Coop was just a sorry excuse to fulfill the professy in "All Hallows eve" that she ended up with someone whose name started with "C". I feel like they wanted to have Phoebe end up with someone and realized they had very few episodes left so they forced it. I am honestly surprised they remembered the "C" from All Hallows Eve since we know the writers had many continuity errors. It was the reason why the first time I watched Charmed I always thought no matter how rough Phoebe and Coles relationship was that she would eventually end up with him somehow. |

Yeah I agree it was the worst story they gave Phoebe in the later seasons dear. Honestly wished they never did this story. Phoebe only seemed to want children so badly after seeing that vision. I just felt that everything phoebe did after cole was just Phoebe trying to get over him. Even though they never said it, she never really got over him. I agree Phoebe should have quit the column and focused back on the craft like she did in seasons 1 to 4. She was always more of a formidable asset for the sisters when she was at home. If you think about it, anytime Phoebe was home and able to focus on the magical issue at hand she had always been to one to usually come up with a plan and solid solution. But with all the distractions she got with work and men she was never able to focus. That's why even though season 8 wasn't that good, one thing it did I liked was how billy made Phoebe feel guilty about neglecting the craft and she started to slowly begin to help more. Even though it was almost 4 seasons too late. Paige should have kept being a social worker and using her job as an asset and means to help innocents. As a whitelighter she was always prone to attracting magical cases as we saw throughout season 5 so as a social worker she had a good platform to get the resources to help people. Especially to be able to help when it wasnt always a magical solution that needed. Like with the boy who was a fire starter. But I guess the writers were always trying to tell us in everything that that the sisters couldn't focus on work and the craft at the same time. Focus was always on one or the other. Same we saw with Prue and bucklands An an another note I also felt Prue should have stayed at bucklands. Even though photography did have some benefits, it wasn't as much as when she was at bucklands. Loved the time Phoebe worked with her for a time and would get premonitions off of so many artifacts she touched. There were so many potentials for various stories we could have had. I think a reason Prue might have left Bucklands had to do with her trip to the future. It might have played a role in her wanting to leave. I couldn't agree more on the other things you said dear. So I do wish we got a role reversal Phoebe taking Paige's story in season 5 leaving her job and Paige moving up the ranks dear on her job. Much better set-up for season 5 for me. |

Again nobody said dear that all three had to be married in the end. They could of left Phoebe's future more unknown in the end, and left the fans decide. But again I didn't like those flashforwards. I think the C was just luck. I truly doubt the writers remembered that. |

Charmed was permanently closing and it was trendy losingto end with flash forward, egg I remember the ugly final of Will and Grace
So they have to marry every sister in a little bit
The writers did a good job with Henry and Paige, not so good with Coop and Phoebe
if they want to find a man for Phoebe they'ld search in her past, maybe resurrecting a chastened Jason

In my opinion I don't think she wasn't. Wait you think it was good she was giving out love advice or you didn't think it was good for her to be giving out love advice I meant that Phoebe wasn't the best person to give love advice after the mistakes she made with her relationships. |

Thats what I thought you meant but I wasn't quite sure. Especially when we never were told that her and Jason broke up only that he moved which meant she was cheating on him. |

Jason didn't want a relationship with a witch
He was thinking as Andy

It would have been better if Phoebe continued studying and obtained a PHD. As in Season 7, she was 'going back to college' until the identity crisis. This would have meant she was more at home. Paige should have become a Social Worker and worked part-time. It would have made more sense. Then again, I also would have preferred Quake but didn't mind P3.

One of the change of being a witch it was for Phoebe the discover of a new love for education and I think it would be a good thing for her carry on her studies
I am not sure that Paige had a great interest in her job

Do you think if Paige was born before Piper and Phoebe, i.e. she was the eldest due to a teenage pregnancy that it would have been better?
Breaking the order of the sisters ruined Piper and Phoebe's characters. It worked well in the first half of Season 4, but that's about it.
I think, had Phoebe died and Paige come in, that this would have been the better scanario. Even though I love the Phoebs

I love the Phoebs, too. I just don't love the PhoeME who she became after meeting Cole.

Charmed really had an inconsistency with dates. Friday the 13th was not possible in season 1 and 2, because the only one in 1998 was November and the only one in 1999 was August. Talk about writers who didn't even bother to look up a calendar. LOL
Also Prue's birthday was apparently October 28th, that worked perfectly with Dead Man Dating's original airdate. But then Dream Sorcerer states Prue is 27 years old. So are the episode's not in the correct order?

I didn't like how power progression/development was all but staunched shortly after season 4. I think there were some intermittent shows of creative usage mainly on Phoebe's part, but I don't recall Piper ever advancing from localized freezing that she acquired in Season 3 or anything else of that manner. And I really didn't like how the writers kind of forgot (?) in Season 1 that Phoebe was trying to actively summon her premonitions. It's a shame that they didn't continue with that.
And how long did it take Paige to offensively TK orb bodies a la Prue? I think she did it some time in season 6 but I can only explicitly recall when she moved (with perceptible effort) one of the Triad members. It just shouldn't have taken her that long to upgrade from projectiles to larger objects.

They didn't. Phoebe lost powers and Piper was the power of one

But then Dream Sorcerer states Prue is 27 years old. So are the episode's not in the correct order? With the misinterpretation of Prue's age, I'm guessing that the medical people saying Prue's age were either guessing based on her appearance, or they checked her for ID but might have just done the math wrong (after all, it was pretty soon after her birthday). In "All Hell Breaks Loose," there are dead leaves scattered everywhere in the house at the end, but didn't Prue die in May? I don't know about San Francisco exactly, but I know that in Oregon (which is . . . fairly close to San Francisco by American standards) the dead leaves on the ground from fall and winter don't last that long. |

So I know that AHBL aired in May, but I always pictured Prue's death occurring in September, around the three-year anniversary of their becoming witches. It just made it more even and balanced to me that she was a witch for three years rather than two years and eight months or something.
Charmed always aired between September of one year and May of the next, meaning that if we go by that timeline, we never saw events occurring in the summer for the sisters. I always took it as each season was a year, but not following the exact timeline of when the episodes aired.
