The Downward Spiral of Charmed continues with Season 6!!
Review date: 2007-06-06 Rating: 4 out of 10
Considered to be the worst season of the series (that title actually goes to the abysmal 8th and final season!!) Charmed's 6th season is pretty damn close to being that bad!! How could Brad Kern, who has taken over the series as show runner since the 3rd season, as loosely as this? The characters were completely out of character and Drew Fuller's Chris adds nothing to Charmed and his character is badly written throughout the season!! Jason continues to bore as Phoebe's love interest and Paige's new love interest, Richard is also another pointless character to the series!! Here is Season 6:
Valhalley of the Dolls, Part 1-Bad episode!! "With Piper's awkwardly happy behavior, Paige and Piper demand Chris to bring Leo to them, little to they know Leo is trapped on the island of Valhalla, leading the sisters to disguise themselves as Valkyries to save him." Worse than the 5th season finale, the Valhalla plot just poor. Phoebe gets a new power of empathy.
Valhalley of the Dolls, Part 2-Bad episode!! "When Valhalla warriors escape from Valhalla, The Valkeries including an angry Piper return to San Francisco to bring them back to Valhalla, leaving Paige and Piper to bring her home." This episode drags more than the first and the subplot with Paige with the cursed dog was worse. I did like how Phoebe used her empathy at the end against Piper.
Forget Me...Not-Weak episode!! "The Charmed Ones struggle to battle the Cleaners when they take Wyatt and cause them to forget his existence after he conjures up a dragon!!" The dragon was an impressive special effect! The Cleaners are a waste of time, now just appearing out of now after all the other times magic was exposed!!
The Power of Three Blondes-Awful episode!! "The Stillman sisters steal the identities and powers of the Charmed Ones, while Leo tries to find out who sent him to Valhalla." The blonde actresses, especially former MTV VJ Jenny McCarthy were awful!! The Stillman sisters were the most laughable villains ever!!
Love's A Witch-Pretty good episode!! "Paige's new temp leads to a magical feud between 2 families involving Richard Montano and his dead lover who possesses Paige, while Leo tracks down Chris who is trying to acquire a potion." Richard makes his first appearance and immediately bores. Since when can witches throw energy balls? I did like the possession storyline with Paige.
My Three Witches-Bad episode!! "Wanting to teach the sisters a lesson, Chris gets the demon Gith to trap the Charmed Ones in 3 alternate realities where their inner desires become real." The alternate reality scenes dragged and the special effects were awkwardly terrible (the sisters running from the exploding car..?)
Soul Survivor-Bad episode!! "After her boss is killed, Paige sells her soul to a demon in exchange to free his soul leading Piper and Phoebe to save her, while Leo and Chris get stuck in the past with a dinosaur." An episode that completely bores from start to finish! The dinosaur scenes were the only entertaining parts and had some decent effects.
Sword and The City-Pretty good episode!! "After the death of the Lady of the lake, The Charmed Ones must now protect Excalibur aka the sword in the stone from the Black Knight. When Piper takes out the sword, she becomes overwhelmed by its power." Holly is great in this episode and the revelation of Wyatt being the new owner of Excalibur was a nice twist!
Little Monsters-Good Episode!! "After killing its mother, the sisters look after a half-human/half-demon baby who is being track down by Manticore demons and the baby's father, The Beast." A dark and enjoyable episode; the best scenes are the ones with Piper and The Beast. Also the sub-plot with Darryl's superpowers was hilarious and the baby demon/Wyatt scenes were cute.
Chris-Crossed-Great Episode!! "An assassin witch of The Phoenix named Bianca comes from the future to drain Chris' powers and bring Chris home, while Chris recalls the dark future he left behind and The Charmed Ones try to find a way to save him." The best episode this season and one of the best of the series! The revelation of future Wyatt was the best part!
Witchstock-Bad Episode!! "When Paige puts on Gram's old boots, she is sent back to 60s where Grams, her grandfather, and Leo are hippies, leaving Piper and Phoebe to go get her back while Leo and Chris battle a green blob demon at the manor." This episode is just too gimmicky and embarrassing with a big green blob as a villain...Uhh?
Prince Charmed-Awful Episode!! "When Piper gives up on love on her birthday, Phoebe and Paige conjure up Mr. Right as a present to her, while a demonic cult captures Wyatt." This is again one of the worst episodes of the series!! What happened to not using magic for personal gain?
Used Karma-Bad Episode!! "Wanting to rid his family of bad karma, Richard casts a spell that makes Phoebe get possessed by a 1930's French spy and prostitute, Marta Hari, while The Charmed Ones battle Swarm demons." Jason finds out the truth about Phoebe and they break up! Jason makes his last appearance on Charmed in this horrible episode!
The Legend of Sleepy Haliwell-Good Episode!! "When the sisters discover Magic School, a school for young witches to learn the craft, they must find out who has conjured the Headless horseman who is beheading the teachers." The introduction of Magic school brings a nice new setting for the show, even though it's a Harry Potter knock-off!! Gideon makes a great first appearance! Phoebe's vision quest was well shot. Also Chris is Wyatt's brother.
I Dream of Phoebe-Pretty good episode!! "When Phoebe becomes the master of a genie named Jinny; Jinny is actually a demon who tricks Phoebe into taking her place, while Chris takes advantage of Phoebe's power to make Piper and Leo sleep together." While genie plot was weak, Jinny was a good villain and the special effects were good. Richard makes his last appearance on the show.
The Courtship of Wyatt's Father-Good Episode!! "Gideon makes a deal with a darklighters that sends Leo and Piper to the ghostly plane with a darklighter after them, while Paige and Phoebe help a depressed Chris who is slowly fading away." The ghostly plane was a great looking setting with the deserted and blue atmosphere. Holly and Brian were great in this episode as their scene was touching.
Hyde School Reunion-Awful Episode!! "On the night of her high school reunion, Phoebe accidentally turns herself into a teenager and recks havoc at the reunion while Piper tries to get to Chris by getting Victor to talk to him." The scene wher Paige and Phoebe let an innocent man die was horrible! It just seemed the show lost it's moral about protecting the innocent, not punish the guilty!
Spin City-Awful Episode!! "A Spider demon kidnaps and cocoons a now pregnant Piper, not to mention turns Chris into a Spider demon himself, leaving Phoebe, Paige, and Leo to save them." The Spider demon looked very cheap and laughable. Also what's up with Chris hating Leo all of a sudden after Leo hated him earlier in the season!!
Crimes and Witch-Demeanors-Weak Episode!! "When Paige and Phoebe are exposed on tape, The Cleaners resolve the situation by making Darryl a murderer, which leads to a trial between the Charmed Ones and Barbas in front of the tribunal, while Leo and Chris try to aid the sisters and Darryl." A pointless "clip" episode with no Prue footage again and the fact that they took Phoebe's powers was a horrible idea since she never gets 2 of them back!!
A Wrong Way's Journey into Right-Weak episode!! "When Paige conjures up her own Mr. Right, she also creates his evil alter ego Mr. Wrong, who with the help of the Demonatrix demons uses the Charmed Ones' knowledge of potions to make Paige his!" The Mr. Right plot was a poor episode before, and it is again here!
Witch Wars-Good Episode!! "Not wanting the sisters to catch on to his plan, Gideon makes a deal with 2 demons that puts the Charmed Ones as the new stars of a reality show for demons called "Witch Wars!" It was also a cool scene with Phoebe uses the demonic powers to take out all the demons watching the show!
It's a Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad World-Weak episode!! "When Leo and Chris go through a portal to go to the future, they end up in an opposite world where good and evil is reversed, leaving Phoebe and Paige to go save them, while Gideon finally goes after Wyatt and Piper is in labor." The reversed world wasn't interesting and the fight scene with Paige and Phoebe's evil counterparts was hardly that exciting. Rose gives an awkward poor performance when Phoebe gets shot.
It's a Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad World-Weak episode!! "When Paige, Phoebe, Chris and Leo return to their world, they find a shift has happened because of Gideon and they're world is so good that it's dangerous; Paige and Phoebe struggle to fix their world while Gideon stops at nothing to kill
Wyatt and Piper give birth to Chris!" While the happy world plot dragged, I thought Chris' death scene was surprisingly well acted by Brian, Rose and even Drew Fuller, whose acting was sub par all season! Leo's showdown with Gideon was good, also.
As you can see, there are hardly any good episodes this season with very few good ones that don't redeem the season by much. Buy Season 6 if you're only a hardcore fan or avoid it other wise! But there is hope for Charmed as Season 7 revives the series for a while!
A stellar season

I hadn't watched these episodes since they originally aired back in 2003 and from memory I thought this was a horrible season. But upon buying it and watching it again I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was a pretty good one, MUCH better than the dreadful season 5. My only complaints about this season is the HORRIBLE, and I mean HORRIBLE season premiere. What were the producers thinking? It was SO bad.
I also didn't like how the producers seemed to have no respect for some of the characters. It appears Jason was written out without even a goodbye. Sure he and Phoebe's last scene ended on a bad note but no reason for us to assume it was the last scene with him ever! I also didn't like Paige's boyfriend Richard.
My biggest complaint was the casting of Drew Fuller. Apart from being good looking, the guy cannot act!
Overall, pretty good season of "Charmed". The finale was excellent and I enjoyed most of the storylines.
Excellent season!

The makers of Charmed definitely hit the mark with this season. Filled with secrets and intrigue Season 6 brings many new challenges to the Halliwell household along with their new whitelighter Chris. But is Chris really who he says he is? And why has he come back from the future? And where is Leo and why has he disappeared?
As the Halliwell sisters encounter more demons, warlocks and conspiracies, the secrets Chris bears with him are unravelled one by one, leading to two climactic last episodes. A must-have for every Charmed fan!
A hexiting season 6
Review date: 2006-09-03 Rating: 8 out of 10
In this season you have everything. Clever jokes,dragons,demons,stupid blondes,genies and more...
There are a few episodes I find kind of slow moving..but thats ok.
My favoite episode is 'Witchstock' where Paige is transported back in time via a par of Gram's magical go-go boots.
Also 'Hyde School Reunion' is a fun episode..where Phoebe's wild teenage personality takes over when she inadvertently casts a spell on herself before her high school reunion.
This is a season where we get to know Chris (Pipers son) better..and we also get to see what Evil Leo is like...
I recomend this season...as well as the other 5..
