Unfortunately (or maybe not) I missed 6-2 but I caught this episode today and I was very, very, very pleased. This was deffinetly one of the best episodes I have seen.

Has Dorian left? He wasn't in the credits. Did something happen ep2?

Paige can become other people! Kick ass power. I've never seen her do that before.

The whole wondering what had happened to Wyatt was really, really clever. I had been spoiled so was wondering if Living had cut the dragon bit but was pleasently suprised at the twist and the clever way the plot was developed.

Holly looked stunning in this episode. (Had to be said.)

The whole exposing powers was great.

This is no fun. I don't know what to say. All the snark is gone. I suppose I could fill time with the only line I snorted at:

Piper: What happened to your head?
Phoebe: You mean the plaster?
Me: No! You're ugly-ass haircut!

But in short: An enjoyable and good episode. Shame.

I always just thought it was a potion...

It's part of her whitelighter powers, it's called glamour and she did it before in House Call a.k.a. Obsessions.

If Dorian isn't in the episode, then he does not appear in the credits. He is still a cast member.

Oh. Did not know that. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I missed him.

I thought it was a fun, fast-moving episode (and I liked the way the producers got themselves off the hook with the CG dragon - if it didn't work, and it *was* admittedly a bit ropey, they could just say 'Well, Wyatt saw a crappy CG dragon on TV, so that's what he conjured up!' Though I didn't see the TV version breathing fire - answer that, Kern!) but the introduction of the Cleaners left a fairly massive plot hole for previous episodes. Granted, vanquishing the Golden Gate Bridge is probably an order of magnitude more visible than some of the Ps' past indiscretions (though I adored Holly's cheerfully cheesy "Y'might wanna take an alternate route to work" as she smirks at the camera), but it's not like they haven't attracted attention in the past. How many people have to witness a magical event before the Cleaners get involved?

More than a dozen, at least, since Leo wiped the memories of the jury in 'Trial By Magic' without the Cleaners having to get involved. Why hadn't the Cleaners been at work in the very witch-exposed world of 'Morality Bites'? How about everybody who saw the TV broadcast in 'Prue Gets Slammed Through A Support Pillar'? Surely Goddess-Piper's little weather snit in 'Oh My Goddess, II' was worth dismissing from people's minds, at the very least?

(But hey, every citizen of LA seems to have forgotten the sun being blocked out for days and vampires freely roaming the streets in Angel, so maybe Charmed ain't that bad...)

Actually, the existence of the Cleaners rather negates one of the main points of the show. We've been told over and over that the Charmed Ones are there to prevent evil from taking over the world - not just the magical world, but the real world too - but if evil *does* take over, then that would surely tip people off to its presence, thus necessitating a visit by the Cleaners. Unless evil takes over so subtly nobody realises. Say, are Bush, Ashcroft and Rumsfeld in the Book of Shadows?

The introduction of The Cleaners was a contrivance so egregious, it...

never mind.

stopped caring awhile ago.

In short, the people who write for this show and approve the scripts are hacks who, once this show ends, should never put pen to paper or computer to printer, ever again.

I wasn't paying attention to the plot in the episode, really, I was too distracted by what was happening off-camera. I kept laughing to myself imagining some poor temp having to wave a duck or something to capture the kid actor playing Wyatt's attention. ("Heeere... ducky ducky! Look nice ducky!")

It just makes you wonder why Kern bothers to do this to himself. Doesn't he realise that doing such incredibly stupid and obviously wrong things to an episode could cause several people to unite and form a plot on his life? Oh, wait... never mind.

I've been a-thinking about why Piper didn't give the Cleaners shit for there absence during "All Hell breaks loose". Does she even remember it? Once time got reversed I'm sure Prue and herself had no recollection of the crazed media stuff.

Maybe a reason the cleaners didn't turn up during "All Hell.." because they knew that the sisters were going to fix it. They knew time was going to be turned back. And maybe this time they knew the sisters couldn't fix it.

Or maybe I'm bending over backwards for an excuse when really...it's that the writers don't have brains!
