22-Fave episodes from top 50-episodes Season1 -3

[rebooted]

A 50-options poll-limit for 66 episodes of Charmed to chose from. 

Top 50 of 66 narrowed down from polls in Top 8 Episode Season 1-3 polls in other threads. 

Thought it would be nice to chose 22 Shannen included episodes that are your favorites and compare.

This poll would be very hard to select the top 50 episodes for the 112 episodes from Season 4 - Season 8 (Paige era) but I'll try.

I used this system from a varying of "rank the season" threads. Here's the criteria:

Priorities
- Power Balance. ALL THREE sisters MUST use their powers/abilities, in the SAME episode. This includes Phoebe's (Strength) Martial Arts. And, how well the episode ACTUALLY balances out their powers, where no one sister feels like their powers/abilities are being used more than another.
- "Protect/Save the Innocent(s)". I'm more invested in episodes protecting/saving innocents than an episode simply attacking the Charmed Ones, no Innocent(s) involved.
- ALL THREE Sisters. ALL THREE sisters are to be present/around during most of the fighting/final fight. Surprisingly, not every sister is involved, funny enough.
- Family History. If not "Protect/Save the Innocent(s)" type of episodes, then I will settle for a "Family History" type of episode over something generically going after the Charmed Ones.
- Original Powers/Abilities. Original powers/abilities are preferred but not AS important, as just having ALL THREE sisters, using their powers/abilities, in general, in the SAME episode.
- Exceptions. Of course, exceptions CAN be made, it just all really depends.

New exception is prioritizing original Warren powers over secondary ones, though later seasons is difficult to find this, but I did try. Anyway, I (also) tried to be even across all three seasons. I chose 7 episodes for S1 & S3, and 8 episodes from S2, for a couple of reasons:

1) S2 is my least favorite Prue Era season and wanted to challenge myself.
2) This poll listed two S3 episodes, together, as one, and that already makes 2 episodes for 1 vote which makes it a little unfair, but I digress.

The 22 that I chose:

S1E2 "I've Got You Under My Skin"
S1E4 "Dead Man Dating"
S1E7 "The Fourth Sister"
S1E8 "The Truth is Out There...and it Hurts"
S1E13 "From Fear to Eternity"
S1E15 "Is There a Woogy, in the House?"
S1E19 "Out of Sight"

S2E5 "She's a Man, Baby, a Man"
S2E7 "They're Everywhere"
S2E8 "P3 H20"
S2E11 "Reckless Abandon"
S2E16 "Murphy's Luck"
S2E18 "Chick Flick"
S2E19 "Ex Libris"
S2E21 "Apocalyspe, Not"

S3E1 "The Honeymoon's Over" / S3E2 "Magic Hour"
S3E3 "Once Upon a Time"
S3E5 "Sight Unseen"
S3E6 "Primrose Empath"
S3E9 "Coyote Piper"
S3E17 "Prewitched"
S3E18 "Sin Francisco"

S1E15 "Is There a Woogy, in the House?"
S1E17 "That 70s Episode"
S1E19 "Out of Sight"
S1E22 "Deja Vu All Over Again"

S2E1 "Witch Trial"
S2E2 "Morality Bites"

I wonder who will take top place once a few more votes come in.

Surprised Morality Bites isn't a leader at the moment too.

I predict Morality Bites, That 70s Episode or even a few other S1 episodes will be the top.

To match similarly (but not exactly) to what I did in my Favorite (or Preferred) Prue Era Episode(s) from This List Part 1 poll.

I'm splitting my 22 votes into (S1) 7 / (S2) 8 / (S3) 7. Since, S1 & S3 are an odd number, 4/7 of those votes will be geared more towards "Power Balance and/or Protect/Save the Innocent(s)", type of episode(s). The 3/7 will be geared towards overall enjoyment of the episode(s) regardless of statistics. S2 is an even number of 8, so the votes are evenly split (Stats) 4 / (Fun) 4. I'm still challenging myself in picking more S2 episodes than S1 & S3. My new votes:

Votes Towards "Power Balance" and/or "Protect/Save the Innocent(s)" Type of Episodes
Season One
S1E4 "Dead Man Dating"
S1E7 "The Fourth Sister"
S1E8 "The Truth is Out There...and it Hurts"
