We have had top 10's, top 10's for each season and other memories. But what is the one standout moment of Charmed and what immediately pops into your head.
I know this is going to be hard. But I really can't wait to see what everyone picks, if they had just one moment of Charmed that stands out when they think of the show.

This what I think of: Iconic, the power of three will set us free. Episode 1, the beginning of it all, and the solid foundation that the sisters are more important than the magic.

My first thought was Prue, Piper, and Phoebe sitting on the couch together after Piper decides to not move out in Pre-Witched. They were all getting along here, and the thing that kept them all together was as much their bond as sisters as it was about their magic.

To me, this is Charmed's best scene.
From Witch Trial:
[Scene: Manor. Prue, Piper and Phoebe are walking down the stairs.]
Piper: Prue, what happened up there?
Prue: Nothing.
Phoebe: Yeah, nothing is exactly the problem.
Prue: I never said that I had the power to go against him. You did, remember?
Phoebe: No, the Book of Shadows did.
Prue: Well, maybe it was wrong. Maybe Abraxas is just too strong.
Piper: Maybe, but that doesn’t explain why you hesitated.
Prue: I didn’t hesitate.
Phoebe: The hell you didn’t Prue. I saw you.
Piper: We both saw you.
Prue: So, what are you saying? This is my fault, is that it? Because I can’t defeat Abraxas?
Phoebe: No, Prue, you can. You just won’t. Okay, something is holding you back. Something big time and instead of facing it, you’re running from it.
Piper: Phoebe....
Phoebe: But you can’t keep running, Prue. Because you have got to figure out what your problem is, otherwise we're all dead.
(Prue starts to cry.)
Prue: That’s right, Phoebe. It’s my responsibility, isn’t it? The oldest sister, always supposed to be able to figure things out. Well, if that’s the case, then how come I couldn’t save Andy? If I’m supposed to be so powerful, how come I couldn’t save him? I mean, my god, don’t you understand? Andy died because of me, it doesn’t matter what he said, it was my fault. How could it be good to be witches if all it does is get the people we love killed?
(She cries.)
Phoebe: Oh, sweetie.
Piper: Prue, it’s not your fault. You tried to keep Andy from coming here that night, remember? You tried to warn him but he came anyway. He came because he wanted to.
Phoebe: And there was nothing that you could have done to stop him, Prue. He chose to walk through that door, not because of who you are, honey, but because of who he was.
Piper: Protector of the innocent, just like us.
Prue: I just don’t know if I believe in it anymore.
Phoebe: Honey, we’ve done a lot of good as witches too. You know that. But that doesn’t mean that bad things still aren’t gonna happen. But just because we can’t help that, doesn’t mean that is our fault.
Piper: Or yours.
Phoebe: Come here.
(They all hug.)

The first moment that comes into my head dears (and oddly enough it doesn't feature Grams) is the sisters walking up the steps of the manor in the first episode and Prue closing the door.

Apocalypse, Not
Prue: You know, you two faced an incredibly hard thing and, um, you made the right decision. Through your own free will.
Phoebe: I am so, so, so sorry, Prue.
Piper: So am I.
Prue: There's no apologies necessary. You were all just doing our jobs, I just have to deal with that.
(The bartender comes up to them holding Phoebe's book.)
Bartender: Everyone has to vote on this. What if a building was on fire? Do you save five strangers or one sibling?
Prue, Piper, Phoebe: Five strangers.

The hug? It's one of mine.

Prue, Piper, Phoebe: Five strangers. You bolded the last part. So is your moment "Five strangers"? Another one of mine. Although I'll always wonder if Piper and Phoebe would've answered the same if the question was asked again *after* they lost Prue...

My standout moment is Piper dying on the hospital bed with Prue beside her in All Hell Breaks Loose.
Even if I don't like the episode as much, that moment sticks in my head as the best sister death and outstanding acting.

Oh. For me It's the one moment that always comes to my head when I think of charmed. Or two moments if you consider how Leo orbed out the door. Sort of an anthem moment for me. Maybe because it was used in commercials so much over the years it aired.
End of Wicca Envy
Piper lighting the match and burning the Relinquishment Spell that Prue is holding

I am not so sure either, they may not have after having lost Prue.

Definitely Piper and Leo getting married and kissing right after Grams tells them to hurry before midnight.

It always goes back to S5E12 "Centennial Charmed", at the end of the episode. They're in Cole's penthouse, heading for the elevator. Paige turns around and wishes Cole a "happy birthday" and enters the elevator, with her sisters. The elevator doors close, and its the end of the episode. It resonates with me because it was my first "experience", if you will, to being introduced to the show. I was intrigued, practically immediately LOL

1x09 The Witch is Back
The sisters sending Melinda Warren back and Melinda touching Phoebe's heart and getting a premonition of the future.
My all time favorite because it was part of the ending of the first episode of Charmed I ever saw in December of 1998.

Prue and Phoebe reuniting the mother and daughter in The Wendigo because it was the first scene of Charmed I ever saw that got me hooked.

Great pick! I'm sure our members Pheebs and Prudence would pick that scene. For me, it's when Phoebe is about to write in the book of shadows for the first time, with her sisters beside her. It's just such a big moment on the series. Oh, but then there's when Prue says I love you to Piper too. Oh, it's so hard to pick just one. I'll just stick with my first choice, which is my avi.
