Fave 23-episodes of the 50-best episodes from Season 4-8

[rebooted]

A 50-options poll-limit for 112 episodes of Charmed to chose from.



Top 50 of 122  narrowed down from polls in Top 8 Episode Season 4-8 polls in other threads.



Thought it would be nice to chose 22 Paige Era episodes that are your favorites and compare.



This poll was very hard to compile the top 50 episodes for the 112 episodes from Season 4 - Season 8 (Paige era) and might have to be redone with feedback.

Baby's First Demon is a great episode aint it!

I think I am the only one who likes Centennial Charmed.

As I said, in the S1-S3 thread, I'm basing this off of a certain criteria:

I used this system from a varying of "rank the season" threads. Here's the criteria:

Apr 19, 2024 6:47:22 GMT -5 Aaeiyn said:

Priorities
- Power Balance. ALL THREE sisters MUST use their powers/abilities, in the SAME episode. This includes Phoebe's (Strength) Martial Arts. And, how well the episode ACTUALLY balances out their powers, where no one sister feels like their powers/abilities are being used more than another.
- "Protect/Save the Innocent(s)". I'm more invested in episodes protecting/saving innocents than an episode simply attacking the Charmed Ones, no Innocent(s) involved.
- ALL THREE Sisters. ALL THREE sisters are to be present/around during most of the fighting/final fight. Surprisingly, not every sister is involved, funny enough.
- Family History. If not "Protect/Save the Innocent(s)" type of episodes, then I will settle for a "Family History" type of episode over something generically going after the Charmed Ones.
- Original Powers/Abilities. Original powers/abilities are preferred but not AS important, as just having ALL THREE sisters, using their powers/abilities, in general, in the SAME episode.
- Exceptions. Of course, exceptions CAN be made, it just all really depends.

New exception is prioritizing original Warren powers over secondary ones, though later seasons is difficult to find this, but I did try. Anyway, I (also) tried to be even across all seasons.

I chose 5 episodes, for S4-S5 & S8 and only 4 episodes for S6-S7 because I favor S6-S7, in the S4-S8 bracket, and I want to challenge myself. The 23 I chose:

S4E1-2 "Charmed Again, Pt 1 & 2"
S4E5 "Size Matters"
S4E9 "Muse to My Ears"
S4E19 "We're off to See the Wizard" / S4E20 "Long Live the Queen"
S4E22 "Witch Way, Now?"

S5E6 "The Eyes Have it"
S5E9 "Sam I Am" / S5E10 "Y Tu Mummy Tambien"
S5E16 "Baby's First Demon"
S5E17 "Lucky Charmed"
S5E20 "Sense & Sense Ability"

S6E4 "The Power of Three Blondes"
S6E5 "Love's a Witch" / S6E7 "Soul Survivor"
S6E9 "Little Monsters"
S6E18 "Spin City"

S7E7 "Someone to Witch Over Me" / S7E8 "Charmed Noir" / S7E20 "Imaginary Fiends" / Other: Comment (S7E19 "Freaky Phoebe")
S7E10 "Witchness Protection"
S7E16 "The Seven Year Witch"
S7E21 "Death Becomes Them" / S7E22 "Something Wicca This Way Goes"

S8E1 "Still Charmed & Kicking" / S8E3 "Run, Piper, Run"
S8E7 "The Lost Picture Show"
S8E12 "Payback's a Witch"
S8E16 "Engaged & Confused"
S8E19 "The Jung & the Restless"

Depends on the poll.

Give it time. This poll has only been out for about 2 days.

You may have voted in my Favorite (or Preferred) Prue "Solo-ish" Episode(s) but not commented on it. That poll has existed since Aug of 2023! I've yet to see a comment from you about it. But that doesn't necessarily mean you didn't vote in it

TBH, I haven't been liking S5E6 "The Eyes Have it" as much. I came to the realization that only Phoebe's powers (mainly premonition) seem to be working "properly". As in, her powers (premonitions) don't miss, fail (like Piper's exploding power, in this very episode, that's why they switched over to potions, but I digress) nor unused (like Paige's TK-Orbing power, not once did Paige use it, in this episode), etc. S5 does this a lot, even though it tends to utilize their original Warren powers more, S5 makes them miss, fail, doesn't use it or (worse) it's not their natural selves using it via S5E4 "Siren Song" Wyatt is messing with Piper's powers, S5E7 "Sympathy for the Demon" they're stuck in Barbas' world when using their powers, S5E8 "Witch in Time" Piper reversed time so really only Phoebe's powers were technically used, etc. So, even though yes, S5 uses their original Warren powers more than S6-S8, they mess with it too much to deviate away from them, when we go into S6-S8.

Sorry, rant xD

I'm changing my mind away from this:

To match similarly (but not exactly) to what I did in my Favorite (or Preferred) Prue Era Episode(s) from This List Part 1 poll.

I'm splitting my votes (S4) 5 / (S5) 5 / (S6) 4 / (S7) 4 / (S8) 5. Since, S4-S5 & S8 are an odd number, 3/5 of those votes will be geared more towards "Power Balance and/or Protect/Save the Innocent(s)" type of episodes. The 2/5 will be geared towards overall enjoyment of the episode(s) regardless of statistics. S6-S7 are an even number of 4, so the votes are going to be evenly split (Stats) 2 / (Fun) 2. I'm still challenging myself in picking more S4-S5 & S8 episodes than S6-S7. My New votes:

Laughing because I am the only one who likes "Centennial Charmed" in this poll!

Love seeing the episodes with 1 vote - like Jung and the Restless, and A Witch In time and Sam I am, Still Charmed and Kicking.

Surprise that more people don't like Chris Crossed given a lot of Chris/Season 6 fans on this forum.

Lovely to see in the top 5:
A Paige from the Past,Little BOx of Horrors(i voted for SWTWGoes) and Number 1:Eyes that Have It. All from different seasons 4,7 and 5 respectfully!

You can like S6 without liking Chris and vice versa.

Spin City is my only S6 vote and I didn't pick any from S7 or S8. 

I love the portrayal of the magical community and the stereotypes in this episode. Its funny. 

COntrsted to Chris's character development that reminded me of Prues anger toward her father and the liken-ness between them.
