Could someone please clear up the confusion I have on Charmed!!
1)Why did Chris REALLY lie to the charmed ones about who is he and why he is there in their lives?
2)Is Chris good or bad?
3)When the charmed ones found out Chris lied and is really a 1/2 witch and white lighter, why did they allow him to stick around the house?
Last weeks episode (which was a rerun) showed Pipers grandmother warning her that all men witches are bad and can’t be trusted. She woulnd’t bless the baby until the last minute.
1)Was this a lead into Wyatt turning evil?
2)Why would Wyatt turn evil if he is half whitelighter and half witch?
In the future, the charmed ones die and the world goes to hell in a handbasket. With no supervision(one presumes Leo and the other whitelighters are gone), Wyatt grows up with no compassion. Chris has presumedly grown up the same way, but his experience of love has him tipping toward goodness.
Chris really lied because of that old saw about time-travel, you can’t let anyone know why you’re doing it so you don’t change the future too much. At some point in the episode he even says he’s not allowed to tell them that baby!Wyatt is in danger of becoming evil, because that’d influence the charmed ones too much and the change is supposed to be more subtle than that.
Chris seems to be good. However, we only saw the future through his eyes, so all we know for 100% certain is he and future!Wyatt are on oposing sides. Is his side the “good” one? He looked like the underdog in the future, but…
They’re dumb about men? I mean, look at Cole for god’s sake, they don’t have the best track record deciding between men who are harmless and those that should be run from screaming.
I’m not sure about the male witch comment. It could be forshadowing, but Wyatt’s only half witch which is occasionally a big deal on the show, and we know that “all male witches are bad” isn’t the case. Remember the little boy witch they rescued back in the Prue days? He was decidedly good. I think there have been others too. Grandma even admits in the episode that she let her personal feelings about male witches color her opinions, so she’s not terribly reliable as an authority on if her proclaimation is true or not.
1b. I doubt it. My guess - no spoilers - is something happens to the charmed ones while he’s still young and he grows up without them, with no one to teach him revenge is bad, and abusing power is worse. I think that Chris is really there to look out for the charmed ones, not Wyatt - Wyatt would benifit from it though.
2b. Nature vs nurture. This is a world with bad witches as well as good, so it’s not set in stone that being a witch means you’ll be onl the side of good. The events of one’s life shapes witches too.
Wyatt or Chris could always turn toward evil, just like Pheobe did with Cole. It’s part of free-will.
As for the notion that we don’t know which one (Chris or Wyatt) is good in the future, I think you’re sorely mistaken. Wyatt obviously is evil since he was commanding Demons as his servants.
The big question to me is, Chris is half witch and white-lighter – so who are his parents??
I saw it dangit! Guess I’m just chopped chicken liver.
As to to the OP, I think in upcoming episodes they are going to show us why the Charmed ones trust him. I stick by my theory that Chris could be related somehow to them. Until proven wrong it’s something that keeps me occupied.
Nightingale Mamahen and I have been trying to figure out who he is, but it comes down to age. How old is Chris? The actor who plays him is 23, so it’s possible, but then, Piper is played by the youngest actress on the show so that doesn’t really mean anything. And for some reason, I have the suspicion the second baby is going to be a girl…
There was an earlier trip to the future during the Prue days, with Phoebe having used her future powers to kill a man and sentenced to death by burning. In that version of reality, Piper and Leo had married and divorced and had a girl. That was one reason they thought Wyatt was going to be a girl initially.
The Chris good/bad thing. It’s still unclear to me what the purpose of last season’s cliffhanger event was: Chris blasts the newly-made-Elder Leo out of the sky as he’s orbing away. Obviously, it didn’t kill Leo, and apparently wasn’t meant to, although viewers didn’t know that until this season began and we discover Leo’s being kept captive. But I missed the underlying reasons that Chris did this.
I think the reason Chris was trying to get rid of Leo was so that he would have more control over the Charmed Ones. With Leo looking over his back all the time, it’s more difficult for him to control the women, which is already rather tough.
