Season Three - Charmed At It's Top

B. Knox | Right here | 08/24/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The third season of Charmed began in 2000, with the disappearance of Piper (Holly Marie Combs) and Leo (Brian Krause), whom have orbed away 'up there' three months ago in the season two finale. Prue (Shannen Doherty) and Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) are left to fight the demons that attack, and eventually Piper and Leo return.

The third season is a struggle for most of our characters: Piper and Leo try to find a way to still be together, to convince the Elders they can be together and not be distracted when it comes to their duties. Phoebe meets and falls in love with a half-demon, Belthazor, aka Cole Turner (Julian McMahon). At first Cole/Belthazor is to kill the Charmed Ones, but his human half takes over as he and Phoebe fall in love. And lastly, Prue struggles with inner turmoil over various situations, such as finding a perfect relationship, dealing with death, dealing with her responsibilities as an adult and a witch, and of course, with the demonic issues.

The third season is very different from the first two seasons of Charmed, by having more of a seasonal arch, as opposed to monster-of-the-week episodes, which is very common in supernatural shows' earlier days. This season, the sisters are faced with the problems from the Triad (a group of evil beings), Belthazor (Cole Turner, the man/demon Phoebe falls in love with), the Brotherhood (the demonic 'cult' Belthazor was a part of), and lastly, the Source of All Evil.

By the time we get to the finale, Piper and Leo have married, Phoebe is trying to rescue Cole from becoming fully evil, and the Triad is vanquished, along with the Brotherhood. The season finale is definitely the best episode of the season, if not the entire series, and will leave you at the edge of your seat. Now, most people know that Shannen Doherty exited at the end of the season, with Rose McGowan (Paige Matthews) replacing her as a sister in the later part of the series.

The episodes from season three include:
- The Honeymoon's Over
- Magic Hour
- Once Upon a Time
- All Halliwell's Eve
- Sight Unseen
- Primrose Empath
- Power Outage
- Sleuthing With the Enemy
- Coyote Piper
- We All Scream For Ice Cream
- Blinded By the Whitelighter
- Wrestling With Demons
- Bride and Gloom
- The Good, The Bad, and The Cursed
- Just Harried
- Death Takes a Halliwell
- Pre-Witched
- Sin Francisco
- The Demon Who Came In From the Cold
- Exit Strategy
- Look Who's Barking
- All Hell Breaks Loose

Overall, season three is a definite have for any Charmed fan, there is much to enjoy about this season, and you won't be disappointed."

"~ Charmed Season Three ~

Trying to stop elusive demon belthazar the witches enlist the services of a demon hunter. Gift or Curse?

Demon Children and killer ice cream men prosper in this episode. Or is it something more?

Isn't it great to be able to share your tales of demon vanquish with your sisters? Isn't it uncanny how you all vanquished the same demon??

Demons, Cole and Ultimatums.

5-21. Look who's barking
Prue's a dog, Phoebes a Banshee and Piper is going mad trying to put things right.

5-22. All hell breaks loose
The farewell episode to Charmed as we know it. This episode is one of the most moving and one where we will be forced to say goodbye to a charmed one forever. This is what happens when the Charmed ones are exposed to the world and Time is involved.

\ This is one of the most moving seasons of charmed. A landmark in itself. Don't miss it.
