Charmed The Complete Fifth Season :: Education by Design Store

Editorial Review
Piper (Combs) and Phoebe (Milano), now with younger half-sister Paige (McGowan) up to speed with her powers, more or less, and "The Power of Three" all living under one roof at the Halliwell manor, are trying to get their respective personal lives in order. All the while, continuing to battle the worst evils that come their way. Oldest sister Piper and her husband Leo (Krause), the siblings' whitelighter guardian angel, are thrilled at the prospect of the impending birth of their child. Yet, dealing with a normal pregnancy is tough enough, but factoring in their unborn baby's use of her magical powers gives Piper cause for concern. Although adjusting to complexities of being pregnant and fighting evil, Piper has the added responsibility of looking out for her younger sisters and still running the Halliwell's successful nightclub P3. It's become a lot to handle coupled with possessing the trio's strongest power – exploding an object or demon at will in addition to the power of freezing, but Piper has proved she's more than capable of carrying the burden. While middle sister Phoebe's career is on the rise, the same can't be said of her romantic life. Recently employed as a popular gossip columnist at a local newspaper, she's gained notoriety for her work, but she's trying to finalize her divorce from Cole (McMahon), the part demon/part human who became "The Source" (the greatest of all evil) and was vanquished, only to cling to life because of his love for Phoebe. Finally over her love for Cole, she's ready to get on with her life without him, unfortunately, after resurrecting himself, he's determined to prove his love for her by trying to do good. Phoebe's martial arts skills, her ability to levitate, the power of premonitions and her skill at making potions have helped vanquish many a demon. Youngest sister Paige has gone through quite a change in the past year with learning of her true heritage, then becoming adept at utilizing her powers of orbing herself and objects at will and getting used to having a family again. Raised by adoptive parents who died while she was still in high school, Paige was used to being a loner, but now she's proved to her sisters that she's up to the task of being one-third of the Power of Three. When it comes to good old fashioned police help, Inspector Darryl Morris (Dorian Gregory) is always there when the sisters need some aide or advice. As "The Charmed Ones," the three most powerful good witches to ever exist, the Halliwell sisters defeated "The Source" but now face the existence of powerful evils still prevalent and looking to defeat them. As Piper, Phoebe and Paige continue to wage war against all evil, they seek to strengthen their sisterly bond as they get closer to fulfilling their destiny.

The best season

2008-04-04
This is by far the best season over-all out of the series. The episodes have really good plots, the acting is good. This is the best season.

How charming!

This season of Charmed was really good, but I didn't like it as much a the first four. Some of the story lines were just way out there, even for this show. Also, I wish it had focused on familyand sisterhood more than it did. Besides that, it was great!

Charmed The Fifth Season

2008-01-12
This season of Charmed is one of the best. But, then again I like all of the seasons. A lot of action is packed into this season, but this is Cole's last season of Charmed. I give it five stars because it held my interest the entire season, and made me want to purchase season's six and seven as well.

Charmed for the Last Time

2007-09-22
The 5th season of Charmed of the now defunct WB show is both classy and trashy all at the same time. The producers make important choices that enchance the girls lives, such as carrer changes and promotions, look out for Phoebe's colum making her a huge star, and Paige finding her magical calling. They also introduce new and exciting mythical creatures such as mermaids, fairytales, and gypsies into the show. However, the writers also make 3 collasal mistakes which forever damage the show. Getting rid of Cole in its landmark 5th episode, after embarassingly enough reducing him to an insane man starving for love is a bad choice. Phoebe never agai nregained the kind of chemistry she had with Cole no many how many actors the writers threw her together with. Plus, Cole's precense in the show is astounding. Not many actors can come into a show in the 3rd season and command the show in the stellar way this fine character did. Furthermore, creating an endless parade of various love interests for Phoebe who towards the end of the season becomes a caricature of the once brazen and sexy self she used to be is another huge mistake.

The final mistake is Piper's pregnacy. The show never did recover from the constant and almost insane attention given to Piper's child which in real life would be neccessary, but in a show about 3 brazen, comic, and strong women completley takes away the desire to see these three as the Charmed ones, which is replaced by the vacant stare of the maternal ones.
The 5th season is both good and bad, sad and triumphant, but believe me this is really the last Charmed season to buy, during the next 3 seasons the Charmed producers take full advantage of not being cancelled by their network and come up with indescribable fluff that can only be enjoyed by someone who isnt used to the power of 3 back in the good ole days.

One of Charmed best seasons

2007-09-18
The 5th is one of my favorite seasons. And to have it in dvd quality rocks!

The audio quality though, not hi-fi.

I'm missing the extras too! I hope 8th season does bring extra stuff.

Season 5

2008-06-21
Season 5 was probably the most sad season of them all. One because Cole is finally vanquish and Leo becomes an Elder leaving the sister alone. One good thing is Wyatt's born and, in the final episodes, Chris's Future self shows up. This season would probably have to be the most magical season of them. I'm talking mermaids, leprechauns, dwarfs, fairy tales, and whatnot. And Paige gets a visit from two important "relatives" she's never met and has to decided if she has room in her heart for anymore family, can guess?? lol I'll give you a hint, she has already met her mother, who else is there?. You'll know the answer to this if you're a true fan like me.

All in all this season hasn't been the most entertaining, but it was interesting.

I love Charned

Charmed, Season 5

2008-05-16
Well season 5 has become one of my favorites now. The episodes are fun and creative I think. Paige is finally learning and growing as a sister and a witch and seems to have bonded with Piper and Phoebe. Paige definitely brings a whole new quirkiness to the show but is also a lot like Prue when it comes to magic. Then there is Cole, I know there were a lot of fans who loved Cole but I was glad to see Cole go, it was time, there was nothing really more they could do with his character. Plus Julian McMahon was/is doing Nip Tuck so bye-bye Cole! That episode is actually one of my favorites, where they "finally" vanquish him, Centennial Charmed. It was good to see Paige use everything she learned about being a witch and a sister. My other favorites are Y Tu Mummy Tambien, it is very entertaining between Cole and Piper since they both are invinceable, the Siren Song is also a fun one with Piper's powers all messed up cuz of Wyatt and her and Leo end up swithing powers, Witches In Tights is also a lot fun - everyone dreams of being a super hero! *Cat House is a good one for Paige...to be able to go back in time to see how Piper and Leo started and to see how Phoebe has changed thru the years. The Day Magic Died and Sense and Sense Ability are good "sister" episodes. And of course the finale with Oh My Goddesses 1 & 2, great finale but sad for Piper and Leo, no matter how many times I watch this one I always cry! *Cat House, there is one scene in this episode where the demon who is going after the Charmed Ones familiar steps on Piper and Leo's wedding topper and crushes it. I never put it together but they had said "well didn't that change history"...Piper and Leo break up at the end so Leo can become an elder!!! Definitely a must by for any Charmed fans :o)

I LOVE THIS SEASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
