Season 6: Is It Worth It?, July 3, 2006
Season 6 is definately not the average Charmed fans' favorite season but it is definately not the worst of the 8. This season was pretty much up and down, with most of the bad episodes early in the season. There are however, some interesting plot points in this season. With the addition of Chris in the season 5 finale, we get to learn what he is really up to and if he is indeed someone looking out for the sisters or a new big bad.
The breakdown:
1 and 2. Valhalley Of The Dolls Parts 1 and 2 - With Leo missing, the sisters turn into Valkyries in order to save him.
3. Forget Me...Not - Wyatt conjures a dragon and it is loose in the city. The Cleaners also want to erase Wyatt from everyone's memory.
4. The Power Of Three Blondes - 3 blonde sisters want the Charmed One's identies. Pretty fun episode.
5. Love's A Witch - Paige stumbles upon a feud between two magical families and even finds love at the same time.
6. My Three Witches - Chris tries to teach the sisters a lesson.
7. Soul Survivor - Paige tries to save her boss's soul, even at the risk of losing her own.
8. Sword And The City - Piper pulls Excalibur out of its stone and consequences arise.
9. Little Monsters - The sisters become foster parents for a half demon baby, without Chris' approval.
10. Chris-Crossed - Bianca, a assassin from the future, arrives to try to take Chris' powers.
11. Witchstock - Paige is taken back in time where she encounters Grams, who was a hippie.
12. Prince Charmed - Phoebe and Paige conjure "Mr. Right" for Piper as a birthday present.
13. Used Karma - Phoebe is possessed by the spirit of Mata Hari.
14. The Legend Of Sleepy Halliwell - The sisters discover Magic School and must save it from the Headless Horseman.
15. I Dream Of Phoebe - Phoebe frees a genie from a bottle and becomes one herself.
16. The Courtship Of Wyatt's Father - Piper and Leo are trapped in the ghostly plane, with a darklighter on their tail.
17. Hyde School Reunion - Phoebe reverts back to her troublesome teenage self, as her high school reunion approaches.
18. Spin City - Piper is cocooned by the spider demon and Paige, Phoebe and Leo need to save her.
19. Crimes And Witch Demeanors - Darryl is on trial for murder and it is up to the sisters to save him.
20. A Wrong Day's Journey Into Right - Paige conjures up her own Mr. Right for personal pleasure but unbeknownst to her, releases his evil twin, Mr. Wrong.
21. Witch Wars - The sisters are on a demonic reality show, with them as the prey.
22 and 23. It's A Bad Bad Bad Bad World Parts 1 and 2 - Phoebe and Paige are transported to a parallel world where evil dominates everything.

Two weak episodes do not affect the rest., July 4, 2006
The season begins a few months after the events of Season 5. Leo is missing. Piper seems unaffected by this. Paige begins a series of temp jobs to get away from the magical world, and Phoebe develops a new power. Everyone wants to know what is up with Chris (a new White Lighter who first appeared in the Season 5 finale).
I commented that many fans did not like the cutesy fairytale elements of Season 5. It is 6 that introduced a character that only half the fans would like. Chris (Drew Fuller) just did not cut the bill. I liked Chris because they kept us guessing about his real intentions as he comes from the future, and Charmed always wonders how time travel will affect history.
I personally think Season 6 is one of the strongest. Only two episodes need to be revised. In "Witchstock," Paige puts on a pair of go-go boots and ends up in the late 1960s. Piper and Phoebe soon follow suit. They meet a younger version of their grandmother, and the details are all wrong. Grams (as the sisters call her) would be much older, and references to their mother's age are also wrong. In "Spin City," Chris becomes infected by a Spider Demon. One of his lines refers to the future, and it confused many fans because of details stated when he first appeared. (Time travel always provides for more continuity errors.) I can forgive "Spin City" because it is important to the plot. "Witchstock" is nothing more than filler, though they make a brief reference to it in Season 7 (otherwise, "Witchstock" is an episode with no real purpose).
This is the only season, in my opinion, that began strong ("Valhalla of the Dolls"), lost a little momentum with the two aforementioned episodes, then ended with just a little more strength than it began ("It's a Bad, Bad, Bad World").
NOTE:
Charmed gets mixed reviews from its fans. Several fans have divided the series into "Do you prefer Seasons 1-4 or Seasons 5-8?" Or it is "Do you prefer Prue (Shannen Doherty) or Paige (Rose McGowan)?" Can we not like the entire series without deciding between characters or seasons? I liked both Prue and Paige. I preferred Seasons 4-8 because they were darker and more mature. My advice to people new to Charmed is to view the entire series before they decide.

witchy time, July 5, 2006
This is the strongest and more mature season of charmed. No matter what half the fan world of charmed thinks of it. Every episode had completely entertained me. My favorite one is where Wyatt conquered a dragon from a tv.. Boy I thought jeez that kid is so flipping powerful. And the courtship of wyatt's father was another of my favorite. Where Piper finds out that Chris is actually her son Which we all found out in the episode where they found the magic school pheobe finally solved the mystery thank god. This show has grown and envolved. Charmed season 6 is totally worth to buy. I have seasons 1through 5 and it is the best show ever created. Deeply sadden by its end. Charmed season six is and always will be enchanting.
