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. If I may, I would like to suggest ways that they could be three sisters. I know that this is a stretch but hear me out. This is the scene; Welcome to the Power of Four: Prue, Piper, Phoebe and Paige. Prue is still working at 415 magazine and met one of her photography idols: Marie, but she is also a Warlock, she works intimately with Prue helping her out with different techniques and styles of flash photography. Piper still owns P3 and one of her bartenders is the daughter of Prue's idol, Ashley. Phoebe works at the Daily Mail and just recently hired another daughter of the Warlock, named Jade. Paige has a friend (who you guess it) is the last daughter of the Warlock, Nicole. The daughters (Ashley, Jade and Nicole) would make up the Rowe Coven since their mother doesn't believe in the whole sisterhood of warlocks thing because that's more of a witch ideology. But she just doesn't care since they are adults and have been living as Warlocks their entire life. |

Out of all the attempts at making evil ones I think their characters who worked. When the Phoenix and Stillman sisters took the powers of the charmed ones they became the evil ones. Still I think they could've been the big bad for season 2 instead of one episode.

Finally a thread about this subject.
The one major problem I had with the Rowe Coven was that in that episode Phoebe reads from the BOS that after the 10th Century onward each generation of the Rowe Coven is supposed to get stronger and stronger and that NOBODY CAN FIND a SPELL OR WEAPON THAT CAN STOP THEM.
Then at the end of the episode both Paul and Greg are vanquished by an Athame.
Did the writers and cast forget what was said in the book? How can they both be killed by an athame when they book said that a spell or weapon hadn't been found yet that could stop them. I mean couldn't they have at least gotten a little bit more creative with their vanquish?

You have a point. I wonder why Constance Burge had portrayed them as all brothers. Maybe so that the whole Brennan and Prue thing could happen. But I would of loved to see them portrayed as sisters rather then brothers because of the reasons I have mentioned above. The ironic thing is that when the Halliwells went up against a family of female warlocks in Season 6, they proved to be rather lame. Or perhaps it was just the episode. |

The Rowe are humans, so a gun or an athame have to work Beacause they were humans, the BOS writers tried to find a spell to stop them or their powers but it was worthless, the only way to stop was to kill them |

They were like the charmed ones without the power of three yet . Just their magical powers |

This was brought up in another thread. And I'm surprised the series didn't focus more on them or even just had the Charmed Ones going up against three warlocks.
But Charmed dropped warlocks after the first handful of seasons, so it doesn't surprise me they wanted demons to be the major threat they always went up against.
I remember the Charmed Novel 'Dark Vengeance' was very good with a similar concept of three warlocks?

This was a great way of refreshing my memory of this book. I really need to re-read it. I love that they are not all brothers or sisters, that makes it more interesting to me. I'm going to have to find this book. Sounds like a good book for me to read again. I've forgotten it. I guess if it happens in S2, one could be a member of one of Phoebe's college clubs or a friend, one could be a new employee at P3 and the third could be Prue's love interest or someone she works with closely. |

Why does the Rowe Coven have to consist of sisters? Totally agree with you. I don't think the gender really matters. It can be all sisters, all brothers, a mix of brothers and sisters, etc. In response to the OP, sure Brendan's reaction to one of his brothers sacrificing his life for him could've been done better, but I just think that it doesn't suffer as bad as some other episodes we've seen. On its own, sure, it's not really a strong episode, that I'll agree with. Compared to the others, I tolerate watching it over some others. |
