That's such insightful analysis, rue! I agree that Lana's journey is often about gaining control over her own life and figuring who she is outside of the blandly perfect ideal that she's often held up to be. The problem (for me!) is that it felt like the writers didn't know who she was outside of that blandly perfect ideal, so we were often left with...you guessed it...that blandly perfect ideal ;) I find your ideas really interesting and will keep them in mind as I rewatch! This is definitely one of the best episodes of the entire series IMO. It's one of the few but major reasons I find S7 well worth owning :) So as a fan of both Lex and Lana, what did you think of their relationship? Was it a 'best' or worst for you?! Did you want Lana to end up with Clark? And I also share your fascinating with Lillian Luthor...all things Luthor, for that matter. If I had the discipline and talent, I would love nothing more than to write fics that delve further into their family.

I added the ones you mentioned, Lady C, though without your awesome descriptions attached :) Feel free to start voting against two whenever you guys are ready! 1. Piper, Prue, and Phoebe get sent back to the 1970s to prevent the pact between Nicholas and Patty (That 70s Episode) 2. Piper, Prue, and Phoebe go to the year 2009 to stop Future Phoebe's death from coming true (Mortality Bites) 3. Phoebe travels back to the 1920s to stop her past life from killing her (Pardon My Past) 4. Piper, Prue, and Phoebe get summoned to the 1600s to save Melinda Warren's life (All Halliwell's Eve) 5. Prue and Cole enter a time loop in the 1800s to save Phoebe's life (The Good, The Bad, and the Cursed) 6. Paige, Piper, Phoebe, and Leo go back to Medieval Times to stop the Evil Enchantress (A Knight to Remember) 7. Paige and Leo go back to Paige's teenage years to help Paige's guilt (A Paige From the Past) 8. Piper has to go back in time to save her sisters' lives (A Witch in Time) 9. Chris travels back to the future with Bianca (Chris Crossed) 10. Paige, Piper, and Phoebe travel back to Grams' hippie days (Witchstock) 11. Lady Godiva and Dyson are accidentally conjured into the present day and history is changed briefly (The Bare Witch Project) 12.

All Hell Breaks Loose 18. Centennial Charmed

Yay! My work here is done ;) A lot of the ENFPs I know are just incredibly vibrant, spirited, energetic, positive, emotional, resourceful, adventurous, slightly unique people, and that's how I see Chloe. In my experience they also tend to be a bit too impulsive, reckless, and to sometimes make choices based on what they're feeling rather than what they objectively know to be prudent or right, which, again...Chloe, at least IMO! No type will ever fully fit anyone, but overall I agree with what I've read about her being an ENFP. I'm also almost sold on Clark being an ISFJ.

Rue, did you like Chloe more with Ollie and once she was over her feelings for Clark? Just curious! Of course, a lot of the characters were more grim and less spirited and lively by that point in the series anyway IMO, including Chloe. And please tell us more about what you like about Lana! I love hearing how others perceive her because sometimes I really struggle to wrap my mind around who her character was supposed to be. I really do try to like and appreciate her more, and sometimes I come close to succeeding :) I feel oddly validated that Lois made a lot of our 'worsts' lists :) I was trying to repress my memories of that one :) It also didn't help that Clark and Pete had such awkward friendship-y chemistry. I mean, Clark is supposed to be kind of stiff and awkward and, for understandable reasons, guarded (and reminding myself of that is key to me enjoying the character---and Tom Welling's performance---a lot more!), but somehow he and Pete just didn't seem like authentically close friends at all to me. Chloe and Lois bonding as cousins tended to make me cringe as well, though, so maybe I'm just not thrilled with how this show wrote friendships? Clark and Lex's frenemyship, though? A definite 'best' for me :) Speaking of which, how about your favorite non-romantic relationships? I would go with Lex/Clark, Lex/Lionel, Clark/Chloe, Clark/Jonathan (sorry, I know many dislike Jonathan and totally get why!) and Chloe/Lex, because the relatively little we got between them was really fun and interesting to me.

Ha---Lady C, I tend to block out most of the non-Henry, non-finale aspects of S8, but you're absolutely correct that Piper was particularly selfish, whiny and petulant then :) I did like her need to try to cook for and nurture the dreadful Christy and Billie in S8, but that's about it. It's just interesting to me, because I so often hear in other places about how Prue is snippy, impatient and too joyless, how Paige is bratty and whiny and how Phoebe is selfish and cares too much about her own life, and to a large extent I agree, but IM(U)O Piper has all those flaws in equal or greater measure and is still almost universally regarded as by far the most likable sister among nearly all the fans I know. I can see why people find her relatable---I'm sure that many people would have similar reactions to Piper upon finding out they were witches and to some of the challenges they faced along the way, and I know a lot of people like her sarcasm and snark. And I really do like a lot about her, but I guess my UO is that for me she's arguably the most problematic sister, not the least. It reminds me so much of Luke Danes---he, too, is this perpetually cranky, negative, bitter, super complaint-prone guy who nearly every other fan adores and who I have trouble with, so clearly it's just something about how those kind of characters do (and don't!) come across for me. For some reason I tend to be drawn to fictional characters with more spirit, enthusiasm, joy and slightly better attitudes---probably in part because I sometimes struggle to maintain those things in myself :) Objectively I do get why she was miserable and angry and pessimistic a lot of the time, but that doesn't mean I especially like seeing it on my screen! I feel like if the writers had indicated she had legitimate issues with anxiety and/or depression, I'd empathize with her a lot more---and during the times when I do connect with Piper most, it's when those fanwanks are securely intact in my weird little mind :) Because I know firsthand that depression and anxiety do make people really irritable, pessimistic, reluctant to embrace any type of deviation from plan, etc., so for me that would explain so much about her. But then it often just seems like she doesn't have legitimate emotional/psychological issues---just a kind of put upon martyr thing going on, a high degree of self-pity and a surprisingly nasty bite to her sometimes, so at those points my attempts to love her more kind of falter :)

Pete was just such wasted potential, you know?! It seemed like the writers gave absolutely zero thought as to who he was supposed to be beyond 'friend of Clark and Chloe.' I feel like in nearly every scene he was just kind of THERE. I certainly don't actively dislike him, but I feel like if you magically erased him from canon, very little about those beginning seasons would have been different. Weirdly enough, Lois may actually be my very least favorite of the major characters. Don't even get me started! And I actually like other iterations of Lois Lane and think Erica Durance did what she could with the role, but I just found Smallville's Lois completely insufferable. As for favorites: Chloe, Lex, and Lionel are kind of the holy trinity for me :) Sometimes I wonder how the same writers who created characters I love as much as I do the preceding three could have created other characters I find so incredibly disappointing! I would also include Clark (though it took a couple of rewatches for him to grow on me---but I really do have a thing for such fundamentally kind, decent, brave, earnest but imperfect heroes, especially as there are relatively few of them around!), Oliver, and I've really come to appreciate Jonathan and Martha. Who do you guys feel were some of the best and worst villains?

Agreed, though at times I think the writers made them too similar, leading to far less defined characterizations and relationships among the sisters than we got during the Prue era. I pointed out some differences between Phoebe and Paige in an above post, but sometimes it's hard to get around the fact that Phoebe had been the independent, curious, warmhearted, impulsive, intuitive, restless, spirited, adventurous, creative, slightly 'quirky', searching youngest sister trying to make up for a rebellious past and the most enthusiastic about their witchcraft and helping innocents...and, well, then suddenly all that applied to Paige, leaving the suddenly ill-defined, blandified, self-absorbed Phoebe as consumed with her career and her men and, ugh, don't get me started on how they ended up writing the character who I hold the UO of loving more than any other sister during those first couple of seasons :) (And we know I love them all, so that's saying a lot!) Anyway, nearly every fellow Charmed fan---even the ones who love Piper most---seems to feel that Piper got at least a little snippier, ruder, more bitter and just plain less likable in later seasons, but I'm realizing that I actually think she was at her worst in S3, especially that first half. For me, that's when she was whiniest and most complaint-prone with the least valid reasons to be. I mean, yes, she went through phases where she was perpetually pissed off in later seasons, but at least that was often over major issues like the death of her beloved older sister, her husband constantly being taken away, her kids being in danger and/or dangers to others, etc., so I understood it even if it wasn't always especially enjoyable to watch. But in S3 (and to a slightly lesser extent in S2 when she can't stop moaning about the Dan and Leo love triangle the entire season and was never happy regardless of the current situation), she's just forever pissed off and discontent---and letting everyone know about---over stuff like Leo's proposal not being just how she wanted it and not having her ultimate dream wedding and whhhhhyyyy can't she have a "normal" life and she's selfishly going on "strike" even when innocents desperately need them...and it's just so frustrating to watch. And as much as I think HMC does some terrific work on this show, there are many times when her just-sucked-a-lemon, smile-free facial expressions and biting, snappish line deliveries make the character less likable and enjoyable than she could be for me. I'm trying to love you as much as everyone else does, Piper---try to make that a LITTLE easier, okay?! ;)

I'm a Myers Briggs fan and was interested to see that Chloe is often typed as an ENFP. Initially it didn't ring quite true for me, but I actually think it fits---and is consistent with my trend of often loving ENFP fictional characters despite definitely not being an ENFP myself. A lot of people typed as ENFPs tend to just have so much spirit, vibrancy, warmth etc., and I just really find myself drawn to that. What do you all see as Chloe's greatest strengths and weaknesses??? Any answers will assist me greatly in the fanfic I'm about to start but will probably never finish ;)

Andy, I was just saying in another thread that I actually love S4 way, way more than I ever expected to, so I'm excited it's included in your golden era! What would you guys name as your favorite, most rewatchable episodes from each season and/or from the series overall?! Oh, and another bests and worsts: Which five characters would you name as your very favorites? Which five are your least favorites?!

I think I kind of love S4. I know many think it's the nadir of the series, but the more I rewatch, the more I really like a lot of it. If I'd had more coffee I'd be rambling about the reasons why, but since I'm caffeine deprived, you guys are spared :)

Agree with bkwurm and GH on...well, pretty much everything :) I'm inspired to rewatch from the beginning, though with frequent use of the fast forward button! And I know this is a simplistic view of it, but you guys have helped solidify how I've always felt that Lana wanted Clark but for various reasons never could have truly supported and embraced his role as Superman, while Lois loved world-saving, 'exciting' hero Superman but never truly loved Clark. (I get we were supposed to think otherwise, but Lois just seeemed to genuinely think she was way too 'cool' for Clark, and I never saw her as truly loving him or even connecting with him well). For me, only Chloe truly embraced, supported and loved both Clark AND Superman. And she was also, to me, more Lois-y in the best ways and as I'd always envisioned the character than Smallville's actual Lois :)

I found this way funnier than I should have---it's a satirical commentary from a guy who watched Fall without any prior exposure to the series. Warning: he really did not like the show or the main characters, though Luke fans will appreciate that the guy refers to Luke as the only adult on the show who acts his age. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWzXSyE-4g8

I always get this unwanted image of Logan patronizingly patting Rory on the head while he calls her Ace. "What a cute little would-be reporter you are! Good girl!" But that's probably because of my UO that unlike many here, I don't feel that Matt C elevates the writing for Logan-his performance actually makes the character worse for me. He's always smirking and just kind of oozes smugness, smarmy insincerity and condescension. He doesn't make Logan come across as remotely "charming" to me like he's clearly supposed to---just phony and patronizing. I actually prefer the idea of Rory/Logan on paper to onscreen due in large part to Matt C and his (again, IMUO) relative lack of chemistry with AB, especially during the original series. That's just me, though. I can see why others would find the actor a lot more appealing than I do.

I know, right?! I felt like her Parenthood character had all of Lorelai's worst flaws and pretty much none of her strengths. So I realize there is far deeper and more insightful Rory/Logan analysis going on and more substantive issues to comment on, especially in the wake of the revival, but my UO is that I just cannot STAND how he calls her Ace. It's a small, silly thing to care about, but for some reason it drives me crazy. (I know, I know--that's a short trip :)) I get that some think it's endearing, and I'm usually a nickname fan myself. But the Ace thing...it's this feeble attempt at cuteness but is somehow just so forced and makes Logan come across as even more condescending. And it's a name far better suited to a puppy than a person.

I'm never clear on exactly when Mary fell in love with Matthew, but I totally agree with your general point---Mary has a lot of flaws, but I never minded how pragmatic, ruthlessly unsentimental and even borderline mercenary she could seem when it came to protecting the family's estate. Based on what I've read, that's realistic for many of her class and era...plus, IMO Mary/Downton was the show's real One True Pairing. ;) Seriously, she cares deeply about her home, her family's traditions, financial security, honor and legacy, etc., and it can seem like those are fairly snobby, materialistic values by today's standards and maybe at some points even by HER day's standards, but Downton and her family legacy was all she knew and loved. Loyalty to Downton and the importance of making life choices that would protect the family's estate seemed to have been instilled in her whole life. Downton was her whole world, and she saw it as her ultimate purpose and duty to protect it. And while I am in no way excusing much of Mary's treatment of Edith throughout the series, part of me wonders if that's where some of her resentment of Edith comes from---Edith just doesn't love Downton like Mary does, and isn't really expected to protect it and sacrifice for it like Mary sometimes is. Edith is free to seek fulfillment through a different type of career, to carve out a life for herself in London etc, while it's always just seemed understood that Mary's life revolves around Downton. And as much as she genuinely loves Downton, being so tied to it and expected to base all her choices on Downton's welfare could probably feel like a burden...especially with a father who nearly loses the family fortune almost every single season ;)

This is awesome---you guys will be among the only two or three people to read the Mary/Blake fanfiction that I'll never actually muster the motivation to write ;) Seriously, I get why many dismissed him as the 'possibly gay best friend' type, but I loved how his jovial, laidback openness counterbalanced Mary's..Mary-ness :) I feel like he brought out a more genuinely happy, relaxed, fun loving side of her. I could see them having a Nick-and-Nora type banter and genuine rapport. He was actually one of the show's only 'significant others' who had actual personality to me!

On GG?! NEVER! You must have the wrong show. ;)

I keep forgetting to mention how much I love the title of this thread. Just thinking of Frasier's smooth, perfect-for-radio voice assuring Seattle that he's listening makes me smile. So now I'm done with S5 (on the second episode of S6, in fact---have I mentioned that I have no non-Frasier life at the moment and am totally fine with that?!) Since I'm almost halfway through, I wanted to challenge myself to evaluate the series so far. Favorite season: If I had to pick just ONE, I think I'd go with S3. Five favorite episodes so far: Since I've finished five seasons it felt appropriate to pick five favorite episodes...until I realized that it's hard to narrow down my list to fewer than about 30-35! For now, though, I'd say that the ones I could see myself rewatching most often are (in chronological order): The Matchmaker, The Candidate (maybe because parts of this one feel so timely?!), Frasier Grinch (I LOVE the way this show does holiday episodes---and I'm not usually a huge holiday episode fan in general!) Moon Dance, A Lilith Thanksgiving (as I've said, I just adore this show's holiday episodes...and, for that matter, adore Lilith!) But I could very, very easily have gone with several more. Five favorite characters: Niles, Frasier, Daphne, Martin, Lilith (apologies to Roz, Eddie and even Maris---I love you all!) Biggest surprise so far: Niles sleeping with Lilith. I'm still not over that and may never be :) Runner up: Roz being pregnant---and how I actually LIKE that she's pregnant, as that's normally not a favorite plot of mine :) Most odd/unpopular opinion so far: That I really kind of love Lilith and am holding out faint hope for a Frasier/Lilith reunion :) I promise not to keep hijacking this thread---I'm just so excited to find people still up for discussing this amazing show that I was decades late in discovering!

I have one that is really unpopular even by my usual standards: While Emily is a really compelling, interesting character, I never quite got why she's absolved for being so nasty, hypercritical, elitist, snobby and often downright mean while Lorelai and Rory are excoriated (often justifiably, but still!) for every flaw. And as deeply, irritatingly flawed as Lorelai and Rory are, Emily can be more pointedly cruel than Lorelai and Rory combined. It seems especially true after this revival: Emily's flaws are either dismissed or twisted into something positive (like said meanness being perceived as admirable ''sass" and strength). Even before this revival, though, I feel like Emily gets a free pass or even praise for words and actions that other characters would be raked over the coals for. And as long as I'm probably making myself even more unpopular here than my Luke and LL-related opinions do, I may as well as add that I also disagree about Lorelai being mostly at fault in her relationship with Emily. Is Lorelai immature, overly dramatic and all too prone to perpetuating their endless dance of dysfunction? Absolutely. But I'm virtually alone in nearly always getting where Lorelai is coming from during their many (many, many, MANY!) conflicts and often even agree with her. It is REALLY difficult to have a close relative like Emily in one's life. She judges and belittles her at every opportunity, seems to use criticism in lieu of any actual warmth or affection, has very rigid, narrowminded expectations that Lorelai is forever punished for not fulfilling, and can be unbelievably petty, manipulative, spiteful etc. And that's not even getting into stuff like her blatant, underhanded scheme to split up a then-happy Lorelai from Luke. Regardless of how I personally feel about LL, that was appalling---and, frankly, something Lorelai forgave her mother for more readily than I would have. It also seems like a typically AS_P-esque falsse dichotomy that every parent has to be either overly strict, rigid, distant, cold, judgmental etc (Emily/Richard, the Huntzbergers, Paris's parents, Mama Kim for part of the series) OR BFFs without boundaries (Lorelai/Rory). (Or not there at all, haha). In real life, most parents I know are very much in between those extremes! Again, I'm not intending to depict Lorelai as some sort of innocent victim here---she's very, very flawed (often maddeningly so, lol) both in general and in her relationship with her mother in particular. But there seems to be a general 'Emily is the absolute BEST and everyone else with the last name Gilmore is the absolute worst!' sentiment around the internet, and for me Emily, while in possession of some good qualities, is every bit as problematic as her daughter and granddaughter for pretty much the entire series, and at times even MORE problematic.

Sadly, I'm very used to really rooting for two people to become a couple only to feel really disappointed in how they're written once they finally get together, so I'll keep my expectations moderate :) Ha---that's an understatement!!! I'm so torn. If I'd just heard about this without watching the episode, it would have seemed like a borderline jump-the-shark moment for me, but as always, the show pulled this off better than I would have expected :) So on one hand, this was a really sharply, smartly written episode in many ways. Daphne and Martin's manic anxiety over Lillith's imminent arrival was perfectly done, and I loved the scene in the hotel room where Frasier, Lillith and Niles attempt to psychoanalyze why Niles and Lillith slept together---interesting, funny and with some valid points on all sides. And god bless that poor room service guy! But on the other and currently more dominant hand...I just don't love that the show went there. I love Niles to the point where he's already an all-time favorite fictional character and have even come to love Lillith far more than I thought I could, but even just seeing them in that bed together..*shudder* I think my cringing will be eternal :) Mostly I'm just hoping this doesn't crop up repeatedly as a source of tension between Niles and Frasier. I love the brothers' relationship so much, and while I get that it has to have some conflict, finding Niles in bed with Lillith feels too soapy for this show. Also...there's some tiny, shameful part of me that wanted Frasier and Lillith back together. There's just something about them that I love---and that makes me feel as if they still could/do love each other. Clearly I hate myself ;) Romance is a part of this show like nearly every other show, but despite my gushing over Niles/Daphne, it's actually fairly low on the long list of things I love about this show: I'm in it for the humor, the smart observations, the warmth, the charm, the family relationships, the occasional insights into psychology...and, of course, Eddie! I'm loving S5 despite a few questionable choices and am almost reluctant to move on to S6 because so very, very few shows stay good past five seasons, and I've warned that the second half of this series is markedly inferior to the first. Then again, even sub-par Frasier will probably be better than almost anything else on TV to me, because I'm just that in love with this show. I hope to find myself right there with you!

I've always considered Reid my favorite character, but I don't view every aspect of the show through an automatically pro-Reid prism and am definitely not among those who thinks the character and actor can do no wrong :) Case in point: I felt his scenes were really off this episode. It seemed like he was underacting at certain points and overacting at others. I have a sick parent, and so Reid's angst over Diana should really resonate with me---but, due to some combination of the writing and acting, it didn't. I'm so torn on Prentiss's return! As usual, I like the actress and want to love the character. I feel like I could, but somehow they always just seem so all over the place with how Emily is written. Who IS she?! Is she an introvert or extrovert? What are her primary personality traits? How, if at all, has she supposedly changed since we last saw her? I would love to hear people's thoughts. I actually liked Cherry and how her savvy helped her to navigate her way through this ordeal, but overall I was just kind of "meh" on the episode. And I'm really meh on getting yet another new team member despite liking the actor because, good lord, this show can barely ever bother to define and develop the characters they already have! It already feels like the team is too large as is, almost none of whom have distinctive personalities, specialized areas of expertise, etc. If the vast majority of the team members are interchangeable and don't bring different skills and perspectives and personalities, what's the point of having so many of them?!

I want you guys to know that I'm using what very little willpower I possess to resist looking at Indeed's spoiler but can't promise I'll stay strong :) Thanks for tagging it, Indeed!!!

If you guys would be up for that, let me know! If not, pretty much any other idea is more than fine too :)

Ha! Well, obviously, she's absolutely stunning---I just LOVE looking at her. ;) Seriously, I can see why some would think that never seeing this character is too much of a gimmick, but I think it really works here and love piecing together little things about her just from the way she's described by others. (Like I'm gathering she is painfully thin and never, ever smiles and seems to routinely wear outfits that cost twice as much as my first car!) The show paints a very vivid picture of her personality despite the fact that we never (I'm assuming never...?!) meet her. And while obviously her relationship with Niles is a train wreck, there's something oddly sweet about how dearly Niles still wants to make things work despite her being so indifferent to him and the fact that she's so...Maris-y :) The one where everyone goes as literary characters and my beloved Niles drunkenly tries to propose to Daphne and ending with OMG ROZ IS PREGNANT?! I really loved that one. I'm tempted to say it's one of my all time favorites but, let's be honest, I could make that claim about at least 30 or so episodes so far and I'm only up to Ain't Nobody's Business If I Do. Once I'm done with this first of what I already know will be many viewings, it will be interesting to see which episodes emerge as the most rewatchable favorites for me. I would love to know which seasons/episodes you all consider favorites and least favorites! I think so far S2 and S3 are my favorite seasons overall, but I really do love them all and still can't claim there are any episodes I dislike. I was wrong, however, in claiming that I loved literally every character---I'm not a big Sherry fan. I definitely preferred Maureen. It's not like Sherry takes anything away from my love for the show, but let's just say I don't miss her when she's not around :) I'm torn on Roz/Frasier---at times I really, really like the idea of them together, at times I mildly dislike it, and mostly I'm somewhere in between :) Mostly I like their dynamic a lot as is, and if it eventually becomes more, I'm sure I'll be on board with that. I'm not the least bit torn on Daphne/Niles, though---I already want them together more than almost any TV couple ever. I'm not usually a huge fan of couples who seem to have so little in common, but these two just WORK somehow, each balancing the other out and just seeming more happy and alive around each other even though they're still just friends. Um, yeah, so exactly when does that happen again?! (Just kidding---I kind of like not knowing! It's always in the back of my head that the next episode I watch could be the one where my beloved Niles and also beloved Daphne finally become a couple...though I must admit I'll be pretty disappointed if it doesn't happen until the end of the 11th and final season!)

Seriously, you guys have my admiration. I can barely break away from the series for an hour or two to work (how DARE my job imply it should take precedence over my Frasier binge-a-thon?!), let alone wait a week in between installments. Like I said, I can be patient (by my standards, lol) regarding Daphne and Niles because I know they get together at some point. (Though it's actually kind of fun not knowing exactly when or how!) But the show is just so insanely engaging and addictive that I can't stop at even just a few a day, let alone one per week like you intrepid souls had to do when it first aired! I'm actually interested in how the show was perceived back then. Are there characters/storylines that people initially disliked that they grew to love? Did a lot of fans want Niles/Daphne and/or Frasier/Roz to get together? I feel like our notions of humor change so much that even some shows more recent than Frasier feel a little dated, but for some reason Frasier's sharp (yet never cruel) wit feels kind of timeless to me. I'm guessing that if it first aired today some might have issues with a few of the jokes about sexual orientation and what could be perceived as "slut shaming" of Roz, but I'm not offended at all---there's such a warm good nature and genuinely kind spirit to this show even when they're trading barbs. And it's actually FUNNY to me, which, for some odd reason, the majority of sitcoms aren't :) I'm noticing that nearly every season has a Christmas/winter holiday episode...? Do you seasoned fans rewatch those around this time of year? I'm already sensing that will become a new annual tradition for me :) I even changed my picture on here, as you guys can see...um, not that I'm obsessed or anything ;)
