Rank The Seasons: Season 2

[Granny Charmed]

Oh dear - I completely forgot to continue these threads.   We see so many polls on what is your *favorite* episode or pick at least 8 top episodes from a season. 

Now dears *ranked* the entire season 2 in order from 1 to 22 (best to worst)?



This girl will need some time to get her rankings done. I am going to do a rough one for now - and then dears my true rankings from 1 to 20 later. This season is quite hard to rank properly dears.

My rough rankings 

1 - Morality Bites (my favorite dears)
2 - Ex Libris
3 - Awakened
4 - Murphy's Luck
5 - P3 H2O
6 - Chick Flick
7 - Give Me A Sign 
8 - Reckless Abandon 
9 - The Painted World 
10 - Heartbreak City 
11 - Ms. Hellfire 
12 - Witch Trial 
13 - They're Everywhere 
14 - Apocalypse Not
15 - How to Make a Quilt Out of Americans 
16 - Pardon My Past 
17 - Astral Monkey 
18 - Be Careful What You Witch For
19 - Animal Pragmatism 
20 - That Old Black Magic 
21 - The Devil's Music 
22 -  She's a Man, Baby, a Man!

Morality Bites- such a powerful episode

Murphy's Luck- the story with Prue was so emotional

Chick Flick- one of the funniest ever

Pardon My Past- I love the past lives thing, having lived in the house before

They're Everywhere- so many funny moments

Ms. Hellfire- Prue is so very cool

P3 H2O- good history, emotional

Give Me A Sign- funny, very sweet about Bane turning his life around

Witch Trial- Prue's scenes were wonderful

Awakened- great, but a bit scary with their powers being useless

Heartbreak City- lots of sweet moments with the sisters

Ex Libris- creepy demon

Apocalypse Not- could have been more developed, a two-parter

Reckless Abandon- so sweet with the baby

She's a Man, Baby, a Man!- I find this one oddly tolerable

Astral Monkey- too sad

The Painted World- didn't like the guest actors

The Devil's Music- awkward

Animal Pragmatism- awkward too

How to Make a Quilt Out of Americans- cringeworthy 

That Old Black Magic- cringeworthy too ("I wish for the wand!" literally made me cringe at the screen)

I'm not good at doing ranking - I always have some that are tied for a ranking where I can't choose between the two of them.

But I can do this from a re-watch a number of years ago, but my reactions haven't changed that much:

EPISODE GRADES:

Witch Trial – A-
Morality Bites – A+++
The Painted Word – B+
The Devil’s Music – B+
She’s a Man, Baby, a Man – B-
That Old Black Magic – D+
They’re Everywhere – A+
P3 H20 – A+
Ms. Hellfire – B+
Heartbreak City – A+
Reckless Abandon – A-
Awakened – D
Animal Pragmatism – D+
Pardon My Past – B-
Show Me a Sign – A+
Murphy’s Luck – A+
How to Make a Quilt Out of Americans – F
Chick Flick – A
Ex Libris – A
Astral Monkey – B+
Apocalypse Not – A
Be Careful What You Witch For – C

SEASON GRADE: B

Darn, have I been doing it wrong, this whole time?  I thought the OP was asking us to list the episodes by preferred order, oops

Mine are similar to yours but the episodes I highlighted in red I would rank higher.

Gonna do this in the way I did in the S1 Version:

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.
