Discussion of 5.22/3 "Oh My Goddesses" Re-airing 1/3/04 (Living-UK)

from thewb.com

Released after centuries spent entombed beneath the Artic ice, the Titans, Greek mythic gods, set out to eliminate their captors, the Elders. Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) and Paige (Rose McGowan) are nearly defeated by the Titans, but are saved by Chris (guest star Drew Fuller, "Black Sash"), a mysterious Whitelighter from the future. Meanwhile, Leo (Brian Krause) makes a decision to give the Charmed Ones the ultimate power to vanquish the Titans, recreating them as Greek Goddesses, despite the risk that they will be seduced by their vast new powers. Phoebe becomes the Goddess of Love, Piper (Holly Marie Combs) the Goddess of Earth and Paige the Goddess of War. However, Piper's life is turned upside-down when Leo accepts his call to become the new leader of the Elders. Piper's loss and anger consumes her, allowing the Charmed Ones to destroy the Titans.

Dorian Gregory also stars. The first hour was directed by Jonathan West and written by Krista Vernoff and Curtis Kheel. The second hour was directed by Joel Feigenbaum and written by Daniel Cerone.

I liked this episode......only because there was more action involved than usual for the charmed ones. but i was dissapointed to see how the sisters portrayed the goddesses they were anointed as.

i also thought it was far fetched how leo explained that the gods/goddesses of myth were actually granted their powers by the Elders? that just sounded a bit too BLAH to me.

Phoebe was useless as Aphrodite......Paige tried to be hard and agressive as she was Athena....but she fumbled with the trident so much (and since when does athena has a trident? i thought that was posiedon?) and Piper......spent more time whining about her husband (as did all the sisters) and how she NEEDED him and how she couldnt survive without him (now for nearly 4 seasons, the sisters proved they could survive near impossible odds and NOW suddenly that cant get along without Leo).

this episode couldve been handled alot better.....but it was okay......
