That’s better (sort of). Even though it grows over a lot of last season’s derivative babble, Season 7 of Charmed is one that I’ve always felt weird about, for a couple of reasons. The first being how much it felt like the show was really ready to finish up, with a sense that things were coming to some sort of a close, but for outside reasons, the girls were forced to live on for another year. It’s something that halts a lot of the significance of what happened this year, with the writers having to dig themselves out of a hole come season 8, even though I’m glad a lot of it was un-done. It does go for broke with some of its storylines though, with the opening arc showing a lot of promise with regards to the ideas that the writers can still bring about. There’s a host of new characters brought in this season, too but, in keeping with Charmed’s tradition, most of them suck.
