However, when Cole vapourized those oxygen wasters in S5 who were shooting up that bar, Phoebe went all Holier Than Thou on him. It's okay for the Halliwell sisters to murder a man in cold blood, but don't let Cole dare  Yeah, that's what makes the end of "Hyde School Reunion" look even WORSE. Just a season earlier Phoebe went off on Cole for doing the exact same thing she and Paige did to Rick. Do as I say, not as I do, huh? |

Clearly the lesson of Mortality Bites has been lost on Phoebe. She not supposed to punish the guilty.
She and Paige are just as responsible for Rick's murder as the demons are.

But that's also what made Obsure Lupa's latter-season reviews SO boring, and those should've been the best reviews since those were the worse seasons. But she could NOT stop mentioning and showing Cole! |

Spin City
a.k.a... Along Came a Really Whiny Spider
Chris is reading tarot cards, or just one tarot card actually... “judgement”. Yeah Chris, that might be some of the audience.
Dennis: You know Piper pretty well, don't you? I mean, you guys seem close.
They do? ‘Kay...If you say so, random P3 employee.
Dennis: What's the deal with the ex of hers, Leo? Dude gets her pregnant, right? Then what, just skips town on her? I mean, what's up with that?
Chris: It's a long story.
Dennis: As far as I'm concerned, she deserves a hell of a lot better.
Chris: Couldn't agree with you more.
You guys know I don’t mind some Leo bashing on occasion, but SHE HASN’T TOLD HIM SHE’S PREGNANT!!! Didn’t I say that would be used against him when it was mentioned last episode? I just figured it’d be Piper, but I guess Chris is doing it for her.
I’m actually glad Paige is brunette again. If I give myself a concussion and squint my eyes, I can pretend I’m watching season 4.
Paige: See, that's where I'd ask for money to go to the movies.
Chris: Very funny. Actually, in the future, you're the one I go to for money.
I assume that’s zombie Paige you go to, since she was killed by titans. Actually a rich zombie Paige raising kids is a spin off I might be up for watching.
CGI spider. Just add it to the list of horrible CGI for this season!
Holly is looking well. So glad she doesn’t have to suffer all the “she’s totally not pregnant” wear anymore.
And the demon is called... The Spider Demon. Wow you guys are imaginative.
Chris: We need Phoebe.
No, no you don’t. You’ll probably do better without her. Shut up Chris.
I actually don’t mind the Spider Demon, just a shame they couldn’t be bothered giving her a name. So I will... I hereby name her Brenda. Brenda, the Spider Demon.
Oh look, Brenda has a totally not extinct wizard.
Paige: No, I can't, I have to go back to my temp job. I'm already late.
Oh okay, I just assumed they’d forgotten about those. Trust these writers to remember things that I hate.
Ah Chris’ father issues, that are suddenly really prominent.
Hey it’s Quake... or whatever the hell they’re calling it now. Why can’t it just be called Quake still? That’d be a nice call back. Then again, being reminded of season one would probably just make me sad.
Urgh, Phoebe’s date.
Mitch: Well, you look amazing, Phoebe.
Liar, liar, pants on fire! Speaking of clothing on fire, burn what Phoebe is wearing immediately!
Wow Phoebe is horrid in this scene. Can’t even remember his name, fails to get a premonition and ditches him in less than a minute! Can you imagine the enormous stink she’d kick up if someone treated her like this? Dude, you’ve dodged a bullet, I assure you.
Oh good lord, I completely forgot about the magical creatures. They’ve stuck that poor guy playing the leprechaun on stilts or something, it looks ridiculous. Urgh.
So Chris is infected.
Phoebe: So do you think we should ask Chris for help?
Yes Phoebe, go for it, we’ll all wait here.
Leo has returned after being absent for A WHOLE EPISODE. Absence, as it turns out, does not make the heart grow fonder, because serene Elder Leo is a pain in the arse already.
Phoebe tells Leo about Chris. I do think he has a right to know, I hate that I agree with her. But she clearly only did it to relieve herself of the secret, so still... screw you Phoebe!
Phoebe: I don't know, sweetie. He's real tight lipped about the future.
Meh. Yeah, when it suits him.
The less said about The Wicked Witch, the better. What a stupid, filler sub-plot.
Gideon: You can't just pop on down whenever you feel the need arise. You're not just putting yourself at risk, you're putting all Elders at risk too.
I’ll remember that in seasons 7 and 8.
Sigmond: Chris is his son too?
Gideon: Apparently. Actually, come to think of it, that does explain why he came all the way from the future to save Wyatt.
Sigmond: Save him from us you mean.
Gideon: If he knew he wouldn't still be searching. When the time is right, Wyatt will be sacrificed and the greater good will be served.
Right, so he knows what’s going on now. He knows that he fails and Wyatt ends up evil... but he’s going to go through with it anyway? *Shrug* Good luck with that then.
Leo: But he's in the basement. Can you empath from so far away?
Empath is a verb now, apparently.
SpiderChris. Not sure which is worse: the fake nails, Drew lisping through the fake teeth, or the cheap looking contacts.
Riley: I can try, but as you know, luck can go either way. Good or bad. Take your chances.
Yeah we know, we know; totally 50-50, in that there are two completely different incantations for good and bad luck, we got that load of crap in Lucky Charmed.
Leo is scrying, because being a witch means squat these days. Anyone can do it. Charmed Ones, Schmarmed Ones!
Brenda: You’re pissing me off... ya know?
Heh, I like her.
Brenda gets squished by the ogre while in spider form. What a lame end for her... but I guess we needed time for Chris to beat the living snot out of Leo.
Piper: You've been saying whatever happens to little Chris happens to big Chris, and that's what you've been so worried about.
Paige: So?
Piper: So if I take this, then the baby's inoculated and Chris is just fine, right?
Surely it would mean that Chris was never infected and therefore the present would change?
Oh for the love of... the stupid magical creatures are actually sat at the bar at P3. An ogre, a leprechaun and a nymph just out in public in a busy nightclub. Are you freakin’ kidding me? I hate you all!
I guess at least the father issues carry on, rather than them just being all lalala after one episode.

I especially love your new title - you redo titles SO much better than TheWB! And you giving Spider Demon a name! But you forgot my favorite line from the entire season: Especially if she means using bug spray on Chris rather than Brenda!. |

Yeah, I know  They really didn't care anymore at this point, did they. I believe this is the reason Charmed has such a poor reputation these days. Every time they trotted out these Disney rejects, everyone just pointed and laughed. Surely it would mean that Brad Kern understood the concept of time travel, which he clearly didn't. |

Crimes and Witch Demeanors coming up next guys. If I remember correctly, I think this was once ranked the most boring episode of Charmed ever made... so ya know, wish me luck. Ahem.

Despite how terrible CaWD is and the fact that it's a clipshow and the fact that Barbas is back and the Cleaners continue to ruin any vestige of continuity of the earlier seasons, I wouldn't personally call it the most boring episode of Charmed since Darryl's subplot is interesting. In my opinion, Witch Wars should take that title. I always forget that episode exists. |

Will have to see what I think. I've started many episodes in this rewatch thinking that they're far better/worse than they actually turned out to be. Rarely rewatched season 6 aside from the finale, so it's been interesting looking back at it and seeing how my views have changed.

LOL, sounds familiar. That's how I felt during my latest re-watch.
Maybe I should re-watch S4-8 and see if my reactions towards them change....
NOT!

Extra comment - the only reason why I don't like "Crimes and Witch Demeanors" is because when it was done, there were still Charmed Ones. Had they shown everything they had done with their powers, none of them would have powers, rather than just taking away the ones that were expensive to shoot.

Ah, yes, the clip. One good thing came out of it, they took away Phoebe's rubbish empathy powers. Good-bye second rate Deanna Troi.

Innocent Until Proven Phoebe
Aka. Crimes and Witch Demeanours
Okay so first off, this episode wasn’t as bad as I remembered it. I actually didn’t mind it too much. That having been said, let’s rip the hell out of it... and also compliment some stuff too, I’m not that bad....
Start on a positive. Kudos to the special effects team on the phantasm. Pretty cool wispy, whaling ghosty they’ve made. I like it.
Paige: Hey, was that car there before?
Phoebe: Geez, Paige, relax. You act like we've never done this before.
By “this” I take it you mean getting your arses exposed. Yep, definitely not a first there.
First time we see Sheridan and she’s caught magic on camera.
Paige: Morning. How was your date?
Phoebe: Good. Other than the fact that he's not the man of my dreams.
Who’s to say the father of your child is the man of your dreams Phoebe? Anyway, you all know how much I hate Phoebe’s baby hunt. She seriously thinks she’s going to meet her dream guy when she’s so blatant about the fact that she wants a sperm donor first and a man second? The fact that it’s a person with feelings is really just a technicality for her!
Chris: You know, I keep thinking how weird it's gonna be to actually see myself being born.
Well this is awkward. Erm, Chris? Let’s just say: no need to worry.
So Darryl has been arrested because The Cleaners have messed with the recording. Why they needed to change it, I’m not sure. I mean, they can erase whole lives and events from existence, but they can’t delete a video recording? Really guys?
And we establish that Sheridan is a meany.
Phoebe: If she was lying, I couldn't sense it.
Well that doesn’t mean much does it Phoebe? Your empathy is often dormant whenever it’d actually be useful.
Once again, they expose magic to get the Cleaners’ attention. You guys ever heard of a summoning spell? Maybe try one some time.
So they set up this thing of Phoebe forcing her premonitions trying to find the phantasms or whatever because she wants to get to her dates. Now, yeah that’s totally self motivated, but even so... she’s using her premonitions to find demons and stop them! Now if you were to focus on her using it to try and find her baby daddy, I’d be with you all the way. But it seems very strange that of all things, Phoebe using her power to find demons quickly seems to be being played as the main offense here.
Paige: Where are we?
Gideon: Nowhere. Anywhere... You don't want to know.
Oh shut up Gideon.
Beware the stupid floaty heads of justice!
Yeah sure, resurrect a murderous upper level demon, all for a court case, why not?
Poor Darryl, he really would’ve been better off staying away from these people.
The flashbacks begin. Ah come on, don’t show me season one, you’ll only depress me.
Leo thinks Chris can use his demonic connections. I still wanna know why he has all these demonic connections.
The way Gideon pronounces lieutenant is weird... and I’m English.
Say what you will about Barbas, the guy can make a good case.
Leo: He's a demon. They'll discredit him.
You have demons in the tribunal and a demon working for “the prosecution”, but you can’t have one as a witness? How does that work?
Gideon shows a clip of Piper reversing the vanishing spell on the Manor in “House Call”. How does that help their case? Not only could people have seen the house gone, they could have seen it magically reappearing! That’s a terrible example!
Oh God, now they’re showing “Witches in Tights”, like I needed to see anything from that episode again!
Cole: Well, I got a call from one of the tenants saying that Wonder Woman was terrorising the landlord. What the hell are you doing?
Yeah, Wonder Woman called me Cole and she is deeply offended by that comparison. She’s suing for deformation of character as we speak.
Man, Brian is gesticulating wildly in this scene. Cool it down a little dude.
Ah here we go.
Barbas: You have been assigned to watch The Charmed Ones since they first became witches, have you not?
Cleaner #1: That is correct.
Aaargh! I’ve said this before... all they had to do was say they were assigned after the exposure in 3x22. They even mention Prue right after this and just ignore the inconsistency that’s right in front of them!
Barbas: Would Lieutenant Morris be the first policeman to die in order to clean up one of their little magical messes.
Cleaner #1: No.
Are they implying that The Cleaners orchestrated the deaths of Andy and Reece to keep magic from being exposed? How was Andy even an exposure risk? If he has to die to keep magic secret, then I guess all the mortals who know about the sisters are gonna be murdered by The Cleaners. Holy crap!
Darryl turns down Piper’s help. Clearly he’s finally lost all faith in them. Long time comin’.
Cleaner #1: I think that there will always be another Inspector Sheridan to pick up on their trail.
Barbas: Unless...
Cleaner #1: It ends with Morris.
What the hell? How does executing Darryl stop Sheridan or anyone else being suspicious of them? What on earth are they talking about here? You’re sentencing an innocent man to death!!!
Oh man, seeing Darryl sweating and in tears about to get lethal injection. Really feel for him. Not to mention poor Sheila and the kids.
Okay so they’re taking Phoebe’s powers. Now don’t get me wrong, I like to see Phoebe’s selfishness acknowledged, but really, when it comes to using magic for personal gain, I think Piper and Paige are just as bad. Also, and yeah I know it’s freaky that I’m defending Phoebe here... aside from levitation, Phoebe’s powers are by far the least likely to be exposed, since they’re in her mind.
Out of universe, we know the real reason for this disempowering was that the harness for levitation was too expensive. She hardly ever used that power by this point anyway, so not sure why it was necessary, but whatever. I’ve also heard another reason (not sure how true this one is) was that it made no sense that her Empathy wouldn’t reveal Gideon’s intentions. If that is the case, with all the people who've been immune to her power, I’m not sure why Giddy couldn’t be one of them. I mean the guy runs a magic school; it might actually make more sense that he’d be able to come up with a way to protect himself from stuff like that somehow.
Adair: You can earn them back, but only if you're more careful with your powers.
Aramis: If you're all more careful.
Well I can tell ya now, that won’t happen. If anything they all get worse.

The Cleaners must have been on vacation that week.
I'm glad they took away that rubbish empathy. I didn't like it in Star Trek: The Next Generation (Deanna Troi saying, "Captain, he's hiding something," five seconds before the bad guy pulled his phaser), and I didn't like it here. Epic fail, Kern, epic fail.

Great reviews, P3Nathan. Will you go on to Season 7 after Season 6 is done? I wouldn't personally call it the most boring episode of Charmed since Darryl's subplot is interesting. In my opinion, Witch Wars should take that title. I always forget that episode exists. Not too surprising since "Witch Wars" was the show's lowest-rated episode ever, netting only 2.7 million viewers when it first aired. It was creamed by a Survivor finale and a Harry Potter movie, among other things. Few people watched it, so few remember it. |

As always, P3Nathan, fantastic job with the review. I'm happy that you can admit that it wasn't as bad as you thought it was (outside of that horrible slip regarding the Cleaners watching the Charmed Ones...although I suppose they had to do it that way in order to show stuff from S1-3), and yet still have ripping the hell out of it! I had similar experiences during my recent re-watch when episodes I remembered as dreadful weren't that bad and ones that I really liked the first time around, I didn't like at all. So it's been fun seeing what your reaction will be.
Like BettyNewbie, I'd love to know if you're planning on also doing S7 *and* S8! AND maybe even going from "Forever Charmed" (well, by now you know my name for that horrid episode) back to "Something Wicca This Way Comes" - SUCH a contrast that way! But I wouldn't torture you that way. If you want to skip from "Something Wicca This Way Goes?" to "Something Wicca This Way Comes" (especially if you do it the question mark way - stop when Phoebe yells out "Here we go!" since according to the spoilers, that's where it would've ended had the series not been renewed), that would be just fine with me!

Thank you for the responses guys  "Witch Wars" was the show's lowest-rated episode ever, netting only 2.7 million viewers when it first aired. It was creamed by a Survivor finale and a Harry Potter movie, among other things. Few people watched it, so few remember it. So the episode of Charmed that mocked and berated reality-competition shows was slaughtered in ratings by a reality competition show? Pahahahaha! Brilliant. Great reviews, P3Nathan. Will you go on to Season 7 after Season 6 is done? Like BettyNewbie, I'd love to know if you're planning on also doing S7 *and* S8! AND maybe even going from "Forever Charmed" (well, by now you know my name for that horrid episode) back to "Something Wicca This Way Comes" - SUCH a contrast that way!

I think I'm definitely going to carry on into season 7 for sure. Seeing as I only have 4 episodes of s6 left and I can't deny that the masochist in me is enjoying doing these. I'll start a thread in General Discussion for season seven once this season is over. Eeesh... A Call to Arms, what a way to start. |

You're welcome.
And it also got creamed by a Harry Potter movie. Fitting punishment because of what they stole from HP.
Charmed should have stayed away from depicting other cultures, they always got it wrong. One of the members of TCS, Shraddha, who's Indian, was very offended by this episode, and I can't blame her.

A Call to Arms, what a way to start. *cheers wildly* 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.... |
