Since barely anyone likes Prues original death, if she had to get killed off the show, how would you kill her off? Would she go out slowly? Fast? Death at a demons hand? A non magical death?

Well, I just hated seeing her killed, and the fact that she *was* the one who was killed (rather than Phoebe), not necessarily the *way* she was killed. If she had to be killed, killed quickly while saving an innocent was the best way for her to die.
I also minded the fact that once she died she was never allowed to come back as either a ghost or a guide (not a whitelighter--no WAY can I imagine Prue agreeing to do what the Elders tell her to do!). I wish she could've continued to lead them by using either the spirit board or writing in the Book of Shadows so Shannen's image wouldn't be needed and so Piper could remain the heart of the family and Phoebe could remain the baby and Paige could've been the Only Child she should've been.
I would've preferred her *knowing* that her action was going to mean her death, but choosing it anyway. I hate that it was her pride that went before her fall, even if that was SOOOO Prue!

If I could choose for her to not have died I would within a heartbeat. But I agree with Esmeralda, if it had to happen, I would have liked to have seen her do something to save someone else knowing it would result in her not being able to be saved. Preferably saving Phoebe or Piper's lives, or something even more adorable like her sacrificing herself not even for their lives, but for their future happiness. An example scenario, something like the source let the girls know that unless one of them died that day the other two would never ever get a happy, demon free, married-with-kids-and-happy-career life, and at first all three of them tried to fight in, Piper and Phoebe tried until the very end and them Prue realised that this time it was too strong, the source had the upper hand and so she (swallowed her pride!!), admitted defeat and threw herself into death, for Piper and Phoebe.
That would be totally Prue - Utterly selfless, giving so much yet taking so little, and looking after her 'little sisters' until her very last breath.
The pathos in this storyline (that I've just created in my head in the last like, two minutes?!) is far better than the way she was just blasted through a wall and died the same way the doctor, a mortal died.
That's not how you kill off The Most Powerful Witch Of All Time..

13 years have passed and still trying to decide how to give Prue a perfect death  Killing favorite characters is too damn hard. |

Actually, Prue died by Shax's hands, while trying to save that doctor from him.

I would love to see Prue taking out the source with her sisters. The flames of the vanquish spread across the room, Prue holds it off and lets her baby sisters escape as she's consumed by the flames

That sounds like the way I kill her off in my Dream Series, and you're right - that's the way I prefer it - dying to save an innocent - who happens to be the half-sister she never knew she had rather than the doctor who was a creep.

I'd have loved something like that to have happened, anything over saving that stupid doctor. |

At the start of Season 4, they should simply have made Piper and Leo cry as they were surrounded by police and in the house. The two bodies would be taken away without being seen. Body bags would be closed.
If not, I wish Prue would stop her sisters from fighting the Source and stay behind her. Prue valiantly fights Source, then uses her astral projection as she does in "Primrose Empath". The source is burning. He feels like he's dying, and he sends a fireball into the sleeping Prue who crashes and breaks her neck. He is freed from astral projection and a lot of blood flows from his belly before disappearing for a year. Angel of Death picks up Prue while Phoebe and Piper don't see him.

That would've been perfect! Especially if this means that Source's powers don't go into Cole so we don't end up with the Phoetus, Crazy Stalker Cole and PhoeME never having a chance to go back to being Phoebs. Also Piper wouldn't be able to blame Leo for healing her instead of Prue, turning their guardian angel into their magical doctor/taxicab. From here on in, your version is my headcanon when up to now she died saving the half-sister she never knew she had from Belthazor (Source was never part of my headcanon before. He is now, but the one at the end of S3 not the actor with the bad makeup of S4). |

I would have loved this. Shannen said in a video once (see below) that she had been asking to leave Charmed since early season three. I'm not sure whether or not to believe this, but if this was the case I wish the show would have just agreed to let her out of her contract - this way they could have introduced Paige *before* Prue's death and actually given Prue a real death (like you are saying). It's funny how all the on screen deaths are the ones that didn't stick but the off screen one did. |

The scenarios of pregnant Phoebe and Cole becoming the Source were bad. If Prue died this way, she would first be known as the most powerful witch to ever hurt Source. I would like the source to be "gone" and potentially dead for the elders and for us for a year. Second, the new power of three wouldn't make the mistake of working separately. |

I really wish it just had've happened different - they could have let her exit gracefully but I guess they wanted to fire her or hurt her or something. Or maybe they did it this way for publicity - after all, many are still talking about Shannen's exit 20 years after it happened. Maybe if things ended in a respectful and graceful way no one would have watched season four... |

I think they liked their spin about the problems between Shannen and Alyssa after the problems she had on "Beverly Hill 90201" and I also think that's why they keep talking about it. I think it had more to do with her trying to produce the show herself, something Brad Kern couldn't stand. Shannen and Alyssa are both professionals who have been acting since they were children. When the director called "Action!" they would've done their roles; their problems (if they had problems) should NOT have been the reason (IF it was) to let Shannen go, which is why I don't think it was. I also think they fired her when they did so that Holly couldn't quit, since she was still under contract. |

If Prue were to die fighting the Source, then for me, it would be better if he stayed dead and his story wrapped up finally. The new Charmed Ones could be responsible for facing new kind of threats.
Or if the writers were really itching to do another Source story, then Phoebe should've been the next Source.
We've already been through Cole is evil or not evil storyline twice in season 3 and Phoebe defending him then rejecting him then repeat. How many times does the guy have to redeem himself?
Besides Charmed is supposed to be about the sisters and Phoebe is one of the leading characters. Season 1 with the Woogy episode foreshadowed something big coming up for her. More than just one episode big. And what's bigger than struggling against the Source of all Evil's leftover essence after it killed Prue?
Also instead of Phoebe always blaming Cole for everything going wrong with her life, she'll finally understand his struggles. And Cole could actually help her instead lying and manipulating. Both of them could grow as characters instead regress if Phoebe was the Source.

I agree with you and have full confidence that Shannen and Alyssa would have been professional even if they did have "problems" and any alleged issues weren't the reason Shannen was ultimately let go. I feel like if they did have problems it wasn't anything major. I think Shannen and Alyssa actually had GREAT chemistry in the first three seasons - I loved seeing them together and watch their relationship grow and change - they were quite dynamic together - I think moreso than Shannen-Holly or Alyssa-Holly. I also agree that they wanted to make her out to be the "ogress" and play up the drama between the women - something that is actually quite sexist considering the show was a feminist show. |

The show was never feminist - would not have been allowed in '98-06 - it was all about girl power - until Kern took over when it was all about guy power - a woman is nothing without her man. All part of why I count them as two totally different series.

Both of them could grow as characters instead regress if Phoebe was the Source. The source may well be missing until the next generation and no longer appear in the series. Prue would have a hell of a page in the Book of Shadows like Brianna with the Crystal Sword. I hate the idea of a new source. However, getting Zankou out of jail might allow the new power of three to work together and not make Prue's mistake. Phoebe had also made a mistake by leaving Prue and Piper in 3x22. However I do understand that Phoebe has a dark side (woogymen, pardon my past) if she gets evil it shouldn't last just two episodes ..... |
