I knew that the "he" Chris and Bianca kept talking about was Wyatt. How many of you knew that? Just curious.
I also knew from that episode that he was definelty one of their sons. I had guessed Paige though due to him being part witch part whitelighter

Chris Crossed taught how unoriginal Charmed was, coping the plotline from Frequency, hiding a spell/potion in the floorboards just like the 2000 movie did.
It also taught me that vanquishing the source of all evil meant nothing because, the Charmed Ones were going to be killed in the middle of motherhood, a hybrid male was going to be more powerful than the combined power of three female witches and that the memory of TCOnes was a museum of mermaid and super hero outfits.
It also taught me that sisters could go their separate ways and in the next episode, be living with each other again, in another flawed and inconsistent timetravel episode 'Witchstock'.
Sorry to be blunt but it is one of the most over rated episodes of Charmed. |

It teased me about the Phoenix. It gave me Chris/Bianca. It gave me a Wyatt and a future I was interested in.
Taught me? Yeah, no. I can't say it gave me a valuable lesson. Just a tease of what I wanted to learn more about. And it was never given to me.

Sorry to be blunt but it is one of the most over rated episodes of Charmed. This is such a mood. Chris Crossed is actually the episode that made me give up on continuing watching Charmed further for a long time. Also, I'm kind of confused what the prompt to this topic is asking. Like, is there anything in specific we're supposed to learn from the episode? Personal or show-related? |

I almost gave up on the show in S6, this episode was just one of those episodes that almost pushed me to stop watching. I find this episode very overrated. I know Chris fans love it, and that I can understand. I agree the topic title is a little misleading. What lesson was taught in this episode, if anything that applies more to say an episode like Morality Bites since that episode truly had a lesson? I don't understand what this episode taught anyone, other than confusing viewers further about Chris and his future. |

Especially because as a viewer it was only a teaser dear. I wanted to truly see the entire story shown on-screen with exactly what happened in Chris' dark future. I was interested in the Phoenix, that might be the most interesting part of this whole episode and they didn't deliver further into this. I can't say it gave me a valuable lesson, other than typical Charmed having a great idea and just not being able to deliver. |

I was just confused whether you meant a lesson in morality or new insight into the show or what. My apologies. |

I was wondering what people had figured out for themselves about Chris by the end of the episode |

I think because TV was so delayed in those days getting to Australia and New Zealand, that at school someone had already told me that either HMC was pregnant in Season 6 or that Chris was the 2nd son of Piper and Leo. I can't remember.
So Chris came back to the Present, to save Wyatt from turning evil. Great premise, bad execution I suppose.

Sorry to be blunt but it is one of the most over rated episodes of Charmed. *nods* Exactly so. Actually one of my least-favorite episodes since it showed that Chris came back, stayed for over a year, screwing up the lives of very single person he met, just to give him and Bianca a better life and to heck with the rest of the world. It's part of why Season 6 is my least-favorite season. It's what also made me think that Chris might be gay since Bianca seemed more like a substitute mother than a lover, especially when she was quite a bit older than he was. Although it's also what inspired some of my favorite fanfics that show how Chris and Bianca (and Wyatt and Piper and Leo and Phoebe and Paige) could've/should've been written so I thank Cameron Litvack for screwing it up so badly. |

I don't like this episode. So much of his story made no sense, First time watching it. I couldn't believe him. He lied and killed a Valyrie earlier in the season. What good witch does that.

Because they did unthinkable things in Season 6. Part of why I much prefer the earlier seasons over the later seasons, and not just because I'm a Prue fan. But the sisters were not the loving and protectors of the innocent I grew to love and admire. Paige had her moments but not in Season 6. |

Sorry if I offended you, but I was just confused by the prompt. Well for me I was unsure what Chris was telling was true not that he was half whitelighter but just we didn't see his dark future barely. and I didn't guess he was Piper and Leo's son, I thought he may have been Paige's or Phoebe's. |

That he was more than he pretended to be. Half witch, half whitelighter and clearly related to them. It was somehow clear that Wyatt knew Chris and the other way around. This episode made me return to Charmed, again.
