Oh, gawd, don't even get me started on the way ALL THREE of the sisters treated baby Chris. It's like they kept him locked up in a closet and "freed" him only occasionally. Ironically, the person who seemed to pay the most attention to baby Chris (other than Victor) was Leo, but that's only because Piper was such a horrible, selfish, neglectful mother and Phoebe and Paige were such horrible, selfish, neglectful aunts in comparison.

Since the contest on the original site didn't allow for a little sister (I've posted my opinions on that) I decided to explain that girl a different way. I didn't and cannot imagine that that girl is Phoebe or Paige's for reasons I have all ready stated, so that left someone who wasn't family. I chose to make a character who was a good friend of Wyatt and Chris. Originally she had one name, but then I decided whose daughter she was and changed it. I decided to make her the daughter of Ava Nicolae from the season five episode "The Eyes Have It". It's not one of my favorite episodes by any means, but I liked the character. And I could see that girl as she appeared there as Ava's daughter. I haven't gone into it in my stories, but since for that story I couldn't have her as Piper and Leo's daughter, that is who I made her. Why she was there, I don't know, but she's about two years younger than Chris, which is what I judge the age of that girl to be.

Re: Favourite Season of Charmed. « Result #8 Today at 3:57pm »
As much as I love the boys, the first 3 seasons still come out on top for me. Here's how I rank the seasons:
1. Season 1 2. Season 3 3. Season 2 4. Seasons 4 and 6 (tied) . . . . . . . 5. Season 5 6. Season 7 . . . . 7. The Kernus AU Fantasy Spinoff (Called "Season 8" by many fans)
As you can tell, I only like the first 4 and S6. I put Season 1 at top, because the sister and witch elements were at their strongest that season-- granted, there's a few episodes I don't like ("Dream Sorcerer" was kinda' lame, and I hated the misandrist undertones of "When Bad Warlocks Turn Good"), but even the worst episodes of S1 still beat out many of the later episodes in terms of quality of writing, character development, and balance of drama and humor. Season 3 had much of these same elements as Season 1, and it produced many awesome episodes, but I put it at second place because this was the season when Phoebe's character began to regress (*cough* Cole drama*cough*), and much of the end of the season was (unintentionally) setting up for Prue's death (*cough* Piper's unnecessarily powerful new ability*cough*). I put Season 2 at third place, because, while I still enjoy it, and it produced many amazing episodes ("Morality Bites" and "Awakened," anyone?), it had a lot of really lame episodes (the worst offenders being the Dishwalla episode, the horribly anti-male "She's a Man, Baby, a Man," and "Animal Pragmatism"), and it had the Gordons in it (HATE Dan and Jenny ).
Seasons 4 and 6 I both placed at 4th, because I like both about equally, perhaps 6 slightly more than 4. Season 4 I mostly liked from "Charmed Again" through "Charmed and Dangerous"-- the first half of the season retained much of the mix of humor and sisterly drama of he Prue years. However, I hated S4 once the Source was vanquished, and we had the Cole and Phoebe, Source and his Queen, crap. That plotline destroyed Cole's character and what was left of Phoebe's, and it marked the low point in "Charmed" history when "Charmed" tried to be more like "Buffy"/"Angel"-- emphasis on dark, overly angsty, unrealistic, and (frankly) boring story arcs over "Charmed's" original emphasis on family/sister drama, protecting the innocent, and keeping a balance between drama and humor (as well as reality and the supernatural). "Charmed" even did a vampire episode at this time ("Bite Me"), which to me, was the beginning of "Charmed's" shameful appropriation of mainstream pop culture fads (*cough* Not!Warts, the pirates, the zombies, etc*cough*).
Season 6, as I noted, I liked slightly better than Season 4. The Chris/Wyatt story, while poorly-handled, brought much-needed drama back to "Charmed," and was the beginning of a wonderful spinoff idea. However, Season 6 did have some awful filler episodes (*cough*"Witchstock" and "Used Karma"*cough*), and this is the season where Not!Warts made its first unwelcome appearance. Plus, the sisters and Leo were increasingly becoming unlikeable this season.
The other seasons, for the most part, I really don't care for. Season 5 had some gems in it (Wyatt's birth, anyone?), but the arrival of the stoopid majickkal kreaturez and the horrible treatment of Cole are major demerits against this season. Season 7, likewise, had a few gems (namely Zankou, Drake, the returns of Cole and Big Wyatt, and the finale), but much of the season was one big waste (Kernus kills Chris and we get Nick Lachey, Brody, and Stupid Avatar Crap in return?!?!? ).
Now the Kernus AU Fantasy Spinoff (Sometimes referred to as "Season 8")? Ugh... Don't. Even. Get. Me. Started.

It's in a way like with Chris' first birthday. It was only cancelled because of her and her craziness about haunting zombies! That wasn't right to do after all Chris had done for them in the past. It just wasn't. I have the feeling she treated Wyatt differently. Do you feel the same?

But whose child then? If it's a Mystery Girl, what friends of the Halliwells would give them their child? I know the Halliwells love the kids, but this would be a mysterium to me. No offense!
