Forever Charmed

Report done for my visit to Gillingham yesterday, and watched the last episode of Season 8 of Charmed , "Forever Charmed", where Billy realizes that she and Christy have been maneuvered by the Triad to steal the power of the Charmed ones and to vanquish them,by releasing the awesome power of the Hollow.

Both sides used the Hollow with fatal consequences , the death of Paige and Phoebe and of Christy. Piper , with Coop's ring,goes back in time with Leo to try and save her sisters. With gramdma and Patty they reset time ,and with help form Wyatt and Chris from the future get the Charmed ones together to finally defeat the Triad.

Billy realizes her mistake and saves the charmed ones from a fireball that Christy hurls by resending it back killing Christy.

"The next day, Piper comes downstairs with the Book of Shadows to Phoebe and Paige, and they each write a reflection of what has happened in the past years so future generations will know. Phoebe writes that over the last eight years, so much was gained and lost and that her life is really just beginning, after finding out that her true love is Coop. A flash of the future is shown where Phoebe and Coop are married and have two daughters while Phoebe is pregnant with their third. It also shows that she continues working at the Bay Mirror and ends up writing a self-help book on finding love. Paige writes about her and Henry's lives. It is shown in flashforwards that she accepts her role as a Whitelighter, aiding many witches and future Whitelighters that include her nieces and nephews. It also shows that Paige and Henry have three children, twin daughters and a son. Piper writes down how Paige passed on all that she learned about being a witch to her and Phoebe's kids."

Recharge

Today has been overcast and occasionally raining. I decided to stay at home today and just relax. I watched the first episode of the flirt series of Charmed. The channel will be airing two episodes per day, except for weekends.


I also had an afternoon siesta. Perhaps i needed the batteries recharging anyway.

Scott Trumps Trump

It is about time that ITV aired that shelved documentary about Donald Trump that news reporter Selina Scott made in 1995. Here she is talking to Kirsty Walk.

Actually , Trump, you are the sleaze bag.
