That is actually awesome and might be un purpose

I think one of the best directed moments of the show was the kitchen scene at the beginning with Darryl, Leo and the sisters. At this point viewers probably thought all five were familiar with each other and their ‘secret’ so this moment was not only an introduction to the b-plot but a beautifully shot, surprise moment of Darryl’s perplexed look at Leo and Leo looking at Darryl confused as if he though Darryl knew he was a Whitelighter already. The brief, subtle musical score of that scene was awesomely paired with Prue turning around with anticipation and concern for Darryl’s reaction. That scene and the scene at the end of Leo healing his blindness had a warm tingle moment to it. The shot of Prue and Pheobe looking at Darryl symbolized how part of the family Darryl became for them. I love that b-plot.

Agree with everything you've said. Daryl actually feels like a part of the family as opposed to later seasons of them being an asshole to him. Especially love the tender moment at the end. "happy Halloween"

Cole really acted his ass off through that mask in the apple peel scene. Definitely emoted through his eyes so well ❤ I was rooting for them! lol

Piper using the Glinda star wand to channel her power instead of using her regular freezing hand motion is great.

One of the reasons I love Season 3 is for the season’s awesome foreshadowing and storytelling. The cheeky play on words with Micah and Mitch and Piper inadvertenly foreshadowing or solving the mystery of Cole by saying “I think it was the guy who flirted with Phoebe at the party” who tried to destroy their wiccan line. Too bad Micah(or Sean) was a one-episode wonder and couldn’t end up with Prue in the end.

I remember one of the Charmed writers (Nell Scovell I believe) said years later that there was supposed to be something with Prue and Mitch and the Virginia town from AHE, but because Prue was killed, the plot points were dropped. Maybe he was supposed to be her Mr. Right post Andy. It also would have been nice if we had seen the Charmed Ones regain some of that ancient magic methods the coven taught them.

Time travel, as a rule, distances the characters from their "everyday" troubles. While those "mundane" problems can make characters more relatible, they sometimes get in the way of pure fun. They actually reused some of the ancient knowledge in later episodes. And became more selfconfident in forging their own magic going forward as well..

Ooh what an introduction ^_^

Probably my favourite episode of charmed!

This episode is a masterpiece, while flawed. Sisters being without powers and basically learning "old-style" magic is great idea. While they get knowledge of magic 101, their magical shield with Phoebe's ruse was sheer perfection. It shows the strenght of each sister and how are they able to think quickly on their feet. It ties to Cole's arc. While I think it rather ridiculous to have apple slice form the letter C (I mean, how variety can you get), I like the idea. Him giving up or roasting Ruth was fantastic. The main problem fór her as an antagonist is that she does not really get a rivarly with any of the protagonists. I think it would be better for her to actually name Eve as a problem or something instead of being vague. What I would like from this episode: motivations on the guy who helps them. I think that all we get is "he fancies Prue and that is it". I think it would be better for them to tie him instead to the coven, perhaps making him Eve's (boy)friend or a brother. Or simply making him a person who coven helped beforehand. It is dumb for him to simply have hots for Prue and dying offsceen. Giving us more information on Eve's and Charlotte's relationship and explaining how did Charlotte end up in villain's possesion. Charlotte is a bit bland. I understand they only can do so much but survival of her and her baby is the goal of the mission. You need to make viewers more invested in her.

@BetterWithBob

8 ай бұрын

He actually says that he tries to save as many witches as possible. He doesn't just save them because he has the hots for Prue. We can infer that he doesn't like seeing innocent people being killed, and most young guys have a white knight complex anyway so...

I actually love season 8's Halloween episode! It has it all! Piper being amazing and hilarious, Paige having her solo storyline turning into a ghost trying to scare the journalist and Billie with the mystery around her sister's kidnapping.

I absolutely enjoyed this episode whenever it came on tv when I was a kid definitely one of the best episodes in the series 😊🎃👻🧙‍♀️

Speaking of time travel in Charmed - did anyone else find it annoying how still in season 7 and 8 and whenever they travelled through time, they were so unsure how it works and surprised by everything? (Like when Piper talks to adult Wyatt or when Phoebe talks to her future self - they ask such dumb questions that even someone who never travelled through time wouldn't ask. But they did! Several times!)

@BetterWithBob

Well, when Phoebe talks to her future self, she's asking because when she went to the future, she assumed the body of her future self rather than existing separately

Great review, as for usual. Some remark that I tought was quite popular from this episode: In the scene with Phoebe and Cole with the apple peel spelling out a "C", it did turn out that it was a correct prediction. The name of Phoebes end love intrest did end up starting ith a C, as in Coop, not Cole. I don't remember if this ended up being a lucky coincidence, or if this was taken into account for naming Coops character

Ah Prue's "Witch of Nature" costume is *gorgeous,* and Cole as an angel is enjoyably ironic. 🦋😇 Following your announcement of this anatomy, the episode title made me start wondering if that was a reasoning for the sisters' surname: Halliwell, it sounds like Hallow/Halloween, so an appropriate name for a witch family. 😆🎃 14:25 And let's not forget the S5 guest-star of Tobin Bell, the then-future Jigsaw, in The Eyes Have It! 👏 Also: I found out recently that Pluto TV offers the entire Charmed series for free online, occasionally inter-changing the two halves of the series, so I've *finally* been able to re-visit episodes that I wanted to so badly from your Anatomy series in S1-4, like Chick Flick, Miss Hellfire, and A Knight to Remember. 🥰 *Also* also, I appreciate the small callbacks to your Fashion of Charmed video (which I love), like referring to Piper as being "the Kate Jackson of the group." 😉 Plus, I'm currently in-season wearing yellow green "Casting My Spell on You" Halloween witch shirt and my new blue Halloween leggings decorated with bats and the full moon night sky. 🌕🦇

8:00 -- "the only reason" ? I thought it got slapped with the R rating because two male characters tried raping two female characters during two separate scenes, one of the girls then killed one of the attempted rapists, the whole knife fight at the end, and the gruesome murder of the creepy guy at the start of the film. I don't think the fact it was teenagers dabbling in and of itself that made the film Rated R.

I think it’d be interesting, if you made a video about, what you would change about the earlier seasons of Charmed, so that they aren’t stand alone episodes anymore, and there’s a storyline through each season like the later seasons.
