All Hell Breaks Loose

OK so my rating is on the actual show. And I know I am like 10 years late but I still love it and watch the reruns and own the entire series on DVD. What bugged me was the review/comment by the person named maplaver that was titled "is not incoherent" or something to that effect. Obviously you didn't do ANY research before commenting. Your "explanation" is completely wrong. As stated before by a few people, there was a second part but it was pulled after the departure that was less than friendly by Shannen D. Since we have heard about her being quite difficult to deal with this does not surprise me. I am however VERY disappointed that with all Aaron Spellings money he couldn't have found a way around it contractually to allow the second episode to be included. It is one of the most IMPORTANT episodes of the whole series! For such a long time I would be watching and when they would go from Season 3 last episode to Season 4 first one I'd be scratching my head! It's ridiculous. We are left to just surmise what happened. It did take me a long time to warm up to Paige as the new third sister but eventually I did. I also liked every made for TV movie I have seen Shannen in and it seems such a shame that a talented actress such as herself could be so unprofessional and ruin so many aspects of her career. Anyway, maybe one day somehow those of us who did not get to see part 2 of that episode will get to see it. One can only hope. :)

This is easily one of the strongest episodes of the entire series. There might be some logic flaws in a couple of scenes but the overall story, directing and acting are all top notch.

Part 2 of All Hell Breaks Loose is absolutely real. I saw it live when it originally aired. You will not find part 2 in any dvd or vhs or whatever, because it was never released for these formats due to the conflicts and legal parameters. It only aired live, on tv, once and that was it. Fans just created fake part 2's online to try and recreate the actual episode for comfort.

It's too bad that the rights to part 2 were not released because when I watched it live, it was intense, emotional and well done. It is not unusual to not have a real recording of part 2 because it wasn't totally common to do this. We just watched tv live and that was that and plus we didn't have dvr, on demand, nor streaming. I was 33 back then (2001) and even though one could technically record tv shows onto a vhs tape, I wouldn't say it was common. Anyways, I don't care if some people believe that part 2 doesn't exist because I know it actually does because I saw it live that one time it aired and I know others who have as well. That's the truth. Period. When something is true, it just stands. It's like saying you don't believe in the sun or the moon. It doesn't matter if you don't believe in the sun or moon, the fact is, it's true that they do exist no matter what some people may think.

Anyhow, it's really not that important in the grand scheme of things. I just figured I would write this because I actually saw it myself. I'm glad I have it in my memory banks. Maybe someday, the people holding this part 2 back from the public, will release it so everyone else can enjoy it as well.

I'm sure Shannon knew weeks before she wrote the storyline for episode 22 that she would be fired because of Milano .

Well the explanations are great guys, Thanks, I thought I missed an episode or something between this episode Charmed Again, My comment is why didn't they write in part two of all hell breaks loose, better?

I know there were behind the scene problems with Shannen, so if her exit was abrupt. I can only surmise that we have to assume, Prue hit that wall HARDER then Piper. I didn't think of Phoebe not being there, if time was reversed,Why was Phoebe returned as well.

I was just curious as to why so many details were omitted,

Over time,Shannen and producers could have made peace for the final episode. If Grams and Patty can be called. Prue should have been too.
