I was just watching this episode. I just realized that the girls had a simple but effective attack strategy that they always used when fighting a demon or warlock. When they fought the assassin that was riddling their house with bullets, they each recited their roles before going in for the attack and it occurred to me that this is what often did in battles in the first 3 seasons.  |

I never realized that either, nice catch! It seemed like later on they didn't really know exactly what would happen so they incorporated potions into the mix more and didn't have quite as clear of a plan.

It's not one of my favorite because of Prue
I like Bane, I like Bane and Prue, I like the idea of a human conscious of being allied with a demon but Prue was too much actracted to fur coats and jewels, too much ditz

 It's strange an assassin considers the power to see the future as useless. I guess she assumed even if Phoebe saw the future, showering a hell lot of bullets on Phoebe would solve the problem. |

Yeah, probably because Phoebe couldn't physically use her powers(Piper Freezing or Prue slamming her into a clock haha)to hurt her only see the future. |

This was the first episode were she astral projected, I loved that scene in bucklands during the meeting when she astral projected out in front of her coworker. Abd the look on his face when she regained herself. It was also the first episode where Daryl learned about the sisters being witches. Piper uses th D word for the first time in front of him and every episode after this where she said "Demon" in front of him he took offense to it. Also phoebe trying to talk to Daryl about what they did while he was speeding down the highway was hilarious. Almost making him have an accident. Couldn't tell if he was speeding to get to the scene of the bomb or subconsciously to get there quicker to shut Phoebe up. He wanted nothing to do with it, didn't want to hear about it.. Funny as he pestered them for so long to know the truth and what Andy knew. |

Yeah, probably because Phoebe couldn't physically use her powers(Piper Freezing or Prue slamming her into a clock haha)to hurt her only see the future. I think perhaps that's why she didn't plant a bomb in the Manor like she did at Marcy's shop. It would've easily taken out all the sisters. But Phoebe would've seen the explosion and stopped it. Unfortunately, the tactic of showering bullets and then sneaking through the back to kill them from behind still failed badly. Alice Hicks was more successful in killing a sister. Even Abby got extremely close. And they both weren't professional assassins. Just a bit crazy. I'm getting a feeling Ms. Hellfire didn't take the whole powers thing more seriously. The people she killed before on the list Barbas gave her were all practitioners right? So she didn't witness supernatural magic and probably just assumed it was a joke. This led her to not take more precautions or try different weapons. She should've gone for a sniper or something. And attempt to take out Prue from behind first since her powers could not only freeze attacks but send them back at the attacker. She should've tried teargas if she really was desperate to confront the sisters from behind. She also should've taken back-up. |

The killer had organized a feint to get behind and kill the sisters a hail of gunfire, I believe Hellfire was good at her job, no power can protect from bullets hitting you from behind
The episode is built well, with good characters
I dont' like Prue, dressed in a leather bra and a fur coat, Prue dancing and rubbing with a stranger, caressing furs and like crazy in front of make-up and orchids
All things which Piper does not even shoot a glance
In Morality Bites again I didn't like Prue
I can understand Phoebe who goes crazy because of grave injustice, I can feel sad seeing Piper alone with her little girl but I can't stand go-getter Prue, vain, rich, with two servants, away from her sisters
Mis Hellefire Prue recolled MB Prue

Based on who we saw Prue as during the episode where Piper gets married, the Prue in Hellfire and Morality Bites is something I can see very clearly. It's not the Prue I want to see, but I think she had that side to her. In some ways, she's a lot like Phoebe. If she hadn't had to grow up so fast and had to deal with so much loss so early in life, I can see Prue spinning completely out of control. It's the same way I can accept Phoebe being very sweet and mature during points in the early seasons. She grew up quite naturally during that time.
It's kind of funny, because Phoebe was a mess at times, Paige had her crazy days, I think Prue did have it in her to be a bit wild, but I can't see Piper that way. I'm thinking of Centennial Charmed where she was this tough demon hunter, but I don't think it's a realistic portrayal of Piper, even as a reaction to extreme grief.

I do wonder how Prue would be if she didn't essentially become the "mom" of her sisters. Of course, if Patty was around that would change everything but I wish we could have seen what they would be like without losing Patty in an episode. |

That would be a really cool alternate reality to see! Although I think if Patty had not died, Prue would be a lot more like Piper. Maybe not so shy and timid, but definitely not a workaholic like we saw in season 1.
I think deep down, Prue and Phoebe could have switched places and each ended up in the positions we saw in the show. I think it all had to do with the order in which they were born, and the events early in their lives, especially Prue remembering her mother and father and Phoebe not being able to.

In the season 2 finally "Be careful what you witch for" piper said prue was a nightmare at 17 after prue got turned to 17 from the genies wish. She was obviously worse than phoebe was at that age. She just had to grow up faster.

Exactly. I wish Prue had lived and we could have seen a natural evolution into each of the sisters not being so sharply defined by their birth order. As Piper got more assertive and Phoebe grew up more, Prue could relax a little and let the more reckless side of her come out. We saw that a bit in season 3 with her obsession with demon hunting and leading less and less of a traditional life with things like work.

I think had Prue been alive Piper would've remained the middle sister who mediated between her oldest and youngest sister still and so when she took on the eldest role Piper did so because she had no choice really.

I don't think
Phoebe is not fascinated by the career: when Jason pushed her to play a more important role, she agreeded to please him, but she dind't like it and it didn't fit for her
Phoebe'ld be more like Piper, if being the little sister and so lonely, without parents, hadn't develope her rebellious side
Piper and Phoebe are the classic girl next door, once they were satisfied with husband and children, at the dawn of the twenty-first century they also want a job they'ld like
Prue and Paige are more similar, unquiet, dissatisfied, always looking for something different, with an artistic side - photography for Prue, painting for Paige - that influences their relationship with work
Piper adores cooking, Phoebe adores being a columnist, Prue doesn't stand a job for which she was qualified, Paige quits the job for which she studied with no regrets
Piper and Phoebe are simple folk - I can't imagine neither of them moaning in front of a closet full of clothes - Prue and Paige fly high
