Something Wicca This Way Comes; The very first episode of Charmed

Original Air Date: 7 October 1998

Summary
 
Phoebe returns to San Francisco after losing her job to live with her older sisters, Prue and Piper. During their first night together in their grandmother's house, Phoebe finds a book of witchcraft and recites an incantation that leaves the sisters three with powers they were destined to have.


I really think they could have done better with this episode to grab the viewer. I mean don't get me wrong, if you're the type of person who loves witches, fiction, and magic, then this will catch your eyes no doubt. But what of people who are switching through the channels and they pop up on charmed? I don't know, for me, it wasn't that grabbing.

When I first watched this episode, I fell in love with it, but a friend of mine didn't have the same feeling. I later watched the following epsidoes while he was watching VH1. :D

:O **dies** actual.... Charmed.... discussion? :D

Anyways... Believe it or not... this wasn't the first episode I watched. I didn't see this one until AFTER I was already hooked. :P

If i had seen this ep first, would I be as hooked as I am? Probably not.

Overall, it was an ok episode. Not the best, not the worst... but just ok.

What really sucks is for all the good times we had there, we can never go back to those days. As much as I wish it, this is Heaven and not MY Underworld. All we can do is have fun, and make new memories here...Rest in Peace Pheebs Underworld, we will never forget you.

Phew. I'm glad you actually agree with me. I know it was an okay episode. Just enough to get the ball rolling, but barely.

I skipped a lot of episodes after the first 5 or so episodes. I then got lost and stayed away from charmed for awhile. I eventually came back. :D

I rather liked the first episode of Charmed. I mean aside from me loving 2 of the cast members already, it was very interesting the way they made it. Very clean yet disturbing. The emotions were a bit lame, but with them being witches and all I couldn't say no.

8/10

*L* I got hooked at the END of Julian McMahon's run on the seres. (first ep I watched was Happily Ever After... Cole was vanquished 9 episodes later in the 100th episode.)

:O Did you ever watch Is There a Woogie in the House? :D That one is the BEST in season one. :D

Anyways, yeah. Thetre's only a few episodes in season one that I actually like. And they could have done better on this episode.

I just have to agree you guys on this. The first episode, hell the first season was bad. Like Phoebe said julian mcmahon made everything change. cole was the shizz.
Just as Phoebe is a Charmed fan... I am a Final Fantasy Fan. Final Fantasy XIII will be coming out soon. Rest assured I will be one of the first owners.

Know what, I was always hoping Phoebe would get back with Cole. I guess enough was enough for her. I still think of what the ending would've been like he she stayed with Cole.
