Did anyone else feel like it was the beginning of Chris's future world yet in his special ep they don't rule alongside Wyatt?
Where do the Titans rank above or below the elders?
How were they created and did they decide to be evil on their own? I mean the elders had to create gods to imprison them. So the situation up to it's current point couldn't be to bad. The titans seem to be limited in number to be able to reproduce. Only three really.
Another aspect is how limited are their powers as they can't ascend the heavens or destroy the world but cause havoc.
It felt like it could've been four or five eps to do it justice. I feel like the heavens being attacked and elders massacred being a bigger deal like in season three.
Thoughts?

No two episodes were more than enough
The Titans were primordial gods, not subject to any law unlike the Olympians who came after and will have to obey the Fate
They were not bad or good, but gods accustomed to power
At the beginning they were six brothers and six sisters, one of then was called Phoebe and Hecate is one of their descendants, she'll play an important role in the world of the Olympians
I never found a show able to deal with the mythology seriously, so I prefer that the subject run rapidly out
The Titans of Charmed were not able to force the defenses of Up There, the Elders got ready for potential new attacks
I think it is interesting that the Elders didn't dare to take advantage of the powers they kept and they chose, flirting with disaster, to give them to mortals
The story of the Titans domain of Chris was the cover story discussed with Bianca, in fact if Chris really wanted to stop them, he would come and warm the Elders before they woke up

I guess we'll have to go by the myths to fill in the blanks. I guess that's my problem with the second half in general where they never thought it out or tried going deeper with the themes.

According to myth, the Olympians after a tough battle, won and locked the surviving Titans to Tartarus guarded by the three Hecatonchires: just to contradict the Elders, Zeus and his brothers are the sons of Cronus, the youngest of the Titans
The two episodes were treated too lightly: Up There sown from the Elders bodies was a tiuvh moment and the transformation of the sisters in goddesses'ld have been just as exciting
It was revived a theme loved by Charmed, the difficulty to maintain their humanity when you come across too strong powers, see Wyatt and Cole'problem but it was resolved with a storm and an sullen Piper
Chris however is well characterized: as soon as he appeared, I distrusted him and thought he was an out and out liar

Well Charmed always put its own spin dears on all the different mythologies it did. I have to admit to not actually hating the ideas they had, it just wasn't handled as properly as it could be.

The Titans and their history with the Olympians were an interesting storyline, yet now finding out that mortals were made Gods to defeat the Titans? Strange to know since I'm also interested in myths. Goes against anything learned. Yet how the Titans would fit into Wyatt's world? Maybe Wyatt as Emperor on Earth while the Titans rule the Heavens.  |

Not a bad idea Chris. They rules the heavens and explains why we never saw them.
