YMMV / Charmed S5E23 Oh My Goddess Part 2

• Anti-Climax Boss: The Titans were so powerful they required the sisters getting Goddess powers to defeat them. They're curb stomped by Piper rather easily once she unlocks her full Earth Goddess power - so the last part of the finale can focus on her and Leo's drama.
• Complete Monster: Cronus, lord of the Titans, once reigned over the world as a bloody tyrant responsible for countless deaths. Upon being freed, he callously murders one of the only remaining Titans and sets about an attempted extermination of the Elders and Whitelighters. Cronus massacres most of them, trying to hunt down any hiding survivors and kill them along with any who shelter them before returning to terrorize the entire world.
• Genius Bonus:
  • Phoebe's hair changing when she becomes a Love Goddess. Aphrodite is always depicted with beautiful golden long hair.
  • Leo tells Piper to draw strength from "the hearth". This is a reference to Hestia, who was the Only Sane Man of the Greek Gods, and kept the Big, Screwed-Up Family from imploding. This parallels Piper's status as the grounding influence to Paige and Phoebe.
• Harsher in Hindsight:
  • Phoebe the Love Goddess flirting with Chris is quite icky when the next season reveals she's his aunt. When she finds out, she even asks, "I never hit on you, did I?", to which he replies she didn't, apparently not counting this because she was Not Herself.
    • It's also Hilarious in Hindsight if you consider that the Greek Gods were big on incest.
  • Seeing Phoebe surrounded by flocks of men adoring her. In Season 8 it's revealed that the endless stream of failed relationships has left her terrified of love or commitment.
  • Paige trying to command the demons is especially harsh in light of Rose McGowan's struggles against the sexism in Hollywood.
  • In an argument with Chris where he says families barely exist in his future, Piper fires back "that's not my problem". Not only is she actually his mother, but she's destined to die when he's only fourteen.
