Forever Charmed

Well, looks like after 8 seasons the Charmed ones will finally get the rest they deserve. Come to think about it, I was not such a big fan of the show when it first came out. I didn't pay much attention to the series and thought of it more as a show with a boring story line. I remembered that I was not so hooked on the series, just watched about an episode or two a month, without actually following the whole series.

I only became hooked on the series when Phoebe started falling in love with a demon, Cole, who was Belthazor. Now, I'm not one for all that lovey dovey plot, but Cole was a cool character that I liked. The one demon who was supposed to be good. The one demon who became the Source, which was the evil of all evil. It was a great plot when they decided that Phoebe would be married to the Source and together give birth to an offspring, who would rule Earth. Sounds like the prophecy of the anti-Christ. It was sad that he had to be killed off.

Now after 8 years, and a slight change in the cast, when Shannen Doherty left in at the end of Season 3. It actually came as a shock to the fans, I for one did not pay much attention at that time. It was then when I started to watch the previous seasons that I managed to catch up to the time line. If I recall correctly, I started to become hooked on Charmed in Season 4. It was kinda wierd not having Prue in the picture, when all the prophecy was leading that they were the three sisters who would be destined to be the Charmed ones. Who would've known, there was another. Paige, the half sister. Interesting how the plot seems to change doesn't it?

In all fairness, the season finale for Charmed in Season 8 gave a proper send-off for all the characters. Prue was mentioned in the episode. All the family members of the cast came back. Penny Halliwell (Grams), Patty Halliwell, future Wyatt and Chris (Piper's sons) were all brought back to the final episode. There was also a future version of Piper and Leo, who were pictured to grow old together having grandchildren of their own. The final part of the episode showed the sisters writting down their experience and living their lives like everyone else. Phoebe marries Coop the Cupid and has 3 daughters all together and continues with her work as a columnist. Paige who's married to Henry also has 3 children of her own, a pair of twin daughters and a son named after her husband, Henry Jr. Every character is given a proper send off.
