Sail the seas

This has to be the most unusual and unique entry in the Charmed universe dealing with a mermaid. I love when the show isn't afraid to take risks or try new things like an episode dealing with water. What makes it wonderful is the Sea Hag who is insidious, has a fitting look and provides a great performance. Her power is brilliantly thought up and used to perfection. She probably ranks number five on my favorite villain's list. Her scrawl alone was chilling even if you knew nothing about her.

The music is memorable adding to the danger and magical nature swirling around the sisters. The story lines both keep you interested even though it makes you feel pity for two important characters. I like how it goes further with exploring Piper's insecurities and worrying about her impending motherhood.

Charmed hit a home run idea and I can't wait to see if it continues delivering more like it.
