  • The idea of a 2nd volume is enough to put you off the rest of the season!

    "Terrible"
    By MovieMark, Aug 28, 2010 Report Abuse
    Silly title, rubbish sub-plots, awful demon and some very bad acting from Rose McGowan, 'Kill Billie: Vol.1' is the beginning of Charmed's horrid run of episodes from the final season of the show.

    Are there any good parts? Paige's ghost didn't look half bad. And I was pleasantly surprised when Billie was kidnapped half-way through a conversation with the girls. That's about it.

    The sets have never looked so bare. The acting should be glossed over with a coat of varnish it's that wooden. Story-lines are plucked from nowhere -- Phoebe's possible pregnancy, Leo and Piper's martial spat -- and tossed together as partial afterthoughts: Phoebe is up the duff, then she isn't, all in the name of a supposed subplot. Her 6 week cadaver also ups and leaves.

    Rose has seemingly forgotten how to act - I don't see Paige as Paige anymore. I just see her as Rose attempting to deliver a line convincingly, and failing almost every time. I cringe whenever I see Holly acting her socks off and having to put up with Rose's blahness.

    I think we have 4 consecutive episodes of undiluted torture before we're given the season's corker and then it's time to endure more painfully dull plotting.

    Sigh.moreless

  • I hope there’s a little more intrigue, spells and vanquishing, and less bickering in future episodes. Bring back the old Charmed!

    Tonight's episode was a little disappointing with all of the fighting between Piper and Leo. Leo used to be able to orb away when Piper got grouchy, now he's stuck having to put up with it. I don't know why she was so upset about the candy, it seemed petty. Maybe she had PMS?!

    It's too bad Phoebe found out she's not pregnant, too. I guess Dex will be written out of the show soon, like Phoebe's other love interests.

    Billie came through and vanquished the demon, after several attempts. I'm surprised, though, that the sisters let her do it on her own. When Paige was new at being a witch, they didn't seem to let her do anything on her own.

    I hope there's a little more intrigue, spells and vanquishing, and less bickering in future episodes. Bring back the old Charmed!

  • Well, at the very least, this episode was an improvement from last week's crappy ep .... but that's not saying much.

    Well, at the very least, this episode was an improvement from last week's crappy ep .... but that's not saying much.

    Loved the Halloween theme .... although it'd kinda dumb they didn't have one last year ... when Charmed was actually ON Halloween.

    Now, Phoebe being pregnant should've been a lot more shocking ... probably would've been if it hadn't been spoiled by the trailer. Course finding out later she really wasn't ... yeah. Dex is incredibly annoying. I always like Nick Lachey's character. Bring him back. Jason Lewis sucks.

    Anyway, Billie rules, as always. Nice flashback scene. She may be a little inexperienced when it comes to demon-fighting, but uh ... she still rules. In the end she was still the one to complete the vanquish (kickass looking demon though ... not).

    Paige, meanwhile, looking to the elders for help? Sad. Paige's scene as the ghostly woman haunting the journalist was pretty cool ... but shouldn't she be punished for that?

    Leo and Piper fighting ... that's new. -_- Anyway, the Halloweeny, trick-or-treating atmosphere made it sort of fun. Liked the costumes at the end.

    Hopefully the series will pick up soon ... if not, the ratings will be going back down the other way.

  • A good improvement on the season so far with insight to Billie and some funny moments

    Well, now that this stupid \"secret identities\" thing is over with, the season may get back on track. The problems with the press make sense and I like the ways Paige manages to deal with it. The part where Piper turns some reporters into mice was a bit much but funny.

    So we\'re into the pregnancy already with Phoebe? Had thought they\'d wait a tad but gives new boost to her dilema. I do like how they\'ve played this, that Phoebe spent so much time wanting to get married and have kids only to find out it may not be happening as she\'d hoped. This could be something to work with.

    The Piper/Leo stuff seems a bit tired but once again Holly Marie shows her great comedic timing that manages to lift most of the scenes and proves how much she\'s the soul of the show.

    And then we get to Billie as we get insight to her past and some nice dramatic moves from her. She\'s been dragging the show a bit so far but hopefully this may give her a better boost in the eyes of fans.

    So a good turning point episode that sets a new tone for the season, which could be desperately needed.moreless

    • In episode Death Become Them Piper wanted to cancel Chris's first birthday much to Leo's dismay because Zankou wanted to kill the family. She said "he is only one, he won't be remember" and Leo replies "we will" Here, Leo uses the same expression although he says that "Wyatt is not three yet and he won't remember Halloween". Edit
    • Dogan's extended fingertips seem to not be the same color as his real skin - they appear fake. Edit
    • In previous episodes, vanquishing potions are shown only to explode when they hit the demon they were made for. If they miss their target, they simply spill onto the floor. In this episode, however, a potion is shown exploding when it hits a wall. Edit

    • The close-up of Billie's eyes, where they zoomed in and then showed the flashback scenes, was another allusion to the "Kill Bill" films. Edit
    • Title: Kill Billie: Vol. 1
      This is a reference to the Quentin Tarantino-directed film, Kill Bill: Vol. 1, starring Uma Thurman. The movie, released in 2003, was followed up by the 2004 sequel or second half, Kill Bill: Vol. 2. The series then followed up this episode with Kill Billie: Vol. 2. Edit
