27 corrected entries in season 3

(16 votes)

Exit Strategy - S3-E20

Corrected entry: Piper alters Leo's date of birth on his birth certificate so he can obtain a passport, however, obtaining a US passport also requires a Social Security Number, which would have been retired when Leo died in 1942. A simple credit check can determine if someone is attempting to use a retired SSN, passing the State Department's background check with one would be impossible.

Correction: From the Department of State's website: "To obtain a passport for the first time, you need to go in person to one of 7,000 passport acceptance facilities located throughout the United States with two photographs of yourself, proof of U.S. citizenship, and a valid form of photo identification such as a driver's license." No mention of SSN.

Rlvlk

Correction: Depending on the brand of photo mixture and the skin type it may or may not be immediately irritating the the skin, but will always be irritating to the eyes. This is not a mistake.

OneHappyHusky

Correction: This is not correct. In the episode, Piper froze only the "innocent" people to determine who the demon was. It turns out the only people she froze were the DA, Darryl, and Leo. When Pru asked Piper to freeze the rest, she says she can't because once they are immune to her freeze, she can't freeze them as demonstrated later when she tries anyway. This is in no way similar to the Jack and Jeff freeze in Season 2.

Bride and Gloom - S3-E13

Corrected entry: At the beginning of this episode Cole appears in Phoebe's favourite film and says that it is a little trick he learned from the demon of illusion. However, Cole wasn't around in Chick Flick (where the demon of illusion appeared), he didn't come into the show until season 3.

Correction: Cole and the Demon of Illusion have both existed for centuries. Cole could have picked up the "little trick" at any time in the past, perhaps long before the episode "Chick Flick" took place.

DavidK93

Correction: In addition to healing the victims eyes, vanquishing the Grimlocks also returns their vision.

Then wouldn't have Daryl revived his sight sight back before Leo healed him since they vanquished the grimlocks 1st?

Correction: Phoebe's hair was changed from brown to blonde because of the Lost and Found spell she cast.

The Honeymoon's Over - S3-E1

Corrected entry: In the courtroom when Piper freezes only the innocents, she's not able to freeze the villains when the sisters are fighting with them because she says they're immune to her power. However, in future episodes, she's able to freeze Cole - even though he wasn't an innocent in the courtroom.

Correction: Piper chose to freeze the innocents. Cole is not innocent, hence he didn't freeze, he pretended to. Piper can target who she wants to freeze therefore Cole wasn't immune to her power, he just wasn't the target of her freeze.

Correction: No, you've misread. When they're fighting with the possessed guys in the courtroom, that's when Piper says that they're immune to her freezing power. It's only when they tell her to try and freeze the innocents only. She can't freeze when fighting them though. So why is Cole immune in an episode then not in others?

Before they went in the courtroom Prue came up with the plan for Piper to freeze only the innocents. She wasn't successful at first, and when Cole turned around to face them it was implied he froze but when the sisters chased after the judge he shimmered out and killed him. Notice how nobody else unfroze, so even though she targeted the innocents to freeze, Cole probably figured out what they were doing or saw Darryl and Leo froze and pretended to freeze. He shimmered back in the same spot after he killed the judge to pretend to be frozen again when Phoebe hit him with the baton, so that is why he was not immune to her freezing power because he was not frozen. He was just faking it to keep up his cover, as they did not know he was a demon.

The Fifth Halliwell - S4-E16

Plot hole: Cole explains that the demonic power is driving Karen mad because she is human. Cole later has Paige infected with one to drive her mad. This doesn't make sense since Paige is doubly not human, and shouldn't be driven mad. In fact the Charmed Ones have had demonic powers before and were not driven mad, but instead turned evil.

Suggested correction: They all are human, just not mortals.

Cole: Phoebe, I love you. I don't know what's going on but maybe I can help. Would you like me to kill someone for you?

Chosen answer: Her agent/manager negotiated a special billing as part of her contract. It distinguishes her from the rest of the cast, probably when she became a producer on the show.

JC Fernandez

Answer: She became a producer.

Incorrect. Her billing changed in season 4 but she didn't become a producer until season 5.
