Season 5 Brings Many New Changes To Charmed...
Season 5 is a very interesting season to review. Many people have mixed feelings about it. Some say its the best and some say it is the downfall of Charmed. I somewhat agree with both sides, as my opinion is the first half is great up unitl the point where they vanquish Cole and shift into baby mode. Although some of the baby episodes are good, the show definately changed after the birth of Wyatt. This season was pretty light hearted with many baby-centric episodes but this season does have its dark points. Highlights include: A Witch's Tail, Sam I Am, Centennial Charmed, The Day The Magic Died, and Oh My Goddess.
Episodes:
1. A Witch's Tail Part 1 - The sisters help Mylie (Jamie Pressly), a mermaid, with a deal she made with the sea-hag.
2. A Witch's Tail Part 2 - Phoebe becomes a mermaid and Paige and Piper must convince her to return home.
3. Happily Ever After - A witch uses the power of fairy tales to create problems for the charmed...
A new season, a new cast make over...
Well, we had a character change for series 4, and we get another for the 100th episode* this season. Yep we bid a fond farewell to Cole : ( But there will be a tiny new cast member - this season sees the birth of Piper and Leo's baby.
Season 5 stills retains it's sense of realism with the added drama and wit that made CHARMED a huge success, but for me this series lost that special something that made it a must watch programme, though it picks it up as it nears the end.

Exploring New Territory
Season 5 of Charmed brought about a new direction for the series. In season 4 the show took a very dark path and brought a more serialized element to the series. Season 5 brought Charmed into the light and showed other elements that the show is able to accomplish. During the first four seasons the show tended to mainly explore the human world and the underworld. In season 5 we saw other elements in the magical community and innocents that the Charmed ones needed to save that weren't always human, but mermaid and nymphs. While the show had it's much lighter moments this season it also had it's dark points as well with the character of Cole going crazy from the powers he asorbed in the finale of season 4 and the inevitable vanquish of his character in the 100th episode. Then we had great family moments with the birth of Piper's son in "The Day the Magic Died" and how the character of Piper evolved into becoming a great mom and protector. Then once again the drama picked up in the...
