And the character of Abbey should have been followed up on. Like my idea of Abbey becoming a pawn of a Warlock or Demon who would exploit her desire to be Prue for their own gain. Of course, the sisters would manage to save her.

In my own fanfiction series Abbey was just obsessed with Prue like she was on the show which was showcased more when you saw her take pictures of Prue in a prior story when the sisters were outside P3 and then she was seen writing in her diary later after Prue, Piper, Phoebe, and Melissa came back from colonial Virginia with Abbey's locker showing the developed photos, Prue's perfume and cosmetics plus wine glass Abbey stole also indicating something wrong about her.
Also Halliwell manor has air conditioning and will keep having that even in the 'Oh My Goddess' story plus the sisters have always locked the front and back door but just haven't had double locking yet or an alarm system having never had a non demon or warlock break into their house before then which they get and is used each time they come through the front door punching whatever code's needed if they haven't orbed in otherwise.

So cool you guys did so lots of this in your fan fiction series.
I get why the Cafe didn't enjoy these episodes, they were written by new male writers joining the show, not the ones we all came to love in S1 and S2.

Last week's Sight Unseen wasn't as good as 'All Halliwell's Eve'. Most people didn't like Phoebe and Cole's scenes and the way she acted in that episode with some stating this was the start of PhoEme. Had Cole not been in season 3 Phoebe wouldn't have ignored Prue's concerns about the stalker maybe being demonic even though they turned out to be human then. That bit was one thing members did enjoy showcasing other evils beside supernatural ones although they would've liked Abbey's obsession with Prue portrayed more prior to the episode whether that was her writing in the diary, stealing Prue's cosmetics or taking more pictures etc. One other thing was the inconsistencies seen like with the front door not been locked which they done in season one, the AC being turned down when they never had air conditioning season 5 finale plus the fact you never saw any alarm system after Prue mentioned Leo installing one at the end of the episode which Classic Charmed Done Our Way will surely fix. With this weekend's episode 'Primrose Empath' the best bit about that was Shannen's acting and how you felt Prue's pain feeling the world's emotions. Leo and Piper and Phoebe and Cole's relationships weren't entirely liked. Some thought Leo should've been around Paige's age in general and not a person who died in 1942. Another thing was Prue's sudden martial arts abilities although she'd done classes before that obviously and how that should've been exclusive to Phoebe her powers not being strong as Prue and Piper's then although Shannen wanted Prue to do that actually because it took away a bit of uniqueness from Phoebe which certain people mightn't have enjoyed. Thanks for sharing this. I totally get and agree with most of those. I do get why the Piper/Leo and Phoebe/Cole relationship was awkward, and it's true, they both should have been around the sisters age, or a little bit older. I don't see why Leo couldn't have fought and died in the Gulf War, then he'd be closer to Piper's age. I'm sure Classic Charmed Done Our Way will surely fix these episodes. I agree, Shannen's acting in 'Primrose Empath' was fantastic, she did a great job.

And don't even get me started on that idea that he was born in 1924, which would have made him 18 when he was killed in 1942.
First of all, he looked much older than that (Brian Krause was 32 at that time).
Second of all, in Love Hurts, he told Piper that he had enlisted right out of Medical School. Unless his name was Doogie Howser, there is no way he would have been in Medical School that young!

Yeah, we all couldn't stand Piper/Leo and Phoebe/Cole's awkward lunch date. We also picked up this one was written by a new male writer, and can so tell he doesn't know any of the sisters at all.
If this one had just focused on the A Plot with Prue, and cut out all the awkward stuff with the couples, it would have been graded higher to an A.

This was when Kernus started driving out all the good writers.

I wonder what Cafe members think of Power Outage over the weekend. I wonder if it was an improvement from the previous two episodes. The beginning of the end of Phoebe, who becomes PhoeME in the next episode.

It was better than the last two episodes Kyle although they didn't like it being Cole centered with the first and last scenes featuring him which should've been the sisters instead.
They did like Andreas as a demon though and what he could do in terms of anger etc.
Some members wanted Cole to have stayed evil like he done in his first episode or had Belthazor only seen otherwise so he truly wanted the Charmed Ones dead and not had him fall in love with Phoebe though her scene when she went to his place after fighting with Prue and Piper was acted well emotionally.
And yes this was also the ending of Phoebe which I'm sure CCDOW would fix as well then.

They don't like Cole being the center. They're in for a LONG stretch!

I wouldn't know what CCDOW will do with Cole obviously but even before this episodes rewatch I had an idea of using Andreas myself in my fanfiction series instead of the Source using the Hollow to take Mel, Piper, and Paige's powers with him attacking the new Charmed Ones after the triquetra on the book broke making it harder for them to vanquish the Source still without working out their differences like the OG set did before finally locking him away obviously.

I guess they could just remove Cole, like they removed Rex and Hannah.
How many seasons are they planning?

Not sure as they normally discuss CCDOW via PM's so I don't know how many seasons they'll do of course.
In terms of Cole if they did keep him he might stay evil and not fall in love with Phoebe and just straight up try to kill them after worming his way into their lives as the Triad wanted.
Cole probably wouldn't kill the Triad either then.

Be interesting to see what they come up with.
Of course, I'm going to have to wait, since I'm still persona non gratta at the Cafe.

Yep, we are SO looking forward to fixing the arc that turned Phoebe into PhoeME.
