Notes and Trivia
Charrrmed WB Trailer
- This is one of ten episodes with "Charmed" in the title.
- This is the first appearance of Kyle Brody.
- This is the first and only episode to show Piper both blow up and freeze an object like the Source did in "Charmed and Dangerous" after he used the Hollow to steal her powers. However, he did it in one motion (when a vase exploded and quickly froze itself) but she does each action separately.
- This is only time a sister turns into her elderly self. However, Phoebe summons her older self in "The Three Faces of Phoebe" and Piper meet her older self due to time travel in "Forever Charmed".
- The set used for the hallways of the museum was also used for Buckland's Auction House in season 1 and 2. The set will be used later in "Mr. & Mrs. Witch".
- This is the first time that a confirmed LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) character is featured on the series.
- This is the first time Piper tells Paige "I love you" on-screen.
Cultural References
- The titled incorporates the typical pirate exclamation "Arrrh!".
- Phoebe says, "Any cute Johnny Depp pirates?" This is a reference to the 2003 Disney movie "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl", starring Johnny Depp as swashbuckler Captain Jack Sparrow.
- When Phoebe talks to Leslie, you can see a Dodgers flag behind him. The Dodgers are Alyssa Milano's favorite baseball team.
Glitches
- When Phoebe and Leslie are talking, in one of the shots Phoebe was is near the door, and in the next shot she is near the window.
- When Phoebe goes through the lasers, she does a head stand and you can see long hair however, from a different angle, Phoebe's short hair is apparent. You can clearly notice that this was her stunt double.
- When Leo has fallen asleep looking out for Wyatt and Chris, there was a book on top of him, then it was gone in one of the shots while Piper and Paige were talking.
