I can't understand this discussion about Bianca
Piper and Paige see that the Phoenix flees, think that she'ld not abandon her daughter and run to Bianca's room to catch Lynn
Why in few seconds could the sisters opt for kill???! or bind Bianca powers? They needed answer from am adult Phoenix they didn't know jet that Bianca was from the future they saw only a children with a doll

Why are you guys so determined that Chris had not inherited anything from the Warren line? Is it due to his gender? Is this all about gender politics? We weren't discussing gender politics only about next generation powers Summing up: The Truth Is Out There And It Hurts: Andy and Prue are talking about her powers inherited from her mother Andy: So, when you have kids...? Prue: If they’re girls... yes. I told if Prue was right males from Warren line were void of powers maybe witches but void of powers So Henry junior'ld be a boy able to cast spells but wihtout TK or orbing- a grandfather whitelighter'ld be not enought Wyatt is linked to a different prophecy and his powers come from the day he was born Chris is a witch and powerful - time travel spell'ld not be for everyone- with whitelighter abilities Melinda Warren saw a line of female witches with powers getting stronger this does not mean that there were no male withces unless you do not think that a witch has to have imperatively active powers |

Billie and Christy's mother wasn't a witch they got their magic from their grandmother, if there is a witch-gene this can jump two or three generations sometimes even more Maybe it'ld be a Warren trait the mother-daughter transmission of the witch-gene If that's the case, explain Wyatt and Chris, especially Chris. Wyatt is explained because he's Twice Blessed. Chris (who should've been Christina the way Wyatt should've been Prudence Melinda) would make sense if he only had whitelighter powers like his father, but he was also a witch with powers. I think the Jenkinses' mother was still a witch; she just didn't have powers. I'll always believe that the powers skipped a generation so all of the powers of that generation would instead be given by their mother's half-siser, Patricia Halliwell, to her daughters, the Charmed Ones, hence the reason why so much of the last season concentrated so much on the Jenkinses - fellow Warrens. Had Grams not bound the sisters' powers, it might have been Prue or Piper who was kidnapped and turned evil. Wyatt is easy to explain he is the son of Magic he'ld be born in Halliwell family or not it's not important he belongs to another prophecy, Melinda actually had not seen his arrival Chris is the son of a whitelighter-I know Leo was an Elder but a Elder is only a career whitelighter- he has his powers, TK and orbing He is able to do potion but I think Piper was a severe teacher In Chris Crossed he casts a powerful spell so he is a witch too but a witch without powers from Warren dinasty If you think that Chris inherited powers from his father you'ld think that Henry doesn't have powers a grandfather isn't enough |

this discussion is out of context I'm not a religious person but I cannot accept sentences written without thinking
What would happen to the ancient and advanced Greek and latin knowledge if generation of monks had not spent their life saving and copying ancient texts?
In my valley once they worshiped the goddess Artemis - or Hecate or Diana always the same goddess- as Lady of the woods and the plants, my great grandmother Elodie had a recipe for every plant, Artemis recipes and believed to have met Holda walking to the Quille-du-Diable : the recipes are written in an old notebook but my family prefers to go to our doctor we belive in the research and the pharmacology
And we show respect for the Church

The writer Robert Masello was the specialist of magic he created white and darklighter and introduced mythological creatures as Wendigo or Banshee.

I agree with you
In another board - Destined- some members were saying things like these, that Billie and Christy had more offensive power of Phoebe and even Paige but they weren't powerful as the Charmed One
Billie was the key because she was able to do what generation of demons had only dreamed of, to gain easy access to the Book of Shadows to the knowledge and the spells of Warren dinasty
Billie was the key because she got the most powerful weapon, the confidence of the sisters and Wyatt
A wonderful plan the sisters spent time teaching Billie the way to destroy them and if this were not enough, here is the ultimate weapon ready, Wyatt willing to help auntie Billie to evoke the Hollow!

Glad to be helpful
And I am happy you may avoid the clichè of Phoebe's girls jumping in a flurry of hearts !

Sorry a forgot a 's, Piper's boys
Coop cannot teleport, in forever charmed without his ring he wasn't able to return to the manor
In Heartbreak City the cupid asks for help because his ring was stolen
Prue: Alright, show us something supernatural.
Cupid: Drazi took my ring. It's my powers, how I get in.
Cupid: Well, I need the ring to get back. I mean, unless you can get me another one but the problem is I need it to get back to them.
Prue: Wait, you're stuck here?
Cupid: No, actually, you can help me get back home. One more potion, some well-chosen words from the Charmed Ones and I'm on my way

Charmed cafè is as a real cafè someone comes here every morning and talks someone looks at it in hurry someone stops time by time
Today I went jumping because I put my ankle out skating so I have time to talk, this is a place in which it's nice to talk unlike other sites where dissent is forbidden
I don't think that you are a problem Es, I love both Chris and Piper it's not a problem if you don't: I grew in the valley of Valais where people think that everyone is free to choose the tree where hitch up so I have a different way of seeing things than yours, more soft, but I like your strict point of view even if I disagree
But I think that your violent language'ld scare a newbie and sometimes you use unfathomable short form: what is TPoPPPP's?
Charmed closed five years ago but it's still watched by thousands of people who may discover it for the first time and then they discover that there is a place where people love to talk about a world that more or less has fascinated all of us
I think the Cafè'll be crowded for a long time

I cannot think that Elders or the Tribunal- I hate even the idea of that tribunal-could take away powers from witches they can block them but not take what is a genetic heritage
Phoebe powers were bound by the Tribunal in the same manner in which they were blocked by Penny
The Cleaners-other stupid people- didn't order Piper to bind Wyatt powers, a more reasonable solution that took away a baby from his mom, likely because it'ld be hard in a son of magic as Wyatt
Many of the old tales tell how difficult it is for a human manage strong powers I think it is safer to let Wyatt grow accustomed to the magic that he own

You are not alone I like hybrids
I don't think all the children of the sisters are hybrids
We don't know what the cupids are but we learned that all their powers- stupid hearting trasporting too-are linked to the ring so, unless they stole Coop ring, Phobe girls are normal witches
Paige's twins have only a grandfather whitelighter I cannot think that a quater of heritage'ld be enought to a strong mutation so I think they are normal witches
Henry junior... Prue told that men from Warren family aren't witches in this case Piper's boy'ld be the only exception

I think they needed magic school to have a safe place for the children they cannot bring every time Wyatt and then Chris to Darryl how could Darryl home be a refuge for two magical children?
Magic school idea was popular because of Harry Potter - but is more old than Harry Potter- so they used it
I didn't mind of magic school but I'ld prefer if it was a simple refuge, a day care for magical babies a place where a young witch'l learn about magic not about powers
The sisters are unique because they can read spells that no other witch can use because of the power of Three those spells are powerful and special and even a powerful witch as Christy'ld never use them This is the difference between the Charmed One and witches with strong powers
It's the same for Wyatt he is not special for his powers but because he is able to use magic without spells as when he called up Penny in bodily form or when he exachanged his parents souls
Even charmed fans talk more often about powers than about magic

Charmed isn't a story about witches coven or Wicca way it was born as three sisters story with the usual problems of young women from 20 to 30 years who discovered they were witches
The heart of the series was about how reconcile supernatural and normal world how would be possible being witches and normal women who have to work, who need friends and love and time off
Charmed target was women from 20 to 50 years old, not teens, women who'ld identify with them, think -and if this happen to me? how to react?
A series about magic counselors healers or herbalist it'ld be different with a different structuring

Sorry Gosth Rider I was curious about the mean of "real world"
About Charmed, the not magic world was conceived as a battlefield between good and evil forces a writer's choice it was up to Burge to decide on the setting she prefered to picture witches as protectors instead of magical counsellores or detectives
A writer has the right to write what prefers

I agree with Gosth Rider and Quadquetra and I share with her the discomfort about some moralistic criticisms
I'ld not watch Charmed if it had been the usual series of spotless and fearless superheroes I liked they were pictured as normal women with problems wishes flaws and fears
It is worth being afriad and pushing forwrad I don't give credit to someone who is perfect an do perfect things..too easy
I know Es'll be scandalized but I never liked the assumption of Morality Bites,that Phobe'd become the kind of woman able to kill a person only because she started on punishing an impolite slob,( here in Zurig he'ld pay more or less 1000$ for that) and Piper a divorced woman and Prue a selfish carrerist. Unconvincing
If Grams knew they'ld become the Charmed One she'ld have to think that a great power requires strict discipline and training to manage it. They were good at getting by

I think that if the writers had given CO's powers that way we were here dicussing about how wrong it was, how it'ld be better if Prue gained Astral Projection and Phoebe Levitation and Piper'ld Molecular combustion
It's difficult to give birth to an original idea more easy to pick at it

Just curious, how do regular witches act?

Post by erikamarie on Jan 26, 2011 2:15:31 GMT -5
Yes, they were. That's all they ever did was hunt and kill demons, warlocks or any other supernatural bad guys. They rarely acted as counselors, healers or supernatural guides. They simply killed magical bad guys. What made this worse is that the series tend to emphasize these actions as typical for witches with magical abilities. I thought their task was to protect innocents not being guide or counselors let alone healers |

I found very interesting whitelighter idea but I don't like the confusion with angels and religion
Charmed is a world of fantasy, a reality were a magic world interacts with normal life:the whitelighters aren't angels but humans turned magical beings, the Elders aren't Gods but withelighters with more power,the witches aren't intrepid paladins of good but normal persons who have to get the accounts square and wish love and friendship and fun (I cannot believe that somebody'ld wish pain and batttle and death)
A magic world regulated by special rules:but the CO are humans they don't have to obey to the Elders,they don't have the duty to save the world they have the chance to do it it's up to them to want to do it
