Sigmund, An Idiot?

The Elders didn't know, I was astonished that they didn't try to take away the kids, knowing how dangerous was living with their grandfather

Gideon wasn't able to think a so simple solution as to talk with Leo and Piper: I don't remember when and who but I am sure that an Elder told Leo that they became estranged from humanity and Leo's bond with his family was precious for them, to understand people's feelings

Nevertheless, the solution wasn't so complex

Wyatt was the prophesied son of the magic, nobody could have gone against the prophecy canceling his magic, as the Cleaners tried
And to bind his powers wasn't a solution, the Charmed One knew very well how hard was to learn how to handle powers as adults

If Leo, an Elder, had been allowed to live with his family, having as purpose to care, love and train his child, Gideon would be able to supervise Wyatt's growth
Kevin could have supported Leo, especially in the picky years of adolescence

It wasn't impossible to think about the importance of planning Wyatt's education with his parents, but the Elders looked like a sort of nitpickers with their chitchat about balance and good and evil..

Indeed, in Imaginary Friend, Leo's love was enough to stop evil Wyatt

Which is why I always believed that is why Wyatt turned evil in the future - if Chris hadn't turned Leo into an Elder so he was away from his family, he would've been there to stop Wyatt. It's too obvious that that didn't happen in the original timeline or Chris never would've been conceived.

In Still Charmed & Kicking, when the Elders ask Victor to give them custody of the kids, I wondered if that was a potential plot: the Elders take the kids away, calling off Victor's mind every memory of his grandsons, to not break definitely the heart of a man who had lost his daughters
It'ld have been a rational choice, Victor never could have been able to raise 2 magical kids and the girls would spend the time looking for Wyatt and Chris instead of babysitting Billie

That would've been SUCH a better plotline for the final season!

Charmed is full of wasted good ideas

Amen.

Sigmund is not an idiot: he's blind faith in Gideon, he never questioned his orders and when he realized that the "greater good" can not be achieved by killing a child, he faithfully communicated his disagreement.How could he imagine that Elder could kill an innocent person just to shut him up?

I agree.

I think Sigmund thought by "talking to Gideon" would change Gideon's mind but miscalculated how crazed Gideon truly was.
