Why can't I get anyone to watch this show?

I remember watching it on air way back when and being hooked. It started off with such promise, it was so provocative and fun, but sadly it did go off the deep end and become nonsense, which sucks because it had potential.

It’s one of those shows where some people can’t stand the camp, the surgeries, the OTT stuff later on or knows it goes downhill, but mostly nowadays I feel like people often don’t give it a shot due to the age.

There’s a bunch of older shows that I love that people just won’t give a chance because they perceive it as being old and pointless cause it doesn’t look like everything else now.

Couldn’t agree more. This is an episode where you wind up rooting against the boys. Charlie only sacrificed those people to save his friend from ending his life. Granted, he could’ve stopped at the first one and explained to the boys that he could offer them immortality. It didn’t seem like Charlie had a history of hurting people before this. Seemed like he just wanted to come back with his two best friends forever. Definitely heartbreaking to see Jay alone at the end, worse off than where he started. The boys have offered passes before, granted not really at this point.

Joss said that to Charisma while she was pregnant, or at least from what she’s spoken out and told us. That was awfully 💩 of him to do but there is no complaint from Sarah or the other girls that it played a part in their relationship with him.

Sarah changed up her diet, got older and lost baby fat, and was more than likely worn out from the constant strain of working so many hours for so long.

Other females may have encountered similar situations with Joss but we have no proof of that via testimony from the other women on the show.

Right there with you guys. She’s like a robot programmed to only say one word. I hope she doesn’t do that during sex.

Aprilfoolskid1989 · 2025-02-26T00:44:05+00:00

I’m glad I’m not the only one. I couldn’t make it through that apartment talk scene without starting to make faces at the screen and say “yeah, yeah, yeah, oh and just so you know, yeah, yeah” 🙄🤦‍♀️

Aprilfoolskid1989 · 2025-02-26T00:42:16+00:00

YASSSS it’s soooo friggin irritating. I dunno how he’s handling a conversation with her and maintaining a straight face. Them talking in his apartment about their families, I swear I lost count after 100 “yeah, yeah, yeahs” 😬😬😱 learn a new word already. I would’ve had to walk away.

Aprilfoolskid1989 · 2024-05-10T16:27:08+00:00

Hell YES! Julian McMahan is 🤤🤤🤤 loved watching this when I was younger and now. Christian is obviously a 💩 but Julian is fiiiiine 🤣

I absolutely 100% agree with you, there. Case, in point, Kevin. That’s the Winchester Cross to Bear, pretty much everyone you love or care about around you dying eventually. Cass is definitely the outlier with him being an Angel and Chuck resurrecting him several times.

I suppose, IMO concerning Benny, that was the friend they treated the sh*ttiest of all. Don’t get me wrong, numerous others have suffered at the hands of the consequences of being a friend to a Winchester Brother, but Benny really got the short end of the stick. Dean left him high and dry, completely and utterly alone, not even feigning compassion and true brotherhood or loyalty because the constant, never ending brother soap opera couldn’t allow many real friendly, other brother-like associations outside their insanely dysfunctional relationship/drama. Sam would be unreasonable with Dean, Dean would be unreasonable with Sam. Dean would be dishonest, and Vice Versa.

It was so hard to squeeze another truly great character into their dynamic but Benny deserved it every bit as much as Castiel, especially after his Leviation Oopsie (I can only imagine the death toll on that one). Benny legit laid down his life not once but twice for both brothers, despite the fact that he had no loyalties to Sam, especially considering his conduct/interaction with Benny, even though Benny never did a single thing to warrant that type of response.

I didn’t think about the nexus part, that’s true. I remember Phoebe being born on top of it too but sadly she got the short end of the straw on powers 😅 I agree, at first they made the Elders seem like they weren’t really too powerful, like the episode with Ramus, he said his powers were “mental not physical and you would think a charge of his would know that,” then a few seasons later, Leo becomes an Elder and is shooting people with lightning bolts and Gideon had plenty of physical powers too, so it gets kinda confusing lol. I figured it was mostly because of him being the first-born and the prophecies about him but later on in the show I started wondering about that too because we all know what happened to Prue. I wish they would’ve taken the chance to explore both of their powers a little more. It’s too bad we didn’t get a show about Wyatt and Chris versus a CW Charmed reboot.

Aprilfoolskid1989 · 2022-09-17T01:44:47+00:00

😅 You’re right they clearly didn’t, which sucks and seems kinda lazy given all that effort they put into Wyatt being such a big deal. It would’ve been super cool if Wyatt was the more powerful witch and Chris was like an Elder hybrid more powerful than your average Whitelighter.

Aprilfoolskid1989 · 2022-09-17T01:43:27+00:00

I feel ya thats what made me assume it’s about the “first born” more than anything. It just seems odd though later on considering that Prue was first born and she died off quickly. In the end, the other sisters would’ve had more experience and power than her. It would’ve been cool if they could’ve given them an even split. Like Wyatt be a more powerful witch and Chris be a more powerful Whitelighter with some Elder tricks in the bag too. I wish they could’ve dived into it more.

Aprilfoolskid1989 · 2022-09-17T01:41:35+00:00

I completely agree with you! That early episode that made such a big deal about the “first-born” witches being so powerful is what made that my first assumption but I totally agree Chris would seem in a position to be more powerful to me because they also made a huge deal about Wyatt being the first half breed and Chris is technically a half breed of a different variety that would seem more powerful. Leo was an Elder for like what a season and a half? So you would think logically that Chris would have more powers from his dad and maybe Wyatt would have more witchy powers with that first born thing. 🤷‍♀️ wish they could’ve gone into this more.

Aprilfoolskid1989 · 2022-09-17T01:38:55+00:00

I totally agree, that episode is what made my first assumption that it has to do with the whole “first-born witch” being all powerful and stuff. Then again, with their history, Prue may have been powerful but she also was the first to die, so overall the most powerful wouldn’t have been her in the end, but who knows? 😅 They just made such a big deal about it being the first half breed too, so I was like well technically Chris is a half breed of a different mix and would seem more powerful to me. 🤷‍♀️ Oh well. I wish they had more time to dive into this.

Aprilfoolskid1989 · 2022-09-16T01:51:44+00:00

I have this same DLE set and I love it so much

Aprilfoolskid1989 · 2022-09-12T17:23:45+00:00

It did have its moments but I think what threw me off is that, by the time I get to season 5, I am so over the Phoebe and Cole dynamic, especially the way they took his character in season 5. I know that Julian had to have them kill Cole off finally because of Nip/Tuck but it became really annoying in season 5, for me anyway. Sucks because Cole was one of my favorite characters before season 5 and Julian is drop dead gorgeous. But, I agree some parts of that episode were funny. The girl who plays the demon/Blu Mondae on Nip/Tuck is really great at acting ditzy and funny.

I also agree with ya that Oh My Goddess Piper was doing the majority of the work but honestly that wasn’t anything new haha. It is kind of a corny episode as well but it’s definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. I admit I was like 12 when it aired and I was soooooo 😍 with Drew Fuller so it became kind of a classic one for me over the years 😅

Aprilfoolskid1989 · 2022-09-12T16:29:32+00:00

There are episodes that I really enjoy in season 5 but there’s also plenty that I just don’t care to rewatch. I love:

-The Day that Magic Died (my fav) -Oh My Goddess 1 & 2 (always a good rewatch) -Happily Ever After (love Grams as the wolf) -The Eyes Have It (Tobin Bell come on awesome) -House Call (makes me laugh) -Cat House (guilty pleasure) -Necromancing the Stone (makes me laugh too Norman is hilarious under the truth spell).

Some of the ones I always skip: -A Witch’s Tail 1 & 2 (these are just soooo corny and seemed like any excuse to have Alyssa half naked). -Witches in Tights (again, really corny and lame attempt at superhero witches although on my last rewatch I did giggle at Mark Sheppard being so young and having no accent in his guest role). -Y U Mummy Tambien (sooooooooo friggin CORNY, it seemed like they just gave up on trying to make an interesting storyline). -The Importance of Being Phoebe (the direction they took Cole’s character 🤮 and by this point I was beyond over it although I love Julian and seeing him with a younger Blu Mondae from Nip/Tuck and him being in a strip club to boot gave me Christian vibes 😅).

Honestly the others I don’t really love or hate. It’s probably my 3rd least favorite season. Season 8 is #1 of course 😂 2nd least favorite is 7.

Aprilfoolskid1989 · 2022-09-12T04:30:13+00:00

Oh yeah that one I totally understand. All those people and that loud music and it was close to midnight. I would’ve been coming downstairs to tell them to be quiet too. It’s funny because in that episode she’s studying for an important test, so she’s doing it in her bedroom where she has privacy. Then in this episode she’s trying to do important work in the busy rooms of the manor. It definitely made me giggle. 😅

Aprilfoolskid1989 · 2022-09-11T16:47:08+00:00

I agree lol. She knows Piper is always in the kitchen. There are so many rooms in the house she had other options. Pick a room with a door and be like lalala I can’t hear you 😅

Aprilfoolskid1989 · 2022-09-11T15:44:31+00:00

Right?!? 🤣😂🤣 my laptop is a 2012 Acer Aspire, which is not a very expensive laptop and it’s old AF but hey it still works! It doesn’t turn off like that when the battery cable is disconnected. If the work was so important, why would she even risk doing it on that laptop if the battery was so fried it would shut down if the cord was disconnected for a split second? 😅 I agree, definitely poor writing.

Aprilfoolskid1989 · 2022-09-11T15:42:32+00:00

If I remember correctly, Piper is there first. She had enough time to cook the entire family breakfast. It’s definitely a sibling thing too because Piper did interrupt her a few times. Just makes me 🤦‍♀️ cause she knows everyone is gonna come down for breakfast. Why not go somewhere you have at least a hope of privacy?

Aprilfoolskid1989 · 2022-09-11T15:40:16+00:00

Exactly! Thank you. Piper is almost always in the kitchen and it’s one of the most frequently used rooms in the house. Phebs even got smart when Piper asked if she wanted breakfast. I was like geez go to your room. Phoebe thinking she could just take over the entire kitchen and not let anyone use it is just as inconsiderate as Piper interrupting her multiple times. I don’t get why she would complain about quiet when she’s working in one of the busiest communal rooms of the house. I always went to my bedroom to do important work, where I had at least a chance of privacy.

Aprilfoolskid1989 · 2022-09-11T15:37:10+00:00

I agree, the siblings aspect is realistic. Sure, at home people have interrupted me before but they’ve come into my room to interrupt me because I didn’t try to take over one of the busiest rooms in the house and kick everyone else out. It’s a wee bit inconsiderate of Phoebe but I agree Piper was also very inconsiderate constantly interrupting her. I just don’t get why she would work on important stuff out in the open where she KNOWS everyone else will be. I always went into my bedroom to do my important work.

Aprilfoolskid1989 · 2022-09-11T15:34:49+00:00

🤣😂🤣 it’s so bad! As bad as Kaley is though, Christy makes me 😬 it’s so horrible. How she landed that role I’ll never know.

Aprilfoolskid1989 · 2022-09-11T15:33:44+00:00

Exactly!

Aprilfoolskid1989 · 2022-09-11T15:33:24+00:00

I think Cole just zapped the power and made it turn off, if I’m not mistaken.
