impyLove's A Witch:
Pretty good episode, all things considered. So, I'll cut to the chase.
- Since when can witches throw energy balls?
- Since when do the sisters know of these plasma balls and have a test for them no less?
Good stuff:
- The constant Phoebe mocking. The annoyance references. The trying to get her to butt the hell out of other people's emotions. All good stuff.
- Paige saying wonky. I'm easy to amuse.
- Paige getting an episode and even getting to try and keep it all about her, despite Phoebe's best efforts at swaying things to her side.
- The camera work, for the most part. Wonky in a good non fairytale cutaway sort of ... way. ;)
- The darkness of the episode without sliding into all out melodrama. Nice touch, especially after last season.
- Olivia. Just rather spiffy, although I would have liked her to go non glowy for just a second, other than the picture.
- The quotability of the episode. Just don't ask me for an example right now.
- Piper/Leo tension. Something that's been missing for awhile. Too bad it was then followed by the...
Bad:
- Piper going ahead and attempting the divorce thing. I'm not even sure how the fuzzy they'll go about that considering it was a handfasting and I've got no idea what kind of legal paperwork, if any, that entailed. :p
- The Phoebe-locked in the attic, Piper's attempted peptalk, Paige's skirt at the end scene. It felt all kinds of forced, even by my beloved Holly. Nor did I like the demanding of the potion, but, hey. If it keeps tingly-Phoebe from invading other people's space for even one episode, I might get over it. ;)
- Phoebe's spell and inability to butt the hell out.
- All the energy balls and the fact that these fueding families would be considered even semi good witches, despite the fued and the death toll. Weird. Very, very weird.
Phoebe, to her credit, was mostly tolerable. Annoying at times, yes, but she got to levitate, be mocked, go without the baby voice, and not jump the first guy she saw. If she were like this, or better, more often the world might be a happier place.
And whoever thought up the apple bit? Give 'em a raise. Unless it was Kern.
