Things That Squicked You Recently....

[Fourever Charmed]

This didn't reallt squick me so much as piss me off and make me scream, but I didn't want to make a new thread. (Though I guess you could say it does make me squick to my stomach. And that's not supposed to be a funny pun either.)

@*(*&*^@% Astronomy! I spent 12 hours solely on writing twelve extra credit assignments for my Astronomy class with the intent to do 50 and that doesn't even count the time I spent watching shows on the History channel, reading books, reading magazines, sorting through online websites for valid articles so I could have "mulitple sources" like she wanted and then I even bring them in an hour before class starts and then sit down and study after I give them so her. She reads some of them before class starts and tells me, "Wow! You know how to write a sentence...you don't know how many of these I've gotten that have 'like' every other word or that can't construct a sentence." They were all between a page and a half long with a minimum of two sources but most had three or four. She basically says mine were the best she's recieved. And so when class is over and everyone is gone I ask, "So after looking at some of them, I was wondering how many points you think you might give for them?" She says, "Uhh...you turned in twelve right?" A huh. "Well....I might give you about...six points? Maybe..." Six points, for ALL 12! What the f***?! She tells me they're the best she's gotten, I put over 12 hours into writing and research, and she has the nerve to give me a HALF POINT for each assignment? What a waste of my f***ing time. Excuse my French, but @(^%!*^#(*^#^%$!!!!!!!

I should've just withdrawn from the class. It's going to severely screw up my 4.0. She can't teach worth crap. The whole class is doing badly. But nooo, I actually had the nerve to think things would get better. That if I worked my ass off, I could make it work. How big of an idiot am I?

Six points. I shudder to think what she gave the other people. What? A .2 of a point? If mine were the best and I only got .5 of a point on each paper, I just....

I don't even feel bad about the bad evaluation I gave her now. WNC requires the students fill out anonymous evaluations at the end of every semester which the instructor must be out of the room for and turned in by a student so that they can't try and read them. Then the notes, if any are left, are typed up by people in the office and after final grades are posted, the instructors are given their evaluations. It was the first time I've ever given a bad evaluation and I felt really bad, but after this...no.

[/END RANT]

With that said, I have my Astronomy final this afternoon. Goodbye GPA.

May I use this thread to rant, Camille or should I make my own??

[Fourever Charmed]

lol For some reason that made me laugh. Probably wasn't meant to, hey, thanks anyway.

And go ahead and rant your heart out. This thread is open to everyone.

[Chris]

Okay so this week went fast. Ok, that's good. But than...Wed. came along. School was okay...but than I got home right? Well I was at the computer when I heard this chomping noise. I turn around and my sister is chewing loudly on a f****** candy cane!!! But earlier that morning when we were leaving for school she didn't turn the TV off and the remote was RIGHT BESIDE HER!!!!! It makes me SOOOO angry when she has the freaking remote sitting BESIDE HER and doesn't bother to pick the thing up and turn the TV OFF.................

Ok back to the candy cane... she kept on chopping away right? Well than I began thinking of all the times she's told me to chew softly or whatever...but I knew it was a candy cane but she could've done it SOFTLY... I was talking to two of my best friends on IM too...ok so I started to fidget right? Than out of nowhere I was like "I'M GOING FOR A WALK!!" My sister was like "Okay." So I went on the walk. I walked all my way around my neighborhood and mind you, I NEVER walked around the neighborhood before...except on Halloween but it was dark out so yeah. I have been out on Halloween since I was like...seven. SO....I thought I'd get lost but I didn't really care at all...I needed to get away from my sister's annoyance and just think with fresh air....it just annoys me when my sisters does stuff like that so I just wanted to scream BLOODY MURDER....

That felt good...rant over.

[Fourever Charmed]

Insurance companies.

Their utter lack of a conscious squicks me (and pisses me off)!

And the damage done to the car Grandpa gave me due to the tire blowing out at 70 MPH also really turns my stomach.

[Chris]

Okay so I posted this comment on youtube about a month ago right?
So it said "I wish they'd make Zelda games for the PS2 sometime" since Sony and Nintendo could sign a contract...I think.(I know when I read it today since I posted it a month ago, I completely forgot about it but I thought it was a stupid thing to comment myself) Anyway someone replied to my comment today and they called me an idiot. And here's another thing. When you go on a Youtube video and see that someones comment was marked as Spam and you read and you find it it's a compliment like "I love the video! Awesome job!" And people thumbs it down! I don't get it, I think it's people doing it just to be mean but whatever. Yeah that's it.

[Fourever Charmed]

Chris, I agree. I've noticed a lot of that goes on on YouTube. Plenty of people on that site are just asses. I swear, there are people who just go out to report videos and spam good comments for no reason...or maybe they just have nothing better to do with their lives. It's rather pathetic.

[Chris]

I haven't been here in a long time, so I think I'll rant about something...

I really HATED how the last two episodes of Charmed panned out! Seriously I mean "Kill Billie VOL 2" is so freakin' stupid! I mean... I like how they added those two hot demons(Nomed and Zohar) Anyway I love Nomed. So awesome... BUT they could've at least given him a better name. I mean who wants a name that's "Demon" spelled backwards? Even though it's kind've a Charmed Humor thing...(For all those who do not know who I'm talking about please go to the Wikia page at the bottom of this rant). Um anyway, Kill Billie VOL 2... yeah let's just go to the Series Finale shall we?

LAME! LAME, SO LAME!!! I mean why would they bring Patty and Penny to the present, from the past? Why couldn't they just summon Penny and Patty to help Piper get Phoebe and Paige back? It can't be too hard to make up a freaking Time Travel Spell...Chris did it and he fixed the stupid future! The whole Coop ring thing is...well...LAME! I'd prefer Spells or something along the lines of Witchy thinking...not stupid Cupid rings. Which brings me to another thing... Why do Cupids need a ring to use their powers? I mean think about it: Whitelighters has powers in their bodies, Darklighters has powers in their bodies...witches has powers in their bodies...would the appropriate phrase be "Powers in their blood"? Um... well Leprechauns uses a Staff...but that's not the point! The point is, is that Cupids should have powers in their blood, and not a stupid ring!

I love, love, LOVE Wyatt and Chris... you all know that. But I did see something in the scene where they came back from their time...well I saw TWO things I wasn't really happy about. One: Um Wyatt doesn't know who Grams was? He turned what? 26 since the seventh season so that means he's been a witch/white lighter for 26 years and he hasn't even seen a single picture of Penny or for that matter hasn't even SUMMONED her in his life? That's just stupid! "Oh I'm a witch, and I can summon my dead relatives! But I never summoned my Great Grandmother and I have no idea what she looks like!!!" PFFT! WHATEVER!! Wyatt should've known who Penny was... it's a freaking GIVEN since he's a Halliwell.

And now for the second thing: How in the WORLD did Wyatt lose his powers in his time? They just assumed it was The Blonde Bimbo witches, BUT!!!! In season Six, didn't Phoebe and Piper say whatever happened to little Chris, happened to big Chris IN THAT TIME?! So wouldn't it make sense if Future Wyatt's powers DIDN'T get stolen in the FUTURE?! I know people, Time Travel is a complicated, headache giving subject, but still. Future Wyatt should've never lost his powers in the first place. STUPID!

Yeah that's all I got. Please feel free to either agree or disagree with me on this rant. I would love to see your guys' opinions on the two final episodes of "Charmed". And if any of you wants to see who Nomed is, please go to the link below:

Thank you!!!

[Astral Echo]

I agree. If you wanted to pull off a fat, fanwanking reunion for the last episode, you could of at least done it with some kind of taste! But no, this Charmed, we have to make everything as big and inconsistent as we can make it...but then Kern always was a cheesy, ignorant bastard!

A less cheesy way:

---

Piper returns to Phoebe's condo where Leo tells her there is nothing they or the Elders can do to fix what has happened. Piper stresses that there must be a way and if anyone would know how, it would be Grams.

Piper summons Grams, who is joined by Patty, who explain that if witches could bring back the dead then no one would ever die. If it was possible, Grams wouldn't of had to have raised the sisters on her own.

Leo asks where his boys are and at the mention of Chris' name, Grams asks how her great grandson traveled back in time. Piper says she doesn't know. Patty is strictly against it, claiming that if they squish a butterfly, they could change a whole string of events. Piper says she doesn't care, getting her sisters are her priority, the rest is tomorrows problem.

Summoning Chris from the future (joined by Wyatt), Piper asks how to he was able to travel back to the past. Chris is confused, unaware of his alternate selfs former deeds. Grams rephrases the question, asking how if he could, how would he go about it. Wyatt blurts out that Grams should know as she wrote the spell! Chris is angered saying it's information that could ruin the future. Grams suggests that they were meant to tell her as the spell has been written yet.

As Grams and Chris begin work on a spell, Piper and Patty reflect on the what ifs, beginning with what if Piper and her sisters had done something differently, not gone after the Triad first, maybe her sisters would still be alive. Patty refers to an event from the day she died, something we don't know, claiming that had she not gone and visited Victor, she never would of gone to the lake to reflect and witnessed the Water Demons antics for herself. Piper mentions that Prue also used to go to the lake to reflect, Patty tells her that she already knew.

Wyatt and Leo prepare a potion that will allow Piper to keep her powers when she travels back, one he proudly proclaims he came up with himself. They share a moment also and Wyatt assures his father this is meant to happen, Phoebe and Paige are alive in his future.

Leo returns with Victor and the boys. Patty comforts a distraught Victor and Penny jokes that men can't handle their emotions and better than they can their magic!

Armed with a spell and a potion, Piper and Leo prepare to go back in time. Patty reminds them not to change anything and Grams tells them how the spell should work (by concentrating on the time and event they want to go to).

Piper overshoots. She arrives back in 2001 and watches as Prue is thrown through the wall (her face isn't shown) and then herself. They hide in the cupboard under the stairs as Shax scans the room before killing the Doctor and leaving. Piper walks out clenching her teeth, painful memories flood back to her. She walks over to the hole in the wall and looks remorsefully down at herself and Prue. Leo argues that they should go...if they change anything, it could have repercussions on the future.

Reading the spell again, they take themselves to 2003. Piper complains that the spell doesn't work and they'll never save her sisters. Leo hushes her as he hears voices from another room. It's Phoebe, Paige and Chris discussing how the sisters believe Leo has abandoned his wife when she needs him most, as she is destroying the city with her goddess powers.

Leo wonders off, Piper who has been intrigued to hear what her sisters have to say, relecutly follows him into the kitchen. Leo can't figure why the spell would of brought them here. The Angel of Destiny appears. She explains that this is where it started, after Prue's and then when Leo became an Elder, the sisters lost their way. Billie and Christy weren't far wrong and now Piper has to make a choice, she has to realize the error of her (and her sisters) ways or else the spell will never take her to the time she wants. Piper accuses Destiny of intervening, Destiny tells her that she hasn't and that this is her path and her choice. If she chooses to accept it, learn from it and ultimately change her ways - then she'll be able to save her sisters. If not, they will stay dead and Piper and Leo will be returned to the present.

Destiny leaves. Piper is furious, claiming she has no right. Leo tells her that this the path that has been chosen for her and she must accept it or else she lose her sisters. Reluctantly Piper reads the spell and the couple arrive at a new point in time.

Basically she'd keep jumping forward, watching all the bad decisions, wrong choices and ambiguous moves that they have made over the last four/five years in a bid to make her see the error of her ways.

Back in the distant past at the Condo, just as Nomed and his friend walk in. Piper and Leo appear through a vortex and Piper promptly blows Nomed and then his friend up. Piper flashes back into body. Paige and Phoebe are confused and they all watch as Leo fades away. Piper tells her sisters that she has no time to explain but that they need to listen.

At Magic School, Dumain is briefing the Triad. He explains that they need more power, that they need the Hollow. Orbs appears and the sisters come in armed with potions. They throw them at the Triad spirits and they explode in a fiery vanquish. Before Dumain can move, Piper explodes him. Paige jokes that it was easy, Piper says that was the easy bit!

Appearing at the Manor, there is a battle. Christy throws fire at Paige who orbs it at Billie. Piper blasts Christy as shes off guard and the older Jenkins sister hits the wall behind her knocking her out. Billie thrusts out her arms and chucks Paige and Phoebe flying. Piper tries to talk her down, claiming she's changed and so can her sisters but only if Billie helps. Billie doesn't believe her, Christy is proof that she can't be trusted. Piper tells her Christy will be fine, she just needed her out the way so they could talk, she explains that they were being manipulated by demons, by the Triad. Billie still doesn't believe her saying there is no proof, Piper says that Christy is proof - if Christy was good, she wouldn't want to kill the Charmed Ones, she'd want to help them see what they have become.

Billie still doesn't believe her. Grabbing out a teleportation potion she turns to Christy. Piper says that it's a shame she feels that way and begins reciting a spell. Paige and Phoebe, who have since stirred unnoticed join their sister in reciting a spell. As a half transparent, magical, white and blue wind begins to circle the Jenkins, Billie starts shouting at them, what are they doing!? Phoebe pauses and shouts that it's their only option, Paige pauses also and claims that it's for the best.

Suddenly to balls of light shoot out of Billie and Christy and disappear into the sky. They are powerless. The Charmed Ones stop chanting as Billie frantically tries to use her power. Destiny appears with Leo, she tells Billie that her sister has been abused by evil and exploited by the Triad and that the only moral way to stop them was disarm them.

Destiny also tells the Charmed Ones that their destiny is over and this is how the battle was supposed to end...but now the sisters must learn the same lesson Piper has to continue their lives as witches, if not, she'll back for their powers too.

She disappears. Billie apologizes. Piper accepts on behalf of her sister...but jokingly says that only applies if Billie helps to clean the Manor! Billie laughs and the four women hug as Christy stirs, she's awake. She asks what happened, she can't seem to remember anything. Billie, thankful that her sister isn't evil any longer, lies and tells Christy that she took a tumble down the stairs. At the end, Coop and Henry (who is confused but relived that Paige is okay!) heart in, asking what they missed.

Later, we see a similar scene to the original. Except Phoebe doesn't mention marrying Coop or having children. She speaks out how while her career takes off and that her and Coop have begun an intimate relationship, she still has time for the important things - like saving innocents. Paige speaks about concentrating more on her whitelighter duties, explaining that with Piper and Phoebe saving the innocents, she can protect her charges as they rarely ever need the Po3. Her and Henry are still together and are eagerly trying for a family. Piper's story is very much the same, without Leo at Magic School and that she and her sisters have learnt not leave behind their responsibilities or their roots. She does reveal that she is pregnant again.

And that's a wrap folks.

[PhoenyxAngel]

Two words: Centennial Charmed.

There's just so many things that piss me off about this episode.

For one: lack of continuity. Now, I do understand that Charmed and continuity don't necessarily go together....but there's so many errors in the show. Like the elders confirming there was another sister. Even though they shouldn't have any knowledge of her at all. There were a lot of others since I was constantly yelling at the t.v.: "No! That's not right!"

Then there was the fact that they completely ruined Cole....I mean: slapping Phoebe? Come the hell on. And why the hell did Phoebe and Cole even become so messed up in the alternate reality? How did Cole become the ruler of the underworld in this reality if they never defeated the source? If they didn't then he couldn't have possessed Cole....

And why the hell did Cole think that Paige was the beginning of their (Cole and Phoebe's) downfall? Wouldn't it have been when he was possessed by the Source?

Gah....I don't know...this episode just pisses me off every time I watch it.

[Xenith]

Don't get me wrong...Centennial Charmed was pretty bad....my biggest issue with it being the ending. I despise that ending. (second issue being Paige's antagonizing attempting to kill him in the beginning...not her place.) An alternate universe Phoebe vanquishes Cole....complete bs which ruined any emotional impact of the scene for me. Knowing that wasn't the real Phoebe, that this Phoebe barely seemed to care about Cole. IMHO it would have been much better for Cole to have caught the potion and offed himself, or sacrificed himself saving Paige from the Source (whom the Seer was supposed to be summoning in yet another promising plot point that went nowhere.) having actual realization that he and Phoebe weren't meant to be...instead he went out on a cocky one liner. Grrrr.

With that said, compared to "6x11 Witchstunk", and various S7 & S8 atrocities are much much worse in the continuity front, and so I feel the need to defend/rationalize a few things...

Like the elders confirming there was another sister. Even though they shouldn't have any knowledge of her at all.

I quote Leo "They confirmed your story that there was in fact another sister. Only they didn't know until it was too late, until after the Source had already had you killed." Honestly I don't see how that is at all a continuity violation? They didn't know until she was dead. If the Source had his personal assassin kill someone it only makes sense that TPTB might question why. Or heck, whose to say that someone like the Oracle or the Source didn't brag about it and word eventually reached the Elders.

Then there was the fact that they completely ruined Cole....

I dunno I don't at all see Centennial Charmed as ruining Cole? To me it was the inconsistent writing of the whole first part of S5 that ruined him (Like how it was pretty much stated in Sympathy for the Demon that when the powers were removed from Cole, that he was back to being "good" and the pre-Source possessed Cole from S4. Then that was completely ignored by everyone and he was just crazy for no apparent reason...and the character became more of a caricature than anything. Not good, not evil, not relatable...) So to me Centennial's big failing was that it didn't really redeem the character or at least give him any real clarity that he should have had for his sendoff.

I mean: slapping Phoebe?

I'd have to watch again, but I kind of thought it was more of a thrust than a slap? Phoebe grabbed his arm when he was making a Flaming Ball of Death, and after her sisters get away (having just gotten a slice of him to make a vanquishing potion) he thrust his arm out throwing her off. It was definitely very forceful and angry though...but honestly fairly understandable from his point of view. She had just aided her sisters in getting a chunk of his flesh to vanquish him...he was pissed and lashed out, and the realization that things still weren't working was kicking in. (At least you would think that until the stupid ending where he is back in denial.)

And why the hell did Phoebe and Cole even become so messed up in the alternate reality?

Umm...Phoebe was not evil. Cole was the Sources right hand man. Source had killed her sister and created hell on Earth...not hard to see how Phoebe would be unhappy in that scenario, even if she did have some feelings for Cole.

How did Cole become the ruler of the underworld in this reality if they never defeated the source? If they didn't then he couldn't have possessed Cole....

He wasn't the ruler of the Underworld. One of the Avatars even called him the source's "right hand man". And as I mentioned before the Seer was threatening to contact the Source when she thought Cole was acting strangely.
Cole was not possessed by the Source in this reality. He was just Balthazar. (Keep in mind that contrary to what Cole says he isn't changing the timeline of the Charmedverse timeline the rest of the show takes place on. He is instead creating an alternate spin off reality from a given point. (Like CRR is to the Charmedverse) The two realities exist simultaneously independent of each other (which is hinted at by Paige at the end when she notes that time kept moving)....so Cole being Balthazar in timeline #2 doesn't create a paradox if that's what you are referring to.

And why the hell did Cole think that Paige was the beginning of their (Cole and Phoebe's) downfall?

First you have to remember that the Cole who made the deal with the Avatars to gain this "ultimate power" he was already rather mentally unhinged, whether that was a result of his rejection by Phoebe, a result of being under the influence of demonic powers, or some combination of the two is an issue for a different matter...but the fact that he wasn't behaving and thinking rationally at the time is undeniable. So take the fact that Paige turned the COs on him when he was the Source, and multiply that by Paige having just tried to kill him....and it's easy to see how he could let his anger toward Paige distort the cause of his issues with Phoebe to being all because of Paige.

I am absolutely LIVID right now! I was on Youtube looking up Passions videos(the soap opera) because I was bored and wanted some memories right? Well I came across this persons video and I immediately noticed IT WAS MY VIDEO THAT I UPLOADED TWO YEARS PRIOR TO THE UPLOADED DATE ON THE STOLEN VIDEO! I was immediately livid, beyond belief and the first thing I did was comment the video. After that I went to their account and posted another comment showing people they stole MY VIDEO. The person messaged me and said "but I do give credit all" So I went back to the video they stole from me and NOWHERE did I see ANYTHING saying "Originally uploaded by AndrewPerryCrane" I F'ING HATE STUPID THIEVES!!!!!
