I don’t remember enough about Season 10, I just know I despised it. What was the point of bringing Prue and Cole back only to kill them all over again? And in Cole’s case, just… no.



How do you feel about the finale and the way the show ended? (a) loved it, (b) liked it, (c) had mixed feelings, (d) disliked it, (e) hated it?: Season 8, A, though I’d have preferred Phoebe endgaming with Cole. Season 9, A, though I’d have preferred Cole endgaming with Prue. Season 10, E.



Do you still watch Charmed (on TV, online, video or DVD)? If yes, do you watch (a) every day, (b) once or twice a week, (c) a few times a month, (d) a few times a year?: Online, Peacock/Prime video. Currently, A.



How long have you been in the online fandom?: 2008. I was 18.

Pre-Season 1 - Cole (male), Tie between P. Russell and The Evil Enchantress (female), Cole (overall)

Do you read and/or write fanfiction? Any particular type?: Write. Charmed Next Gen. The only fanfictions I can currently remember reading and enjoying are two series of fanfictions. One, and my all-time favorite, is a series of HP fanfictions written by The Fictionist: Past’s Player (discontinued), Fate’s Favorite (complete), and Destiny’s Darling (complete). The second is a series of Xena The Warrior Princess fanfictions written by Red Hope: Fight For Hope, Coming Together, and First Adventure; there was a fourth taking place before those three, but I wasn’t a fan.



Other shows you watch: Legacies, Word of Honor, and Once Upon a Time.



Are you a fan of any other witch themed shows?: The Vampire Diaries/The Originals/Legacies, Once Upon a Time, and I kind of want to try Chilling Adventures of Sabrina again.

Welcome!

[Cole Turner]

Alright, my name is Alexander, but you can call me Alex. I am from Serbia and I am a huge fan of Charmed tv series. I used to watch all episodes when I was a kid. At that time I was blown away by it. Even had posters on the wall
Decades later I decided to watch again (recently) and feel that nostalgia again. Currently I am watching season 4.

[Chrisaholic]

Welcome on board, Alex.

Looks like you were a great fan of the show - with posters and all. lol Have fun here and enjoy yourself!

[sonja]

Hello and welcome Alex! I'm also from Serbia Have fun!

Yes, I guessed that by your name. So great to have somebody from Serbia too. Are you interested in Wicca or just huge fan of TV series?

[sonja]

I like reading about Wicca from time to time, it's not one of my main interests though. I think I was more drawn to it in my teens. I also like reading/listening about Slavic paganism

[Melinda Halliwell]

Hello Alex and welcome to the board.

It's nice reading your rewatching season 4.

I wonder if your opinion on that has changed once the seasons finished or will be the same since teenagehood of course.

Other than that I hope you have fun here.

Nice. It is very hard to be understood in Serbian society when it comes to pagan religions. It's all about Christianity.

Hey there, thank you. I will never change my emotions towards tv series. It's just lovely.

Welcome! I'm glad you found Charmed again. That was like me last year when I joined. I took a long break from the show and decided to watch it again.

I hope you enjoy your review. I'll be curious if your opinions have changed at all as you have gotten older. It seems to be the case for most fans who grew up with the show and revisited it as an adult.

Well, considering I was a kid, it did chnage a little bit. I can see many flaws but what didn't change were emotions I have. 

[greta]

1. How long have you been a Charmed fan?

Late S1. I caught episodes. But I think 'That 70s Episode' was the first one I saw the full episode. I'm pretty sure some of the others I caught half the episode, because I had other activities I used to do the nights it was on. 

I started recording Charmed on VHS beginning the second season. My first recorded episode was 'Morality Bites'. But my VHS tended to run into some issues so sometimes certain episodes had a minute or two erased for some strange reason  before each ad break. 

I used to take my VHS tapes seriously with writing the episodes and dates down and printing pictures to stick on the cover. 

I remember my excitement when Charmed finally came out on DVD during 2005. I remember I saved every penny I had in order to make sure I got my copy of it. I bought it from Amazon. I remember so clearly my excitement when my mother told me after I came home from school that there was a card in the mailbox for my Charmed DVD to collect from the parcel centre. I was so happy to have the DVD in my hands. I went back and got to watch some of the S1 episodes of Charmed I hadn't seen or didn't have a copy of on VHS from taping the reruns. I ended up buying S2 and S3 on DVD from Amazon when they were released later in the year. I don't think I even bought the versions from my country, I just wanted Charmed on DVD so I think they were overseas versions that got them before most.


2. Have you seen (a) every episode more than once, (b) every episode at least once, (c) most of the episodes, (d) fewer than half of the episodes?

B.

3. Do you still watch Charmed (on TV, online, video or DVD)? If yes, do you watch (a) every day, (b) once or twice a week, (c) a few times a month, (d) a few times a year?

D.

4. How long have you been in the online fandom?


In general since 2000 for just online fandoms non-Charmed. Charmed would have to be somewhere in S3. I can't remember.


5. How do you feel about the finale and the way the show ended? (a) loved it, (b) liked it, (c) had mixed feelings, (d) disliked it, (e) hated it?

I didn't like it at all. I thought it was a very cheap way to wrap up Charmed. I wasn't impressed that time travel was used to bring the sisters back from the dead. *yawn* that plot had been overdone on Charmed. It was only great the first couple of times they did it. 

I didn't care about seeing Chris or Wyatt again. They didn't serve the story than to make fans happy. I also hated that they ended the show telling us all three sisters were going to be married with lots of kids in the future. *yawn* The Billie and Christy story ended anti-climactic. 

The series finale felt like badly written fanfiction. 

I think I'll move onto the next question. Otherwise I'll end up writing an essay length reply on why I hate it.

Season 1 > Season 2 > Season 3 > Season 7 >>>> Season 6 >>>> And the rest

10. Do you read and/or write fanfiction? Any particular type? Do you follow any of the virtual seasons?

Don't write at all, don't have the patience. Because I know I'll never finish it. I'm just good at brainstorming ideas for what I might do and that's about it.

As for Charmed, I haven't found any that take my interest. I'm much more interested in fanfics where Prue's alive or alternate versions showing how differently things might've gone. I've stumbled on far too many I can't get through, because the author tends to write the characters too perfect or that the reader is expected to fall in love with them. 

11. Are you a fan of any other witch themed shows?

Sabrina the Teenage Witch.


12. What are your other favourite shows, if any?

*Neon Genesis Evangelion
*Sailor Moon

Welcome, greta.

Have fun and enjoy yourself!

Welcome, greta!
Your feelings about the finale are totally understandable and justified, I feel the same way. I have yet to meet someone who was completely satisfied with it.
I'm a Sailor Moon fan too! (and a fan of many other shows you mentioned)

Thanks, Sonja! I'm not alone on that. I want to feel that emotional connection when I'm at the end of the road. But Charmed didn't give me that. Charmed's on my list of worst series finales. There's other shows I do get that feeling from but sadly Charmed's not one of them.

Nice to meet another Sailor Moon fan. I'll always wonder if Charmed got the idea of Chris from SM which used the time travelling child coming from the future. I see you're a fan of some of the other shows I mentioned too.

Charmed Reddit is really weird. They hate S8 and constantly complain about it but still praise the finale, as it always wins against the S7 one LOL

10. Do you read and/or write fanfiction? Any particular type? Do you follow any of the virtual seasons?

Don't write at all, don't have the patience. Because I know I'll never finish it. I'm just good at brainstorming ideas for what I might do and that's about it.

As for Charmed, I haven't found any that take my interest. I'm much more interested in fanfics where Prue's alive or alternate versions showing how differently things might've gone. I've stumbled on far too many I can't get through, because the author tends to write the characters too perfect or that the reader is expected to fall in love with them.

Hey y'all! I've recently become active again and have seen many new (or maybe not new) and returning posters! I thought we could do a little introduction thread on here, since we cannot post on the intro thread. I feel like I've been here forever, haha! I came up with silly little icebreaker questions, but feel free to add anything else if you want to! Also, if you're not comfortable with a question, feel free to not answer it!

Anything else you want to tell us!

Here's mine!

Favorite Charmed character and why:

Definitely Phoebe! I am mainly talking Phoebe seasons 1-4 + 7. I loved how into being a witch she was in the beginning few seasons. I also find her to be the funniest sister throughout the series, and find myself laughing at her antics to this day. I like Phoebe's fun flirtyness, but only when it is paired with that naive vulnerability we saw in some of these seasons. There was also a lot of annoying naive-ness.

Favorite Season:

Season 4!

Favorite Episode:

Long Live the Queen.

Other shows you watch:

My other favorite shows are Buffy (I reference Buffy a lot, but try to omit any spoilers), and Roswell. I watch a lot of TV but those are the only ones I'd say reach favorite status (a long with Charmed). I am currently watching:

-RuPaul's Drag Race
-Wentworth
-The Walking Dead
-Fear The Walking Dead
-Survivor

Everthing else: I am a queer person who is at the end of my studies to be a social worker. I feel as if this is important to add!
