I was watching "When Bad Warlocks Turn Good" and I was thinking how amazingly these 3 would have been as a big Bad for the 2nd half of Season 1 after Rex and Hannah got vanquished by The Source.
Instead we got the lame Tempus and Rodriguez. I hated those two. Worse big bads in a season finale imo. Even though Deja Vu is an amazing episode. The Rowe Coven should have had a huge battle like in Kill Billie Vol. 2 type battle.
and Brendan should have been turned into a Warlock. The Rowe Coven was such an amazing idea poorly used

Funny enough I just said something like this in another thread.
Yes they SO would of made great villains, fantasic ender than billie and Christy, if its Brendon in a role like Billie, who gets turned into a warlock and fights the charmed ones like in kill billie.

Oh, but then we wouldn't have the minor romance between Prue and Brendan. His characterisation wouldn't have the same layers as it did in the show. However, I agree that it would have helped to make the earlier years of the show more compelling by giving the sisters a true nemesis who could stand up to them. The Rowe Coven being a match for the early Charmed Ones is more believable than two random sisters fighting them to a draw at the end of the series.

The Rowe coven were never the big threat. Only the oldest one was the most evil.
The middle brother seemed to be a live and let live kind of guy. I got the feeling that, left to his own devices, he would have let Brendon go and live how he chose.

While I like the idea of an evil power of three, I personally didn't find the Rowe brothers compelling enough as individuals. I guess that could be worked on had they been in more than the one episode, but just based on what we saw... meh  |

Plus, the whole "good power of three = female, evil power of three = male" thing rubs me the wrong way and smacks of outdated Victorianism. I'd rather see an evil power of three that was female (like the Stillman sisters, but not played as a joke). |

There's a user on Deviant Art called Shining Allure and they did a lot of fan stuff with the Charmed Ones fighting the evil witch sisters from "Stardust" and I think they look really cool. I love the idea of witches vs. witches... just not the execution of it in season 8. |

Yeah, it's a shame that we never really got a good evil P3 on the show. Aside from the issues I mentioned with the Rowes, there were also the Stillmans and their poor man's clones from "Repo Manor," both of which were horrible jokes.

TV Tropes has a category called, I believe, The Previews Always Lie, and I believe this applies here. The previews made the Rowe Brother seem like a big had to be feared, instead of the token bad guys we got in this episode.
As I said, only the oldest brother was really evil. Take him out, the threat is over. The middle brother, Paul I believe his name was, would probably just be content with the status quo.
The Three Blond Bimbos and their Repo Manor clones were typical later season joke villains.

Yeah, that's another reason why the Rowes don't do anything for me. With better development (and a change of gender), they might have been interesting villains, but as they were, they were a forgettable and mostly bad idea that was thankfully never developed into anything more. When it comes to Season 1 villains, I'd have rather seen more of Rex & Hannah. Now, THEY had potential.  |

Shame that very few saw that potential. Luckily, I was one of that few. I don't see any Rowe Brother Chronicles out there, after all |

They should of been a big bad for a season. So much story they could of done. But I didn't think this set should of been used, unless you took out the eldest and made him into Cole or Rex? They could of made Billie and Christy warlocks and added a third sister. The Evil Charmed Ones didn't have to be male right?

An evil set of Charmed Ones would have been awesome, as long as they didn't make it cheesy which I'm afraid might have happened. Prue and the guy (forgot his name) could have been like the Romeo and Juliet of the story, forbidden love and all that.

Prue and the guy (forgot his name) could have been like the Romeo and Juliet of the story, forbidden love and all that. That would of been quite interesting to see play out dear - not one I trust the writers to do well. Especially if they used parts of Phoebe/Cole's forbidden love arc and changed it. Why not just make Cole a Warlock and apart of this evil Charmed Ones coven. That might have been an interesting story. Both sides fighting, with the Romeo and Juliet like couple in the middle. But again I just do not wish to see it play out on the show dears - I do not have faith in Brad Kern. A fanfiction story - oh someone can have much fun with that dears. |

The Original Charmed Ones, was badly executed, now imagine that they were an Evil Charmed Ones, that would be worst.
I would of loved it if the Rowe Coven were evil women prophesied to lead the innocent down the path of their own destruction and that they were descendants from a powerful warlock. Here is how it would go: after hearing Melinda Warren's vow 'that each generation of Warren's will be stronger than the last until the ultimate good (aka the Charmed Ones)' that the Rowe descendant would then vow that when the ultimate good does arrive that three sisters would be their counterparts, the ultimate evil.
The Rowe coven would have a Darklighter like how The Halliwells have a Whitelighter, but the Darklighter gathers information from the Source/the Seer or a demon in the Brotherhood. They would have someone in the police force, maybe Inspector Rodriguez, which protects them from the mortal world. They would have a Grimore (Evil Book Of Shadows) with an upside down pentagram on the front to represent the five elements in human creations.
I don't know but there is some ideas, on how I would have executed the Rowe Coven. What do you think?

Why does the Rowe Coven have to consist of sisters? In my personal answer to the question; why does the Rowe Coven have to consist of sisters? It's because of the way that they were conveyed in the series, as the evil version of the Charmed Ones, so naturally most people think, like myself, then why not have them as sisters, since the Original Charmed Ones are sisters, make them their alter-ego/counterparts, who have the same powers as the Charmed Ones but have them use their powers for evil, or even have evil versions of the the Charmed Ones powers so they could use them for personal gain and to influence innocents to commit evil crimes or a path of their own destruction. Personally, I think that this would be a better way to convey the Rowe Coven in the series. But as I said that this is my own personal answer to that question, so that's all to do with my personal opinion on why they should be sisters and not brothers. |

You have a point. I wonder why Constance Burge had portrayed them as all brothers.

This whole idea is reminding me of one of my favorites of the Charmed books, "Dark Vengeance" by Diana Gallagher, except it takes place in the early-Paige era, sometime before "Charmed and Dangerous". In it, the Evil Ones are two girls and a guy, with Karen the leader of a band trying to play at P3, Kevin a volunteer at a retirement home where Paige also volunteers, and Kate a member of one of Phoebe's college clubs. I like the idea of them infiltrating the Charmed Ones' lives a lot more than how the Rowe Coven was handled, particularly if it was set up so the first season or so we didn't find out that they were indeed the Evil Ones - not until the Charmed Ones find out.
The book showed that the Evil Ones don't have to be three sisters *or* three brothers.

Didn't see the arts you mentioned, however.
