It's all mildly diverting, but there is a major sense of deja vu starting to set in. It's a case of 'be careful what you wish for' but we could have wished for something a little bit more original.ĭreams and wishes coming true are old hat and have even been done by this show before.
#CHARMED EPISODE MAKING MR RIGHT TV#
Paige gets to become a famous superhero thanks to her magical exploits and Phoebe gets to become a media darling with her own TV show that is going to go nationwide. Piper gets a day without any magic at all and that includes the male stripper party. He intends to save them in time, but things go majorly awry.
TopĬhris is failing to get the Halliwells to listen to him, so he delivers their innermost desires to a demon who can make those desires come true until it kills them. The grand theft literary is so blatant that it actually manages to distract from the rest of the usual sort of nonsense. Yes, it's Romeo and Juliet done CHARMED stylee with added ghosts and fireballs. If you're going to steal then steal from the best and CHARMED takes this episodes almost wholly from the Bard himself. Paige gets involved in a war between two magical families that is being prolonged by the vengeful spirit of one daughter who got caught in the crossfire. In fact, the Stillman sisters are fun and liven up the Halliwells, who have been getting a bit stuffy recently, but never really represent a true threat to the Charmed Ones, leaving the result in no doubt.
This is what the Halliwells could have turned out like if they had absolutely no class and just about the cheapest wardrobe in the country. Three blonde witches whose main power seems to be looking like anyone else they choose, take on the identities of the Charmed Ones and then fool the Book Of Shadows into gifting them with the Halliwells' powers. Another case of amnesia so soon after Piper's last bout is a bit tired, however. The way in which the sisters deal with the cleaners is much more impressive than the destruction of the dragon, though both show the same level of brinksmanship. The cleaners, however, do get screen time and are interesting enough in their non-partisan, but almost omnipotent powers.
It doesn't however get that much screen time. The cause of the problem for the Halliwells in this episode, the magiciking up of a dragon by Wyatt is pretty flimsy and ridiculous, but the beast is fairly well realised for the most part. As the sisters relive their last day, they realise that something is missing and it turns out to be Wyatt and a huge dragon. The ultra-powerful 'cleaners' wipe all memory of Piper's son Wyatt out of existence. In fact, the only moment of real note is the rerunning of the early scene of THE TERMINATOR where the Valkyries take on a band of bikers and end up putting on their sunglasses and riding away on their Harleys, but even that isn't enough to raise the quality of the episode. The legendary warriors just sort of give up when they realise that the Valkyries haven't gone soft and Piper just sort of decides to return. The situations that were set up in the first episode of this two-parter are suitably resolved, but in a fairly standard and rather unsatisfying manner. Piper leads the Valkyries in pursuit whilst Phoebe and Paige look to find a way of getting their sister back.
#CHARMED EPISODE MAKING MR RIGHT HOW TO#
The Valkyries have lost control of their men, releasing a group of legendary killers into a world that doesn't know how to deal with them. Phoebe's new power seems to be spectacularly uselss. The sisters being turned into whatever they are hunting is getting a bit wearing since it is happening so often now, but the shadowy nature of Chris manages to intrigue. The plot even manages to verge on complicated as Chris is proven to be far from the good guy he claims to be, Paige manages to wipe her sister's memory and Leo is playing a reluctant super fighter. Getting the sisters into the impractical fighting outfits of the Valkyries is what this episode is all about, but there is a lot more going on. When Leo turns up on the island of Valhalla, being forced to fight by Valkyries, the sisters must become Valkyries themselves to rescue him, but an amnesiac Piper decidest that she wishes to remain a warrior woman. Leo, though is missing and Chris, the sisters' new whitelighter doesn't seem to be able to help. Piper is very upbeat despite her marriage falling apart.
