Which episode(s) do you skip when rewatching?

[theredqveen]

It occurred to me while on my latest rewatch (currently on Hell Hath No Fury, one of the best episodes!) that I have skipped at least two episodes so far - and I know that there's some episodes in the final seasons that I skip because of poor quality, just being boring, etc.

Sometimes I just watch seasons 1 - 5 and then restart everything from the beginning again, or move onto something else for a while.

And on occasion, I have just put on a random episode that I have been thinking about! Sometimes I'll get a quote in my head and can't get it out until I watch it 🤣.

It depends. If it's on my own, I do skip episodes or scenes. But re-watching with other Charmed fans I watch it all.

That fits me too. If I'm doing our re-watches with the board, I'll watch them all, even if some episodes I really dislike. It's different when I can watch it with other fans, verses on my own, I'll skip many.

Typically just a few throughout the series. I noticed recently, I've been skipping "She's A Man, Baby, A Man" during my lone season 2 watches.

I always skip The Wedding from Hell, which is a shame because all of the rest of season one is great.

S1 is so good. I don't think I skip any even WFH.

I tend to skip many on my solo rewatch. S5 seems to have big streches of skips. Particularly from Witch in Time through House Call. I don't don't like Cole in those last episodes. The episodes are not the best either.

Like greta says, it depends on my mood. Though, for me, it depends on the season. The following are what I (mostly) skip:

Season One

1. S1E6 "The Wedding from Hell"
2. S1E21 "Love Hurts"

Season Two

1. S2E8 "P3 H20"
2. S2E12 "Awakened"
3. S2E16 "Murphy's Luck"
4. S2E20 "Astral Monkey"

Season Three

1. S3E20 "Exit Strategy"
2. S3E22 "All Hell Breaks Loose"

Season Four

1. S4E12 "Lost & Bound"
2. S4E15 "Marry-Go-Round"

Season Five

1. S5E4 "Siren Song"
2. S5E7 "Sympathy for the Demon"
3. S5E8 "Witch in Time"
4. S5E9 "Sam I Am"
5. S5E10 "Y Tu Mummy Tambien"
6. S5E11 "The Importance of Being Phoebe"
7. S5E12 "Centennial Charmed"
8. S5E21 "Necromancing the Stone"

Season Six

1. S6E12 "Prince Charmed"
2. S6E13 "Used Karma"
3. S6E21 "Witch Wars"

Season Seven

1. S7E1 "A Call to Arms"
2. S7E14 "Carpe Demon"

Season Eight

1. S8E1 "Still Charmed & Kicking"
2. S8E2 "Malice in Wonderland"
3. S8E14 "12 Angry Zen"
4. S8E17 "Generation Hex"

So, the option I feel represents me would be:

A few episodes from each season

[Aaeiyn]

And, IDK, if I believe anyone saying they "skip ENTIRE seasons". As much as I hate S5, there's still an episode or two that stick out above the rest, that it would be dishonest to say "I skip ALL of S5" 'cause that's not true.

Finally voted option 2. I could lean to a good chunk from every season though (since a few typically means 5 or less but more than a couple, But I'd have to do a proper listing to work that out) Because I don't think any season has a true total skip from me (there's one or two episodes I can watch in some of the latter seasons.), There are even some episodes I CAN watch bits and pieces from and fast forward the rest, but that wasn't an option. 

[Sandra]

Still deciding. Because some seasons option 2 fits me more while others option 3 works more. So I can't really vote for any yet, because the first 3 options changes every season.

I might have to think more on this.

[Aaeiyn]

This poll would work better, if it was directed at specific seasons, rather than the entire show, as a whole.

And I see one has been started. So off to post in S1.

I haven't voted on this one yet. It's too hard to pick an option that works overall for all the reasons Sandra mentioned above.

S1 is good, but the Wedding episode annoys me for some reason. Not the sisters, never them, but the supporting cast acting is yikes in this entire episode for me.

Same honestly, I hate watching Cole descend into madness. My mans deserved better!

Ooo, that's so interesting!

Love Hurts is one of my favourite episodes I think, same for Murphy's Luck and Awakened.

The later seasons definitely have more episodes that I skip, or fast forward to specific scenes at least?

So voted option 2 on the poll. A few episodes a season.

[lunchking]

Just a few episodes over every season. No season has a total skip (although some seasons are watched more than others).

I hear you, yeah the supporting cast have bad acting, but its funny to watch. 

Yeah its really hard to watch. What a horrible end for Cole. I really hate watching those.

I'd take what I say with a grain of salt, as my opinions differ from the masses in ANY fandom, not just Charmed.

It's a joke amongst my circle of friends that I just like to be "edgy" lol

But, yes. Typically (but not always), what folks don't like, I like ;P

EDIT: My theme song is Green Day - Minority.

😂 You're so valid!

To be totally honest, I mostly only like Murphy's Luck because of Arnold Vosloo (the actor who plays the darklighter) is in The Mummy, which I've been completely enamoured with since I was like 14. 

EDIT: As a matter of interest, what is your opinion of The Power of the Three Blondes? As I understand it, the fandom is pretty split on whether it's good or bad. I think it's a very fun episode, which was a refreshing change for a boring season.
