ah,great!
I thought season three was an awesome season till the end.

[dancingphalange]

Season 3 was awesome!! I'm in the middle of it right now. I really wish Prue hadn't died at the end. She would've been an awesome regular on the last seasons. It's too bad that Shannen and Alyssa didn't get along.

[¨¨~ J Erlotiel L ~¨¨]

yeah,that was a sad story.

Some of my favorite couples where in season three.

[*~World on Fire~*]

OMG Prue and Cole in one season! That is why season 3 rocks.

[smoothaise]

"Prewitched" is one of my favorite Charmed episodes. It was so cool how they did go back to the past to show the relationship the sisters had with eachother before they recieved there true connection. Everything about that episode was done so well. It's making me want to re-watch it, again.

I don't know...I think Phoebe/Cole was a little overrated. I prefer Piper/Leo, to be honest.

[¨¨~ J Erlotiel L ~¨¨]

I agree with you on the episode.I loved it so much,that although Piper was the one who wanted them to stay together she was the first one to leave but thank God she came back again!

What?! You must be joking. (eyes widen in mock horror) I love Phoebe and Cole they are my second favorite couple on the show, following closely on the heels of Prue and Andy. There are so many good episodes in season 3, the only one I can think of right now that I dislike is "We All Scream For Ice Cream". I love "All Halliwell's Eve" and "Sleuthing with the Enemy" especially.

[¨¨~ J Erlotiel L ~¨¨]

I think all the episodes where awesome in their own way.
But I loved Ph/C too.So there are no complains from me on that season with them.

[*~World on Fire~*]

The only complaint I ever have about Phoebe and Cole is that they broke up!

Season 3 is so awesome, I really think that it is where the series hits its stride before Shannon leaves. Can I just tell you how much I love "The Good, the Bad, and the Cursed"?! Seeing Prue and Cole in cowboy clothes is so funny.

Cole: You have to hold my hand.
Prue: This sucks already.

[¨¨~ J Erlotiel L ~¨¨]

yeah, there were so many new and fun stuff

[*~World on Fire~*]

Personal favorite moments:

• Phoebe's challenge to Cole to prove that he wants to be more than friends.
• Prue getting a power boost from the empathy power
• Piper and Leo getting married
• Prue getting married to a non dull demon
• Phoebe finally telling Prue and Piper that she let Cole go
• The increase in sisterly love, affection, and understanding between the three sisters

[¨¨~ J Erlotiel L ~¨¨]

aww,yeah. I think there was so much more too.That they got to meet their mother again and cam closer to Victor.For example

[electricpeppers]

I think the writing was quite strong in season three, and I agree about Cole. The sparks were flying between he and Prue! Shame nothing ever came of that, although Cole and Phoebe were very sweet for the most part. Any season with Cole is x100 times better IMO.

[¨¨~ J Erlotiel L ~¨¨]

well, I can't really picture Cole and Prue together but sometimes you could see the eye-contact and some chemistry.
