Me: 100 episodes of charmed. *snifflie*
Allison: Heh. Yeah, and look how they celebrate it...
Moi: They killed Cole for us. And leather Piper.
Still moi: Darryl got a wife. One we saw. And did I mention leather badass Piper?
Alllliiiiiisssoooon: lmao
Yes! Hope for that. And I will save my hope for more leatherbadass Piper. If vamp willow can come back on Buffy, I say leather Piper can fall through a loophole somehow. it's charmed. throw a pebble in any direction and you'll find a plothole, dammit.
I fluff my own ego, thank you very much. ;)

Welcome to Bizarro World. Paige Matthews shall be your guide, and make sure you keep up because we'll be flying by this reality as fast as humanly possible.
That, btw, is my biggest problem with an episode I liked but couldn't bring myself to love. They ran through it, waving madly to the inhabitants but never stopping long enough for me to think, "Hey. Cool." Except the Seer. Who is, apparently, hung up on Cole no matter the reality. But at least in Bizarro World she gets a spiffy dress and not some robe and huge earring.
That said, I liked the concept. It actually makes sense [gasp!] for Cole to try and use magic to fix what he thinks broke him and Phoebe up. And it also makes sense that he'd see Paige as a major obstacle. And since it wouldn't make sense to, oh, I dunno, prevent himself from turning into the Source [as then they might actually have to let the girls defeat the Source first go round], preventing the Charmed Ones from being re-formed works just as nicely.
And then we run through the fun stuff. BadAssLeatherPiper gets to go all badass once. Sure, she spends the rest of the episode prancing around in her leathery getup, but dammit, for the one person who's been on the show longest, she didn't get to do crap. Bah. Her major contribution to the episode was to not die when Cole sent them flying. *sigh*
Skank-A-Phoebe [bizarro Phoebe, okay?] had a nice dress, but way too much jewelry. I find it both funny and a little sad that she and Cole still couldn't work things out, but I'll be damned if I can figure out why they were together in that reality. Did she just stay with him after the underworld thing with the Source, or... what?
And I'm glad that Paige was our tour guide for the evening. Can't really say much, except that I found it pretty contrived that she was pondering moving out. When in doubt/stuck, have a Halliwell sister want to move! Brilliant. *eye roll* But, on the flipside, her flying/falling/shrieking after trying to off Cole? Cute. ;)
Cole himself was rather psychotic, but not quite as fun as I like. Still, not overly annoying. I felt sorry for him, cuz he really did seem hung up on Phoebe. Then again, even after finding out that Phoebe was getting nothing out of their relationship, he still didn't see anything wrong with the reality. Obsessive and delusional, and all the more tragic. Poor guy. And yet... not.
Random stuff: Piper pigtail braids! Yay! Didn't like Phoebe's fluffy hair either time. Blah.
I thought "Eve" was "Ava" [or was it Eva?]... did she change her name when she changed actresses?
Yay! We get to sort of meet Darryl's wife [does she have a name?] and he makes it to Bizarro World with an explination of why he's working on the darker side.
BadAssPiper in Leather [purrrrrr] was fun, even if she didn't get to do much.
Why is it always a blonde trying to get Cole [other than the Seer and Phoebe]? Weird.
Quotes!
