This is a thread for anyone who watches...or *sniff* watched Charmed...loved it and didn't think it would ever end! But alas, that day has come, been and gone and now we have no more Charmed! So come, pay your respects and feel more than free to chat about the final episode because I loved it!  |

It finished? I didn't even watch series 8, I heard it was a pile of donkey dung. How did it end?

They never actually got divorced, and asides from him getting stuck in valkyrie land he never actually really left Piper.
To be fairly honest if you saw the last one where Zankou is vanquished along with the rest of the manor, I'd leave it there because it was a much better finish to a much better season. Although this past season was good, it wasn't amazing and didn't really do the show's final season or episode justice.
They got their normal lives and that's all the entire season was about - them training up a replacement witch in Billie (Kaley Cuoco), who by the way doesn't know which side she's fighting on. I think they should have focused more on Chris and Wyatt and them learning to use their powers, and all the storylines had pretty much been covered in the first 7 seasons, they just repeated them with a new character!

Yeah, I agree that whilst bringing in new characters to SUPPORT the main works with final series, bringing in a new main character just to have one more series doesn't work. In fact I think they should have left it at the end of series 7 - it was a very conclusive episode: they got new, quieter lives, the house was tecnhically blown up, they concluded things, darryl knew they were ok... it was a finisher!

Exactly and whilst people wanted to know waht happened they coulda set the last series around them training Wyatt and Chris up or even Wyatt and Chris fighting together!

i thought that season 8 was one of its best...sure it did slightley bad with some people because they didnt like billie they were all concerned about wyatt and chris. but the show isnt abouot them at ALL its about sistership and that is exactley what made saeson 8 great it expressed the importance of sistership in christy and billlie and in the charmed ones...it was great and people should really get off the wyatt and chris band wagon. the final season should have been a test in the magic if charmed not their kids...and it was from the very beginning charmed was about there sistership and that was was tested at the end and that made it brilliant.

To be fairly honest the whole sisterhood thing has been tried, tested and conquered in probably half of every episode and it just became repetitive towards the end!
The whole point of more than 1 season is to come up with new stroylines and up till the end of season 7 they did that. In season 8 they were just remaking episodes and ideas they had already covered!!!
Plus with Billie and Christie, it was like Phoebe and Cole all over again, when he was the source with Phoebe trying to see the good in him and trying to both be good and evil at the same time. With Billie she wanted to be with her sister but also wanted to prove her wrong about the sisters, but wasn't able to with Christie whinging in her ear all the time. Don't get me wrong I love love love the show but they should have ended it with season 7!!!

I loved this season and despised the 3 before it - the only problem with it was Paige's rushed wedding. I thought it was a bit odd really and I wouldnt have thought that was the type of wedding she would ever have wanted, she loved being a witch and would have wanted Grams, Patty and maybe even her parents there...in a kinda Piper and Leo wedding but with more guests? That is just how I saw it...but they all had mountains of children - must have been very fun growing up in one of those households and very...magical!

In fact I think they should have left it at the end of series 7 - it was a very conclusive episode: they got new, quieter lives, the house was technically blown up, they concluded things, Darryl knew they were ok... it was a finisher! The problem with American network television is that shows are made purely to obtain high ratings, because the bigger your audience the more you can charge for advertising. Therefore, as long as a series is achieving healthy ratings, it will continue being made. As a result, practically all long-running American shows tend to go downhill towards the end: every possible storyline has been explored, the writers have run out of ideas, dramatic and radical changes are sometimes made in an attempt to keep things fresh (which often only anger and alienate the fans), repetition creeps in, and the audience starts to drift away. That's when the show gets cancelled, having been prolonged longer than necessary, practically run into the ground, and with everything that made it good in the first place having been tarnished. |

Yup I completely agree, apart from it didn't happen with Buffy or Angel as they were just phenomenal and could never have run out of storylines! |

Yeah its true
some shows do run out of ideas
I think xena was one
Buffy was not
Charmed deffintley was
X files-not sure, but the lead character did leave the show so they could of run out of ideas
