There's no "Rank the Season: Season 7", but I'll still use this criteria (when selecting my "Top 8"):
With my new obsession regarding Power Balance (ALL THREE sisters using their powers/abilities, in the SAME episode, including Phoebe's Martial Abilities) AND "Protect/Save the Innocent(s)" type of episodes, I wanted to see how the list would like, now.
Priorities-
Power Balance. ALL THREE sisters MUST use their powers/abilities, in the SAME episode. This includes Phoebe's (Strength) Martial Arts. And, how well the episode ACTUALLY balances out their powers, where no one sister feels like their powers/abilities are being used more than another.
-
"Protect/Save the Innocent(s)". I'm more invested in episodes protecting/saving innocents than an episode simply attacking the Charmed Ones, no Innocent(s) involved.
-
ALL THREE Sisters. ALL THREE sisters are to be present/around during most of the fighting/final fight. Surprisingly, not every sister is involved, funny enough.
-
Family History. If not "Protect/Save the Innocent(s)" type of episodes, then I will settle for a "Family History" type of episode over something generically going after the Charmed Ones.
-
Original Powers/Abilities. Original powers/abilities are preferred but not AS important, as just having ALL THREE sisters, using their powers/abilities, in general, in the SAME episode.
-
Exceptions. Of course, exceptions CAN be made, it just all really depends.
