TV Shows. Charmed is a television show about three sisters who reunite and unlock their powers to become the Charmed Ones - the most powerful good witches of all time to exist.
Now they must vanquish evil and save innocents while living their live… more ». More Charmed , Season 6 quotes » Edit Buy. Paige: What kind of whitelighter can't heal? Chris: For the record, you can't heal either. Chris: Because you didn't hire me. I was assigned by the elders. Phoebe: Any other little surprises you'd like to share with us?
However, the show already depicted Paige being a few years old in , when her sister Phoebe was born. These sorts of continuity errors are usually avoided when the creators of television shows pen a "series Bible"-- a reference book used to tell writers new to the series everything they could ever want to know about the show. Perhaps in this case it would be better to create a series Book of Shadows.
The beloved character of Prue Halliwell lost her life in the finale of the show's third season. She never again appeared on the show, in any form. If something like this happened in Grey's Anatomy , it would be understandable, but the Halliwell sisters communicate with the deceased on a regular basis and often travel through time.
You'd expect the remaining Halliwells to try to reach their departed sister at least once. Fans of the series know that the creative decision to remove Prue from the remainder of the show was rooted in the fact that the actress who played Prue, Shannen Doherty, left the series was unwilling to return to the series under any circumstances. Even scientists and physicists who believe that travel between universes could be on the horizon have wildly differing opinions on how exactly it would work.
Until someone actually builds a functioning dimensional portal, it's up to writers of fiction to determine how inter-dimensional travel will work in the worlds that they create.
However, that does not mean that the writers of Charmed couldn't have gone the extra mile to make their inter-dimensional travel rules consistent. Usually, when the Halliwells venture into another reality, they adopt the powers that they have in their parallel universes. Yet, when Paige enters a reality where she never became a witch, she lacks her Whitelighter powers although she's still a Whitelighter - the show's version of a guardian angel.
One episode of the series revolves around Paige being imprisoned. That's a fine idea for an episode of another series or about another character, but Paige Halliwell has the ability to create spells to help herself out of sticky situations. Why didn't she just bust herself out of prison? Some fans have speculated that Paige was unable to get herself out of jail because the cell she was in was enchanted in some way to prevent her from leaving.
If that was the case, the show's writers could have made that clear, lest they drive legions of fans to go to forums to complain. For all we know, Paige was just feeling lazy that day. If fictional characters always acted rationally and intelligently, there would be no such thing as drama. Some internet film and television critics decry every misstep taken by a fictional characters as a plot hole, and that's just silly.
At the same time, writers shouldn't allow their characters to act unbelievably stupid; that's just uninspired writing. Case in point: the Underworld could have eliminated the Halliwells, but didn't. The denizens of the Underworld have the ability to teleport, but for some unexplained reason they never bother to just enter the Charmed One's house and put an end to them.
If only they had watched the second Austin Powers movie, they would've known that the best thing a villain can do when they have access to time travel is to go back in time and defeat your enemy while they're still in diapers.
The Underworld is ruled by a figure known as The Source of All Evil, which has to be the most ominous, ridiculous, and ridiculously ominous job title imaginable. How exactly does one become The Source of All Evil? Surely, there are thousands, if not millions, of Goth and emo teenagers who would love to apply for that job.
Sadly, the show doesn't provide us with any consistent rules about how one becomes The Source. In season four, characters say that one must touch the magical book known as the Grimoire to become The Source, but later Barbas claims that he can become the Source simply by using his powers.
The show establishes that good witches do not use their magic for selfish purposes, and if they do, they will face supernatural repercussions. Of course, such a rule puts limits on what the show's writers can and cannot do with their characters, so they seemingly ignored their rule when it became inconvenient.
In a humorous moment, Phoebe transforms a rival advice columnist into a turkey, recalling a running gag from an earlier television show about the trials and tribulations of being a witch - Bewitched. While the joke worked as a cheap visual gag, Phoebe never faced any magical repercussions for her misdeed. Perhaps the universe just wasn't paying close attention that day.
While the show's supernatural elements recall the movie Practical Magic , the show's time travel episodes seemed derived from the Back to the Future trilogy. More specifically, the show seemingly borrowed the idea that if someone changes a timeline, it might lead people to fade into oblivion. In the show's fourth season, Pier travels through time to prevent Phoebe from saving Miles. Once her mission is accomplished, the other version of herself that Piper's time travel shenanigans created just fades away.
Somehow, in season eight, when time travel creates two Pipers they combine into one being. Paige recognizes him as her charge. Leo orbs back to the manor to get ready for the interviews. Paige helps Samuel back to his place, but Samuel doesn't want anything to do with Paige. Paige gives her phone number to Samuel. Samuel then surprises Paige by revealing that he is a former Whitelighter and is not happy that the Elders tracked him down or that they sent a novice Whitelighter to find him.
However, Paige refuses to leave. A Darklighter, Ronan, orbs in and conjures his crossbow, but Paige shoves him out of the way. The Darklighter recovers and gets Samuel in his sights again. Piper and Leo are interviewing an elf. The interview seems to be going well, but the elf, knowing that Piper is a Charmed One, is concerned she may have to protect the baby from demons. Just as Piper tries to reassure her, Paige orbs Samuel back to the manor and Ronan black-orbs after them.
He shoots, wounding Samuel. Piper blows off one of the Darklighter's arms. Ronan black-orbs away. The elf huffily fades out. Sam says he became a Whitelighter for a second time after dying in P3 H2O , but feels he blew it again. He admits that for years, he's felt guilty over having to give Paige up after she was born. Leo urges him not to walk away yet since the Elders sent Paige to help him.
Piper isn't happy that Leo knew this all along, but Leo was sworn to secrecy. Sam tries to leave, but Phoebe wants him to reconcile with Paige. Sam is angry that the Elders set him up, but Leo tells him that they had no choice. Once he stopped using his powers, the Elders could no longer sense him, and only a blood relative could find him.
Piper also wants Sam to reconcile with Paige, but Sam thinks he's a failure and orbs away. Unknown to everyone, Cole has been listening in the whole time. Paige comes back down; she couldn't find anything in the Book.
Leo says that Ronan is probably a Tracker, a type of Darklighter who goes after fallen Whitelighters. He's much more powerful than typical Darklighters. Piper and Leo want to find Sam, but Paige feels she should go after him since he's her charge.
Leo, however, thinks Paige won't be able to track Sam's orbs. He and Piper orb out. Cole tracks down Ronan and offers an alliance with him to kill the sisters. Ronan is sceptical until Cole heals his arm.
Cole wants to kill the sisters first, then go after Sam. Ronan wants Sam first, but Cole thinks that if they kill Paige, it will break Sam's spirit. He waves his hand in front of Ronan's face and grants him more powers. Sam orbs to his apartment to find Piper and Leo waiting for him. Sam is bitter over having to give up Paige, and thinks he'd have lost her again once she found out she was a Charmed One. Leo and Piper try to encourage him, telling him that it's entirely possible the Elders brought them together so Paige could learn where she came from.
Paige tries to get Phoebe to tell her more about Sam. Phoebe is initially reticent with details, only saying that Paige might learn something from him like how not to judge people as fast as she's judged her recent dates. Paige doesn't see the connection.
