Notes and Trivia
WB's promo
- This storyline was supposed to be the storyline to start off season 5 with Charmed and Dangerous being the season 4 finale.
- This episode marks the second time that the Source is vanquished and the first for Cole Turner.
- This is the fifth episode in which Phoebe is evil. It is also the closest that a Charmed One has come to killing an innocent, as Phoebe came close to killing Elise with her fire-throwing power.
- In Charmageddon, Phoebe receives a premonition from the Book of Shadows which shows some of the deaths that have happened. Cole's vanquish from this episode is the last death in the premonition.
- The female innocent hologram of Alison Whitt is Krista Vernoff, the writer of the episode.
- Dane says that Greg Conroy has lost them potential demons by rehabilitating humans, indicating that there is still a method for turning humans into demons, similar to the The Academy shown in "Wrestling with Demons".
- This episode scored 4.7 million viewers.
- Netflix actually has this episode marked as '4x19', which is incorrect. "We're Off to See the Wizard" is actually 4x19.
- This error puts the corresponding episodes #1 behind their actual production number.
Cultural References
- The title is reference to the proclamation "The king is dead, long live the king!", commonly used when one monarch dies and another takes the throne.
Glitches
- Piper says the names of the spell To Call Upon Our Ancestors in another order then when she said it in Charmed and Dangerous. First she said "Prudence, Patricia, Penelope, Melinda" and the second time, in this episode she said "Prudence, Penelope, Patricia, Melinda".
- In the beginning of the episode, The Seer tells Phoebe to drink the rest of her half-full glass of tonic, but the next second, before she then drinks any, the glass is completely empty.
Music
- Courage - Sarah Polley (Used in the end scene were the sisters lay on the bed.)
