Don't you just love the Seven Deadly Sins?
I mean, works of fiction that use them, not committing them. No siree. Not at all...
Does suspicious look to left and right
The Charmed Ones, Leo and three other innocents get infected with sin and hilarity ensues
If you want to keep up with me on the socials...

"I didn't get hit." Love how Prue says that 😂
Shannen's comic timing was...chef's kiss
Lol the pride talking 😅
This is one of my favorite sort of standalone episodes of Charmed, right next to Sense and Sense Ability in S5. It doesn't play a huge role in the overarching narrative of the storyline, but it's thoroughly entertaining and well-written.
And sometimes that's all we need lol
Fun fact! Sense and Sense Ability was written by Brian Krause (Leo) 😊
It does play some role if you think about Prue's recklessness and belief that she's not needed any more by her sisters.
This episode really lets me know how much Prue's destiny was already laid out before her. Even without the BTS drama, Prue, naturally, would have died in Charmed. Probably sacrificing herself for her sisters. I definitely would be infected with either wrath or gluttony. 😅
There was a sort of foreshadow in this episode when she says “No Demon has defeated me” to Lucas.
I don't believe she would of died at all if Shannon never leave, why would they kill her off they're the charmed one power of 3
@AmoMe2009 that was the pride talking, Prue wouldn't say that if she wasn't infected
I think it’s fascinating to see this episode and how it foreshadows the consistent issues that Phoebe and Piper go through for the rest of the series. Piper always becomes excessive throughout the series whether she’s the Fury, the Valkyrie, or the Hindu God. It’s the same thing for Phoebe regarding wanting to maximize pleasure and minimize pain (Cole, saving her perpetually dying lover, wanting a daughter). Both of their sins were reasons to align with Avatars, and why they chose to fake their deaths. Lastly, it shows that Prue’s presence in the power of three would stifle the other two due to her pride.
I definitely think Paige would be greed based on her past life, her voracious consumption of learning the craft, and her abrupt heel turns from magic to wanting a normal life. Also, her dream man spell episode reinforces that idea, as well as the constant need to accrue the same deference and admiration Prue possessed in Piper’s & Phoebe’s minds.
Ooh I loved reading that perspective :D
See I feel Paige would be Envy, The Sorceress captured the prince because she envious of the love and wanted it herself. Paige was envious of Prue being super witch. At least that's my opinion lol
@@erivida64 I thought that too, but greed refers to an excessive desire for power, wealth and food. Envy, on the other hand, refers to the desire to be in another person's situation terms of wealth, power, success, etc.
Paige’s did not solely want Prue’s position and deference in the family, she also wanted her own independence and freedom from it. She also wanted witch life, whitelighter occupation, and a normal life rolled up in one.
Past Life Paige did not solely want that man, but wanted him to impregnate her and rule the kingdom as a powerful sorceress.
Our Paige wanted it all, baby. And I believe she’s achieved it and was the most successful happy end out of the sisters, imo. She’s a true “yes and” girlie! ❤
@@BetterWithBob will you be doing relationship analysis of the girls? That would be juicy!
Paige is definitely envy, she was jealous and felt inferior to Prue and her achievements. Paige was jealous of Glenn & his soon to be wife, she devouted herself to learning as much as she could in order to suppress her insecurities and feelings of lacking when it came to magic.
I think its safe to say you're the best charmed channel in youtube nowadays and youre a reason why we charmed fans keep the show alive and the legacy going. Its time for a breakdown for the entire series giving us at least two/three years of joy, and i want you to know that i LIVE for these spartacus references in charmed videos, the crossover i always wanted but impossible to happen
Keep going, we got you 🤙
Ps i hope for some spartacus analysis or the finale at least
Thank you so much ^_^ I actually did two series wide videos last year covering just about everything
@@BetterWithBoband us Charmed fans loved you ever since. Don’t forget we are Buffy fans too 🙂
I'd actually love to see an "Anatomy of a BAD Charmed episode" series lol. Loved the "why season 2 didn't work" video as well. Amazing work, keep up the Charmed content, i'm a fan ♡
Aha 'thing bad' content isn't really my thing but suppose you never know
Phoebe is seen as the slutty sister because of a few reasons
1. Alyssa Milano is naturally a very sexy looking woman
2. Phoebe is often dressed in the more skimpy and revealing clothing
3. Cupid in season 2 mentioned she had many past "loves" which adds to her list on the show
4. Phoebe's early portrayal is that of a carefree person and carefree personalities are often subject to be considered slutty
I just remembered the list of potential grudges she made in Sight Unseen, and Piper sees how long it is and goes "you were BUSY in New York"
It's surprising though in the first two seasons to see just how many guys Piper is with, and she's the only sister to juggle multiple guys at once
Omgosh! Thank u 👏🏽👏🏽
I like how they use these references and let them play the idea in the world of charmed. Also reminds me of the pandora’s box episode and the king arthur one or the disney princesses reference episode. As Charmed fans, we enjoy them seeing how these ideas would turn out in the Charmed world.
I think they would always have that line where “Oh, that’s real?” and another sister would respond with “And you’re still surprised after doing this for how many years?”
I just ❤ Charmed. Thanks for the anatomy of the episode.
Please do the Pandora’s box too. That episode was so fun and inspiring to watch.
Now that's one I haven't seen in years!
"Oh Phoebe you know that charming the pants of someone is just a figure of speech don't you!?" Like you I love the stories you can tell with the 7 deadly sins. Even writing a play about vampires each infected by one back in high school. The thing about this episode is that it isn't just about the humor, but the character work is also great. each characters sins make perfect sense for where their characters are at this moment and I love that.
Shannen Doherty played Prideful Prue in this episode phenomenally. Prue not only took charge entirely this episode but also basically narrated the plot along to (us) audience scene by scene in a cool way. The dark scene where the cop attacked the sisters and Prue was the only one left standing(before Lucas kidnapped her) gave Season 1 vibes and was well-directed. I love how the episode gradually focused on the man versus self conflict rather than man versus man or in this case man versus Lucas. The exposition at the end in Prue and Piper’s conversation about what happened was amazing and almost scary with the fact that you can never truly get rid of Pride even with a selfless act.
Honorable mention: Pheobe was hilarious in this episode.
Agreed this episode was amazing, I enjoy all of them in this episode
So Prue was being Prue...got it 😂
@@BlackGirlMarvel remember there sins amplify 100 times more
Chemistry between Prue and Lucas is great! Disapointed when he died!
This is a fantastic episode. The other 3 sins make for good comedy, but Prue's insidious Pride is a twist that raises this episode to another level.
One of my favorite episodes of the show. Love the sisters making fun of Prue for being prideful lol.
Thanks for elaborating about gluttony as well as mentioning the Seven Heavenly Virtues. I learned something new all the time with your videos!!!!
Aww thanks :)
I didn't like this episode when I first watched it but I grew to appreciate it when fully understood Sins and Virtues and it always frustrated me how Phoebe defeated her sin when she didn't show any Chastity-like behavior but I'll accept your explanation because it's does make a little sense and I found that scene where she used her power on the officer's button to get a Premonition of him funny and also confusing because since their powers don't work well while they are infected.
I suppose we can assume they aren't working because they're showing her that rather than warning her that he's about to attack at the house lol
I don't think they were supposed to exhibit the opposing virtue exactly, but just do something out of selflessness as they explained on the show itself.
Also, Phoebe's premonitions did screw up technically! They certainly didn't warn her of the possible danger that was just about to come to their front door.
I always thought that what they did with Pride and Prue was extremely interesting.
Lovely video for a great episode.
Thank you for watching :)
This is absolutely on of their best episodes. It's a great comedy episode with an interesting premise. My only criticism is that the sin of greed got shafted.
Did y’all see the gateway cow print box in the scene where the cop goes to the manor after being infected with anger? Pure nostalgia. PS I just found this channel and love it so much!
I just watched a "Charmed Quotes Tribute" video earlier this morning that edited together various quotes across the show to essentially create new and hilarious conversations between the characters, and I see now that a few of them came directly from this episode: Prue's "That is SO personal gain!" and "You lose, I win, HA!" along with Piper's "Get your sl*tty hands off of my husband!" 😆
Piper is just a fountain of quotes in this episode lol
Could you maybe link it i wanna watch it
@@swaggibaum0832 It's called Charmed Quotes Tribute by evergreen47. Hope this helps!
@@DJtheBlack-RibbonedRose thx
This is one of my all time favorite episodes, everyone was good but Shannen's comedic timing was genius. "You lose, I win, HA!!!" lol I love it.
"when you'Re late to meet friends because you couldn't get off the couch" is a very accurate description of depression tbh
Omg I can’t wait. Best review series ever ever ever
The phrase "Pride is the only sin that can't be beat" basically shape my whole vision of the concept. I'm not into religion but like you I've always been fascinated by the concept of the sins and I got it from this episode of Charmed
Yeah it's definitely a lot to think about. Kinda reminiscent of how Mussolini while taking over Italy would leave the light on in his office after hours so people would assume he was working extra late to make the country better, or be photographed doing charity work
I would like to thank you for not bashing Prue in this episode 🤣
This was a favorite episode of mine that I happened to watched stoned recently. You mentioned a tonal shift when the wrath-sin infused cop shows up with a gun. YO. That got to me big time like wait, the campy fun and games are over, this human is ready for murder. But season 3’s leap in production especially in the first episode was so good. A breath of fresh air, stakes higher, and to see Piper fighting hand to hand is always a treat lmao
I love this episode! It's one of my favorites. My absolute favorites are "Morality Bites" and "Ms Hellfire". I only watched the first 4 seasons though.
Is lazy Leo absolutely adorable or what?! 😂
Like always I enjoyed your analysis. Can't get enough of your "Charmed" videos!
I like the last four seasons for their own merits and there's a lot to love there
Lazy Leo is so hot 😆
I probably would've gotten struck with Lust by Lucas. This is an EXCELLENT breakdown of one of my Season 3 favs! Everyone brought their "A" game, and I bet they had a good time doing it.
Phoebe changed so much under Brad Kern 's era. She used to be carefree, fun, cool, outspoken, man eater. She wasn't interested in mariage, even when she was with Cole.
After season 5, she became whiny, obsessed with love and mariage, needy, She reduced to her annoying love stories . " I wanna find lovvvvvveee, who's the father of my chirldren? Not you, next!" I hate her changement!
I looove this episode :D this is one of my fav of Season 3 and also one of my comfort episodes, it's just great ! If i was being infected by one of the 7 deadly sins, it would either be Sloth or Lust lmao
I love this episode. It's funny and a bit dark. Hope you'll do Primrose Empath breakdown. Prue is so good in that episode.
I’ve always loved season one and found it so relatable.
Now I can PERSONALLY relate to “Wicca Envy” since the day I signed out for the day at work and a minute later was on the phone w the boss defending myself while he accused me of stealing.
I’d used the clock on the wall ( I was always leaving my phone somewhere) to look at the time when I signed out.
No one had set the clock back for daylight savings so it looked like I gave myself an extra hour
I even had my own “Hannah and Rex” work bitches that were out to destroy me just like Prue and were checking my time sheet when I left so they could call and report me.
If only I had Piper’s power to freeze
I'm just discovering your channel ... I will be binge watching your Charmed content now ... Absolutely all time favorite show #ForeverCharmed
Why thank you 😊
I think what's good about this episode is that it holds Prue accountable and calls her out on her Mary Sue qualities (like Woogy Phoebe called her out when she saved Piper from the gas man and how Wendigo Piper called her a know it all). If only we had characters being called out in later seasons. Sure, Phoebe gets held accountable when she loses her powers, but after that it's all coworkers praising her beauties and talents. I mean even Prue had a tough time at work with Claire and other people.
I've been rewatching Julie and the Phantoms and I was comparing them to the Sins. Low and behold the colors matched the characters in Julie and the Phantoms.
Dont think i didnt miss the Pollyanna reference. I am impressed.
I didn't realize how true to the basic concepts of the sins this episode got. Impressive that they put in this amount of effort to get things right.
I'm currently rewatching season 3 (rewatching all of "Charmed" because of coming across your videos, btw), though I'm not at this episode yet (I think it's the next one up). I also got the feeling season 2 was weaker than 1 or 3 so far, which is not something I'd remembered but which I know you made a video about. Though I do think one thing that helps season 3 that I haven't heard you mention, and that you may or may not agree with, is that it feels more... integrated to me than season 2.
For example I think Cole's story really helps it fit together. Obviously in the first episode Cole is introduced and many of the episodes after it have him finding different ways to come after the sisters. "Sleuthing with the Enemy" is basically a direct sequel episode to "Power Outage." Many of the episodes directly after that involve Phoebe coming to terms with letting Cole go. And then "The Good, The Bad, and the Cursed" shows Cole's entrance back into the fold, while "Death Takes a Halliwell" finally has Cole in the role of "the innocent."
"Charmed" obviously was never a heavily serialized show like "Breaking Bad" was. And it doesn't need to be. But I think having some tissue that really ties the episodes together, even if in some episodes it's in the background, really works for it.
I often wonder what Paige’s sin would of been?
I would assume Wrath, since the Source was nearly able to get her to kill a human, and she's very quick to violent solutions by Season 5
Possibly Envy as well, since she compares herself to Prue a lot
@@BetterWithBob yep you might be right 🤔
This is my favourite episode so was super exciting to hear you finally talk about it! The Seven Deadly Sins have also been a life defining theme for me too, so thank you for speaking so many of my thoughts about this story.
I’d watch your reviews of all season 3 and 4 episodes!
Hehe I'm getting there
Literally using this as a fun springboard with my best friend to start a conversation on which sin ball we think we'd get. Another (unsurprisingly) awesome video!
I know which sins my friends would get but I don't have the heart to tell them lol
I appreciate your expansion on those values. I thought maybe it would be also important to state that temperance always have to mean withholding completely. It can me finding balance and the joy that comes with it
Those Magnum seven deadly sins flavours were great, I've long want them to re-release them. I remember the cinnamon flavoured chocolate one the best.
Chick Flick & Sin Francisco are like my Two Favorite Episodes! But Long Live the Queen is like my #1 favorite Episode
its funny cuz 3 is always my go to season
The girls always look flawless!
I will forever Love lazy Leo or Sleo!
I love this episode as it explored their personalities and what and why the sins affected them, also these stories also go back to what we've learned about Grams and other women in their family. Grams was very prideful and reckless with her mouth and her trail of bad relationships with men (some were demon or super natural being), I wish that Shannon had stayed and the show kept the course it was on because I would have like to have seen an episode where Leo who is their whitelighter had no choice but to send them to a magical therapist and shown clips of past episodes and helped them grow as individuals and made them see some their flaws to work on but sadly as the show went on the writers and Brad kern were taking them in many different directions that changed them from who we were growing to know and love and even Paige who started strong was becoming a mess. I enjoy your take on things and breakdowns.
God I remember those magnums. One of the highlights of my childhood
Shannen Doherty really was fucking great in this episode
I really like your channetl. I rewatched the whole series and it´s nice to agree with some statements about it
One of my favorites
I worry that my sin would have been pride 😢
Same out of all of them mine would be pride
That was a fun episode. I may have been infected with either Wrath (my hypersensitivity is at play here), Envy (I am almost never fully satisfied and I keep wanting something to make my life greater) or Sloth (I like doing nothing and just chilling, although my mind keeps racing when I do).
Also another fun fact. Probably unintentional but the 7 deadly sin page gets mentioned in season 1.
Oh very nice. I missed that
After the stream is done, will I be able to watch it from the beginning? I unfortunately arrived super late :( Thanks!
Too late now but even when it's premiering you're able to rewind it and start from the beginning :)
This was a great episode. Love the ending.
Would you be interested in doing a Chris Halliwell video about the character, his story, what he brought to Charmed…?
That would be fun :)
Please look into reviewing one of the best episodes of season 3!!!
Pre-Witched
Charmed: Season 3, Episode 17
"Hello, sleeveless!"
@@BetterWithBob possibly one of the best lines in the series hahaha
Lazy Leo is my hero😂
I related with every single of them hehehe
#relatable lol
Damn Phoebe is so hot bro
She was only 'fine' in January. Someone's falling in love ;)
I'm definitely sloth.... no doubt about it!
"We all scream for ice cream" is an A-tier episode, right?
It has Caleb, the man with the best chat up game in San Francisco, so that's a hell to the yeah 😂
Can you please do a video about how Brad Kern got control of Constance M. Burge’s creation? Because I have looked into this & I can’t find the answers, like: why wasn’t she showrunner of her creation from season 1? why did she leave entirely after season 4? & everything in between.
Constance seems like such a mystery, too, I would love to know more about her in general. Thank you!
There's a video on Cole that explains it all actually
Leo is my spirit animal as a Sloth!
Eldest of three. Can confirm.
As a child of the 2000s when i hear 7 deadly sins i think about how tyra banks made a girl pose in a casket after her friend died 😢
The image of Piper drinking champagne is priceless. She looks beautiful (and I say this without lust, as a gay man).
I never tasted the ice creams from Magnum and didn't know about them before but I checked what their flavours were and I think my favorite would be Greed.
I think I enjoyed that one too
Another hilariously cute moment is at the end, when they're at P3 and Phoebe says something about how she's all "sexed out" or something and would rather talk about pretty much anything else, so she uses the band playing as a way to switch topics.
Phoebe asks what the band's name is, to which one of her sisters - I don't remember which (Piper?) - responds, of course, with... "Orgy.", and her sisters obviously can't help but to be amused. It makes it 10x better once you realize this is a real life musical group (as P3 always hosted iirc), and that, yes, their stage name irl is literally Orgy.
...Also, I must admit, I've always loved this episode as well, but its also gotten me thinking about which sin (& thus corresponding virtue!) I'd be prone to getting "infected" with...? It's honestly a toss-up between Lust and Envy for me, I think 😶🌫
Ah yes according to google, they're still active lol
Phoebe is a whole mood in this episode.
Not gonna lie if i had her powers id use them the same way 😂
I believe the technical term for that is...ahem...Power Perversion Potential 🙈
What video is the clip from when you discuss how Shannen was pushing Prue to be killed off?
can u do the empath prue episode lol
ah and that gloriously 2000s fight scene
thats the whle reason i want u to do it lol@@BetterWithBob
@@materialqueen670 that episode is so good
tel me abt it@@angelaholmes8888
back in the day it would of been wrath for me then pride, and now i wanna say sloth i guess.
I love This épisode so much
Me too XD
Fun fact: if you look closely at the Book of Shadows entry on the sins there's a slight typo where it says diempowered instead of disempowered.
I did not see that lol
There’s also an episode in which Phoebe signs her name, possibly it was the divorce papers, but she misspells her name as Pheobe. I could never ignore it!
I would get slapped with Envy or Pride.
My husband would absolutely get wrath.
Maybe one of these days you should do a video on an episode you hate but specifically try to find the good parts in it.
Centennial Charmed comes to mind but that'll be a challenge lol
@@BetterWithBob Heh maybe than an episode everyone else seems to enjoy but you don't? Or opposite that you enjoy it but no one else seems to.
Bob would you ever do videos on the tv series supernatural 🤔
I would absolutely love to see this as well🤞🏾
❤❤❤
Wow watching season three of the episode Sin Francisco I never knew this episode it was about sins in season three I have heard of the seven deadly sins but I never knew in charge and there was some religious elements and it got me thinking I remember the dark light was in the series in charge and now I’m starting to notice the white lighters they are considered angels but the dark lighters they remind me of the fallen Angel’s we all have seen that we are not aware that we are doing something that we are not aware when people commit sins they don’t realise those were not religious
Would you do a video about dark lighters because something tells me They’re kind of like the fallen angels who were rejected by the elders just like God rejected Satan including other angels before Satan
Hmm that could be interesting. The show never really did go that deep into darklighter lore I don't think so a lot is up to interpretation
YAYYYYY
I remember this episode it was really good but it's not my favorite episode of season 3
This episode is not my favourite of season 3 (it’s sleuthing with the enemy that’s my favourite) I do like it and I think Alyssa is really funny in it with her portrayal of lust
You review Charmed better than the lady . Shes having it personally, Cz critiquing should be about the art and not the artists. 😊
💗💗💖💖💖💖💖💖💗💗💖💖💖💖💖💖
The 7 deadly sins ARE in the bible.
It's in Romans!
"staple of Christan Teaching ... an accepted part of the faith" - sounds like you forget that Catholisism is only ONE branch of Christianity, the rest of us don't believe this. Just look at how Jesus attacks those selling things in the temple, for example - if anger/wrath is a sin, then we have a really sinful savior 😉
I like these videos, though! Before ouat came, Charmed was my favorite TV show 🥰
Le egg
Is that one of the things Piper buys?
one of the best charmed episodes reviews. More episode to come and match with trivia for each part of episode.
I like Piper's outfit in this episode, just not in red. Season 3 is one of my least favorites. Prue/Shannen Doherty is not the end all be all, in my opinion.
Oh wow I have heard a couple people who don't like Season 3, which is surprising, since it seems to be the most popular season
@@BetterWithBob My favorite episode is All Halliwell's Eve of the season. The runner ups are Sight Unseen, Coyote Piper, and a little Bride & Gloom.
Certain hate season 3 because Phoebe lies to her sisters , is obsessed by Cole and lives only for him, and they don't like Prue. And hate Brotherhood arc.
I would love for you to make a video about all the foreshadowing of Prue’s death in the first 3 seasons (her mother’s death, Andy’s death, P3H20, death takes a halliwell etc)
