I love charmed, i've seen all the episodes countless times. Beause i love it so much and im obssesed, ive noticed many errors in writing. I'm not trying to make people hate charmed, but I'd like the topics to be discused. My first contradiction starts with a prophecy given by Milinda Warren. B4 she was burnt on the stake, she said that her line will continue to grow into power until 3 witches one with each of powers are born. Now, technically 4 were born, so that should automatically make them in no way candidates to be the charmed ones.Also, when Milinda was conjured she said that she allowed the townspeople to kill her so they would not suspect her daughter as a witch, but then y did she say three witches from her descent would become the most powerful of all? wouldnt she have risked he daughters saftey?
My second contradiction starts in an episode when Prue is turned evil and marries a warlock. In that episode, since Prue is turned evil so are her sisters and the book, but in the future when Phoebe turns evil and is the Queen of the Underworld, Piper & Paige remain good, as does the book.
My third contradiction begins in the episode "Trial By Majic" in this episode Phoebeb is on a jury and inorder to prove a man's innocence she must conjure a ghost, but she does not have enough power to do so, so the power of three is needed. And in a later episode Piage summons Grams by herself, not needed the power of three. Now i know wat you are thinking, Piage and Piper can summoun ghosts because they are more powerful, but that is disproved in an episode where Prue is split into three people. It is said in that episode that the oldest witch is the most powerful, So the most powerful begins with Prue, then Piper, then Phoebe, then Paige, the only person that should have trouble conjuring is Paige because she is the weakest of the four.
Now this contridiction is not a wrting default as the others, this is souly based on human behaviour. After Prue's death Piper attempts to summon her but not being allowed to, because she needs to accept Prue is dead. But after they are ruinted with Paige and have this huge sisterly bond agian, they have now accpted Prue's death, but she was never conjured. I myslef would love to see my sister if she had passed away after i have accepted her death.
Another contridction emerges as Zankou begins to take a power of the Nexus. An elder tells the sisters that a spell was put in by the ELDERS as a last result in they had lost control of the Nexus. But in previous episodes it is said that the Book of Shadows was passed down by the sister's ancestors and only has their experiences written in it.
Also, as all of the witches have their powers progress. Prue telekinesis- astro projection, Piper Freezing- explodin , Phoebe Premeniton- Empath, and Paige teleporting and orbing. As seen, the powers of each sister is connected. it is said Pipers exploding power happens when time speeds up so fast an explosion occurs. Prue was able to move stuff with her body, so why not herself? Phoebe could see into the future, why not read people minds? Paige could teleport items where ever, so she was able to teleport herself. But in the episode where the chamred ones project they have died, they use astro projecting, a power that was an advancment of her own. It is said Prue showed Leo how to astro project, and that she was very protective of it. Prue being called super witch was not stupid, and would have taught her sisters how to astro project if she could. Which is why the thought that any witch could astro project was an idea brought on by new writes as the only solution to destroy Zankou and have the charmed ones continue with their lives.
Also, this does not qualify as contridictions but I have noticed many characters being reused agian and agian. A Greek God that in unleashed during an avalanche has been seen before, he was also one of the four hoursemen of the Apocalypse. Elyse was seen before also as the aunt of a troubled young witch that was being tricked by a demon in a mirror to join the sisters "coven"
Although there are probably more contridtions in the eight season of charmed, I cannot think of anymore. I would once more like to say i love charmed and a true fan isnt afriad to question the show, i am in no way insulting the writers of charmed because there is no way in my life i could right anything as brilliant as charmed.
