Time Travel
As we have all seen from the preview clip, Piper time travels in Charmed's last installment episode Forever Charmed. There have been several types of time travel over the course of Charmed; travels to the past, future and even time loops. Travels of this type have always been the strongest of Charmed's episodes. A lesson or reason has always been the cause of them, and they bring pain, happiness and drama as well as some great special effects for the magic involved. I'd like to recall some of them now. If I miss any, then please post them in the comments.(1) Prue, Piper, Phoebe travel back to the past in That 70's Episode. This episode is about undoing what was done so long ago, but along the way the sisters' discover the reason behind their forgotten powers -- Grams bound them to protect Prue, Piper and Phoebe from Nicholas.
(2) Prue, Piper, Phoebe go ten years into the future in Morality Bites. In this season two episode, the sisters are reminded about their promise of protecting the innocent, not punishing the guilty.
(3) Phoebe returns to the past...the way past via a spell in Pardon My Past. In this case, Phoebe is haunted by her former life so that she may prevent the tragic event...death...that befell her in the past.
(4) Prue, Piper and Phoebe travel centuries into the past in All Halliwell's Eve. In the breath-taking episode, the sisters save their hertiage as well as learn some of the most basic wiccan things.
(5) Prue travels across planes with Cole in The Good, The Bad and The Cursed. It gives Prue a chance to see Cole as a man who loves Phoebe as well as a chance to bring peace to a whole town of people.
(6) The Charmed Ones and Leo travel back into the medieval past of Paige in A Knight To Remember. Not much of a reason or lesson involved, but just an insight to Paige's former self.
(7) In A Paige From The Past, Paige travels back to discover why her parents died and hopefully to work through the pain.
(8) Paige and Phoebe time travel to the past in Cat House, when Piper casts a spell to recall memories. This episode gives Paige the chance to see and know what her sisters were really like before she knew them.
(9) Chris travels from the future in season five's finale episode Oh, My Goddess. While in the present, Chris attempts to change what will be from what he has seen and knows all to well.
(10) Wyatt is summoned by Piper into the present in Imaginary Fiends. He was summoned by accident, but he is very helpful in helping solve the trouble surrounding present Wyatt.
So as you can tell, there have been many time travel events in The Charmed Ones' lives. These events have helped them to understand, know, grow and learn. They add to their lives and their characters. And if any of you are spoiled or have read my posts, then you know that this final episode will present multiple periods of time from The Halliwells' lives. We will see little Piper once more, be captivated by both future Wyatt's and future Chris's personalities, see the over-protective Grams, be close to Patty and spend time with Victor.
But what does this cluster of time travels mean? What do you think Piper will learn from visiting the past? Do you think that the show should end this way? Are there any hopes that you might have for the time travel events that would quell your Charmed passion?

I think that Brad is a great writer and that he will give us a satisfying ending to Charmed. With that said, I don't know about the time travel. Yes. Time travel episodes in Charmed are always amazing (Morality Bites), but it just doesn't seem real to show us how they will end up, given that future events change so much. Piper's little girl, Prue's death - stuff like that.
I think that it will be good to see how the sisters make the transition of giving their duty to their offspring, which is what Brad wants. He want us to feel that Charmed lives on. And I agree Anon. Brad is a great writer, so I'm betting that he's got this ingenius episode for us.
Ow. I never thought of it that way. I guess now on the other hand that it would be good to see one of the charmed ones read to their granddaughter. Which sister do you think will be reading to their grandchild? I hope it is Paige. Or it could be Piper and the child is Wyatt's or Chris. And if it is Piper, then her fate has already change from what Chris said (her dying when he was 14).
To answer one of your questions, Rudy, I think that Piper will find the answer to saving her sisters and destroying evil from her future self. Or at least that is what is rumored to happen. But the new light of grams and Patty may be the answer to Piper's problem.
And I actually feel like it will be Phoebe reading to her granddaughter. I don't know why, I just feel that it'd be her.
I have heard that rumor, too, Taylor. But whether it's true or not, we'll have to wait until tomorrow.
And good question Anon. But I have to say that I'm with Taylor. It'll probably be Phoebe, but then again it's always been Piper who's stayed with the Manor. And didn't the spoiler say that the charmed one was reading the BOS in the attic?
Rudy, you have a great blog here. I've only posted a couple of times, but I thought that I'd go ahead and tell you. ^I just voted for you, too. Hope it helps to get you more posters.
Now, in concern with who'll be the grandmother. I'm hoping it's Paige because we haven't heard or seen anything in connection with her having any child and it would be a great way to let viewers know that Paige and Henry will have a legacy.
And I'd like to add that I think that Brad will make it more than just about time traveling to give us a glimpse of their continuation. He'll probably give us a quenching present storyline as well. Piper still has to rectify the death of her sisters.
