Does anyone else think that Awakened is over rated? I felt that way like I do 'All Hell Breaks Loose'. The acting and death scenes and sisterly moments were great but most of the plot wasn't. Too many things that annoyed me. Yeah, they seem like unnecessary turning points in the story. Great acting but felt more like movies than individual episodes.

That's true dear, Shannen totally rocked directly 'All Hell Breaks Loose' and Piper's death is among the best in the entire series, for the acting alone. But outside of that, I'm not a fan of Kern's script for it. These two were just filled with badly executed stories. But that's true I'm sure for many of us here, some of our least liked episodes, may have wonderful moments we'd gladly put among the best, we just don't necessarily liked the episodes in general.

I only took S8 for Henry, Paige and Little Wyatt and also the bonus features).

Nice choice. What do you like most about Heartbreak City? I found real genuine chemistry between Phoebe and Cupid. Why these silly writers didnt use him in season 8 as her true love is unbelievable. That would have been nice, especially if there all along (i.e., no Dex.)

Best part of the DVD's Es, you can fast forward all the parts you can't stand to watch.

Too bad, the Women of Charmed special wasn't also on the sets. Just for the Connie/Shannen interviews. I forgot if any of the writers like Sheryl or Chris or Zack were on that?

The good thing, I have my own copies of S1-3, while I just use my granddaughter's copy of the Book of Shadows for the other seasons. Also if one of our DVD's so happen to play up or break, we always have a back-up.
My granddaughter hopes, they make the HD episodes able to be downloaded digitally, so she can access those and would just get the episodes we love in HD, no need to re-buy the whole series again. But I wouldn't know how to do that, but I'm sure she can figure that out.

-Witch Trail. Great atmosphere and main villain, recovering some villains from the previous season. -Morality Bites. One of the most creative episodes of the series and that perfectly captures the essence of the show's message. -The Painted World. Another fantastic and very original story. -P3H2O. Essential for the main story. -Awakened. Exciting and dramatic. -Murphy's Luck. One of the most charismatic innocents, with a great story behind. -Ex Libris. Deeply dramatic, beautiful and creepy at the same time. -Astral Monkey.Exciting and dramatic II. Fun to watch.
'Pardon my past' and 'Chick flick' are so great too. I must say that I have never been a big fan of 'Apocalypse Not'. I like the message, but the story always felt a bit boring.

Having just re-watched 'Give Me a Sign', shocked I didn't vote for it here, so changed one for it.

Like S1, this one will be hard for me to pick eight, but I'll do my best.
1. "Witch Trial" - A very fun opening episode, and so many good sisterly moments.
2. "Morality Bites" - This was a fun episode, but the execution of the story could have been better, but I loved Phoebe in this one.
3 "They're Everywhere" - A fun Phoebe episode. 4. "P3 H20" - This was my favorite, especially because it hit home with me relating to the sisters losing a mother. Only part that upset me was the affair, really wished Patty and Victor divorced before Patty got with Sam.
5. "Heartbreak City" - Another fun episode. 6. "Murphy's Luck - I love this one, and love Prue's story and Maggie was a good innocent.
7. "Chick Flick" - A really fun comedy episode with so many laughs.
8. "Apocalypse, Not" - Should have been the finale to S2.

I still feel like Reckless Abandoned is such an under-rated episode.

My favorite was Witch Trial. The sisters still cared about each other, enough that Prue and Phoebe took out a mortgage on the house to help Piper get the money for the club. I also liked Ms. Hellfire and Heartbreak City, even though it was the start of when the sisters started wearing sexier clothing. Prue in the hitwoman's luxury clothing suited her, I think.
