Charmed Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

13. Bride And Gloom
Phoebe turns to Cole for help when a demon tricks Prue into marriage so he can turn the sisters evil and take possession of the Book of Shadows.

My Thoughts:
This is another fun episode. It was really entertaining to get a glimpse of what the sisters would be like if they were evil. This is also the episode that Cole returns... oddly though... as much as I dislike him... I didn't mind him all that much in this particular episode. Maybe because his time was limited a little less then most episodes he is in.

14. The Good, The Bad And The Cursed
Phoebe's visit to a ghost town becomes a nightmare, and when Leo can't help her, Prue and Cole must unravel the mystery to save her.

My Thoughts:
Here we have an interesting episode. Get a little taste of the Old West. Much more Cole in this episode... so that part didn't appeal to me much. But nonetheless I enjoyed it.

15. Just Harried
Piper begs for a demon-free wedding day, but her marriage to Leo is put on hold when Prue is accused of murder.

My Thoughts:
A good episode filled with emotion. Piper and Leo finally make it to their wedding. Of course you know they couldn't make it as easy as that on the show. They also have to deal with that in her sleep Prue is split in two... her sleeping self and her astral self.. trying to get away from all the responsibility that she has. As she finds out that she finally has to take some time for herself instead of only being there for others.

16. Death Takes A Halliwell
Prue faces the Angel of Death while two Seeker Demons destroy everything in their way in order to find and kill Cole.

My Thoughts:
Another powerful episode. Not to mention a glimpse into what will be happening in the show soon. In this episode, like the previous episode, it is Prue that once again learns a hard lesson. Episodes like this makes me wonder if the show was hinting at Prue's end on the show... or if at this point they didn't know they were about to loose Shannen Doherty... and they were doing some major character development.
