- The Fun Little Show That Could Is Ending -- JJ Mindset, 16:58:32 03/04/06 Sat
I guess it was inevitable. This show has gone through so many changes, including one main actress replacing another, change of attitude, lightened storylines, etc.. It's not the same show that Shannen left by the time the fifth season started. Thanks for the memories, nonetheless. I will finally write a long-detailed analysis of the whole show in May, after the last episode has aired.

"Charmed" Spell Is Broken
by Natalie Finn
Mar 3, 2006, 5:15 PM PT
Charmed will not be bewitching the new CW network next season. The WB confirmed Friday that the show has been canceled, with its final episode scheduled to air May 21.
With eight seasons behind it, the supernatural series, starring Alyssa Milano, Rose McGowan and Holly Marie Combs as sister witches Phoebe, Paige and Piper Halliwell, is one of the WB's longest running series.
Friday's news was hardly shocking.
McGowan told E! Online TV columnist Kristin Veitch last month that the end appeared near. When asked if there might be another season, McGowan replied, "My contract's done. Other contracts are done, so no. You know, the show's been on forever. It has achieved so many milestones. It's the longest running female show in history. That's kind of bizarre. I mean, I haven't been there the full eight years, but it's still a huge achievement."
The fate of the Halliwell sisters had been up in the air since the WB and UPN networks announced they were shutting down to form the CW, a one-stop shop for the type of youthful programming each network has specialized in. While the new network hasn't officially unveiled its schedule, CW execs specifically mentioned in a press release shows like the UPN's America's Next Top Model, Veronica Mars and Everybody Hates Chris and the WB's Gilmore Girls, Smallville and Beauty and the Geek.
With Charmed MIA from the list, executive producer Brad Kern decided to hedge his bets. He told TVGuide.com Friday that he had written this season's finale as a series-ender. "It's been a hell of a run," he said, "but all good things must come to an end."
About 3.9 million viewers have been tuning in this season to watch Milano, Combs and McGowan battle the forces of darkness. Solid numbers for the network, but the show's advanced age and production costs made it expendable. (The highest rated show on the WB, with an average of 5.4 million viewers, is 7th Heaven, which is ending its 10-year run at the end of the season. Both Charmed and 7th Heaven are produced by Spelling Television.)
Per TVGuide.com, Brian Krause, who plays Piper's husband, says guardian angel Leo is expected to materialize for the final episode. However, one person viewers shouldn't expect back in the coven is Shannen Doherty.
Doherty's character, Prue Halliwell--another sister--was killed off after three seasons amid reports that the former Beverly Hills, 90210 dweller was being a witch behind the scenes.
McGowan was then tapped to play long-lost little half-sis Paige Matthews.
And the trio have been harmoniously kicking evil's butt ever since.

- Charmed DVD News -- JJ Mindset, 03:43:33 11/08/04 Mon
TV Shows On DVD:
Charmed - When are the DVDs coming? We KNOW!
Posted by David Lambert
11/06/2004
It was over a year ago that TVShowsOnDVD first brought you word that Charmed - the most popular unreleased title in our voting - would not make it to DVD until 2005. There have been rumors on the internet for a couple of months now that said we would see the first DVDs in the second month of that year. We kept quiet about that, because they WERE just rumors, and the folks at Paramount didn't know if the release would make it out in that timeframe or not.
Today Paramount Home Entertainment officially announced that Charmed - The Complete 1st Season IS on the February schedule. An exact release date was not given just yet, but we anticipate having this in the not-too-distant future. No other details are available just yet, either, but stay tuned because we're as anxious to provide them as you are to get them!
One last thing: according to the rumors, Paramount planned to get future releases out every three months: February, May, August, November, and so on. We don't know for sure that this is the studio's release plan, but the pattern it represents is very similar to that of other hot TV-on-DVD releases from them, including today's announcement of MacGyver. Stay tuned!

- A Very Interesting Article -- JJ Mindset, 03:09:57 01/30/03 Thu
I thought I'd use this message board to post the link to an article by a Robert A. Black, a professed BtVS fan who now says that the show Charmed has surpassed it in quality. Whatever your views on it you'd have to admit that this article is contrarian to the general viewpoint out there on this particular subject.

- Thoughts after watching Blinded By The Whitelighter -- JJ Mindset, 18:28:06 02/09/01 Fri
This episode was better than I expected. There were moments where there were some weaknesses. One of them is the increased reliance on scrying to find witches. Since they have powers, wouldn't one of them come up with an idea on how to find a fellow witch without using one thing too much? I don't think it's that complicated to figure out.
We also got to learn a bit more about Whitelighter culture. One question that has come to my mind when watching Natalie "dictate" to the witches is: Aren't real-life witches supposed to be considered very-independent and self-conscious? Maybe that's a reason to explain the Charmed Ones' rebellion against her. She(Natalie) wanted so much for the Charmed Ones to go that extra mile to defeat demons and warlocks. Unfortunately, the writers have decided that they're going to portray the Charmed Ones as having the right instinct to go about things and not be "bogged down by rules." Whatever. It would have been an interesting change in direction if they decided to make it so. But since the show has been increasing in popularity, I guess I can't affect things too much.
Another thing that is getting me right now is how Leo interepreted the rules. When Natalie was arguing with him about how the Charmed Ones were getting too sloppy, Leo responded by saying that they work best when they're not "doing things by rote." Yet, he hasn't questioned the rule about going to where a charge was calling him, unless he was with another charge at the time. He has been bending over backwards for the Charmed Ones ever since he got involved with Piper, even wearing casual clothes when up in the heavens.
I really thought the writers made a good plan to write out the plot by the warlock to get to "WhiteLighterLand" by having him carefully stalk witches he needs to get the necessary powers in order to threaten witches all over the world. The criticisms by some who have commented on it are, IMO, a bit harsh. The plot was thought out well.
Other thoughts:
- I was curious about the way Reese pronounced "occult paraphernalia." That "ghetto speak" is always interesting, no matter the situation. LOL :-)
- About the point of Leo not feeling for Natalie after she died...I think that since they've already died before becoming Whitelighters that it's not supposed to be such a big deal the second time. In the real world, you only die one time and that's it. In the Whitelighter World, you are given the responsibility of protecting a charge. IMHO, Leo must have thought that Natalie dying again was a sign of her failing to do her duty, not someone else killing her. I know it's a bit of a stretch but it's still a good argument.
- So the Elders drop probation for Leo/Piper. Gee, I wonder when they're going to sanction a Phoebe/Cole union as well. Then again, a lot of Charmed fans wouldn't mind that as well. LOL
Best Lines:
Piper: You know...this all-good-for-the-mankind stuff...I have no other choice but to be...understanding.
Leo: You just got to accept that you're engaged to someone who's working for the CIA.
Piper: Oh...
Phoebe(walking in): You mean you work for the CIA?
Prue(tongue-in-cheek): You know, Pheebs...ever since you became a blond...

- Thoughts after watching We Scream For Ice Cream -- JJ Mindset, 20:14:26 01/25/01 Thu
The episode "We Scream For Ice Cream", in my opinion, had some moments that may foretell some interesting subplots and developments down the road. First of all, the episode starts at the club P3, where Piper is concerned about Caleb looking at her and Phoebe, still having a bit of that young carefree spirit in her, having a little fun teasing Piper about it. Of course, Piper is not too pleased by that, although I tend to think that Phoebe is trying to get her to not worry so much about her relationship problems by teasing her about Caleb's staring. I liked how Phoebe is going about it..."I say 'relaxo'" was her line to Piper.
The main subtext was, of course, Prue trying to come to terms with her feelings towards her father, who she feels abandoned her when she was a child. The various dream sequences, including the recent one of her feeling abandoned at the playground, tell a story of her believing that she was cursed from the time she was born. This could explain her former ambivalence about her being a witch during the episode "Something Wicca This Way Comes". It's a common theme with Prue. She saw her mother get drowned, her father abandon her in her mind, her getting assaulted by someone when she was 17, which was sort of re-enacted in the episode "Be Careful What You Witch For", etc.. We see how Prue has evolved into what she is now and some reasons why. With all that in mind, it seems to me that her now-new state of relations with Victor is only a temporary state of truce. What I'm saying is that because Victor managed to pull her away from the "Nothing", she has to give him her gratitude and cease what ever feelings of rejection she may had before. I don't know how long that would last but I hope the writers follow-up on that point.
Now to the main plot of the episode and those subtexts I mentioned before had a lot to do with the main plot. Prue and Pheebs are sucked into the ice cream truck, which is really a device to collect young demons and bring them to the Nothing before they create more havoc. There, Pheebs gets a premonition about young Prue running in the snow-covered playground, which is re-enacted inside the magickal(sort of) ice cream truck, where she runs scared and Victor rescues her. It was at that point when Prue then believed that the Nothing was targeting young children and that the man was an evil agent. What was interesting about it is how Prue's somehow transferred her feeling about being hurt and abandoned to her feelings towards the young children. As if it was the extra incentive needed to save them. Lo and behold, the children turn out not to be as they thought. Still, I would have liked to see the Charmed Ones elaborate on how they were fooled by them. It looked like they came to that conclusion too fast, IMHO. At least Phoebe brought up the point about how things were going weird with the latest problem during the scene at the attic.
Other thoughts:
- I would like to know if Prue has gone to the picnic organized by Justin or not. :)
- Funny line by Piper where she tried to stop Caleb from asking more personal questions. "I don't know what you're into, but there's a club not very far from here. They have cages, rubber floor and three for two special."
- I'm beginning to wonder why the writers think it's cute to continue to use Leo as a plot device. Leo should be given a bit more personality than that. LOL
- Now that Victor is supposedly going about another new life, how would him being around more affect Piper, especially now that he's going to talk to Leo?
Best Lines:
Prue: Hi, I need some professional help.
Phoebe: No arguments here.

- Thoughts after watching Coyote Piper -- JJ Mindset, 06:04:16 01/13/01 Sat
Several things that happened with this episode grabbed my attention. First of all, it is a new episode after almost a month of repeats. That's the obvious. Second, more important than the first, is that this episode was laden with plenty of subtext that you have to wonder if the writers were very bright that morning when they penned the whole thing or they must have had help from the writing gods(i.e. lifted some ideas from somewhere else--Hehe) of past glory.
Before I get to discussing the main plot, I want to discuss the subplots of the episode and what implication they might have for the future. Phoebe tries to piece together what she had with Cole Turner. She goes inside the mausoleum and stops towards the burned out spot where she made the fake vanquish. Others have said that they weren't interested in that, but I disagree. Phoebe is still engaged in her own personal battle against giving in to the notion of her love for Cole not mattering much in the whole scheme of things. It's the thought that she's having these conflicts why I find it fascinating. Is it dawning on her that she may be experiencing what Piper went through with Jeremy? Is Cole really bad in the end? Is there more to Cole's past than what was givin to us? Then, the premonition starts. It can only be a sign of things to come because how else can you explain a premonition. Here, we see what appears to be Cole's mother killing Cole's dad in 1888. Someone has brought up a theory that Cole's mom could have a connection to the Source and that Cole was recruited by the Source or Triad as a favor for them killing his mother. That would be an interesting scenario. Then there's that scene right at the end of the episode, where Leo confronts Pheebs about her feelings for Cole. I don't know about you, but I got the impression that Leo now knows that Phoebe is hiding something about Cole but he's pretending he knows nothing in order to plan properly for confronting her later. After all, he got the idea that Phoebe is still bitten by her relationship with Cole from observing how she's acted lately. It wouldn't make sense for him to not figure out something's up with Pheebs. Well...that was the thing that jumped at me more than the hyped-up scenes at P3.
I also believe that Pheebs' struggles to find a solution for her Cole problems may prove to be a conduit for maturation and greater strengthening, as long as she doesn't allow them to kill her slowly. The writers will have a tough time figuring out how to plan out a good exposition on that possibility. For one, there's the issue of her on-again, off-again state of affairs with Prue, who will fight her all the way on Cole/Belthazor. We may see another sibling fight like Power Outage in the near future, but this time have even more tremendous implications on the Power of Three.
Speaking of the Power of Three, we see now the whole issue of Piper and the weak link in the chain being played out again. The new wrinkle is, of course, the body possession by an evil witch or sorceress. What I liked about it is that the writers avoided some obvious cliches that would happen in a similar event. For example, I looked at the scene is the evil witch knew something about the Charmed Ones but didn't know exactly what they're capable of. She, after coming to possess Piper's body, had to proceed cautiously and try to force Piper to fill in important details of her life. Perhaps her long-range plan was to get Piper and then kill Prue. But since it was better for her to get Prue and Pheebs to help her get back at the alchemist who trapped, therefore she had to assume Piper's real personality. It was only after Prue encouraged "Piper" to stand up to Missy, who had previously belittled the real Piper and told her to take out the garbage at P3, that she told the "Hey bitch, why don't you move those trays yourself?" line. Now, being comfortable in Piper's body, she has to now fill in Piper's details pretty quickly. Piper knew what was happening and so she tried to warn Leo with her "Tom" comment. I would have wondered if the sorceress would've accepted being part of Charmed Ones if they haven't found out about her. But that's not her nor there. Still, it was an example of clever exposition on the production staff's part.
Then there was the conflict between Prue and Leo over what was happening with Piper. It's a continuation of something that happened in Primrose Empath. That's the episode where Prue figured out through her emphatic powers that Leo was feeling inferior towards Piper because Piper took out her checkbook and paid for the lunch instead of allowing Leo to do that. Now its aftereffects are being felt as Leo gets a little shove on the back from Prue over a little sarcastic joke to Piper. It's interesting to see where that goes next. The shadow of Cole loomed so large that it almost competed against the main plot of the episode. At least it prevented the episode from becoming "All about Piper and her old school buddies." It would be also interesting if we see Piper more in tuned with herself and Phoebe's worries about Cole start to drag her down so much that she loses the spunk she always had. Certainly, Leo's line about Piper being possessed vs. Phoebe allowing herself to be seduced would be seen in another light.
Back to Holly. I saw that when she did to perform the scene where she looks into the kettle that there was that look that told you that she knows how to connect to the audience. In the scene with Missy, I was surprised that her new possessed character didn't change right away. Only when Prue encouraged her that she started acting differently. That was more good exposition.
Other thoughts:
- I'm surprised more people haven't talked about the scene where the sorceress, having possessed a body of a computer exec in the opening scene, started to fiddle around with the gonads of the guy. Hee hee!
- I'm thinking, since they like to introduce things in all three of them: New powers, boyfriends, "deaths", will we see an "evil Prue" in the near future? Some would say we've seen that with Ms. Hellfire, but Prue was conscious during that. It would have to be a circumstance beyond the character's control, from history.
- I loved that scene where Pheebs watches possessed-Piper walk towards the Jeep. "She just left w/o Leo." Prue then goes to explain her theory about Piper. Pheebs responds, "I'm trying to jump on your thought train here Prue, but your going alittle too fast." :)
- So...Do you think Leo knows that Phoebe is hiding something about Cole from him?
- My theory on the possession thing is that the wear-and-tear due to her problems with her relationship with Leo, coupled with the usual wear-and-tear of being a Halliwell made her soul that much weaker. Therefore, Piper was that much more vulnerable to being overtaken. Prue would've been a much tougher cookie to crumble.
- You know, I remember the first time when that EMF song was first-run. I hated that song back then and it just brings back bad radio memories now. That was the song Piper was table-dancing to. It's that song where they sampled Andrew Dice Clay's voice. The "Ohh!!!" part. Ugghh!!
Best Lines:
Prue: You rated a 4 on my list.
Justin: And you rated a 5 on mine. So...
Prue: OK. So I got an F but...dude...you're worse. You got an F-.
Overall, it was a pretty good episode. I liked the subtext throughout the whole episode. Phoebe has already gone and checked out more about Cole's past against Prue's wishes. That's going to be great source for tension later on. Unfortunately, I dread what we may see for the next few weeks just from reading the titles of the next few episodes. Can anyone truly believe that with titles like "We Scream For Ice Cream", "Wrestling With Demons" and "Blinded By The Whitelighter", the next few episodes may foreshadow plots that may not be somewhat juvenile in nature?? I sure hope that it doesn't come out that way.

- Thoughts after watching Sleuthing With The Enemy -- JJ Mindset, 21:13:30 12/16/00 Sat
After watching this episode, I can't help but notice how certain scenes in that episode, especially towards the end, reminded me so much of early BtVS. When Pheebs carries Cole into the mauseleum, I can't help but wonder whether Spike may be hiding there or not. Then, when Pheebs starts to fight Krell, I can't help but compare that to when Buffy was fighting Angelus in the climax of Becoming, Part II. After that, Cole is told to hide away and fake his death, which reminds me of Buffy attempting to hide Angel after he mysteriously came back from Hell by the Claddaugh ring. Oh yeah, Pheebs now has Belthazor's knife, a shout-out to the Claddaugh ring. Gee, if you didn't look carefully, you may have mistaken Sleuthing With The Enemy with Revelations or Graduation Day, Part I. Guess what? I'm not the only one who has noticed this. The newsgroups, both BtVS and Charmed, have had heated discussions on this. Of course, the Buffites have much more negative things to say about it than the Charmers. Then again, what do they know? BtVS has borrowed from previous sci-fi, fantasy, whatever such as Bram Stoker's Dracula, Andromeda and Star Trek. So they're not "saints" on this, either. Still, you have to wonder how far can they really take this. So far in season 3, you have(or will see) references to "Ladyhawk", "The Matrix", "BtVS", "Coyote Ugly" and even "Star Wars"(season 1). Can they maintain the campy fun while going in this new direction? We'll have to see.
Phoebe hiding this Cole individual will truly test the resolve of the Power of Three in the coming episodes. How might they happen? One way could be that whenever the other two sisters encounter something that has the scent of a Cole-like dilemma, Phoebe would just hold back and not be in a fighting mood, causing her sisters to wonder what's holding Pheebs back. The thing that really gets crazy is when Cole does some surprise reappearances. How would Phoebe react to these events? Will he be humanized or more evil? You could see by the way Phoebe reacted when she first saw Krell how she might end up when the stress starts to eat her away. She could start acting very violently if Prue starts probing even deeper into this.
There's also something to be said about Krell's entry into the whole story. That the Source would send this bounty-hunter to hunt Cole down, knowing that the Charmed Ones stand in their way, is very curious to me. Does the Source think in the back of their minds that the Charmed Ones could be made dark and not just Pheebs? I like how Krell and Prue were going back and forth arguing about how to best proceed to catch Belthazor. The reason is that Prue needs a good match in order to get her brain working. Without a challenge, Prue starts to go various places, getting suspicious and antsy. Some ppl hated it but it makes a lot of sense to me.
Other thoughts:
- Loved that line about Leo "Sleeping on the Job". Do you get the hidden message behind that? :)
- Where's Darryl?
- I have to admit that, while reading the newsgroups, I loved a line someone said about watching Phoebe fight Krell with 6" heels. Hehehe :)

- Thoughts after watching Power Outrage -- JJ Mindset, 02:13:13 11/17/00 Fri
This one would go down as one of the usual "middle" episode. Power Outrage would not be in everyone's minds, I predict, when all is said and done in Charmed-verse. Nevertheless, it does have a certain turning point in the progression of the characters, plots, etc.. It centers, mostly, on the ever-more-interesting Cole/Phoebe story arc. As you U.S.-based fans now know, Pheebs has been the focal point of Belthazor's master plan to get to the Charmed Ones and destroy them. He has tried various things in order to succeed, mostly using Pheebs. Now that he's been completely smitten by her, are his days numbered? Certainly, killing his bosses would not help matters for him. Either he resolves to kill the Charmed Ones(and/or die trying) or he turns on everyone else who's evil and die as well. It's not looking good for Cole.
Something struck me while watching this episode. It could perhaps be that Phoebe stopped being a weak before Belthazor started scheming. What we are witnessing is that the other two sisters' weaknesses are being glared more than Pheebs' weaknesses. How long have I waited to see if Piper being taken for granted would come out as a major issue? I now see all that repressed energy bursting out from her. It's funny that it took a demon to do just that. Piper should've done this some time ago, before the demon would take advantage of the Charmed Ones.
This is another thing that has me thinking. The Elders have told them through Leo that they have felt the effects of the Charmed Ones fighting amongst each other and losing their powers as a result. Of course, the Charmed Ones being more vulnerable would jeopardize the Elders' safety in the long run. Yet, it's amazing to see that an organization that is so distant from what's going on on Earth would say how it's been affected. Like why wouldn't they show their faces or send another demigod, instead of plain ol' Leo again?
Other thoughts:
- Was that a blooper I saw? I thought the Triad and the Source are two different evil organizations. Now this one boss tells Cole that he betrayed the SOURCE. Then he forms that fireball that we saw from Litvack in "Give Me A Sign". I'm really confused. :(
- Nice to see Piper standing up to somebody, even if she was influenced into doing it. Hehe...LOL...:)
- The weak link is really Piper, not Phoebe. Pheebs can defend herself and has new power, although she's still vulnerable due to her search for everlasting love. Piper only has her freeze power and doesn't like to fight at all. She doesn't hone any martial arts skills that much. Prue and Pheebs are doing most of the physical work.
- I wonder if it was real life how much money is spent cleaning up after demon attacks?
- Where was Darryl in all of this?
- And for that matter, why haven't we seen Abbey in a jail cell yet? Hehe

Phoebe: From now on, we should let out all our feelings to each other.

- Thoughts after watching Primrose Empath -- JJ Mindset, 15:29:05 11/10/00 Fri
I find it interesting that ppl have concluded that Cole can be turned good after watching him interact with Phoebe. In case you have forgotten, Cole's plan is to get close to Phoebe as a way of getting to The Charmed Ones and finishing them off. So Phoebe did what he always wanted and slept with him. That, alone, can't be used to conclude that he can be turned good. Other things would have to happen, although I don't know what those would be. If you looked at his double-crosses, like setting up Troxa, you might conclude that he did them out of knowing that ordinary demons can't ever defeat The Charmed Ones. He wants to drag this out some further. Belthezor has a master plan. That's why you saw Cole's shadow being called back to him before the shadow reports back to the Triad. So the shadow is actually an invention by the Triad to keep tabs on Belthazor and not part of Belthazor's powers. Very interesting indeed.
Here's the set-up for the episode: Belthazor plays tricks on Prue, who is more seen inside cars these days, by directing her to an abandoned building. There, Prue comes to the conclusion that something's up inside that building and that is confirmed by a construction worker. So she gets inside and hears someone crying inside a dinky apartment, gets the idea to come inside and sees a man(who's actually a demon) crying and pleading for help. Here's where I would agree that Shannen did a fine job in the exposition for this particular episode. The fact that Shannen can show how her character can express the many facets in one episode erases a lot of doubts of her acting abilities.
Back to the episode itself. After she does the selfless thing and absorb the power the demon had, watch how Prue picks up the emotions of her immediate friends and relatives. She plays the conselor who helps couples with their problems. Hehe. The most interesting, obviously, is convincing Pheebs to go after Cole. Did Prue really felt that Cole is really smitten over Pheebs? I am not sure of that. What is becoming clear, though, is that Cole has succeeded in having Pheebs as his girlfriend. Wait and see how he takes advantage of that.
Something about this episode has me thinking that the two Prue-centric episodes(this and Sight Unseen) is setting us up to the major conflice between her and Pheebs over Cole. The reason is because whenever Prue and Pheebs have a conflict it's about Cole. I would like to be right about this one because it would be very entertaining. :)
Other thoughts:
-Coming towards the end, I was thinking that the priest would absorb back the power from Prue. Wrong again. :)
-I loved that scene where Cole calls back the shadow and almost got caught when the shadow left him to attempt to tell the Triad. ^_^
-Also loved that scene at the dentist's office. Now that was hilarious. :D
-Oh yeah. Pheebs and Cole did the nasty. :D
Best Lines:
Piper: What about you talking about, Phoebe?
Phoebe: (starts to pinch Piper)
Piper: OW!(starts to pinch Phoebe back)
Phoebe: OW!
Prue: OW!
Phoebe: See!

- Thoughts after watching Sight Unseen -- JJ Mindset, 14:26:15 11/10/00 Fri
A very well thought-out episode. There were so much going on that I had to watch the episode back and forth to take all of it in. All of the actors did an excellent job portraying the character and acting out the scenes in general.
Several things struck me about this episode. The first thing was that Phoebe would believe that a trap consisting of magical crystals around the BoS. Then, during the end, Prue sort of let it slide for the time being(as U.S. fans now know in the episode "Primrose Empath", she now doesn't suspect Cole as much). Perhaps it's Prue's way of saying to Phoebe that she doesn't want to be seen as the bad girl here even if she risks putting Phoebe in grave danger. After all, back in Season 1, Prue and Pheebs were not going along well.
The second thing that struck me was Piper and Leo were able to overcome their insecurities about re-consumating their love and sleep together once again. This certainly will have a lot of ramnifications with the Elders but I tend to think that their love for each other is so strong that it's going to be very difficult for the Elders(or the Triad, for that matter) to break them apart. Well have to see.
The third thing that struck me was that the issue of home security was even addressed during the episode. After all, it's not the first time that the Manor has been invaded by demons, warlocks, etc.. It's funny that Darryl had to bring it up now that he has found fingerprints that didn't belong to a demon. Just what home security is out there to protect the Manor from warlocks and darklighters? LOL
I get the feeling that Balthazor's plan to get to The Charmed One is, actually, a master plan. My reaction to the Triad's contention that their failures to get to The Charmed Ones were actually "effective information gathering" is one of befuddlement. They certainly wanted to destroy them the first time they sent demons after them. I tend to agree with Balthazor on this one, thereby, concluding that he has a master plan. The point of all this is that he's getting really frustrated that the Triad is sending all the other demons to get The Charmed Ones and he wants all the glory.
The fourth thing that struck me was that there was a surprise after all. I have to give kudos to the production team for setting up everything possible to pull the whole thing off. There was no chance that I could've predicted something like this. Now that thing I have to ask is whether, in casting the human villain for this episode, they may have casted someone that fit a too generalized profile. Yes, I understand that they wanted to show us that one can't always suspect the guy in such situation. Still, Abbey is regular-looking. Certainly not as beautiful as The Charmed Ones, IMHO. Apart from that, the actress should receive calls for other acting jobs because she certainly made an impact. :)
Other thoughts:
-Prue being temporarily blinded by having her head pushed into that fluid certainly gives a new perspective to her persuit of photography. LOL (I'm feeling bad today ^_^)
-Isn't that guy's 15 minutes of fame already up?
-Just what Phoebe sees in Cole?
-If this keeps up, Piper is going to pop a vein.
-Finally, a premonition. :)
Best Lines:
Phoebe: Would that be the pillow-smothering demon?
Prue: You know...I have as trouble finding men as you.
Abbey: Nooo! You mean Shawn? He's a loser and you're a winner!

- Thoughts after watching All Halliwell's Eve -- JJ Mindset, 11:39:17 11/10/00 Fri
First of all, sorry for not posting this sooner. I've been bogged down by work and college. Fortunately, I have a time bubble which enables me to get my opinions of the last three episodes out of the way. Now to what I wanted to post about:
This episode would be what I would call a "benchmark episode." It was interesting to see how the main characters(Prue, Piper, Phoebe, Cole, Leo, Darryl) have come to this point in time. Leo and Darryl were the most interesting to see, IMHO. These two had to defend the Manor in the absence of The Charmed Ones. If there were any shred of doubt that Inspector Morris has a personal interest in helping or defending The Charmed Ones, they were really erased in "All Halliwell's Eve." He views them now as "like sisters." You can take this any way you want, yet, I would like to know what he really thinks of Leo being Piper's boyfriend.
We saw The Charmed Ones go through another time travel to "Colonial Virginia"(Phoebe's words). There, they learn that they have a lot to go before they're able to achieve total greatness. Really, that's really the whole point of the episode. The one scene that struck me the most during that interlude was during the attempt to put Charlotte inside the "protective circle", where Piper asked who was going to help deliver the baby. Her sisters immediately decided that Piper do it, since "you're going to have one in the future." Of course, there wasn't much time and they had a few things to work with; they had to decide quickly. Still, it was fascinating to see Phoebe and Prue anticipating Piper becoming a mother in a point in time. They're so sure that Piper will become a mother that I wonder whether they've been secretly planning the baby shower all this time. Hehehe...LOL...:)
Anyway, back to my main point. The Charmed Ones learn more about their past but, most importantly, they learn that much of what was practiced by their ancestors were lost over centuries due to societal and cultural changes(I want to writers to pick up from where they left off there in a future episode). Since we know how strong they become over time, coupled with the knowledge they gained with the help of Eva, how would they go further from the new benchmark they set for themselves? We'll have to wait and see.
Other thoughts:
-I wonder whether that boy would be seen again or not.
-Yep. Hear the words of Phoebe/Elvira. LMAO
-Speaking of Pheebs, how would she be in the next Halloween episode? ^_^
-Can Piper get any more exasperated than now? ^_^
-Flying Pheebs strikes again! LOL
-Just like Darryl said, "Who are you?!" ^_^
Best lines:
Charlotte: Ohh...the pain is going away. How did you do that?
Piper: Good magic.
Prue: Umm...good magic?
Piper: (whispering) Acupressure!

- Thoughts after watching Once Upon A Time -- JJ Mindset, 23:35:36 10/19/00 Thu
This episode is typical of how Charmed is so not Buffy or Angel. You see, people tend to bunch the three together, as if they had so much in common that one could easily confuse either one of them. "Once Upon A Time" disproves this in many ways: First, it's not afraid to show more light-hearted fare; Buffy and Angel have taken some notes and incorporate some of the Charm-ier stuff in their storyline, but they're basically still darker shows. Second, it's a Spelling production. So expect a character's love problems to be dragged out longer than in other shows. Third, they don't have the budget or the know-how to effect more elaborate settings and actions like the other two. It's a show for people who like to take a break from the heavy stuff, which explains part of its popularity.
As to the episode itself, there's a lot of rehashed ideas involved in many scenes. Prue and Phoebe acting like children would be rehashed before in episodes like "That 70s Ep" and "P3H2O." Leo coming back to Piper has been done before in such episodes as "Awakened", "Murphy's Luck" and "Love Hurts." There are many more examples, but I can't remember them yet. This episode itself would be similar to the "Ladyhawk" episodes, in which what happens in the background has much more significance to what happens in the foreground. There's Cole scheming to get the BoS. There's Pheebs now getting desperate and wanting to date Cole, not knowing his true intentions yet. Then there's Prue morphing into the "middle sister", leaving behind the corporate persona she used to have in the first season and up to the middle of last season. I have this hunch that as long as Prue keeps changing the way she has that with her latter persona she could not possibly fall in love with someone like Andy. Andy was drawn to Prue by the way she carried herself back then, which was the "old" Prue. How would she react to the same old Andy? Something to think about.
I guess it makes some sense, being the month of Halloween, that a story involving fairies and trolls be told. Also, they're trying to appeal to both younger folk and folk like me with the same episode. I just don't know whether that kind of formula could work in the long run. Finally, I can't finish these thoughts without commenting on the new twist to this Leo/Piper love story. Huh?????????????? Can somebody help me as to what Piper might have said or done that made the Elders change their minds?
Other thoughts:
-So now Piper adds "babysitter" to her various job titles. Hehehe...LOL...:)
-"If you're happy and you know it...." Um, sorry. I was thinking about something else. :D
-So how many outfits has Alyssa worn to date? :)
Best Line:
Prue: Well...falling down the stairs made us sober.

- Thoughts after watching -- JJ Mindset, 17:07:50 10/13/00 Fri
Perhaps this episode could be named "Reality Strikes Back." This latest episode is the sudden knock-down of the Charmed Ones from the highest perches possible. All of Season 2 could be considered the Year that the Charmed Ones Came to Be The Most Feared Good Gals In The Land. Or something like that. Hehehe. Now as we get into Season 3, those days have come to an end. Their enemies are re-doubling their efforts to defeat them. The Council are the ones who are going to go after the Charmed Ones first. They're the organization that sent the evil genie after the Charmed Ones. The Source is the one who sent that creepy fellow who cursed that guy into an owl and also the one who sent the 4 Horsemen. It seems that the Council are more serious about defeating the Charmed Ones than the Source, who are more decided in trying to conquer the world than go after witches. In time, they'll go after the Charmed Ones in spades as well.
So, the tables are being set for what may come for the rest of the season. The Council gets a head-start on the Source with Cole. However, the Source will not allow the Council to have the glory of defeating the Charmed Ones. Certainly not after seeing one of their bosses(that is the judge in "The Honeymoon's Over") get creamed by Cole. This is going to be exciting, assuming that the writers follow up on what they've been able to do so far. The interruption of the handfasting ritual was THE signal of the end of the "Pax Halliwell"
Now to the episode itself...not something to write home about. There was too much redundancy in the Charmed Ones getting all ga-ga over the site of a man at the front door. First, it was Dan. Now this guy. The woman's acting is forgettable; and that's the best thing I could say. However, the thing that interested me the most about "Magic Hour" is the concept of "handfasting". How did the writers came up with that idea?? Do books on witchcraft and wicca even mention handfasting? Perhaps it's another creative borrowing of an actual witchcraft ritual. Maybe Trish Telesco could help me on this one.
I read a comment in which this person said that Phoebe was quite unrecognizable in "Magic Hour" because she was afraid to take risks and she was often willing to take risks. Maybe there's a point, but I tend to disagree with that assessment. Pheebes is showing great concern that Piper's behavior is tearing apart a powerful team. In an ironic twist, Phoebe is doing here what Prue used to do in situations similar to this. It also fits a pattern in which all three are going through some slow internal changes, whose origins could be traced to the final six or seven eps of Season 2. If you can remember, Prue stopped being so corporate and started to explore some of what both excites and bothers her. Piper has been doubting her place in the group and started thinking about the direction of her relationship with Leo. Pheebs has started to make changes in her life outside the Charmed Ones, which indirectly impacts her view of life in general.
Which could explain why Grams came in at the time she did. I'm not going to explain how the writers came up with the idea that the Elders can't see what's going on while there's a solar eclipse. Perhaps they wanted to show that the Charmed Ones(and witches before them) were wrong and that the Elders did have the ability to watch them at all times. It was a weird way of showing it, though.
Other thoughts:
-So what happens to Leo? Is he being held hostage?
-Finally, an archrival in Cole.
-After watching previews for next week's ep, I get the feeling that they're going to ream Piper a new one. All of a sudden, she not only had to babysit Prue during "Be Careful What You Witch For" but not she could babysit both her sisters. How convenient...:eek:
Best Line:
Phoebe: If you wanted a supernatural Lo-Jack you came to the wrong witch.

- Thoughts after watching -- JJ Mindset, 01:50:55 10/06/00 Fri
A promising start to the new season!!!! It's becoming evident that the writers are no longer content with bringing up the usual stuff we've accostomed to seeing from 'Charmed'. First, they've decided that they're going to incorporate some of the attitude that's shown on other shows like 'Buffy', 'Dark Angel' and movies like "The Matrix" into the show. So far, Prue is now organizating the actions against their enemies. Nothing wrong with sisterly group hugs on certain occasions, but not too much when faced with unreal odds. I liked that Prue stopped Phoebe from holding her hand as she was going to break open those doors in the courtroom.
Phoebe's new power makes total sense here. The reason is that now that the enemies understand how the Power of Three works, they'll have to work on each witch individually. As long as Phoebe continues to have only the precognitive power, it's only a matter of time before some enemy figures out how to separate the Halliwells, isolating Phoebe from her two sisters like a baby gazelle is isolated from the pack by a pride of lions. Hence, the power to levitate is given to her by the higher powers. Now the focus of physical and combative weakness falls on Piper. Piper's personal problems will only exacerbate that even further, as she struggles to figure out how to best proceed on her relationship with Leo. The fascinating thing about it is that this could re-inforce her doubts about staying within the Power of Three, which also could foreshadow a vicious demon attack that could paralyze Piper, perhaps around episode 14 or so. Now that Pheebs has her active power, the speculation would be whether Piper will have a second power, one of her sisters gets a third power or that there won't be any new powers in the near future.
The mythology is going to be established regarding Cole. From the previews I've seen for next week's episode, I may not like how they're going to explain Cole's presence even further. Can we really believe a story about how he could change into animal form and back? Let's hope I'm wrong on this one.
Other thoughts:
-Darryl, welcome to the group of believers.
-It looks Phoebe's new power trigger is the flight or fight reaction. :)
-What do you think of Cole being Phoebe's love interest?
-Just as I thought, they may not end up married this season.
Best Line:
Phoebe: I told you that you don't try that active power on me until I try an active power on you, Prue.

- Some movie commercial I watched last night(slightly related) -- JJ Mindset, 03:48:32 09/10/00 Sun
Here's the deal. I was spending Saturday night at home, wasting away on the couch. The commercial for the movie Blair Witch 2 comes on. I noticed that they had a subtitle called "Book of Shadows". Perhaps the producers of Charmed do not have the trademark to "Book of Shadows". However, I am almost sure that the Book of Shadows refers to an ancient text in Witchcraft or Magick. If anyone can confirm this for me I will appreciate it.
It got to me because I tend to think that the producers would make sure that "B.O.S" became a trademarked idea. Oh well...

- Charmed got great reviews from my Strategic Management professor.(Seriously. Read on) -- JJ Mindset, 18:43:07 09/18/00 Mon
Here's the thing. I am expecting to do some reports having to do with analysis and recommendations for the companies I'll be writing about. So the professor gave the class copies of a Sample Report, that is, what he would like to see from the class, according to plan. Guess what the Sample Report was about? It's about Viacom, the owner of Spelling Production, which is the producer of 'Charmed.' It gets even better!!!! On one of the paragraphs, titled "Identify Opportunities and Strengths", Charmed gets an honorable mention. OK. Now that I whetted your appetites, here's the excerpt:
Viacom has many assets that can provide a steady
stream of income. With the acquisition of
Paramount, Viacom obtained its library of old
movies and TV shows. Viacom now owns many successful
syndicated shows such as Star Trek,
CHARMED, and Frasier just to name
a few. The re-run of these shows should help
Viacom's cash position in the short run....
Hey!! To me that's a thumbs up from the professor!!! Hehe...LOL...:)
~Mindset~
P.S. I know some of you don't like me mentioning Frasier, but you got to accept credit where credit's due. :)

- What we may be seeing for next season... -- JJ Mindset, 04:33:13 08/20/00 Sun
I just read an article from Cinescape. GACT posted it on the SafeSearching board. Here's the article:
[[[Though its heroines face the same kind of paranormal foes that plague Buffy, Angel and "Spooky" Mulder, the WB series Charmed has never tied its storylines together with the kind of dense mythology that Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The X-Files are known for.
Until now, that is.
"We have been slow to create a mythology because we didn't want the mythology to drive this car. It's the sisters and their relationships that drive it. We're a show about three sisters who happen to be witches, not three witches who happen to be sisters," says executive producer Brad Kern. "But as we go into our third season, it becomes easier because the girls are well established. So we can begin to peel the curtain back on a mythology."
In the first two seasons of the series, fans watched the Halliwell sisters defeat one demonic threat after another. In season three, Kern says, the meaning of all those supernatural menaces and mishaps will all be made clear.
"At the end of the last season, we revealed that there was an organization behind the evil attacks over the first two years. It wasn't just random. And we're going to begin to put that organization into focus this year," Kern reveals. "The sisters are aware of it, so they're going to be preparing because they don't know what it really is and what it really means. But they do know it's not good."
But even though many of the Halliwells' enemies of the last two years were the pawns of a newly revealed conspiracy, that doesn't mean any of them will be back for a rematch.
"That's something that Buffy does a lot, obviously. But that's not going to happen a lot [on Charmed]," Kern says. "We like to think that once we've vanquished a demon, they're gone."
Instead , Kern and his writing staff will focus on creating new friends and foes - and at least one character who might be a little of both.
"We're going to be introducing a new male character. He's a soldier of fortune who's going to present an interesting challenge to the sisters," Kern says. "I don't want to say too much about him except my favorite way of describing him: There's a new cat in town."]]]
OK. Having learned of that, I have to say that I'm impressed by how Brad Kern was able to slowly introduce us to the character, although I wished he didn't have to make us wait that long.
Now as to what may happen next year, it will be interesting to see whether the creative people will avoid as much comparison to other currents shows with supernatural themes(Angel, BtVS, Roswell) or will it not matter so much. Up to now, Charmed as thouroughly entertained their target audience, which is young females between 13 and 39. Brad has explained some the reasons for the show's popularity. However, he knows that there's a sizable group amongst the same fans that want the show to become one of the cultural icons of TV history. This same group of fans are waiting for season 3 to be the make-it-or-break-it season in terms of long-term popularity of the show. In other words, Charmed should be up there with M*A*S*H, the A-Team, All in The Family, Happy Days and other memorable shows.
Now to what we may see next season, here are my predictions:
1) There won't be any more near-death situations, since the Charmed Ones will be stronger and they'll use what they've learned to continue to be one step ahead of their enemies.
2) There's going to be a theme about how they will going to be depended on to defend witchcraft itself as their enemies will use more refined tactics against them.
3) Piper will come at a crossroads when she finds out that Leo and her getting closer and solidifying their relationship gets even more difficult as it's evident that the Source(or whoever the organization is)has been able to disrupt the Charmed Ones unity somewhat.
4) Grams will make more appearances as the Charmed Ones begin to understand the metaphysical aspects of their calling.
5) Phoebe's new power would be something permanent of what she had during "She's A Man..."
6) Prue will change jobs again. I don't know which new job she will have.
7) Phoebe will drop out of college to dedicate herself more to the demon butt-kicking.
