The Seven Year Witch

The episode was fair. Julian McMahon was fantastic. The last few episodes picked up when Billy Zane joined the cast. He is a wonderful actor. I saw him years ago in the Phantom (from the comic strip). He did a great job. I also saw him in Titanic in which he was a dominating heel. Then in the last few episodes of charmed in which he as delightful to watch. One thing I admired about Billy and Julian was the wonderful way they expressed themselves. Their English was flawless and perfectly understandable. I have gotten along in age and sometimes I have trouble understanding, but too often young actors skip over their consonents. I think it is me, but when I see old movies everybody is understandable - even teenagers. Julian and Billy had a wonderful last scene regardless of the plot. It was very good acting on their part. Don't get me wrong, I love the girls, but these guys seemed like real pros.

This is a great episode with Cole appearance, but unfortunately, it's only for this episode..

It shows that Cole hasn't really got 'vanish' after got vanquished on season five, Centennial Charmed. It has proved a lot of theories that was discussed on this character.

That Cole wasn't willing to be the Source, else he won't be talking to Piper in this episode, thus, Cole is not evil.

He happens to sent Drake for Phoebe, and he appears at the Magic school at the end, this shows that Cole isn't really in a Limbo..

An 'Easter egg' episode for Cole's fan.. :)

Although I was really happy to see Julian again as Cole even though he had a rather Nip/Tuck image look about him, (lol) this episode was confusing. I found it perplexing at first, wondering why he would want to help Piper find Leo. He then admitted he wanted Phoebe to find love again. At the end of the show it appears that Cole was responsible for sending Drake into the Charmed Ones lives simply for Phoebe. But he appears at the Magic School. For a demon who was the source of all evil but is living in limbo now, I don't see how that is possible. Nor the fact that he has any powers at all enabling him to set the whole thing up regarding Drake. This episode was far fetched and had too many holes in it to make sense. I believe it was simply a gift to all the Cole fans out there that we could see him again. So for that I am grateful. Once again I cried my eyes out at the end. I so loved Julian on the show and felt that it went downhill after he left. I didn't want him to go in this last episode once again and it just seems so unfair that he would still have to live in limbo when he did a beautiful unselfish thing for Phoebe and for Piper.
