6.03 Forget Me ... Not!

I liked this episode. I mean, I really can't say I didn't. It was much better than last week's episode, but hell, it was good. Sigh! Why can't Brad Kern listen to writers like Henry Alonso Myers (Necromancing the Stone, Sympathy for the Demon, etc.) who actually write episodes that I love to watch. Anyway, that's beside the point. One of the reasons I enjoyed this episode was because of the sisterly relationships that showed. With Paige's teasing of Piper, "Oh, my god, I think I hear something!" Ah, that scene was lovely.

The Cleaners were 'meh' villains. And technically, they really weren't villains, but bringing the Cleaners created continuity issues, such as in "All Hell Breaks Loose", when the sisters exposed magic, we didn't see those men wearing their white pristine suits, so that confused me.

1. Wyatt

I liked the idea of this episode, but the dragon was hideous, and remarkably dumb. And how it was summoned made me think even worse of it. I mean, why did the sisters leave the room to finish their conversation, then allowing Wyatt to look at the tv and pop out his lovely fire-breathing friend. How the plot ended bugged me, too, I mean, Piper took a very, very big risk in assuming that the Cleaners wouldn't take the chance to erase them. It just doesn't make sense to me.

2. Piper and Leo

Damn it, this episode makes me hate Brad Kern even more. I can see how Leo is trying to get his love to Piper but it just ain't happening. I didn't like how Piper seemed kind of ... irritated when she saw Leo in the nursery. I was hoping for maybe a more pleasant reaction. But Holly Marie Combs did a wonderful job when she was talking to Leo -- "I can't lose Wyatt, too!" Although, Leo has been hanging out in the manor a lot recently. So why can't they be together, Kern? Answer the damn question.

3. Phoebe

Phoebe just bugged me.

4. Phoebe (again)

Okay, fine. I guess I can't just write that. But it's true. It's only the third episode into the season and I'm ready to bonk that woman on the head! I can't believe that A) Phoebe (see selfish nag) actually asked the Cleaners to erase her own little brawl in the office like that and B) they actually did! I mean, they must find her breasts to be very appealing if they were that willing.

5. Paige

I liked Paige in this episode. She was cute around the sisterly stuff and teasing, especially in the kitchen. And I laughed when "Flo" morphed back into Paige and Rose McGowan had to stand up to make the glamour realistic.

6. Chris

This guy was just stupid and gay. I am going to leave it there.

Other Notes and Nitpicks

• If Paige didn't show up to walk into Mr. Stewick's office with Flo, why didn't Flo just cruise by Paige's desk to remind her of the meeting?
• I'm surprised Paige wore jeans to work. I realize it's just a temp position, but everyone else in the office seemed to be dressed fairly formally and she wore jeans?
• Piper telling the father that she always wanted kids and that she babysat a lot when she was young seemed a little odd. In "Reckless Abandon", she was very freaked out by Matthew and she only mentioned unpleasant memories of babies.
• Phoebe's co-workers must be very angry people to burst into a brawl like that.
• When The Halliwyatt orbs he and Piper out of the manor, the only thing Piper is holding is the baby. When they orb in by the tunnel, Piper has her cell phone in her hand.
• Why did they need to vanquish the dragon? Why couldn't they have used Paige's favorite vanishing spell?
• When Paige talks about the vanquishing potion, Rose McGowan accidentally pronounces it "vankishing potion" instead.
• For some reason I thought it was so cute that Paige was holding the baby's hand when they all orbed in by the dragon.
• I thought the dragon confrontation was a little anti-climatic. Piper could have at least been running to build some dramatic tension instead of standing there and letting the music do it.
• I would think that Piper's pants would have been really shredded after she slid backwards on the pavement like that.
• And speaking of Piper's pants, Holly Marie Combs wore those gray slacks for promo pictures and she wore them to the Teen Choice Awards. I think the pointy white boots Phoebe wears were worn by Alyssa Milano for promos and perhaps she wore that white skirt as well.
• Should Phoebe's bandage have disappeared after the Cleaners erased the brawl? Her cut definitely should have, but I can't decide about the bandage.
