Justin is the guy who Prue (re)connected with at Piper's high school reunion in S3. We then saw him a few episodes later in Bride and Gloom. I thought he seemed nice and adorkable, but he ended up one of a few guys who Prue deemed too boring to continue dating past that episode. I kind of hate myself for knowing this stuff...I really need more of a life outside of my favorite TV shows :) I'll go with Phoebe/Coop (as you guys know, I recently watched S8 again, and while they didn't bug me quite as much this time, there's just something about Coop that I find so pushy, smug, arrogant, obnoxious etc., and their connection felt so forced to me), Prue/Jack and Phoebe/Dex

Kohola, I can certainly see why you'd have repressed the horribly smug, obnoxious Jack Sheridan from S2 :)

Okay, so congratulations to Evil Wyatt for being voted the best/worst demon of all :) Here's our list of romantic relationships. Just vote for the three you most want eliminated! And thanks to all who play this game---it's such a fun and desperately needed distraction for me! Prue/Andy Prue/Bane Prue/Jack Prue/Justin Prue/Micah (aka guy from All Halliwell's Eve who reappeared at 'Micth'in modern times) Piper/Leo Piper/Mark Chao Piper/Dan Piper/Jeremy Piper/Greg Phoebe/Cole Phoebe/Coop Phoebe/Clay Phoebe/Miles Phoebe/Jason Phoebe/Leslie Phoebe/Drake Phoebe/Dex Paige/Henry Paige/Glen Paige/Richard Paige/Kyle

What are people's favorite episodes...? I gather the consensus favorite season is the first one?! I recently saw the pilot and liked it a lot more than I expected, but it sounds like I should prepare myself for some disappointment if I keep watching the series :)

I'll break the tie by voting against Belth, and we're down to our final two! The Seer Evil Wyatt Meanwhile, I think we said we were doing relationships next...? It probably makes sense to do romantic relationships and then platonic ones. Here's what I have so far for the romantic round: Prue/Andy Prue/Bane Prue/Jack Prue/Justin Prue/Micah (aka guy from All Halliwell's Eve who reappeared at 'Micth'in modern times) Piper/Leo Piper/Mark Chao Piper/Dan Piper/Jeremy Piper/Greg Phoebe/Cole Phoebe/Coop Phoebe/Clay Phoebe/Miles Phoebe/Jason Phoebe/Leslie Phoebe/Drake Phoebe/Dex Paige/Henry Paige/Glen Paige/Richard Paige/Kyle

Why prolong the inevitable?! Farewell to the source, and hello to our final four: Belthazor Zankou The Seer Evil Wyatt

Interesting, Imonrey---I've been vocal about not liking the ways that Piper changed as the series progressed, but I've tended to blame it on the writing rather than the acting. I love HMC, but you may be right that her line deliveries, facial expressions etc. contributed a bit to why Piper seemed so flat, bitter, perpetually irritated, whiny, etc in later seasons. I understand her changes a lot more in S4, when she's clearly grieving Prue, but it's pretty surprising to watch the Piper of earlier seasons vs the Piper of later ones. As I've admitted here before, I actually think Piper changed even more than Phoebe did, and not generally for the better. What many understandably see as her becoming stronger comes off as just hardened, endlessly negative and a lot less likable for me. In general, while S3, S4 and S5 are arguably the best seasons of the series, I think Piper and Phoebe are both at their very most lovable for me in S1, and at times Prue is as well. If I want to talk more about my love for Phoebe, though---and especially early seasons Phoebe---I should probably take a trip to the Unpopular Opinions thread :) (For the record, I COMPLETELY see why some would dislike Phoebe from the outset of the series---she's actually the 'woo hoo, see how adorably free spirited she is?!' type that I normally don't warm up to, but something about the acting and writing just makes me fall in love with Early Phoebe every time---she's just brimming over with so much energy, optimism, spirit, warmth, humor and joy and really does strive to be a better person. As much as I love Prue and Early Piper beyond description, I think Phoebe adds a really vital energy to the sisters' dynamic and overall show. Re. Paige---maybe I was just as slow to accept her as Piper was, but I don't think it's until those last episodes of S4 that I really liked her. (And it's S5 when I really love her!) I just felt like they had no sense of who they wanted this character to be when they first introduced her, and she came off to me like a really uneasy combination of Early Phoebe and Prue before finally becoming her own character. Random question for you guys: I see a lot of fans who really loved Piper's short-lived connection with Mark Chao and think she'd have been happier with him than she generally was with Leo. Do you guys agree? Disagree? Wonder why fans are still talking Mark Chao at all?! ;)

I'll vote against The Source as well :)

Which seasons/episodes would you guys name as your very favorites so far?!

I have an irrational fondness for Barbas...but, alas, he's been vanquished :) Our final five! The Source Belthazor Zankou The Seer Evil Wyatt

The Source Belthazor Barbas Zankou The Seer Evil Wyatt Let's bid a not especially fond farewell to Gideon and The Crone and shift to voting against just ONE :) My vote: Evil Wyatt

2. When Lorelai sees the chuppah Luke made for her. (Road Trip) 9. Emily and Lorelai stealing bathrobes together. (There's the Rub) 10. When the Reenactors show up at Louie's funeral.

My votes: 12 and 14

I think I may have a new favorite episode: Centennial Charmed. I'm an admitted sucker for alt universe episodes of my shows anyway, and this one is so well done and endlessly rewatchable IMO. I guess it helps that by then I was ready to say a permanent farewell to Cole despite actually liking most of his S5 appearances :)

The Source Belthazor Barbas Gideon Zankou The Crone The Seer Evil Wyatt Woogy and Shax are history, and the next round is open! Just vote for the two you most want eliminated :)

Lorelai's parents look on proudly as she graduated from business school I'll go against 13, 16 and 18, and those have now been eliminated! The next round is open, and we can shift to voting against just two :)

The Source Belthazor Barbas Gideon Zankou The Crone The Seer Evil Wyatt Shax Woogyman Thanks so much for taking over for me!!! I'm back now and can confirm that Jeremy, Nicholas and Water Demon are history :) The next round is open, and we're down to voting against just two!

I've recently been rewatching and am so much more hooked on this show than I should be. So I guess still loving most of it despite its major flaws is my first UO :) A few other UOs, some of which I think I just formed with this latest rewatch: I could have very happily watched an entire series revolving around just Lex and his father. The acting, the writing, the snark, the amazingly complex dynamic---it's all just pure gold, and it's one major reason why I can never dismiss this show as subpar! That said, I liked Clark a lot more this time around. Or maybe I just love looking at Tom Welling :) Lana bothered me much less than she used to and much less than she still bothers most fans. At times I actually liked her! Lois, though, is even more insufferable to me--arrogant, rude, obnoxious and just incredibly annoying. Also, while I would have preferred a Clark/Chloe pairing (and don't even get me started on my ridiculously deep love for Chloe!), I actually bought that Clark loved Lana a lot more than I bought that he truly loved Lois despite knowing Lois and Clark were endgame for obvious reasons :) The problem with singling out favorite and very much not favorite seasons is that all of them have a few things about them that I really love and some I really don't. But I think if I had to pick my top five in order at the moment I'd go S3, S6, S5, S1 and S2. Or maybe S8? Martha kind of annoys me. I can't justify why :)

I just found out that I have to be out of town until Friday, so if someone wants to take over the game for a few days, please do!!!
