CHARACTERS:
Pheobe Halliwell: She is my FAVOURITE CHARACTER! I LOVE HER! She is my idol. She is played by my favourite actress Alyssa Milano. She is the youngest and most wild child therefore the "disappointment" of the family. She is a bit of a rebel, does what she wants thinks this whole being a witch situation is cool. She's beautiful and has a very "attractive" body. She's fun, cool, go with the flow. I'm sure you will all love her as much as I do!Piper Halliwell: She is played my Holly Marie Combs. She is the middle sister, stopping the fights and arguments between the eldest and youngest. She is is very patient and caring sister. She's really just an in between. Almost the forgotten one. She's a yes girl and very closed up. She's pretty but is not as free will to show her body like Pheobe. Piper is a chef. Not much else to say about her, but she gets wicked in the future.
Prudence Halliwell: Well first off NO ONE calls her Prudence, it's Prue. She is played by Shannen Doherty. She is the eldest sister. She is like their mom. She loves them very much and wishes only to protect them. This is also the reason why she's the most skeptical about fighting demons with magic powers. She is a working girl, she wears a lot of buisnessy suits (attractive but reformed). She is stubborn as life its self and hates being wrong. Prue sells expensive and authentic antiques for a living. She is the strongest of the 3 and basically their leader.
Jerermy: He is Piper's boyfriend. He's so supportive and not ugly! He is played by Eric Scott Wood.
Roger: This PIG is played by Matthew Ashmore. He is Pure's boss.
Inspector Andy Trudeau: He is the best! He is good looking, sweet, a bit nosy but he is an inspector. He is played by Ted King. KING OF AWESOME! Sorry...
Detective Darryl Morris: He is very loyal and helpful. He is Andy's partner in SOLVING crime (not partner in crime).He is played by Dorian Gregory.
SEASON 1 EPISODE 1 - Something Wicca This Way Comes
So I'm starting off right away with giving you a video to watch. It is the theme song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xN9xRFAX7YM
So at the very beginning of the episode a witch is doing a little ceremony and when she turns a around she is killed with an Athemay. This a a spiritual knife used only by magic people. K, so after the theme song you see Piper and Prue talking about Pheobe returning. Prue is mad because she didn't know and didn't want her back. Pheobe comes back and they all go to their separate rooms. Pheobe and Piper have a discussion about Prue's behaviour. She has always been more of a mom than a sister ever since their real mom died.
We then go to Andy and Darryl at the crime seen, where they talk about Andy's insane idea that all the victims are witches. Then Jeremy comes to ask some question (since he is a reporter).
Back to the sisters, they found their old spirit board. It had the words: "To my three beautiful girls may this give you the light to find the shadows. The power of three will set you free, Love Mom" written on the back.
It had the words: "To my three beautiful girls may this give you the light to find the shadows. The power of three will set you free, Love Mom" written on the back. So they start using it. Pheobe and Piper put their fingers on the (fatter) edge of the pointer (the little thing with a hole in the middle). So their just moving it around when Piper gets up and leaves to get more popcorn. The pointer moves on it's the letters A then T! Pheobe screams for her sisters and when they come she tells them what happened. They blow her off because when they were smaller she used to always push the pointer. When their gone it moves again off then back on to T. She yells for them but they blow her because it's still on T. Prue leaves but when Piper is turning around the pointer moves to I and C. They both scream and Prue comes back. Pheobe writes down all the letters: A-T-T-I-C!
Ever since Prue and Piper moved back in the house they couldn't open the attic door. Their's a blackout, the circuits go short and everyone is scared. Prue and Piper go downstairs to check the circuits, Pheobe goes upstairs to the attic.
The attic door won't open when she tries but when shes about to leave it opens on it's own. She goes in to see a old treasure box in the middle of the room. She opens that to see "The Book Of Shadows" in side. She then opens the book and read aloud the first SPELL in the book:
Invoking The Powers Spell
Hear now the words of the witches,
The secrets we hid in the night.
The oldest of gods are invoked here,
The great work of magic is sought.
In this night and in this hour,
I call upon the ancient powers.
Bring your power to we sisters three,
We want the power, give us the power.
So I'm going to show you a video of just this scene, to show you he awesomeness:

When the sisters regroup on the middle floor Pheobe shows them what she did. They get mad since they were included in this "receiving powers" thing. They dismiss it and go to sleep. The next morning Pheobe tells Piper she was reading that night (not aloud) about them.
So their ancestor Melinda Waren was a witch. She practiced three powers, she could move things with her mind (telekinesis), she could see into the future (premonition) and she could freeze time. Before she was killed she swore each generation of Waren women after her will be witches and get stronger each time when eventually it will venture into three sisters witches. The most power good force the world will ever see.
We then jump to Prue at her job where she quits because her boss (and ex-fiance) stole her client. When she's leaving she squeezes her hand and UNINTENTIONALLY (because she doesn't believe she has powers) tightens his tie to choke him (heh heh heh).
We then jump to Piper at a job interview for a chef at Quake. The chef there then comes in to test her food to see if she gets the job, she wasn't finished. She then freezes him UNINTENTIONALLY but you know finishes her food and when he unfreezes, he taste her food and she gets the job!
We then jump to Pheobe who is riding her bike and then she get a premonition of two boys on roller skates getting hit by a car. She sees it about to happen the the premonition is done so she swerves in front of the car to save them WOOT WOOT!
Piper is in a phone booth when Jeremy surprises her and takes her out.
Prue goes to see Pheobe in the hospital because you know she went in front of a car. Prue runs in to her high school sweet heart Andy. They have coffee (not very good coffee). When Prue and Pheobe leave the hospital and go to a bar Prue finds she really does have powers and gets a headache. They go to the pharmacy and they find that Prue uses her powers when she's mad.
Back with Piper and Jeremy he takes her to this abandoned place where he tries to kill her. That's right he's the killer from the beginning. When she gets home to her sisters they cast not really a spell but they poked a rose in a voodoo doll, but it didn't work!
So Jeremy is now at the house in the attic, the girls are all together and they're chanting:
Power of Three Spell
The Power of Three Will Set You Free
Jeremy blows up and they are witches!
The next morning Andy shows up to ask Prue out on a date but she asks for a rain check because she has " a lot on her plate". The show closes with Prue closing the front door with her powers!
OPINION:
So let me start with correcting some character details. Pheobe's power is "Premonition" she can see into the future. Piper's power is "Freezing" she can freeze time (or just things). Prue power is "Telekenisis" she can move things with mind. Jeremy, no matter how sweet, was indeed a warlock. When he killed witches he took their powers.
Now I'm going to VERY critical, I LOVE this show, don't get me wrong (ask my mom) but I'm going to sound like i hate it sometimes.
So let's begin with the spirit board, it spells out Attic on its own. So not only are do they going to go to the Attic but Pheobe went alone. No offense but doesn't this usually spell killer in the room? or some sort of death but no for white people (sorry I'm going to say that a lot. It might get offensive) it spells let's go check the room that's been locked ever since we were little! YEAH! So she goes ALONE and finds a book of magic. Now we've all seen the movies reading magic out loud is casting a spell but hey, let's do it anyways! All alone, in a dark room during a storm, a blackout and a room we've never been before, because that's just so intelligent!
So Pheobe did some reading. Wouldn't the have mentioned what good they'd have to do? All the demons that can now tract them because they're witched now? Nope only that they're all powerful witches and they inherited it and blah blah blah useless information. If you hadn't noticed the book is HUGE! How do you miss all the demon killing spells?
Now they all get powers they all have moments when they find out they actually have powers. So wouldn't you go home to all your sisters in safety and where The Book Of Shadows is to save you? Apparently not. Nah they'd rather go out with a boyfriend, to a bar and the pharmacy. Not until Piper almost gets killed do they decide home is good. Wow, what a great minds.
So nothing really happens in this episode because it's only just starting. So I'm done for now, see you at my next post! http://www.tv-links.eu/tv-shows/Charmed_161/
