-motivated and unethical use of magic… and we have somebody levitating. Unbelievable!

Phoebe tries to orb… or pass a kidney stone. In fairness to her, pretty much everyone and their cousin orbs in this show these days, so meh!

Eeeevil car shopping. Muah haha!

Chris you dingbat, you can orb! What the hell are you stealing a car for?

Paige: Well, we did it for Piper before.
Phoebe: Yes, but that was different. We were trying to convince her to not give up on love. We were desperate.
Oh please. Don’t get me wrong, I’m disgusted with Paige too… but Phoebe, really, you wanted to get Piper laid in 24hrs before the guy disappeared into nothingness. Stop pretending that love had anything to do with it! Also, while I’m pretty much with you regarding this, maybe be careful about how many stones you throw from that glass house of yours.

You go Darryl! Yeah, stand your ground!

Piper: Wait, wait, wait. Mr. Right, as in my Mr. Right?
Paige: No, that would be gross. My Mr. Right.
It's gross anyway Paige! It is freakin' gross.

Phoebe: She may want a lot of crazy things, but she'd never want to be with a demon.
Yes, that would be crazy wouldn’t it Phoebe? Ahem... *raises eyebrow*.

So the pheromones are effecting Paige’s mind and helping Vincent lure her to the dark side. So this pretty much confirms that Paige and Phoebe really did have Piper magically roofied for her birthday.

Woohoo, now Darryl is telling Leo to stick it.

Phoebe of the Wig, part four.

Piper: Not bad for a chick who can’t levitate.
Sure, ignoring that she would’ve had a face full of throwing star if not for your freeze. Okay, I’m being uncharitable; she did take out five Pornos solo. Shame she forgets she’s capable of that in the following seasons and becomes Phoebe: Moving Target Extraordinaire.

Finally, Paige and Vincent part ways in an incredibly lukewarm scene… and of course we won’t see him ever again. Ah, the end of yet another whirlwind Charmed romance.

[Esmeralda]

That was another "meh" episode for me - too much of a repeat. And although I enjoyed your bashing, it was just, well, let's put it this way. I just want this season to be over...

[Deleted]

Prince Charmed 2

Yeah, let's make a sequel to a rubbish episode.  What could possibly go wrong

So having lost her powers, Phoebe lies there on her lazy arse and admits that Paige has been doing everything. Hey Phoebe, you still have witchcraft! Get up and scry or something!

Actually Phoebe still had one power left:  She could make her clothes disappear in the blink of an eye

Phoebe: Yeah, they've gotta be working for someone else. What powerful demons do you know that would dress that tacky?

Pot meet kettle.

So the actual name they’ve given the Pornos is Demonatrix. Demon…atrix. You see what they did there? Did you get their pun? Aren’t they clever? Don’t you wanna jump off something really tall?

Finally, Paige and Vincent part ways in an incredibly lukewarm scene… and of course we won’t see him ever again. Ah, the end of yet another whirlwind Charmed romance.

I don't even remember this bloke.

Ah, it's Vincent that gets to go and be a real boy and live a real life. Whenever I watch Size Matters in season four, I always think that it's Finn that gets that ending (within that season four episode), but then he always ends up dying. I don't know why I'd ever get that episode mixed up with this one in regards to the non-real guys that fall for Paige.

[Deleted]

Yep. I wonder if they give him an identity in a similar way to in season 8. He just seems to walk out into the world like it's nothing... no ID, no birth certificate, no bank accounts etc.

Just two more episodes left (counting it as 2 since I'll probably do one long post for the two parter) and then I can start tearing into the juicy rotten meat that is A Call to Arms, Bare Witch Project, Cheaper By the Coven and Charrrrmed!

[Chrisaholic]

Good reviews when I've watched these episodes not so long ago as well. But I start here soon S8, my ass! So not happy about it!

And this is post 9/11 America.  I wonder how far the poor chap got before Homeland Security grabbed him.

[ljones]

Zankou turns Wyatt instead of Gideon. Better to have an intelligent villain with motives that make sense.

Actually, I rather liked the idea of Gideon's paranoia and self-righteousness being responsible for driving Wyatt to evil. This story line undermined the Whitelighters' moral compass in a way that left me cackling with glee. As you can see, I still dislike the idea of the whitelighers.

What Charmed needed was someone in charge who could plan out good story arcs and carry them thought successfully. Hollywood is full of such people. Unfortunately, Brad Kern wasn't one of them.

I heartily agree.

And like you, that statement has very, very little to do with the guys (who all seemed like the same guy with different names to me, with the exception of Leo and Cole, who both would've been SO much better off if they didn't falling for a Halliwell woman - Leo would still be his angelic self and Cole would still be his demonic self and not WIMPS!) and plenty to do with the Charmed One. Charmed Ones in love just aren't very likeable very often. Oh, every now and then, they surprise us (Piper & Leo at the end of "Astral Monkey" immediately comes to mind...but not very often.

Esmarelda, I think I'm finally beginning to understand why you don't like the idea of the Halliwell sisters not getting seriously involved in romance. And I think I'm beginning to agree with you. When Andy first realized that the sisters were witches, I thought the idea of a permanent romance between him and Prue was great. Then I recalled how she would always enforce her will upon him by threatening to "use her power" on him. I wonder how many times Andy would have put up with that?

I didn’t mention it before in "Soul Survivor", but I always thought Phoebe redirecting fire/energy balls with empathy was total BS.

THANK YOU!!!!

Ratings Wars: Lost Grip on Reality
aka. Witch Wars


Stupid intro. Less than half a minute in and already I hate it. Forgot how stupid this episode was.

Stupid flaming text. I hate you too!

Gideon: He's on the witch killer path, which you all should be focusing on as well.
Phoebe: We actually have bigger things to deal with, Gideon. Like trying to figure out who's after Wyatt.
Yeah, screw those witches, right guys? They can fend for themselves. Apathy towards innocent’s suffering is a sure fire way to keep Wyatt on the right track.

Look more nervous and obvious Giddy! No really, do, I’d like if we could move this along a little more quickly.

Chris: What happens to Wyatt happens before I'm born.
Paige: What?
Phoebe: And you're just telling us this now?
Well duh, that’s the Chris way. Plus they just decided on it this second. Geesh this is terribly written.

Little bit of demon torture. Cool vanquish effect.

Paige is worried that Phoebe will get attacked since she no longer has her powers. Yeah she can’t possibly defend herself without the ability to float 6ft or yap on at them about their feelings.

Demons watch TV now. Way to suck that last morsel of mystery out of the supernatural world guys.

The games masters. Urgh, these two suck.

Phoebe: No, it's not about a guy. It's about a reporter, one who knows everything there is to know about crime and criminal investigation, and since we don't have Darryl's help anymore, he's the only resource we have.
You know Phoebe, Google is a thing you can use.

Gideon: The Power of Three isn't a factor at the moment because Piper is convalescing at my school for the duration of her pregnancy.
The power of three hasn’t been a factor in a while now, let’s be honest.

Stupid Gideon and his stupid pink orbs!

Paige: Witches under attack. I don't want anymore of them getting killed, and that includes my sister who is now determined to stay at the office, ever since your son dropped his little bomb this morning.
Chris: I already said I was sorry.
Leo: And he shouldn't have to say it again.
Beware Leo, the uber dad! Nobody dare criticize my son!!!  Also...shut the hell up Leo.

Urgh the demon bar. Every one of these overacting idiots makes me want to kick the TV screen.

Piper is a raving loon at Notwarts.
Piper: A problem? You mean like when Wyatt was playing with that little girl at the play-doh table this morning?
Mrs. Winterbourne: You mean Emily? She's such a sweet little psychic.
Piper: She stole his dough, right out of his hands, and you did absolutely nothing.
Yes, conjuring a dragon can be shrugged off, but stealing play-doh? Give that kid the electric chair!

So Giddy won’t kill a mortal or a witch, because innocents, but he’s totally cool with baby murdering. He really is cuckoo isn’t he?

Leo flipped that huge Brute Demon? Pahaha. Yeah, okay, whatever you say guys.

Paige: Where are the cameras?
Couldn’t you just hold out your hands, yell cameras and hey presto? Oh sorry, right, can’t orb a gun... never mind.

Chris: Because I didn't think it was relevant.
Paige: Okay, that's your theme song of today. Did you notice?
Leo: Paige.
Yeah Paige, I told you- DO NOT CRITICIZE SPAWN OF LEO!!! Don’t want to have to warn you again.

Leo: No sicker than any other reality tv show. (Paige and Chris give him a look.) I'm just saying.
Yes, murdering people live wouldn’t be any worse than what we have on now. I’m not a fan myself, but even so... shut up Leo!

Gideon: I have no intention of letting that happen. I only want Wyatt eliminated, not them.
Yeah, see, he ONLY wants to murder the baby. Everyone just needs to chill and lay off of him, okay?

What’s up with the demons turning to skeletons as they burst into flames? Don’t get me wrong, it’s a pretty cool effect, but I’m pretty sure they only do it in this episode.

Phoebe can shimmer and throw energy balls (pretty basic powers these days) and apparently that makes her completely unstoppable against a bar full of demons. Not one of them even tries to fight back. Wow, what a bunch of losers.

Phoebe is even more obnoxious than usual.
Phoebe: “Who wants to stab me?”
People all around the world raise their hand. I rush to the kitchen and begin sharpening my knives in preparation. Sadly, Paige beats me to it.

I can’t believe these dumbos seriously think those pathetic game show hosts were the big evil. Well no, that’s untrue, I can.

Gideon blows up Sigmund. Can’t say I have too much sympathy, harsh as that may sound. If Giddy can use his “greater good” line to rationalize the killing of a child, can you really be that surprised when he uses it to justify killing you or anyone else?

Finale up next guys.

And this episode got its a** kicked in the ratings by a real Reality Show.  Oh, the irony of it all.

And I can't wait to read it! I know you said before that you like that episode. Definitely curious to see if getting a chance to rewatch Season Six like that will change your mind... Although please don't try to be mean if you truly like it. I'm really curious to see what your true reactions are before we get to have the fun of "Call to Arms".

Anyone else think TheWB not only came up with the costumes for their publicity shots, but also came up with those dorky titles and the plotline for the first few episodes of each of the last few season? I must say I like your titles a whole lot more!

Haha thank you, I'm already thinking of titles for season 7.

Just watched the finale, will try to get the post up tonight. It felt different watching it in a season rewatch, I think season 6 has worn me down a bit, but I still enjoyed it for the most part. Definitely found that I enjoyed part 2 more than part 1 though.

Will post soon

I remember so little of that episode - outside of thinking that I found it funny that the Mirror Charmed Ones weren't all that evil, just ugly, the way the real Charmed Ones weren't all that good, just beautiful, and, as I've mentioned before, screaming at Leo not to give Wyatt to Chris because I was sure that that was when Chris was going to kill Wyatt, and also not understanding why Leo would kill for someone he's hated so much for so long, especially when this Chris isn't truly his son - his son is being born - this Chris is the son of a totally different Leo. And the whole "having to do a great harm in order to fix it" is just about the stupidest thing the show came up with. The only thing stupider is the idea of the the Grand Design or Great Design or whatever Design it is. That's been the fun of these - getting reminded about what happened and why I hate this season so mcuh.

Will post soon

Definitely looking forward to it.

As long as Cole should've put up with the way PhoeME treated him in S5 (although unlike Prue and Piper, she had the proper reason - he SO shouldn't have been portrayed as an insane stalker!) and as long as Leo should've put up with the way Ms Whinealot treated him in S4-8? And unlike those two wimps, IF HE WAS WRITTEN CONSISTENTLY WITH HOW HE WAS WRITTEN IN SEASON ONE, the way Leo wasn't and the way Cole wasn't consistent with how he was written in S3 - I firmly believe Andy would've walked out on Prue - the same way both Cole and Leo should've on Phoebe and Piper.

I always thought Chris was an interesting mix of Prue and Piper's personalities.

Just spot this and I laughed and laughed and laughed. You are so exactly correct!

It’s Been a Long, Long, Long, Long Season (parts 1&2)

Only kidding with the title... mostly. As much as I’ve criticized, I must admit, with the exception of maybe a handful of truly horrendous episodes, I have actually enjoyed this watch through and posting about it. So without further ado; onto the two parter.



So we’re sending Chris back to his time and Gideon wants to send him and Leo to Bizzaro World. I must admit, if Gideon wanted Chris out of the way, I’ve never been sure why he wouldn’t be happy for them to succeed in sending him back... but hey ho. Season finale, feeling generous.

We meet the woman who’s been shacked up in old neighbour Dan’s house, Mrs. Noble. I know I’m supposed to be against her; the eeeevil neighbour making poor, poor Phoebe’s life so much harder... but I’m totally with her. If that b!tch blocked me in all week, I’d be playing amateur mechanic!

Phoebe is avoiding Chris. Yes, you heard me, Phoebe avoiding someone. I know, doesn’t sound like her does it?

Sheila: This is getting to be a habit isn’t it? Me showing up a wreck.
Actually Sheila I’m fairly sure you shouldn’t remember that, but hey ho, finale.

Sheila: I went to his work the other day just to say hi and I saw an arrest warrant on his desk, for Chris.
Phoebe: Chris? Are-are you sure?
Erm well yeah, why so surprised? You know you can’t just decide that you’re not arrested anymore, right?

So Sheila asks Phoebe what happened with Darryl and Phoebe completely pussyfoots around it. “He got scared trying to cover for us.” Oh yeah Phoebe, that accurately sums it up. Way to completely minimize what he went through! Nothing like a death sentence to make you a little freakin' anxious! 

Gideon successfully makes Leo and Chris believe that the potion fails, despite it all being on the floor without a drop on the wall... but these two are massive dingbats, so of course that’s neither here nor there.

I actually find Bizarro Gideon to be even more tedious than regular Gideon... or it might just be having two Gideon’s in one scene.

Darryl tells Phoebe and Paige to stick it. This scene could have been so much greater if he’d given them hell about stealing his soul at the start of this season. Then the writers could’ve pretended like they’d planned it; having Darryl gradually reach his limit with their BS over the season.

Phoebe: There’s a warrant out for Chris’s arrest.
Leo: What?
Okay again, HE JUST LEFT PRISON OF HIS OWN ACCORD! Why are you guys surprised by this? You really are used to the world bending to your every whim aren’t you?

Piper and Chris’ hug goodbye does get to me a bit; mostly knowing this is the last she’ll see of him. Well... until Forever Charmed screws it up, but let’s not go there.

Piper/Phoebe/Paige: In this place and in this hour, we call upon the ancient power, open the door through time and space. Create a path to another place.
Another place? Guys, could you possibly be LESS specific? You’re honestly surprised that this ended up going wrong?

Woohoo, here we go. Bizarro Leo and Chris. Oh where to start? Well Chris just needs a haircut and a shower really... but Leo? The hair spikes and that face fuzz, pahahaha! Oh it’s beautiful hehe.

Phoebe: I don’t understand. If they’re just like our Leo and Chris, then why do we need a crystal cage to trap them?
Evil versions you moron. Should Gideon have prepared a PowerPoint with some colourful illustrations for you?

Bizarro Chris and Leo beat up Darryl. Youch, he looks beaten badly. I can just hear the writers now: “Yeah, Darryl totally deserves this for not helping the sisters. Karma!” Well screw you, imaginary writers in my head!

Phoebe: Well, I don’t think that helped our cause any.
Here’s a CRAZY idea Phoebe. Maybe if you actually approached Darryl because you care about him. Not because he can get Chris out of jail, not because Bizarro Chris and Leo are where he is, but because he’s your friend and you actually give a sh!t. Hm? But of course that won’t happen will it?

Bizarro Gideon (to Gideon): I like the way you think.
Shut up Bizarro Gideon. That’s one thing I hate about double episodes, the terrible “we’re the same” jokes.

"Two worlds that mirror each other when they're in balance. And they no longer are."
Pervy Bizarro Gideon makes squishy booby hand gestures at Phoebe and Paige as he talks and they look grossed out. Hahaha. Okay, I’m actually enjoying Bizarro Gideon more now.

So Charmed’s Bizarro World is basically my home town. I like how amongst all the dirt and grime, the Manor is perfectly preserved heh.

“Ask Phoebe. Read me…or else.”
Is that not her tagline anyway? Kinda fitting since you get her advice whether you like it or not.

P3 is a strip club.
Bizarro Darryl: Last time I saw them was at the police station. Me and my boys were trying to give Chris what he deserved. But Leo orbed him away. I’ve never seen him run from a fight before.
Aww see now I’d rather have seen that scene than Darryl getting beat up. That could have been pretty cool seeing how corrupt Bizarro World is.

Barbas, the demon of hope. Wouldn’t he be the demon of courage if we’re playing the opposite game? Never mind, Billy Drago entertains me far too much because he manages to be even weirder as a good guy ha. The way he raises his arms and chirpily announces: “hope springs eternal” always gets me.

I actually like Phoebe’s Mohawk, call me crazy... 

The different versions of Phoebe and Paige fight. Paige’s battle is pretty cool. Phoebe’s is just a little too awkward...which I know is kinda the point, but meh. 

Gideon finally gets to Wyatt and Wyatt gets all stabby again. It’s actually kinda funny seeing Giddy knifed by the baby hehe.

Phoebe: No, but we do have…
Evil Phoebe: The Power of Four.
No you don’t. Two sisters and their doubles don’t make “the power of” anything, alright?

When Phoebe is shot, Paige calls for someone about 5 times too many... it’s like Rose is awkwardly repeating the line like “okay... are the credits rolling yet?”

End of part 1 and I have a sudden thought: imagine if season 6 had ended there. If instead of A Call to Arms, season 7 opened in Creepy-Happyville. Maybe they would’ve been in this horrible, freakish world for months before 7x1, still trying to work out how to fix the cosmic damage. But then I guess the issue of Gideon would be unresolved, but anyway, just a thought. Just that I’d like to know more about how this sinister reality works. Anyway, I’m rambling, onto part 2.

Phoebe: Wait, so are you saying because of what he did, our world is bad now, too?
Leo: No, on the contrary. It's good. Too good. Where every little infraction is a capital offense and everyone just accepts it.
No Leo, it is bad. Murdering and/or mutilating someone for where they park their car and stuff is not too good. It’s freakin’ bad!

Don’t blame Leo for losing faith in the Elders, I mean if they can’t even commit to a robe, what’s the point?

Hospitals have basically become amputation centers for rule breakers. Chilling.

Phoebe: The Power of Four has worked before.
Stop calling it that!

Piper casts a spell to make Phoebe and Paige really stoned.

Heh, happy Paige and Phoebe are cool with Chris being arrested. Not sure why when Chris knocks Darryl on his arse, Darryl doesn’t kick the door down and start shooting; given this world’s way of dealing with rule breakers.

I do enjoy how Barbas mocks Giddy constantly.

Illusion of Evil Wyatt. At least Wes doesn’t seem to be doing the weird half-English accent this time round. Also Excalibur, because that’s still a thing.

Chris gets stabbed. He really should have orbed, but I’ve noticed he suffers from the same ‘power forgetting’ affliction as his youngest aunt.

Barbas tries to kill Wyatt and he orbs out.
Barbas (big grin on face): Slippery li’l devil isn’t he?
Haha, Barbas is fun this episode.

GAH, never noticed all the SQUAT team guys holding Paige at gun point have huge grins on their faces. Creepy!

Leo and Bizarro Leo find each other in the mirrors and give each other a shocked onceover. Haha, can just imagine what they’re thinking.
Leo: “That hair!”
B.Leo: “That plaid!”

Chris’ death is a sad scene, though the thing that always gets me the most is Paige blubbering in the background. Rose was very convincing.

Leo suddenly has lightning bolts, because Elders are pacifists ya know? To be fair, Gideon did actually use this power earlier, but I have to wonder why he doesn’t put up more of a fight in that case.

Yay, Gideon stabbed... again. Now Leo has super-strength too apparently. He’s doing very well this episode.

Wow Leo really fries Gideon huh? I like that this isn’t all A-okay and it carries into next season. I mean compare that to Rick Gittridge.

Piper looks freakin’ great considering she just had a C-section and nearly hemorrhaged to death. Anyway, baby Chris is born, hospital doors close and that’s the end of season 6.




Well there ya have it folks. I'm going to take a few days off, so I'll probably start on season 7 next week.  

[Deleted]

How about the rubbish about the eternal light.  For that to happen, the Earth would have to stop its rotation.  Now, I'm no scientist, but I'm sure if that happened, the planet would be torn apart.  And what about the side of the planet facing away from the Sun.  Wouldn't it be dark.  And I'm not even going to suggest that a second Sun was added, that would tear the whole freakin solar system apart. 

Hey, Kern, pick up a science book.  Or was that too much like work.
