What is the show
plot?
|
|
In the first episode we meet the three adult Halliwell sisters
(Prue, Piper and Phoebe) reunited at the old family home in San Francisco six months after the death of their grandmother who had raised the sisters after their mother died when Phoebe was very
young.
Phoebe discovers "The Book of Shadows", written by several generations of their ancestors with various magic
spells, and notes about various evil beings. The sisters discover that they are the Charmed
ones, good witches with the job of defending the innocent and stopping various sorts of
evil. Each of them now has magic powers. Prue has telekinesis (the ability to move things by
though), Piper has the ability to stop time in an area for everyone except good
witches, and Phoebe has the ability to see the future.
The sisters are limited in that they can not use their powers for their own personal
gain.
This is not a static show, the characters do change, the sister's powers do
(very slowly) increase both in ability and scope.

Lyrics:
I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulger
I am the son and the heir
Of nothing in particular
You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
There's a club, if you like to go
You could meet somebody who really
loves you
So you go, and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home, and you cry
And you want to die
When you say it's gonna happen
"now"
Well, when exactly do you mean?
See I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone

Where can I find out about bloopers and why are so many people into
picking on the show |
|
Bloopers are basically plot
holes, amusing accidents or mistake that weren't caught, and made their
way to the viewing public. They can be inconsistencies, like an actor
wearing something in one shot, and it's missing in the next shot or
illogical stories.
Bloopers are no big deal but many people have fun finding them in episodes
they know so well. To find them you also have to watch carefully and
concentrated so it is not the critics who find them in most cases but
devoted fans.
There is a bloopers
section on this site. |

How
do I draw a triquetra?
|
|
Damián has
provided an instruction:
How to draw a triquetra
First we're gonna write the data of the size that we're gonna use: in this
case
radius A (45mm)
radius B (55mm)
radius C (mide 65mm)
The radius C is a helper line that will be erased later ..
You can draw on a paper or anything of any color that you want
Keep the explanation and watch the pictures that are posted:
1. In a point called O, we're gonna pierce with the compass that has the
size of the radius A, and then we draw a circle. (image
1)
2. Open the compass with the compass but this time with the size of the
radius B.
Repeat and draw other circle.
(image 1)
3. Open the compass with the size of the radius C. That will be our
helper-line that we're gonna use next.
(image 1)
4. In a point (point 1) of the last drawed circle (preferably on the top
part), we pierce the compass with the size of the same radius C. We draw a
line that cut the same circle in a pont of the left (point 2). Now we
pierce in the point of the last line that cut the circle and repeat the
sequence over the same circle (radius C)- (point 3).
Now repeat it again and you should have 6 points. (image
1)
5. Without changing the opening of the compass
(always stays in 65mm) we draw a semicircle piercing with the compass in
the point 2. Then repeat it but piercing in the point 4. And then again
but in the point 6.
6. Open the compass 5mm more than before (70mm) and repeat the last
sequence (drawing semi-circles) just as it says. (image
3)
Now erase the helper-line and the little lines that cuts the semi-circles.
Redraw the Triquetra.
When you are done you can cut it and paste it wherever you want; paint it
with any color etc.
note: the pics works with other sizes. If you use them you will have a
big and fat triquetra. But if you use the
sizes that I gave in the explanation you will have a
normal and thin triquetra. |

|
|
Has Buffy ever been mentioned on Charmed? |
|
Yes, two times.
Phoebe: Where is Buffy when you need
her?
in 1x20 The Power of two
and indirectly
Leo: It's true, vampires
have been ostracized from the underworld for centuries. As far as I
know they're a part of a whole different network now.
in 4x18 Bite me
"they're a part of a different network now" is a joke about the
show Buffy (the vampire slayer) switching networks from WB (where
Charmed airs) to UPN.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What happened to Charmed's network, The WB? I heard it
changed its name .. |
|
No, it ceased to exist.
The WB Television Network, casually referred
to as The WB, the acronym for Warner Brothers, or sometimes as The Frog
(referring to the network's former mascot, the animated character Michigan
J. Frog), was a television network in the United States, founded as a
joint venture between the Warner Bros. film studio and Tribune Company on
January 11, 1995.
On January 24, 2006, CBS Corporation and Warner Bros. Entertainment
announced plans to launch The CW Television Network in the Fall of 2006.
This new joint venture network features programming from both The WB and
UPN. The WB shut down on September 17, 2006 followed by the opening of the
new
CW Network. |

Where can I find
blueprints of the manor?
|
|
The
only site that has them does not wish to share. Therefore I will not
promote the site, pls. google yourself.
Keep in mind that these blueprints are fictional. The real set is laid
out on one floor in the Paramount studios and the "rooms" switch use
whenever needed. The blueprints follow the design of the manor as it is
claimed during the seasons and does not take into account the
disappearance and appearance of rooms. |
