Plot holes/ inconsistencies that bug you?

[zoeysmom]

Are there any plot holes or inconsistencies that bug you in Charmed?
For me, it's the Cleaners, the sisters using magic for personal gain without consequences in later seasons, Grams' age in Witchstock, and how in later seasons, the sisters and their grandmother act like they've always known they were witches, but in  the early seasons, the witches don't remember having powers when they were kids. For instance, in Cheaper by the Coven, Grams is talking about how she sat Piper and her sisters down for a witch talk, and Piper asks what she said.
In Witchstock, when the sisters go back to the past, Grams would've been pushing 40, but she looks like she's about 23 there.

[shandofan]

Hm, let's see, the ones that bug me the most would probably be:

Many things about whitelighters: how Piper healed dead Leo in "Love Hurts" with his powers, but after that white lighters can't heal the dead. How Leo told piper in P3H2O that his healing only works to cure injuries caused by evil, but the later he heals Pipers oroya fever. How at first Leo claims that they weren't supposed to know about him, but later on it was portrayed that witches always know about their whitelighters - respectively, even after they found out it had no consequence and he just continued being their whitelighter. Something that also bugs me is that whitelighter is something you become, but still the powers are hereditary? Maybe it's only me but I think this is weird. And about Leo's past: in "Pardon My Past" he says he knew he's been with Piper in a past life because those are shown to him before becoming a whitelighter. How could this have been his past life if that happened in the 1920s? Something doesn't add up.

"Warlocks don't bleed": well the warlock in "Pre-Witched" did, and in "Exit Strategy" the brotherhood is connected via blood - how does that work if they don't bleed? And just some episodes earlier Cole used his bleeding as testimonial of his human side towards Phoebe.

Energy Balls: first used in "Déjà Vu All Over Again" they would just kill the person and leave the body there, like it happened with the sisters and Andy. Later on they make people burn and the body disappear immediately.

Ghosts: are portrayed differently all the time. Why did Elias Lundy have this strange lightning power or the power to remove his bones, although he was a mortal? And why could everyone see him? Why could the investigator who came up the attic see Patty and Grams as ghosts in Charmed Again?

I just watched Witchstock recently. I don’t know what the writers were thinking timeline wise when they did that episode. Grams should have been WAY older than she’s presented here, considering when her go-go boots took Paige back in time, it was 1967. Prue was born in 1970. So you’re telling me that somehow, in three years' time, Penny is supposed to have Patty, then Patty is supposed to meet Victor, and then Prue is suddenly born? Yup. Totally plausible. Now, if this was Patty we were talking about and NOT Grams, then the episode would work better in the timeline with Prue’s birthday.

Interestingly enough, as I was looking up this episode, I guess Witchstock WAS originally intended to be about Patty. Which makes so much more sense. Paige would have gotten to know more about her birth mother, almost much like in the way Phoebe did in That '70s Episode. (Because we don’t really get to see the two bond much in the show, do we?) But Finola Hughes wasn’t available to film, so they rewrote it for Grams. (Maybe some of you already knew that, though. Forgive me, I discovered Charmed last year so I get excited when I learn new things about it ;P)

I don’t hate this episode, some of it is kind of funny (Paige to Leo, "Ah, no! I don’t dig." Gets me every time xD), but the inconsistency with the timeline just bothers me to no end. But knowing why it was written about Grams instead of Patty makes me feel a little better now. I guess. Ha.

I don’t think they’d quite worked out how whitelighter healing worked in season 1 (though they should have, and come up with some definite rules… but Charmed didn’t like continuity, and didn’t even have a series bible), though Leo is only supposed to heal injuries caused by evil. Healing Piper of her disease anyway got him in trouble with the Elders, who (temporarily) clipped his wings. As for his past life with past life Piper, the way I understood it was that they were together for a while (before splitting up, obviously), and Leo’s past life died at some point not long after that episode, and was reborn as Leo Wyatt, who died in WW2, and chose to accept being made into a whitelighter.

I’m pretty sure that a whitelighter’s body is not their original body, just something they’re (for lack of a better term) reborn into. So being able to pass on powers that body was born with, the same way that witches can with their own magic, makes sense to me. But I may be in the minority on that.

Warlocks (supposedly) not bleeding was only a thing for one episode, then instantly forgotten. (See my above comment on the show’s relationship with continuity.) Not that Cole - or the Brotherhood - was. Despite what the writers claimed (after they’d clearly given up caring), warlocks and demons were not the same thing. I’d assume the vaporizing energy balls were just stronger.

No idea what was going on with the ghosts, beyond “Continuity = bad!” 🤦🏻‍♂️

[The Crone]

The Source, after S4, continue to change how they vanquished him. In some episodes, they state he was vanquished with potions.

Grams being a Halliwell. In Victor's first appearance he is named Victor Halliwell. And no, the women in this family do NOT keep their name Grams, you didn't. You took the name of your first husband.

Don't get me started on Whitelighter mythology, so many plotholes with how Leo's powers work. The Whitelighter/Elder mythology is so different from S1-S2 to S3-S8.

[Aaeiyn]

I can handle inconsistencies from one episode to another, or even from one season to the next.  What I can't handle is inconsistencies, within the same episode.

For example, Kyra being able to "see" through practically everything in S7E10 "Witchness Protection" but couldn't "see" through Zankou's shapeshift, all in the same episode.  Don't make her a "seeing" God just to make her oof, all in the same episode.

Or, Litvack unable to telepathically sense that Bane was going to double-cross him, in S2E15 Give Me a Sign.  Sorry, I don't buy Bane making it look like he was going to double-cross the Charmed Ones that believable of a scapegoat, for Litvack's demise.  Litvack should've picked up on that.

That being said, examples of inconsistencies throughout the show:

I think Prue's character is extremely inconsistent and doesn't really flow nor make sense, to me.  She seems to change every season.  In S1, her character was not happy about being a witch and was a work-a-holic.  In S2, she's all fine with being a witch but is no longer a work-a-holic and is artistic through photography.  In S3, she's still into magic and is artistic, but the work-a-holic personality came back, this time, it was dedicated to the craft, and (supposedly) we can infer S2E9 Ms. Hellfire as Prue learning martial arts, and that's why she's a God at it, come S3.  But, this is typical for Mary Sue type of characters.  At least she was consistently inconsistent ;P

My all time favorite inconsistency is the mishandling of whitelighters.  In S1, they weren't supposed to expose themselves, to their charges (S1E14 Secrets & Guys).  In S2/S3, that all changed, and charges began knowing who whitelighters are.  Also, in S1 Leo healed Mr. Franklin (S1E14 Secrets & Guys) who was mortally wounded, along with Daisy (S1E21 Love Hurts) who cut herself.  In S2, Leo (supposedly) can only heal what the Elders "allow" him to heal (S2E8 P3 H2O).  In S3, healing then became "restricted" to only if they were attacked by demons/evil (S3E8 Sleuthing with Enemy and S3E11 Blinded by the Whitelighter).  In S4, Leo be healing w/e but demons, specifically.  At least that part remained the same (him being unable to heal demons).  Then, the concept of whitelighters being "pacifists" LOL

Anyway, another inconsistency that gets on my nerves...Paige forgetting that Phoebe was a blonde (S5E18 Cat House), when they met (S4E1 Charmed Again, Pt 1).  Or, Paige forgetting how they vanquished the source in S8E4 Desperate Housewitches.

Phoebe inferring Piper was engaged to Jeremy (S5E18 Cat House), when Piper and Jeremy were only BF and GF (S1E1 Something Wicca This Way Comes).  Phoebe (and everybody else, really, but mostly Phoebe) inferring Cole "decided" to become the Source.  Tell you what, Cole "decided" to become the Source the same way Phoebe "decided" to be evil in S1E15 Is There a Woogy, in the House?  Also, Cole having and/or using his "demonic" powers does NOT make him evil.  It's how he uses those powers, that determines that.  Also, don't get me started on S2E2 Morality Bites slippery slope argument.

The concept of both the Cleaners and Magic School.  The confusion on how the Shadow/Nexus and Hollow works/functions.  The fickle concept of what constitutes as "personal gain" and what doesn't.

Vanquishing a ghost actually changed.  In S1E20 The Power of Two, only a spell while dead can be used.  In S2E11 Reckless Abandon and S4E17 Saving Private Leo,  you can use a potion on their bones, to "vanquish" them, as well.  S2E11 Reckless Abandon even had killing the object of a ghost's rage, does the trick, as well, but that did not make a comeback for S4E17 Saving Private Leo.  At least they remembered a ghost had to say the spell, right (S5E21 Necromancing the Stone)?  LOL

Blinking became a Warlock only power despite Melinda Warren in S1E9 The Witch is back saying Matthew Tate possibly copied blinking from another witch.  Also, not all warlocks blinked.  In S2E3 The Painted World, Jane is a warlock who couldn't blink.  Malcolm had to open up the door, for her.

Demons being less demonic and a substitute for warlocks.

All I can think of, for now.

EDIT:
S1E8 The Truth is Out There...and it Hurts, claiming that only female kin will have powers, within the Halliwell line.  Later in S5-S6 and S8...that's not the case...

I know right, The Crone.

The Elders were known as the Founders and they or them in S1 and S2. That changed in 'Blinded By the Whitelighter'. 

Leo's powers had limits in S1 and S2, he couldn't orb the sisters like a magical taxi driver like he can in S3 or S4 and beyond. He ONLY orbs someone in a rare situation. The one time he did was in P3 H20, and he had to hug Piper, and when they came to the lake, Piper had side effects. I preferred this, its much less predictable and much less easy to solve problems.

When Prue died in S2, the sisters had to carry her home for Leo to heal her. I found this more dramatic. I forgot when they started calling Leo and he'd appear to them right away. I sure it was in S3, but it might have been S2. I only think it was 3, because they didn't scream for Leo to heal Prue when she was stabbed in the park, and had to carry her home, where Leo was waiting to heal her.

And no, Leo was assigned to the sisters after they got their powers, not watching them as children.

I swear P3 H20 felt like it was only created for Piper/Leo's arcs. All the Patty/Sam parts felt like they were just used as a comparison to Piper/Leo's relationship. To be honest, I wished it focused just on Patty's death and had been an episode with one plotline like 70s Episode. It goes against S1 canon, since whitelighters were not meant to show themselves to their charges.

[Aaeiyn]

Whatever happened to Victor's "protection ring", from S1E3 "Thank You For Not Morphing", anyway?  Would've come in handy, when he was being threatened in S8E1 "Still Charmed & Kicking", that way the Charmed ones didn't have to pose as baby Wyatt nor Victor.

I hated that ring, anyway.  Such a copout.

You have to pay attention when he is and isn't wearing the ring.  I thought he was wearing it, when Prue TK'd him, but I guess he wasn't.  Such a flip flop plot.

[Prue's Feather]

I think all of you have really hit the major ones. The whitelighter thing is a mess. Paige forgetting she was there for vanquishing the Source kills me. (I guess she must have been hit in the head one too many times with all the demon attacks and just forgot this important part of her journey of being a Charmed One.) And the thing we discussed Aaeiyn about Prue... Still love my Prue "Consistently Inconsistent Jedi Master Overnight" Halliwell ;P And oh, whitelighters being pacifists but yet those pacifist whitelighters could throw some pretty mean punches when they wanted to xD

This might not be a big inconsistency compared to everything else talked about above, but in That '70s Episode, we find the Patty was supposedly drowned by a warlock. But in P3 H2O, she has now been killed by a water demon. But warlocks and demons are the same thing, right? ;P

Also, something that bothers me about P3 H2O like timeline wise? At the end of They’re Everywhere (the previous episode), we find that Phoebe forgets who Eric is and the last thing she remembers is the Halloween party that happened three weeks ago (from getting some of her memories taken away from the Collector warlock). So this would mean it’s around the end of November/beginning of December? But the next episode we’re getting ready to open a summer camp? That must have been a nice few months’ break of no warlock or demon attacks for the sisters, lol. 

Going back to That '70s Episode, Phoebe writes in her note to Patty to be careful on February 28, 1978 because a warlock will drown her. I highly doubt she’d be at a summer camp with Prue and her sisters in February. I mean, the weather is definitely different in California than where I’m at during this time (snow galore) but still. It’s not warm enough in California (I think?) to have kids going to a summer camp at the end of February/beginning of March.

I don't know. Timeline stuff like this bothers me. ;P

Lol, I think this show needed a guide book to keep track of nitty gritty details of each season. Their own “Book Of Shadows” HA!

[Aaeiyn]

Prue's Feather, speaking of "pacifist" whitelighters, Natalie in S3E11 Blinded by the Whitelighter is able to throw out some energy balls.  Granted not enough to kill but to sting, like Cole tossing out low voltage energy balls at "Phoebe", in S4E4 Enter the Demon.

I presume the ring is in the same place as Victor Halliwell - retconned out of existence. 😉

Now, the amulet that saves Phoebe’s life in “Pardon My Past”, on the other hand…

But, like I said, those don't bother me as much as the same episode ones do.

Kyra and Litvack disappoint me.

[Prue's Feather]

Aaeiyn And we all thought she was the only TRUE pacifist whitelighter...

Looking very briefly at my Season 2 notes I took while rewatching the Prue seasons...

Ms. Hellfire Episode – So Piper can’t use her freezing power on good witches, right? Alright, after Phoebe and Darryl have gotten Marcy (the other witch on Ms. Hellfire’s hit list) and she’s hopping around the Manor with Phoebe by her side as she’s saying some protection spells, Piper gets so annoyed with her she freezes her. This shouldn’t have happened. Unless, of course, Marcy is secretly playing them and is a warlock instead. xD But obviously this doesn’t happen.

I was just glossing over my notes from They’re Everywhere and P3 H2O, so naturally, as Ms. Hellfire follows these, I kept reading on.

And who knows if Prue and Phoebe ever made it to either those kickboxing or Tae Bo classes lol.

I'm going to have to keep updating this, I think. I'll be back at some point with more. xD

OMG, that's right! "Good witches don't freeze"...unless the writers want us to ;P

'Cause they froze in S6E4 "The Power of Three Blondes" and S7E11 "Ordinary Witches" ;P

Looks like that rule only applies for S2E17 How to Make a Quilt Out of Americans for plot convenience.

I just took Marcy freezing to mean she wasn’t a magical witch, so much as a Wiccan. Probably why none of the sisters bothered listening to her “expert” suggestions. 😉

"Good witches don't freeze" doesn't specify magical witches, only. Marcy is still on Hellfire's list as a "witch" which doesn't specify if she's magical, either. We can infer that, but nothing is explicitly stated to differentiate magical witches vs Wiccan witches and which ones can freeze vs who can't.

S1E7 The Fourth Sister Aviva seems to have the same skillsets as Marcy. The powers she has are given to her from Kalli, yet didn't freeze, either. The only "natural" magic Aviva seems to have is conjuring Kalli, which I don't even think she's actually doing. Considering, Kalli can appear without actually being conjured.

Another same episode continuity error, for me. Kalli appearing free willy nilly without actually being conjured. I think Aviva was handpicked, and Kalli made Aviva seem like she conjured her but didn't.

Totally agree! I was thinking that a couple months ago. I thought it made more sense to have Patty be the hippie instead of Grams.

While Witchstock may not be the best episode, the only reason why I like it is because I do think it's funny, and it's a rare episode showcasing the Paige era as sisters.
