Charmed (TV Series) Forever Charmed (2006) User Reviews

A superb ending for a superb series

[pj_maia · 10/10 · 22 May 2006]

The final episode of Charmed was a valentine for every true fan of this amazing show.

Filled with over-the-top performances and the best kind of nostalgia, this episode takes us into the core of the Halliwell family, before and after The Charmed Ones fulfill their destiny once and for all.

In its 8-year run, with 178 action-packed and delightful episodes, the series ender made justice to its followers, and gave proper closure to all the characters we have learned to love and cheer for over the past 8 years.

Charmed, you will be missed.

The Best Finale for the Best Series

[arturo_smallcharm · 10/10 · 16 August 2006]

I'm gonna miss Charmed, this show gave me the most incredible eight years in my life. I started to watched since I was 10, I wish it had have more seasons, but it didn't. Anyway, now Charmed is part of history, my history, and once when I get marry, I will let my children and my grand children to watch the reruns or the DVD's. I will be so proud of it, even when I get old, when the actresses will be dead by that time, I will remember them.

I wish they had have Shannon Doherty for the final episode, and then fans would have been happy with Paige meeting her. But it did not happen.

Farewell My Beloved Charmed Ones. Rest In Peace, Mr. Aaron Spelling.

Farewell my Beloved Halliwell

[solitary_demon · 10/10 · 31 May 2006]

When I saw the door closing at the end of the series I felt the most horrible feeling of emptiness I ever had. The brilliant conclusion to a series full of great actors (the guest list in this show is by far the best ever, perhaps friends is about as good), and of course beautiful lovely Ladies. After all this time I'm gonna miss the rhythmical spells, or when Phoebe used to foretell, or when Piper froze my heart as well. I missed Prue for a long time, but Paige became the perfect rhyme. Besides Prue's absence in the last episode I couldn't ask for anything else. Everything, was delightfully perfect. I really enjoyed how they wrote their experiences in the Book of Shadows. Nothing was left undone, they showed us through words their lives in the future, their families, and children. Chris and Wyatt are the ultimate siblings, because they mostly think as one and alternate their sentences nicely. Leo and Piper, Coop and Phoebe, and Henry and Paige are the couples who will live happily ever after in my heart. Bye Charmed, farewell my beloved Halliwell, and Leo as well. PS. Sometimes, I'm a "good demon"

Charmed Ends PERFECTLY!!! Spoilers!!!

[charmedslayr · 10/10 · 22 May 2006]

After 8 years of demon fighting, innocent saving, and falling in and out of love. Our favorite witches said goodbye in what I believe was the best way possible. After the final battle was over instead of just leaving us to guess what happened to them. They FastForward through time showing that our girls finally got the lives they wanted. Having Old Piper and Old Leo walking up the stairs passing by pictures of the family and it made me cry. Then having one of the granddaughters closing the door to the Manor one final time. I gave this episode 10 stars. I say Thank You to everyone involved in Charmed. I just hope that sometime in the future we might get a TV Movie or even a Theater Movie out of this. Maybe some sort of spin off with their children. All I know is that even though now I have an empty feeling... I am every happy with the way Charmed ended.

You can't wish for more.

[owlaurence · 10/10 · 2 August 2008]

Having been cruelly disappointed by some endings, I was really anxious about everything that could go wrong for this one, and... it is everything I could wish for. Emotional, both in a sad and in a happy way, crammed with all the characters we have come to know and love over the years, filled with small reminders of past events and events yet to come. Just... wonderful.

As Piper and Leo travel back and forth in time to save Paige and Phoebe, collecting their relatives along the way, I can't stop grinning. How wonderful is it to see the whole family reunited and working together? Not to mention everybody blissfully blurting out things that they shouldn't (yay Wyatt and "Uncle Coop"!) It's all very sweet, even though I feel sad for Patty who missed so much. But what a treat to see Wyatt and Chris so close, when you know what could have been.

Then to the main plot. It is particularly ironical that the last evil the sisters vanquish is a human witch, whom they once treated as a sister. Billie's gradual realisation that her beloved sister is lost, and her final decision to kill her, is heart-breaking. Faced with the big family reunion, the main plot could have been a mere pretext, but it works because it remains coherent, and there is this clever mirror effect, with Billie's powers and Coop's ring being used by each side alternately. And the Angel of Destiny popping back in every 5mn, and Leo just watching Piper in a way that expresses his complete belief in her...

So we finally have our "happily ever after", wonderfully illustrated by the intertwined narratives the sisters and the really, really beautiful shot of old Piper and Leo, the ultimate couple, slowly walking up those familiar stairs, past a series of photographs that sum up everything the family stood for and symbolised. Thus does the door close for the last time on the Charmed Ones, and as I can find nothing more to ask for, I'll let it close and be content.

Forever Charmed

[heathmcc · 10/10 · 21 May 2006]

This episode was the best and the saddest. I cant believe that Charmed is really over, after eight years. I cried during this episode, it was so moving. The very end of the episode was the most touching part. In the end, the three sisters write about their lives in the Book of Shadows. There is a voice-over as scenes flash by. Phoebe talks about the past eight years and the future. She says that her life has just begun.She marries Coop and ends up having three beautiful girls. Paige goes next, she talks about her future. Paige ends up having one boy and twin girls. Piper goes last, and talks about her life. She has two boys and her little girl. Later, we see future Piper with one of her grandchildren. Piper finishes reading her entry and goes up the stairs of the Manor. The other grandchildren come home and we see as Piper walks up the stairs, pictures of the past, present, and future. While watching this episode, I suggest you have a box of tissues ready.

A perfect end!

[andy26396453 · 10/10 · 26 May 2006]

This is the greatest end to any episode i have ever seen! After 8 fantastic years this show sadly comes to an end! But they did not leave us wondering what would happen, they gave us and the characters closure and touched all of our hearts! For all you fellow charmed fans you will understand when i say life won't be the same without our fix of kick ass witches and our little fix of magic that we get from watching Charmed! Thankyou Charmed and Thankyou to the amazing writers of the show and all the amazing actors! I hope maybe one day we may see the next generation of charmed ones taking their place on our screens and in our hearts!

Nothing over the top... nice ending for a wonderful series

[lori_knapp14 · 10/10 · 25 May 2006]

Like most shows that come to an end, I was concerned how Charmed and it's creators, writers and cast would end this wonderful show. This show has been under the radar for the past 8 years, with little help from the network. Thankfully, I feel that syndication helped bring extra viewers to a show that is timeless.

The ending was extremely well done and I feel gives the viewers the much needed closure that many shows don't give nowadays. After hearing that the show almost went off the air last year, and the ending season 7 received, I am glad it was brought back for one last season. I feel the show ended with the same grace and tact it has had all these years.

I was also glad to see many cast members return for this final farewell, as well as the way the show was written to answer some of the questions many of us would have had.

It will be missed by many, adored by more and, I feel, the magic of Charmed will continue to live on in the stories, DVDs and syndication.

Thank you to those who worked on such a wonderful show!!!

A proper goodbye

[rachybabz125 · 10/10 · 7 June 2006]

The final episode of Charmed was indeed spectacularly simple, drawing to a close all the things fans had always anticipated. It drew together so many "forgotten" elements that had been dismissed in the past, such as telling Patty about Prue's death, which had always been cautiously neglected in past episodes. Even references were (perhaps unintentionally) made to season three when Prue, Piper and Phoebe travelled back in time to the colonial period. At the time, Phoebe was blissfully unaware of Cole's demonic side and asked a fortune teller to reveal the letter of her true love. It was, of course, C and I was impressed that Phoebe ended up marrying Coop, which meant a nice line of continuation. I admit that I did cry, especially at the end when the photos on the wall were scanned over. I thought that Holly Coombs did an amazing job of conveying her desperation not to lose her sisters ever again and her overall acting was incredible. It was also nice of Drew Fuller to make another appearance as the sexy Chris. I was pleasantly devastated by the final episode of Charmed but I felt it was a fitting tribute to all the hard work Alyssa, Holly and Rose have put in over the last few years. It would have been nice for Shannon Doherty to make an appearance as Prue but, of course, that was wishful thinking on my part. However, it must be said that the episode was utterly fantastic and was a fitting goodbye to a show so many people will allow to live on all over the world.

Couldn't Have Been More Perfect!

[rmorse21 · 10/10 · 5 September 2007]

Die-hard fans of this marvelous series will find this, the last-ever episode, both exciting and gratifying.

Bringing together several beloved characters from past episodes including Grams, Patty, Victor, and the adult Wyatt and Chris, evil is defeated, love is affirmed, and all loose ends are tied neatly.

A special treat is the tender look into the futures of the three sisters and their respective families.

I'll offer no more details or possible spoilers, since viewers should be able to enjoy Charmed's final installment as events unfold, but when about to watch the episode, take this advice: sit back armed with favorite snack and beverage, turn off the telephone, and bask in the pleasure of what may be the finest episode in the show's long history.

Incredible!

[spikebabe9 · 10/10 · 25 May 2006]

I watched three of four series finales(That 70's show,Charmed, and 7th Heaven/Will and Grace(did not watch on same time as 70's show)) in the past 3 weeks and this was by far the best. The endings of the other shows were fulfilling but they left things vague. The ending here was pristine and perfect. Happy endings all the way around. I love the fact that Billie was included in the flash forwards as Pheobe's sitter. It is sad that she lost her sister but she gained 3 and what more can you ask for. Having Piper's Grandchild be the last one seen closing the door(With her powers) was brilliant. The first chapter ends and another begins with a new generation. I am proud to say that I watched this show from the beginning and I would like to thank the creators and writers for 8 incredible years.

I missed 85% of the last episode

[jpycior-1 · 22 May 2006]

I caught the last 15 minutes this past Sunday, however, what I did see was incredible..Charmed will indeed be missed. I cried at the end, and it was tears of joy. It was an amazing episode, no doubt. It was good to see it end on such a good note. Is there anyone who can give me more details of what happened. I understand that Piper had to go back in time to save her sisters. What I really enjoyed about the episode, is when they all wrote in the Book of Shadows and to see everyone together again..it was good to see Leo and Piper back together again after so much had happened to them in their lives. The ending was very well done. Fantastic performances all around. Please email me with details, if possible or if you know when and if the episode will repeat sometime soon. Thanks!

Great but Annoying...

[sean-cairney · 7/10 · 4 November 2014]

I loved the ending of what is probably my favourite TV series of all time. However I think many factors were overlooked in this episode that made me feel as though the writers got sloppy when making the finale.

Some of the major things that bugged me were the inconsistencies surrounding the hollow - we charmed lovers all know the hollow was once before released, back in series 4 by the Source. It is also written that the hollow must be "captured" by both someone of good and evil, hence why in series 4, Phoebe and the Seer had to read the inscription on the box of the Hollow to "re-capture" it. Also the inscription that was read by Phoebe and the Seer, and the one read by Piper, Patty & Penny differed.

I was disappointed that they didn't allow Shannon Doherty one final appearance also, I know she left the show on bad terms and she and Alyssa never really got along, but I thought that for the finale they could have set aside their differences for the fans. It also annoys me that in the ending of the episode when the elderly Piper & Leo are walking up the stairs there is also no picture of her (And the picture of the older Chris & Wyatt is in particularly good taste considering why would that be the only picture of their grown up children in the house?).

HOWEVER, with the bad - there is of course the good, I enjoyed the final episode and how they brought the family back together, Victor, Patty, Penny, the older Chris & Wyatt as well. I loved how the show gave closure to all three of the sisters as well, not many shows give that closure or give that kind of a "tell-all future" ending, usually most writers leave it up to the fans to decide what happens next, I liked that we got to see what happened next definitely gave the fans the closure that was needed after 8 years.

One final moan is that I think in trying to have so many guest stars, I think the story-line in the final episode was a bit jumpy and I think the final Billie and Christie scene was rushed, I was expecting much more from that, and it was over in a heartbeat - after all it was supposed to be the "Ultimate Battle", no?

BUT, as a final episode it does what few writers manage to do in a finale after so many years on the air, and that is make the fans feel nostalgic and wishing it would never end.. So bravo!

P.S - Of final note... I also think that throughout the whole of series 8, the Triad's role was "irrelevant" and I was annoyed when the sisters said "We've already vanquished them" - if I remember correctly, in series 3 it was Cole who killed the triad, quite distinctively - He threw an Athame into one, broke ones neck and threw an energy ball into another.. They were quite dead last I checked, and they were never of as much significance as we are given rise to believe throughout the series, they were simply upper-level demons who served the source and whom members of the brotherhood reported too...

Now, it is finally over...

[m-47826 · 1/10 · 16 April 2021]

So « many » things to say about that series finale. The fact that it is full of plot holes, and that everything was handled so fast, made it the most anticlimactic, and rushed episode of the series. Episodes 20 and 21 caught my attention, and made me wonder if I wasn't too hard with my first impression of season 8. And I obviously was not. This finale episode proved the writing was so lazy it hurts. Things shifted in unbelievable ways, after they spent half of the season, preparing us for a big and spectacular showdown... The coda was depressing, not even heartwarming or heartbreaking. Aside from Paige, they weren't offered much to look forward to in their future, but to become leaving breathing incubators, and pursue love instead of demons. Not that there's something wrong with that, it's a noble cause. But still, it's not doing their eight years battle against evil, justice either. And I'm sorry, but Phoebe's endgame, still doesn't make sense to me (season 2 Cupid told her the love she felt for him, couldn't be real, so what changed?). Thankfully, we have previous seasons to rely on, and give the show that timeless charm and ability to genuinely entertain us, with such ease you wish it stayed that way all the time. So to conclude, season 8, in spite of its good moments, is still to be ignored or not taken seriously, just like the flop reboot must. Trust me...

Awesome

[PerfectPenguin33 · 10/10 · 10 September 2006]

I think that this episode of Charmed was truly wonderful. As a viewer for its entire 8 year run I was very impressed. This episode brought me to tears as a watched old Piper head up the staircase past the old photographs, which were recognizable from past episodes.

This episode tied up all loose ends. Wrapped up everyones lives. This episode was truly wonderful and a gift from the creators of Charmed. It engulfed every member (Even mentioning Prue) and brought the story line full circle.

I was happy to see each member of the Halliwell family and their extended family (Billie) grow up. Wonderful episode...a must see!

There could have been a picture or 2 of Prue on the wall or something a bout Darrel but otherwise great!

Almost...

[sfvoiceteacher · 8/10 · 1 November 2006]

I have been a fan of the show since the beginning. The story lines have been great, just as the guest stars have been.

The best part for me...that Christy was finally smoked! I could not stand her!!! I loved how the multi-generational family thing tied it all together. I understand the whole Prue thing. I am actually pretty cool with the fact that she was not 'in' the EP, BUT, I think the greatest tribute would have been to show her picture on the wall as the show ended. The storyline would NEVER have worked without Prue, and I think that for those of us that were the die hard fans deserved more respect from a show that we respected for eight seasons.

Why must it end!?

[hazel-752-685975 · 10/10 · 24 August 2010]

It's crazy, I don't know what to do in my spare time anymore now the series has ended! It was an amazing episode. My definite favourite out of all of the episodes in each series.

The acting was to a high standard as usual, the plot could have never been better and the time travel element to it was brilliant - it's always good to have a bit of sci-fi mixed in with fantasy in my opinion. A good time puzzle or alternate reality can get anyone interested, or confused. Especially me! I also enjoyed the rounded off ending with the flashbacks as it was nice to see how Piper, Phoebe and Paige all ended up with their husbands and children. In general my only regrets were that:

a) it ended there,

and

b) we didn't see enough of adult Chris for my liking.

I want a spin off show focussing on the boys! Grr.

The Perfect Ending To A Great Series

[TOrockchick · 10/10 · 30 May 2006]

I really enjoyed this episode and believe it was the perfect way to end the series. I really did feel bad for Billie that she wasn't able to save Christy, but at least she gained friends in the sisters. I was glad that everything else ended happily with the future ending up happy with everything how it should be. I really liked it how the granddaugther ended the series the same way it began, with the closing of the front door with her powers.

I have been a fan of the series since the start and have not missed a single episode. I also happen to own the first four seasons on DVD (the fifth to be added tomorrow) and enjoy watching them over and over. I will certainly miss this series and it will definitely be one to add to my list of all-time favorites. I do hope that somehow a spin off will be made from this, either with the children or grandchildren. I would love to see this continue and watch them grow with their powers.

Blessed Be to all Charmed Fans

Where's Prue??

[d_man006 · 9/10 · 3 February 2008]

I was really impressed with the series finale of Charmed, but I was really sad to know that there would be no more new episodes. I think it was really cool that Piper survived the big explosion at the end of the last episode because she died pretty much every week and I think it was her turn to shine, and she deserved it. I was also pleased to see all the of familiar faces of the Halliwell family for one last time, but one face that was noticeably absent was of course: Prue. Now I know that a lot of people would disagree, but being a huge fan of Prue, I was really disappointed. I know Brad Kern said that he didn't bring Shannen Doherty back on the show because he didn't want the finale to be focused on Prue's return, which I completely understand. But he could've avoided all of that by simply bringing Prue back on an episode before the series finale so when she came back for the final episode, all the attention wouldn't be on her. I mean, if they could manage to bring Cole back for an episode after his death, then I think they could've squeezed Prue in since she was a way more important character than Cole. I think it would've been really nice to see Prue reunite with Piper and Phoebe and meet Paige after being dead for five years. I think the fact that she never appeared after her death was a huge disappointment to all of the fans, and the character in general. I kinda think that none of this had to do with the fact of having the attention on Prue, I think it had to do with some on set rifts between Brad and Shannen (FYI: I side with Shannen on that one.) But other than Prue not being there, I think this was a spectacular end to an eight year run. I'm glad the sisters got to live and finally get to live normal lives. So, overall verdict: 9/10

Best series finale ever

[weatherladykatie · 10/10 · 9 September 2021]

Over 20 years later this is still my favorite TV show. The series finale takes you on an emotional journey through the past and into the future, and ties all the pieces together beautifully. It's not without a few cry moments, but it ends with a satisfying story.

the ending of charmed

[katbutcher2003 · 10/10 · 13 June 2006]

I was very impressed with the ending of charmed. The show gave insights to each of the sister's future and made you believe that Piper and Leo got that 'normal life' that she so much wanted. Phoebe finally found love without a demon and had the children that she seemed to crave. We got to see Paige get married find herself and manage a family and magic. Paige was a great choice to teach magic to all of the sister's children. I also like how they provided an insight on how Piper's boys had children and left the possibility of a spin off down the road and finally left you with the illusion that "The Magic lives on". Thank you the three leading actress of charm for a wonderful eight years that provide girls and women in the real world a window to see three independent, strong and responsible women who have a heart and inner strenght. TV needs more shows with women as the lead.

Charmed, for ever and always!

[du04 · 10/10 · 19 November 2006]

This has to be, as many reviewers before me have said, the best ending to the best show, ever! Which is very rare to hear me say as I am not usually a fan of nice, everything-in-a-bow, happily ever after endings. But this one was different! What Charmed has always been the best in its field at doing, is capturing people's imaginations and enabling the audience's sympathy with the characters. Therefore, it was only right that an ending should show the sisters living what they always dreamt, children, grandchildren and long, happy lives.

This also has the very great honour of being the only TV show I have cried my eyes out at... The penultimate scene, when old Piper & Leo are walking up the stairs and the camera pans around to all the old pictures of the characters, never fails to being a tear to my eye! Fantastic job to everyone involved, Charmed Forever!!

the end

[giovno73 · 24 May 2006]

I heard someone lost 85% of the episode. Well, you can find a way to find the episode in the Internet! The final episode was wonderful but I did not appreciate the big inconsistency regarding Prue: why they did never see Prue? You'll say that Doherty did not want to be back or that it was too expensive to have her back...or have image rights...OK but after so many years it was enough to let her appear in the shadow or in the mist or whatever using another actress(it was enough to show an older Prue or a younger Prue). We saw everything and everyone, the Source came back, the Triad, Cole, Barbas etc., granny, mummy, almost everyone (except Andy) returned at least once. But not Prue, this is too inconsistent even considering that they kept mentioning her in the show. And the pictures we see at the end...well I can't believe they couldn't afford to show the old picture with Prue in it. However, letting this incongruence apart...the episode was really satisfying and plenty of emotions!

Best Ep Ever

[starchild_spaceace · 10/10 · 12 June 2006]

I rate charmed 10/10 because it was the best episode ever. You need to watch this. I cried at the end, i suppose it was sad. It was great that Phoebe and Coop got married and had 3 girls, also Paige.

The end was cool with them as old folks and Wyatt and Chris picking up where the charmed ones left off.

I just wish they made more seasons, but people weren't watching.

You must see this EP, its the best one ever!

I recommend watching this with a box of tissues.

I'm looking forward to the 8th season DVDs! Hopefully a movie also!

The Sweetness

[jayu-2 · 10/10 · 14 June 2006]

Even though there was lots of conflict in it i think that it was a very sweet ending. It made me cry to be honest heehee especially the song at the end, it was soooo sweet I'm just angry that they arnt making a season 9, they could have carried it on to season 10 lol. I also think that they should make a spin off with Chris and Wyatt. I think that the girls should have some kind of reward like a bafta because how they have acted throughout the years s totally spectacular. I though Buffy was good, but this is 10x better. I wish the girls all the luck in the future and that the person who plays Billie is fit lol
