If we could have gotten one Christmas episode of Charmed...

I had written out a whole explanation for this poll and the different options and then lost all the changes I made...

Basically each of these episodes aired in November/December before the break, so I figured these would've/could've been the season's Christmas episode. If so, I included which characters could be in these episodes based on the episode itself as well as main/recurring/guest stars of the season.

Obviously the plots for these episodes would be different if they'd been a Christmas episode, so it's more about choosing which season/episode you'd have enjoyed as a Christmas episode based on the vibes of each season and the characters that might have been in them that I listed below the cut.

*There was also a planned Christmas episode for season 4 ("Home for the Halliwells") that was supposed to happen which you can read about here and here.

the difference in phoebe and prue's reaction to daddy coming home....................it's so heartbreaking because they both have severe abandonment/attachment issues but they present so differently. prue was old enough to remember having a mother and father who loved her--and she was old enough to remember losing them. her mother's death, and then her father's betrayal after that when he left rather than fighting for her or her sisters.

she is angry, because her mother was stolen from her and her father chose to leave, and she hates him for it, even if deep down she loves and misses him and wants to be able to trust him again.

for phoebe, on the other hand, it's a chance for getting something she never had to begin with--she was too young to form true memories of either of her parents before she lost them, and so what she has is this hole in her life she's been desperate to fill. the way her face falls when victor calls her piper at first is so painful because she's like 22 and experiencing disappointment from her father for the first time. she wanted to believe he needed to see and know her just as badly, and him not recognizing her (despite not having seen her since she was a baby) is a blow that is only further compounded by having a vision of him seemingly betraying her and her sisters.

yet even then, she's eager to find an alternate explanation. to believe that her father wants to be in her life. to accept and love him, while prue is so incredibly reluctant because she knows what it's like to lose her father and she refuses to let herself go through that crushing disappointment again.

phoebe reacts to her issues with abandonment by clinging tightly and desperately to everything and everyone around her. prue reacts by trying to shut everything else out and focus on what she can control so she won't be hurt. they mirror each other and i think part of why they have such a hard time getting along is that they are so similar and neither of them wants to admit it.

The ask prompts ask number who knows what I’ve already lost count:

victor and henry sr bonding as mortals in a magical family

Pairing: Victor Bennett & Henry Mitchell

Background Pairing: Paige Matthews/Henry Mitchell, Victor Bennett & Paige Matthews

Walking into the living room, Victor immediately realized what the problem was. Henry had his face buried in his hands and was perfectly still, a posture that Victor more than recognized from his early years.

Settling into the armchair opposite of his son-in-law, Victor waited. Henry finally looked up, something wild in his eyes.

"I traveled to the future."

Okay, so that one wasn't exactly in Victor's expertise. He'd seen the effects of time travel a few times: a time loop tormenting his daughter, his grandson making a desperate bid to save his family and world, and even his dead ex-wife visiting him. He'd never once gotten caught in any of that himself, however, which was probably preferable. While his daughters and grandchildren had (would?) knew the dangers of meddling in time, Victor had a list of regrets that he knew he'd never be able to resist fixing if given the opportunity. Being there for his daughters. Sparing them the trauma of demons preying on their trust and betraying them. Finding Paige two decades earlier. Saving Patty and Prue from dying so young.

Unaware of Victor's thoughts, Henry continued, "Paige and I were talking about raising kids with magic, and Wyatt-"

"Sent you to the future to see what it'd be like," Victor finished. Piper had warned him about being careful what he said in front of his oldest grandson until Wyatt was old enough to better understand his powers. He hadn't gotten the full details of the problems that'd caused, but he knew it'd happened more than once.

Henry nodded and rasped out, "We had twins. Charlotte and Penny. One of them moved all of our living furniture with her mind. The other one accidentally cheated on her science test by seeing the answers in a vision."

Henry buried his face in his hands again and mumbled, "I don't know how to do this."

Victor shuffled over and patted Henry on the back. "Magic is... not easy to deal with. You'll never fully understand it and never fully be a part of this world. Some people can handle that. Some people can't."

If he'd known before he'd married Patty, he doesn't know if he'd had gone through with it. Magic was... terrifying. He had no way of protecting his family, could only watch and hope that they'd be able to save themselves. But life without his girls, even with magic, was one that he didn't want to imagine.

"I love Paige," Henry argued, lifting his head. "It's not just the magic. I'm not- I grew up in the system, I don't-"

That was something that he had more experience with. Well. More of a "what not to do" type of experience. "Parenting is hard. Parenting witches is even harder, especially as a mortal. Now, I didn't do that great of a job of it, but you're not the person I was. More than anything, the thing is being there. You'll make mistakes. There's no getting around it, but being there and trying to fix them are the most important part of being a parent. And from what my girls have told me, including Paige, you're not the type to run when it gets hard, Henry."

Henry had a faint smile as he met Victor's gaze. "Not when it comes to Paige. I love her."

"Is that so?" Paige leaned against the doorway as both men turned to look at her. She smiled, eyes soft. "Good thing I love you, too."

She held her hand out to her husband. "Wyatt wanted to apologize for the magical journey, and I think Phoebe wanted to pry some future information out of you."

Henry rose and took her head with a wry shake of his head. "I don't know if that's how it works."

"I'll distract her for you two," Victor promised. He needed to go find his third daughter anyways, find out about this Coop fellow.

Funniest Charmed moment:

Victor visiting Piper only to find out that his daughter is heavily pregnant with a baby she conceived with her ex while he was dying, and is currently walking around as a 22 year old.

[annairaleigh]

If it's true that Victor and Gram's fought because he wanted the girls to grow up mortal and he left because she said he couldn't parent witches. Just for her to turn around and bind their powers a couple years later and intend to have them bound even as adult women. Then damn.

I know Penny's story is that she's been hurt and scorned by men to become bitter af but hello? That's a little more than following that track.

Day 5 of #Prueweek2024 - Favourite Family Prue Relationship

Ngl, this is the most difficult part of #prueweek2024 for me. All the family dynamics and how they influenced Prue to become the person she was are dear to me.

I find it fascinating to think about how Penny instilled the responsibility of taking care of her sisters in Prue, so she could be sure that there was a strong-willed, go-getter demon fighter witch as the head of the family, much like Penny herself.

I also like to think about how Patty (and her death) had an influence on Prue's ability to express love to her family, friends and lovers.

And I can talk forever about how Victor influenced Prue's behaviour towards potential love interests (her hyperindependence, her need for stability and more importantly, reliablity in her partners, the way she takes steps back from any potential relationship the moment they seem untrustworthy like Andy with his ex wife and his reaction to her confession).

And last but not least, her sisters, Piper and Phoebe. Piper is Prue's rock, much more than Prue is Piper's. She is her confidante, the shoulder she leans and cries on when everything, all the (self-imposed) responsibilities become too much. And Phoebe is the person who challenges and inspires her. She is equally strong-willed and headstrong as Prue, but more unafraid to take what she wants, something Prue both envies and admires her for.

There's definitely something to be said about all family dynamics having the potential to be fan favourites. My favourite is and always will be

Prue x family.

I don't understand why charmed tried to push patty having an affair on us when we say that patty and victor were over way before phoebe was thought of. It feels like a way to make victor more sympathetic and like a victim along with penny driving him away. Nobody would've liked victor if they kept the victor from season 1 and didn't reshape him

1x03 - Thank You For Not Morphing

Stubbornly rating Charmed secondary characters as I rewatch.

Aw, man, this episode was so bad. The bad guys were so unbelievably incompetent. The acting was awful all around. Please be better, Charmed, I'm begging you.

Andy Trudeau. 5/10. He was almost a normal person in this one. Points added for dropping off Prue when he felt she needed to confront her father, no questions asked. It's almost as if he wants me to forget that he's a stalker.

Marshall, Fritz, and Cinda. 1/10. I had to give them 1 point because they bought the house. It couldn't have been cheap. Still, I can't believe these antagonists are all so frakking stupid. Jeremy and Javna were both bad, but this is completely another level of incompetence. It's like you can be a demon or a warlock only if you you pass a stupidity test and you have a death wish.

Victor Bennet. 3/10, mostly because of the general creepiness. I could have accepted the storyline with the father, and I did appreciate the ending of the episode to some degree, but he felt a bit yucky. Just... stay away.

Leo Wyatt. ?/10. I am looking respectfully, and waiting.
