Primal Slayer

Oh is that why? Makes sense.

This episode is the kind of episode where...I don't need more of Gar taking up valuable screen & animation time. We arent moving his story anymore further with seeing that he cant perform at work. We've already seen that he can't get his Superhero on and that is enough for the time being. Put his story on pause until we are ready for a resolution. Apart from that and the usual that we've become accustomed to...it was a very good episode. We saw a very brief shot of all 3 Wonders in 1 place at the same time which has never happened. The Bus mystery is coming to a fun end and if we have to save budget with a minutes worth of flashbacks then this is how I'd do it. I do wonder what makes Child THAT MUCH stronger that a Lord of Order is able to do zero harm. Her being able to crack the Helmet of Fate was....not good for the heroes and I'm interested to see how they wrap it up. Zataras backstory was nice to get... though out of all the changes YJ makes to a characters history, Sindella seemingly being a regular person is not the best one. She is a descendant from Arion, is a homo magi and a reason why Zatanna is as gifted as she is.

Basically lol. They've spent a lot of time just appearing in the background so easy to forget them with everything that happens in the show.

Im surprised that Elizabeth didnt do the podcast. If they even invited her to do it...some of the people they chose were weird.

That's the question on everyones minds. It's the same bus and set of characters that have appeared throughout the show since S1 with no one aging.

Why not? If they can find a storyline for him, especially with how his death was nothing, show the cracks of all this time tampering. Have him transition into a foe for the team. This show isnt exactly giving us any riveting storylines with any of the cast right now anyway.

Seriously...why isnt Book part of Starfleet yet? And Burnams #1? He is by her side for every mission as opposed to the people she works with officially.

I cant believe we are already dealing with more time travel changes when we just had 5 episodes dedicated to time travel changes... But all of this plus Armageddon...should bring back Eddie full time.

Kent Nelson/Former Doctor Fates wife.

It was nice to see Mary Marvel or Sargent Marvel as she is called in this verse. A lot of flashbacks and pictures yet again. Dont really understand why we need to see these storylines with Gar/M'Gann in these arcs just to remind us that they are in mourning over Conner. We could easily return to their stories later in the season and show us that they are mourning all these months later. Zatanna is sadly very much a means to an end in her "arc". She isn't really central like M'Gann/Conner/Artemis were. She is mostly be used to build up Vandal.

They really need to tighten that back up. Between Flash and Legends, it's such a joke.

Mia probably caught up on the history books. Knows Laurel was Felicitys TOTAL BFF, was on Team Arrow, Black Canary and wasn't a fan of Darhk offing someone in the Star City fam.

Just what we need. Another Batmanless Gotham show where they cant use 99% of the A/B-list Bat characters so we get a bunch of knockoffs/2.0s

Overall I think this was probably the best episode of the event so there's that. It felt more event-ish compared to the other episodes imo, at least a coherent one. Thawne coming out with the "save me" plotline did make me roll my eyes. This guy technically shouldn't even exist since his ancestor that helped birth his family lineage is long dead. Let him fade away! It's meant to be. It was nice that the writers probably have given Caitlin the most honest scene the character has gotten in ages with Thawne. It felt like their knock off version of Black Widow/Loki in Avengers. Seeing Mia again was fun but I was like....did we really wait like 2 years for a wrap up to Green Arrow and the Canaries and still NOTHING is resolved? Huh? We just gonna keep drawing that out? Still makes me mad that TheCW tried to be cheap and thus didnt give us the one show we deserved. Though I am partially sad that Post-COIE Mia was basically wiped out to make way for Pre-COIE Mia since she got her Pre-COIE memories back and everything else seemingly is treated as "its fake". How did she even time travel anyway? Did I miss that explanation? Darhk definitely gets the best storyline for a villain doesnt he? I wonder if this will truly be the last time we see him. And how did Nora get transported to his...whatever dimension he was in? Did I miss that as well? I seriously can not believe that they teased us with Bart/Nora messing up the timeline after...we just had AN ENTIRE EVENT THAT CENTERED around MESSING UP THE TIMELINE! And even this should've resulted in some small cracks. You cant be changing things this much and have everything just return to normal as if nothing happened. That fight with Despero...lol...THAT FIGHT lol.. I guess I have to give the writers props for trying to give us something great but it was like watching a PS3 cut scene. But compared to other CGI scenes this show has given us, it probably was one of the better ones. I honestly dont know how i feel about Flash just throwing lightning around like its his main power now. I'm cool with him running super fast and charging up and being able to throw a blast but not all this Lightning out of anywhere like he is Black Lightning Jr. Same with RF.

Once again....a storyline that seemed like they would've expanded more on but dropped. We started S3 out with Prue/Phoebe helping Darryl and then nada after the premiere. That entire premiere could've been expanded to half a seasons worth of stories. Demons inhabiting human bodies is a good storyline.

It was a bit of a mess and I never made it to the end as a child. You could "charge up" and go all super speed/strength on the enemies but it tapped out very fast. That's one thing I miss about the early 00s. EVERYTHING got a game. Buffy, Xena, DA...all my faves. And now WW is finally getting one.

All this Dark Angel talk makes me want to replay the PS2 game. Sure it wasnt the best but...still fun to a degree.

They know they are on camera....of course he is going to ensure he looks good and likely for "continuity" sakes he put on his jacket again. These 2 episodes I feel have been pure OC which has been great.

Especially since the show took place 19 years in the future (2019) and they could set it now in 2040 (shudder). With how much more technology is taking over, it definitely would be perfect for the current generation. Losing access to technology would be an absolute nightmare compared to when we just had dial up lol. Lindsay Morgan could've made a good "modern day" Max.

I could definitely see Evil Phoebe having some type of line about "Now I have the power" "Now I'm the strongest sister" in regards to Prue. I could also see Prue trying to get through to Phoebe but ultimately thinking that their Phoebe is gone and Piper refusing not to give up and stepping up to the plate to lead her/Prue towards saving her.

I think Piper/Leo not discussing everything that a Whitelighter does was fine. She knows the basics and sure it wouldve made her understand being a Whitelighter better but she didnt fall for Leo because of his job. His general personality and great butt was what attracted her to him initially lol. I view Victor/Patty like a modern day Samantha/Darren (Bewitched). He likely wasnt supportive of his children being witches and in harm's way and it was probably a constant argument in their lives. Partnered with them living with Grams and we know that she still actively practiced witchcraft and she/Patty still encountered the occasional warlock/demons even after the girls powers were bound and it just wasnt for him.

Just thinking of the Dahak storyline, it was so good. Hope was a great villain.

Of all the shows that get rebooted, I wish this would be one of them. The general story is just itching to be told again.

Phoebes character definitely peaked in S2 and I wish that version of her had stayed around longer or made a triumphant return later. I think it would've been almost better (and weird) if Phoebe had a child before Piper since Piper was all about family. Not to mention The Halliwells having to deal with a child that could be destined for evil would've been interesting and challenge them in new ways. Or some type of adaption of the Dahak storyline from Xena would've been great. Have the kid grow up super fast and just be evil and Phoebe attempting to save her "child" and Prue/Piper having to ultimately vanquish him.

Loving the recaps. Makes me want to do a rewatch myself though I am holding off until I get the blu rays because I refuse to watch it on Peacock with the new music inserted over the old ones. Season 3 is definitely what Charmed was meant to be tonally and it's a shame it came and went so fast (S3/4).. I loved Natalie and found her a breath of fresh whitelighter air. While I always liked Leo, they really should've used this episode to have him step aside as their Whitelighter for remainder of the season and have Natalie step in so Leo can focus on just being Pipers boyfriend when he isnt with his other charges. They could've had Natalie killed off before the end or by Shax and have Leo return full time as their Whitelighter and Pipers significant other. But it was the perfect showcase of why Whitelighters/Witches probably shouldnt shack up if they are a charge of a whitelighter. I enjoyed this episode lol and the reintroduction of Victor. While the show as fast and loose with retcons, him being Bennett is one that I welcomed. The way I see it, Victor/Patty had an on again/off again relationship with Sam being in there and eventually overlapping. Grams likely did everything in her power to keep Victor away as much as she could but Victor was still a lackluster parent that didnt fight that hard for his kids and eventually just gave up and went on with his life. Not to mention who knows how many mind wipes Grams gave them that could overlap with some Victor/magic situations. But Grams was a great character through and through, a proper prequel series focusing around her would've been great. I always felt there was an interesting story to tell between S2 & 3 where it was just Prue/Phoebe trying to hold things down while Piper is away and they arent able to access her (which begs the questions...how can Leo just leave 2 of his charges for so long) that basically made Prue and Phoebe switch places. Prue goes from learning how to let loose in S2 to becoming extremely paranoid about demons and whats to come and Phoebe goes from being obsessed with being a witch and furthering her powers to putting it on pause to focus on finishing college and becoming side tracked with Cole. Though I have to wonder if Connie was more of a push for Phoebe's premonitions since after she left the writers basically looked at them as useless outside of setting up the monster of the week instead of really developing them like they were in S1&2. Her astral premonitions that lasted all of 1 episode in S5 was such a dope enhancement that could've lead to some really great stories. What could've been is always the best/worst thing when it comes to Charmed. I wish I lived in an alternate world where Shannen had stayed and see how things played out. I know she was pushing for the show to be taken more seriously and get darker so I can imagine things such as Phoebe becoming the Evil Queen would likely play out. Less fairytale episodes, The Source probably would've stuck around longer. Since each of them were supposed to get 3 powers since S1 (there's an interview with Shannen in S1 talking about astral projection), I think they probably would've given Phoebe a better active power and dialed down just how strong Pipers molecular combustion was after she got control over it. It definitely wouldnt be strong enough to permanently vanquish a demon. I could see them bringing back Bane as Prues long term love interest giving the sisters a Whitelighter, a demon, and a criminal for husbands. Phoebe would probably move out for a bit and I could see Piper/Leo doing the same and dealing with Prue feeling lonely in the Manor.
