I thought the same thing when I saw it the first time. Here were my
thoughts then and they are still valid now (IMHO):
OK, I know there are always issues with "time travel" shows, and part of
the
"fun" can be the paradoxes that are brought up.
But there was one in the "Charmed" finale that cannot be resolved. And
that's Wyatt and Chris coming back in time because Wyatt lost his powers
and
they had to find out why. Wyatt lost his powers to the Hollow; therefore,
he NEVER HAD THEM TO BEGIN WITH. There was NO POSSIBLE FUTURE that
included
Wyatt having his powers. Wyatt got his powers because he came back from
the
future and changed the past, which allowed him to get powers. At the time
he "suddenly lost" his powers, he could never have had them in the first
place, since the only path to the future that ever existed had him losing
them as a child.
And you can't say that "there's a future for every possible path," because
the whole of Season 6 was based upon the concept that there was ONLY ONE
possible future, which is why Chris had to come back and change the past.
And we know this is the same Chris and Wyatt from Season 6, so we know
there
is only one future.
