That whole losing one's powers while time traveling into the past NEVER made any sense to me. I second that.....somewhat......... One problem for me is that the demons look too human, and that later in the series they became too comical. |

I think the greatest problem they would have had is defeating Phoebe's son.
The demonic baby; he would be a challenge for them all. But only Wyatt could take him since he is the most powerful witch.
I think this is so crazy, so I tried my best and wrote a story of would have happened if he lived and he fought Wyatt.
You guys can check it out in fanfics "Wyatt's greatest threat."

He would be so mad about what happened to his father. |

You guys do know that Phoebe and Cole's son WASN'T automatically evil? Right?
He became that way due to the potion fed to Phoebe in order to exaggerate the evil already inside him. And like ALL other beings, Phoebe and Cole's son had both good and evil within him. Like Wyatt.
What if Wyatt had been the one to fulfill what Chris had feared . . . and it was Phoebe and Cole's son who had to take him down?
And how do you know that Wyatt would have turned out more powerful than him? If the Seer and the Source had not interferred, Phoebe and Cole's son had the potential to be the most powerful force of good.

So true. But what I said earlier, I meant it as a rival to Wyatt. Kinda a yin to the yang. He could keep Wyatt in check and vice versa... maybe keep him from getting way too cocky.

I thought Phoebe's baby wasn't a baby, just a void of evil. Guess I am remembering wrong. I will have to watch "Womb Raider" again.

A void of evil would've been much, MUCH better than what they did, but it was a true baby. If it wasn't, the Seer wouldn't have been able to bring it to her own womb and it wouldn't have been able to manifest the powers it had even after Phoebe was no longer under the influence of the Seer's potion. The best fic I've ever read about what should've happened to the Phoetus is Nightcrawler's "Carry On, My Wayward Son"Just keep in mind that it was written right after Season Five, so it ignores everything in Season Six through Eight (as should've happened anyway...). One of the very first fics I ever read here at the Cafe, and I still think it's one of the most amazing fics I've ever read. |

Another problem starting in season 4 was the time spent on Paige's character...it was not enough!
Season 4 should have been about Paige and only Paige. Not just learning the craft but seeing more into her life than what we did get.
There's plenty of time to wipe out the Source dude later in the series. He could have been away on vacation in the Bahamas during season 4 (which would have given us plenty of Paige learnin' time).
In season 5 the Source comes back with tan and refreshed. We know Paige in and out and she seems more like a family member to us...
At that point the butt whoopin' begins on both sides...

I thought Phoebe's baby wasn't a baby, just a void of evil. Guess I am remembering wrong. I will have to watch "Womb Raider" again. Voids of evil are not conceived by sex during a honeymoon. And how can that kid be the Source's child, when it was Cole's swimmers that helped conceived it? Even the Seer made it clear to the Source that the baby would be Phoebe and Cole's . . . unless a dark wedding ceremony and a potion was created to ensure that it would become evil and worthy of the Source's throne in the future. Of course, this whole scenario makes about as much as sense as a blue elephant. A "dark" wedding ceremony is supposed to guarantee an individual's moral compass in the future? God, what was Kern thinking with third grade morality? Season 4 was about Paige. The first half was about her overcoming Piper's hostility and learning to become one of the Charmed Ones. The second was about her clashes with Cole/The Source. |

Really? Prove it. Because Phoebe and Cole's child wasn't one. |

Found another little continuity error in "Forever Charmed":
Since Piper and Leo traveled back to 1975, the day Patty and Victor conceived Phoebe, it had to have been either January (most likely late January) or February (most likely early to mid February) of 1975, since Patty was barely pregnant with Phoebe on March 24, 1975, and didn't even know it yet.
However, Prue was born October 28, 1970, meaning she couldn't be five-years-old until October 28, 1975, and thus wouldn't even be four and a half yet as of January or February 1975.

They NEVER knew birthdates. NEVER. It's a shame. Because I think that's one of the first things you need to plan. at the very least, years. So you know how old your charries are. THEY DIDN'T!

I agree. Plan and stick with. It makes things far too complicated when you go changing their birthdays all the time (Piper's is ridiculous) and when you can't keep original continuity (like Prue originally being born in 1971 as per "Dream Sorcerer" and "Pardon My Past" and then being changed to 1970 in season four, which unfortunately became accepted by fans since it was such a prominent episode and the footage was shown over and over again) and then Paige's headstone in "Centennial Charmed" reading 1975.  Honestly, I'm quite surprised that they managed to keep things straight with Phoebe's DOB throughout the entire run of the series. |

Of course I have to agree. I for one more or less accept Prues DOB as 1971 since that makes all the sisters 2 yrs apart from one another (Prue/Piper-2 yrs, Piper/Phoebe- 2yrs, Phoebe/Paige- 2 yrs).
And you would think that they would have a general information list in the writers room/what each writer would get when writing an episode. Or well something Kern would catch since logically it would be his job to read through each script before it goes into production.

I mean, really, it's the least they could do. (I think they owe it to the fans to keep things straight.) I really hope that if I ever fulfill my dream of publishing a fantasy fiction novel one day, I don't ever become one of those authors who can't keep her simple facts straight. I know everyone can make a mistake or two sometimes, but most are just jaw droppingly inexcusable ( Charmed's continuity and One Tree Hill's timeline come to mind as top notch examples of that for me). |

This was confirmed in both "Thank You For Not Morphing" and "Coyote Piper". |
