"My Three Witches"

Description: "The Halliwell sisters attempt to escape magical alternate realities where their secret desires come true, after Chris uses the demon Gith to try to teach them a lesson. Meanwhile, Leo demands that the elders strip Chris of his whitelighter status."
 
This isn't the first time a demon has had the idea to send one or more of the Charmed Ones to an alternate reality, but opposed to last time they were in great danger. I wish the producers had explained more about Chris' involvement with Gith, because the viewers don't know whether the demon put the Halliwells into their alternate reality because he's evil or on Chris' orders. Chris said he was trying to teach the sisters a lesson, but I'm not sure if that was due to the first or second attack. Phoebe's alternate reality was interesting because she's an empath so she got Jason's idea of a perfect world. It's kind of sweet that Jason's idea of a perfect world is that Phoebe become famous and be happy. It seemed like Phoebe was really soaking up all the fame, power, and popularity until it started to get really creepy. That dude that was holding up the sign that said "Marry me, or die" needs to be either checked into a mental facility or arrested for planning a murder. He's crazy! I don't think Phoebe took him seriously at first, but she sure took notice when the crazy ass dude shot Jason! I couldn't help but tear up seeing Phoebe feel like it was all her fault. You can tell that Jason really loves Phoebe since he was willing to jump in front of a bullet to save her life. Paige's alternate reality was pretty interesting but not that big of a surprise. Paige has always been the most open to magic and the one wishing that they didn't always have to keep it a secret. I don't think she's going to be complaining so much anymore, now that she sees what it's really like when the whole world wants magical help from you. I believe that Piper and Phoebe understand this lesson a little better than Paige does, because they remember how it was when magic was revealed to the world last time, and they lost their big sister. The important thing is that Paige learned her lesson in the end and was able to save a little girl in the meantime. Speaking of Piper, her alternate reality wasn't that far of a stretch either. Ever since the girls found out they were witches, Piper has always been the one wishing she could just be a normal person again. I felt bad for her since she had to see Wyatt suffering and feel so helpless when she couldn't help him. Poor baby was crying, and then that idiot in the other car hit Piper and Wyatt. I wonder whatever happened to the dude in the other car? In the end, I was glad to see the sisters realize that a "perfect" world sounds great in theory, but the perfect world for them is the one they are already living in. "May the power of three set you free!" Keep reading and watching!

Peace, Love, and Charmed!
 
 
 
 

"Love's A Witch"

Description: "While on a temp job, Paige meets an attractive male witch named Richard and wants to help end the magical feud between his and another magical family. After she refuses Piper and Phoebe's help, she winds up possessed by the vengeful spirit of Richard's deceased fiance. Meanwhile, Leo is suspicious when Chris travels to the Underworld in search of a potion."
The Halliwells came across a generation old family feud that is mirrored right out of the pages of Shakespeare. The feud had been lasting so long that no one could quite remember how it started at all in the first place, and two love birds were unfortunately caught in the middle. Although the families were constantly fighting, but at times some of them were unsure about where the loyalties exactly laid. Paige is driving me crazy with this wanting to be independent from her sisters and do stuff by herself. Once before she went through this kick and realized that she can't always push them away, but obviously she didn't learn her lesson because she's back. I agree that sometimes Piper and Phoebe can be a little overbearing because they want to make sure Paige won't get hurt, but sometimes they can do with a little backing off. Each sister is independent in her own way, but when you're the power of three there are very few times that you can handle demonic things on your own. In this case it was a ghost that was terrorizing the families though, and I'm still not quite sure what her real intentions were. I never understood whether she was trying to get revenge for her death or trying to get peace amongst the families because she was sending quite some mixed messages. I get that Olivia and Richard were always neutral in the feud, but if she was so neutral how come you would attack both houses. Olivia knew that sending out energy balls would make them angry and warant an attack back, and somehow I think that was her plan along. Olivia seemed kind of crazy also bringing Richard to that casket with her bones and everything, but I'm glad that in the end she realized she needed to move on and what she had set out to do had been acoomplished. Poor Phoebe is still trying to get a hold of her new power, but as much as she tries to control it the more worse it seems to get. It was smart of Chris to think of the potion to shield Piper and Paige from unwanted emotion readings, but as you might have guessed he had another secret reason for wanting to take the potion, and it's obvious that Leo is not going to get off his butt until he finds out what Chris is up to. Speaking of Leo, it was so sad to see him watching Piper date again, and I can't help having my heart break right along with his. I seriously think the writers of this show have it out for me, or at least Leo since both times him and Piper were going through a big breakup not only did she have to go and date again, but Leo was forced to stay around and watch! Not fair! "May the power of three set you free!" Keep reading and watching!
Peace, Love, and Charmed!
