Me too , I watch and re watch it on Netflix as soon as I finish season eight I start all over again . I saw bits of the reboot first episode and thought AH HELL NO!!! BIG THUMBS DOWN . No substitute for the original.
I believe this is good acting....Holly Marie Combs gave life to the character Piper....I don't believe anyone else could have made her as authentic and genuine like Holly did
Good acting is an understatement. She was living that moment. There was no show, just a mother discovering her son. One of my fav scenes of the whole show because that reason.
@@shadapakap I loved Paige during season 4 but since season 5 she overacted too much.. and her acting skills went to WAY worse dunno why. Maybe she wasn't motivated with the character because TBH everything since season 5 became about and around Freebie -_-
I still love this scene, its never gets old, and Piper's expression at Chris' arrive is priceless, she looks at him like she seeing him for the first time....
I think its funny how Piper is always told by others that she's pregnant, she never actually finds it out herself. First Wyatt and the angel of destiny then Chris and his aunts
Hehe - she´s there for a split second i think. when they all write their story in the book. you can see phoebe on her way to the hospital, pregnant. billie babysitting the first two daughters. paige´s son and twin girls and piper & leo with wyatt, chris and melinda at the front door :)
Melinda is also in the comics, which are considered canon. Even though she was conceived while Leo was a mortal, Melinda is still half Whitelighter half witch just like her brothers.
Chris was my favourite male character on the show. He showed the typical Halliwell characteristics brave, determined, responsible when it comes to his family legacy along with his mother's compassion as well as Prue and Paige's superwitch attuide when it comes to helping the innocent.
That one scene shows just how great of an actor Holly Marie Combs is. That expression when Chris walked in was priceless. She was truly the only actress to play Piper Halliwell.
the reveal of Chris to Piper and later Leo was some of my favorite moments in this series. Holly especially killed it in this scene. I'll never understand why she was bumped to 3rd billing after Shannon left because she truly carried the series.
This is one of my favorite mother/son moments on Charmed. I'm surprised that no one figured it out way sooner. He knows the kitchen like the back of his hand. He knows P3 inside and out. He's got the same hair color that Piper has. He has Prue's eyes. And why didn't anyone pick up on his high strung behavior? aka, His tendency to be "a nuerotic little freak".
Yes and he is little bit like Leo when he was younger, did you noticed that too? :D I just knew that Chris is realated to the Halliwell family since he appeared and saved Paige :D
I think it’s funny how Piper is saying she’s not pregnant, while at the time Holly was like 6 months pregnant and already showing immensely. Great acting by all 3 women. 😊
The only i hate about the chris story is that it was too short and it needed to be developed more. He should have been on the show for two seasons at least
When he comes in and she stares at him, she's thinking, "How the hell didn't I know he was my son?" and "All the shit we did to him, he has to think I'm the worst mother ever."
RitaMej To be fair Piper and Leo didn’t know and Chris was so hell-bount on making sure that Wyatt didn’t turn Evil he forgot all about himself until it was almost too late then he finally told Phoebe that he is Piper and Leo’s son! I wish he had told Phoebe and Paige earlier so they could have told Piper sooner. I feel like they ended his storyline way too early with Piper knowing that he is her son. I love the whole (Adult) Chris storyline a lot especially when Phoebe, Paige and finally Piper and Leo found out! I wish the (Adult) Chris storyline lasted longer!
piper when she turns around and stares at him 😍😍😍....how could they not know, his half witch and half whitelighter he also has piper's hair and leo's eyes.......
Out of all the seasons of Charmed post Shannon Doherty S6 is by far my favorite. The time travel storyline just captivated me and really elevated the series and the characters. I loved the depth in this arc, the introduction of Chris Perry Halliwell [future younger son of Piper and Leo], Leo's character development, the humor, the themes of unconditional love/family/devotion/sacrifice. I also loved how this season brought back the warmed of the first couple seasons. S6 brought back the fun because once the sisters vanquished Cole in S5 they lost all their appeal; they just became these unlikable wretches. This season however saved the series and these characters; revamped it and made me fall in love with them all over again especially Piper. Sure there were some silly episodes but overall S6 remains to be the strongest Charmed storyline since Doherty's departure; afterwards the series went downhill nothing could top what they did in S6. I was so invested beginning to end and satisfied when it was finished. I almost wished S6 could've been longer and Piper and Leo could've had more time with Chris when they learned he was their other son from the future; the chemistry between all three of the actors was just stunning and outstanding. I love this series and especially this season.
Agree to an extent. S6 has always been a personal favorite of mine. It is the most complete story with a definite beginning and ending. However, there are a lot of really bad episodes in S6, especially before you get to Chris-Crossed, which is definitely the turning point of the season. I agree that it is too bad the whole Gideon arch didn't last longer. Magic School may have been a Harry Potter rip off, but so what? I really dug it. The whole time when they knew Chris was their son, Magic School, Gideon working behind their backs as the secret bad guy, was a great time but too short. The ending of S6 is fantastic though. Best season ender until the series ender.
I was thinking the same thing both Piper and Leo didn't spend a bonding time with Chris after finding out of his true identity. I love all seasons but maybe I didn't like season 8 that much because Billie and Christy were very annoying specially Billie obsessing with finding Christy and in the end it wasn't worth it because she was evil and she manipulated her and has to kill her in self defense when Christy tried to do so for taking the Charmed ones side at the end.
I think the wacky episodes balanced out the more heavier episodes. The main thing the show had going for it was that even if it was a heavier episode there was still humor in it most of the time to keep it light and airy and it felt very natural with the family aspect of it.
Same loved this season definitely think its one of the more underrated seasons. Alot of people's complaints are off a bit. Like the magic school thing. It's not a Harry Potter rip off. There were magic schools before potter. Like in the worst witch books.
This is one of my favorite Charmed scenes ever. This Arch was one of the best Arch ever. Piper's face when Chris came in. Wow. Chills. Like I remember watching this and laughing cause of Phoebe and Paige it was funny and then Piper's reaction 'how do ya know what happened?' just had me laughing and all smiles but in a second it had me in tears just when Piper seen him. tears*
That Chris had a tough upbringing. His mother (Piper) died when he was so young. (Although when Chris told this 'past- Piper about it, she was pretty unsympathetic about it - with no idea that Chris was talking about her!) His Dad (Leo) fell off the Whitelighter couldn't cope with Piper's death and didn't raise Chris wel. And his brother Wyatt was a totally cold power-tripping powerful magic entity. Chis still pulled it together and chose to be good. Then went back in time and grew close with his mother, who didn't realize who he was - in effort to make future world right again.
But all of this was changed when he travelled back in time ...... Wyatt is not evil , Piper and Leo are happily married and lived full life ........ I saw it in the last episode
straydoggio um, what are you talking about? Chris DIDN’T tell Piper his mom died at all. “Hyde School Reunion” was the first time he mentioned HIS Piper at all, so that’s a lie. Piper is always sympathetic except to her enemies. Leo didn’t “fall off” any Whitelighter anything, he left them to become an Elder and only worried about raising Wyatt because he was Twice Blessed. What Charmed are you watching, Chris explained that in episode “Spin City”.
@@babe6835 His grandad berated Future-Chris for treating Piper like she doesn't exist, and an upset Future-Chris reveals to his grandad, "Because she doesn't exist in my future, okay. She dies when I turn four." Later with Grandad and Piper present, while he's very tight lipped, it does accidentally let slip that something happens to her, and it's clearly serious. It's a fascinating timeline, because she did die for Original-Chris when he was four, and he grew up without her; without love of Mommy Piper. However Future-Chris going back in time, changes course of destiny so she went on to be his mommy for a long time, till she grew very old. Also it was great because Piper had absolutely no clue that Future-Chris was her son, and she got to know him, respect him, and treat him like a nice friend. Only to later a big reveal learn he was her son, and be amazed, and proud, and decide to fight hard for everything.
@@babe6835 Oh I see what you mean. Future-Chris did tell Piper that he grew up without a Mom, and she was pretty cold about it. He was trying to explain that things were very bad in future, but she was roll-eyes about this 'bad-future'. This was all before Piper realized that she was his Mom; therefore the Mom Future Chris had talked about was HER!!!
Oh, this scene stills warms my heart even today. Piper's face when she looks at Chris knowing who he truly is. It's just perfect. And the banter between Paige and Phoebe was hilarious.
-I'm not. I mean, how could that happen? I mean, I know how that could happen but it... What am I gonna do? -Maybe you should talk to Leo about it. -No, I can't. -Why? -Well, because, because, because I can't.
I love how Phoebe looks down at Piper's stomach when she denies being pregnant and Says 'Oh yeah you are' . Since in real life Holly Marie combs was about 6 months pregnant, so Alyssa Milano was looking at her stomach, like 'Yeah you defiantly are.'
Piper is always the last of the sister to find out SHE is pregnant hahahaha same happened with Wyatt... and Phoebe caught it first also then Paige and lastly Phoebe said "she's pregnant!" And Piper was like "who's pregnant?? I'm pregnant???" And all the screams hahaha and then Leo is also last and he is the father 😂
I remember this episode, I was just dying for them to tell her already. But, then another half part of me didn't want them to tell her, because it might negatively alter the future! But, in the end of the series it didn't really. Ha.
No, no, it's good, it's good. I mean, it's, you know, it's not bad. It's a really good thing, it's not a bad thing. I think it's a really good thing, don't you think?
"Elder" is a job title that comes with a bit of power to back the position but he's still just a whitelighter. Like a King is still just a man but his position gives him more power to balance his authority.
I persume because he(wyatt) was born between the time where magic was in disarray. He in a way brought magic back to the world and that is why he is more powerful. While chris just half whitelighter and witch which could still be considering powerful but not with the hole powers inside the womb like Wyatt.
There was a whole host of reasons. Wyatt was born on a witches sabbath, the first child is always the strongest, like Prue was, then Piper. Magic literally went down for 24 hours before he was born, and he had Charmed power on top of all this. Although Paige was stronger than Phoebe, but she had the whitelighter boost too, and telekinetic orbing, regular orbing, healing and sensing are just better powers than anything they gave Phoebe.
Leo’s children are half white lighter for the reasons already listed but here’s a distinction that hasn’t been made. More white-lighter’s can be made but the elder power is usually passed from one elder to his successor. Leo earned the power during a time when many of the elders had been killed. That’s why Chris didn’t try to stop the attack. The elders had to die so that Leo could earn that power. So that it could choose him so to speak. Therefore Chris can only inherit the white lighter power. Another possible reason that hasn’t been discussed, Wyatt was born in the manor on top of the nexus. I wouldn’t be surprised if that played a small role in his power boost. Also the Chris that came from the future isn’t fully like the Chris conceived in season six. It’s because he meddled with things that Leo even became an elder. Future Chris’s father was likely still a simple white lighter. So if he was to get a power boost because Leo was now an elder, then it would be the baby version and not him. Future Chris wouldn’t have the boosted powers until he went back to the future and time caught up with him. Though seeing how there were the major differences in Piper’s pregnancies, I’m going to believe there wasn’t any difference between the two Chris’s power level. It certainly didn’t seem like it when he appeared in the finale.
Fun little factoid: Chris was supposed to be the big bad this season but Holly got pregnant and they had to change his character to her son. That's why in the season premiere he kills that lady from Van Halla or however it's spelled. I've heard the actors say it it interviews so I know it to be true. I'm glad they changed it tho cause I love Chris as her son.
You know I always thought that when Chris came to the past, he changed his own past, he was no longer the son of a wicth and whiteligther, he was the son of a witch and elder so he should have been more powerful. Half witch half elder, therefore have the powers of both
I really miss time with mother and family in our living room in the evening watching charmed. The moment when Piper turns and stares at Chris with the music playing in the background is so magical. Takes me back. What lovely and sweet memories......
Piper was amazing,ever though if you notice her appearance,you will notice that she was really pregnant when shotting this scene...she was pregnant with her first child.
Haha, yeah. But really. Looking back on some of the episodes... when you know it´s possible that someday, somehow any kind of private moment could be seen by who knows who? Thats one point why i find this series so powerful. to be strong despite all of those facts, possibility. trying to go your way.
Chris was like the male Prue. Blue eyes black hair take no prisoners attitude, it was good Chris came because it really felt like Prue was still in the house in some way like how some people get traits from their uncles or aunties.
I always really felt for Chris in this. Normally I don’t like this kind of character but it worked so well and I always used to imagine how hard it would have been to be alone like that but surrounded by family who distrusts you.
This Episode was very crazy Moment for Piper didn’t know about Chris until Phoebe and Paige explains to Piper I think Great finding out from Piper Sisters
