Yesterday while watching Apocolypse, Now I thought since I have always thought that Prue's death was a bad way for her to go out considering she was a powerful witch just to die like she did (I think she died like a mortal not a witch). I think if she would have died in Apocolypse, Now it would have been better fitting then they way she finally did die. What do you think?

We wouldn't have really seen her die in Apocalypse Now, would we? After all, doesn't she just get sucked into a portal or something and we don't see her for half of the episode. After all, this was merely added in to give Shannen less screen time (which was what happened in the episode directly before she would direct an episode).

Had they set it up so that by sacrificing Prue and the Horseman truly preventing the Apocolypse, then, yes, it would've been a proper ending for my favorite sister, the way her sisters should've died by sacrificing themselves in Something Wicca This Way Goes? (no way astral projections can cast spells! If so, why not send out your astral projection to do all of the Charmed work and always stay safe? Not the same thing as Kill Billie, Vol 2--that was just saving their own a$$e$--nothing heroic about that). But only if it was necessary. It wasn't, so I preferred her actually dying to save an innocent, doing her duty as a Charmed One.

I think her dying was a good idea, but i'd of loved to of seen her her soul float into the air, to be met my Andy's soul.

I only mention this because I recently watched the episode. So astral projections can cast spells, if they're witches/magical I presume. |

Uh, and didn't the astrally projected Charmed Ones cast a really humungous spell in Something Wiccan to vanquish Zankou? The Suxen spell?

No, it was a secret spell from the Spell Book specially designed to destroy the Nexus...the effect of it rumbling the Shadow that feeds on the Dark Nexus and sucking the "White Nexus" power out of their Astral Selves (the "shininess" around them was them loosing the Nexus' power boost that made them officially "Charmed" and Wyatt "Twice Blessed") and the Explosion was the result of the Nexus (both White and Black) being destroyed as a whole. My only real question is if the Chandelier survived cause that is where the White Nexus usually would shoot from to make them Charmed or to bless Wyatt's coming...lol |

I think that the episode when Prue dies; 'all hell breaks loose' is a brilliant episode, and a really good episode for Prue to go in, but the way that it just ends with her and Piper lying on the floor, and not showing Leo healing Piper and trying to save Prue, and then the sisters devastation of losing Prue is rubbish. Just them talking about it in the 'charmed again' episode is not enough, it was such an easy way out, and I think they let the viewers down massively in doing that. I was so dissapointed for for that reason, but I do think that the episode was amazing...in fact I have found that nearly all my favourite episodes are ones that Doherty produced.

I think if she would have died in Apocolypse, Now it would have been better fitting then they way she finally did die. What do you think? She's a witch not a whitelighter; she is still human and thus can die like any human supernatural or moral can. In fact if you remember in the episode Pre-Witched we are shown that Grams died of an old fashion normal heart attack. Personally I think Prue's death was very fitting. She and Piper flew across the room and crashed through the walls. Any one who's not immortal would die from such a harsh blow. And witches are not immortal just because they have magical powers. So personally I believe it was a very convincing and fitting death. plus, regarding your idea ,its like foxfire said in Apocolypse now Prue was hardly in that episode, and I figure they wanted her to go out dramatically and with a bang since she would not be a returning death like Grams/Patty/Sam etc...in which case I think they did a perfect job of giving her a dramatic ending. I also agree with Esmeralda that having her die for an Innocent(although sadly the innocent went with her but it was no ones fault they tried and they are still human and thus can not always save everyone)was also a great decision on the AHBL writer's part. It also would have been nice as Drewsgal said if we were to at least see her be reunited with her love Andy. |

I didn't know they would use magic while in astral projection. I recalled that Prue could not use her telekinesis while in the same state in S3. Hmmmm . . . I wonder when they had learned to do this. |

Yes and they also did not know that any of the sisters were going to die anther reason she could not be killed in this episode. But I also meant that when Shannon left and they realized they had to kill her they decided they wanted to go out with a bang. |

Well, it seemed as though they hinted, in "Primrose Empath," that had Prue lived longer, she would have eventually been able to use her powers while in her astral form - - as well as astrally coexist as two Prue with active powers.
The Charmed Ones could have been able to use powers, as their astral selves in SWTWG, because they had been witches for much longer than Prue had in "Primrose Empath" (seven years for Piper and Phoebe, four for Paige), and the magic came much quicker to them while in astral form.

I do think it would have been better if she had died as a witch but not in that ep. I think it would have bben great if she had died protecting her sisters. Even though she saved a lot of onnocents her sisters were still the most impotrtant thing to her. But while she was protecting them sometimes it is duifuicult to see pas it and just see a pure worried love. It would have just reminded the viwers off that. If at the end while in spirit form they said a really emothional goodbye. What if she was killed bye the source and this would have given the new charmed ones the ultimate motive to vanquish him. Turning that in to a fan fic xD.

I THINK PRUE'S DEATH WAS THE WORST WAY FOR HER TO GET OFF THE SHOW. WHY, U MIGHT ASK IS BECAUSE HOW DID LEO SAVE PIPER BUT NOT PRUE. This is explained in Charmed Again. Prue's injuries must have been more severe than Piper's because Cole lead Leo and Phoebe out of Hell when they found out the Source was double crossing them thus arriving at the scene pretty quickly but since Prue's injuries must have been more severe she died before Leo got there. |

I think that Piper's injuries were as severe as Prue's. But when Leo finally reached the Manor, he healed Piper first. By the time he turned his attention to Prue, she was dead.

Yeah I think Prue's death was pretty dodgy...and it really annoyed me how they just cut from when they were lying on the floor to Piper trying to get Prue back..I know that there were reasons for that but still they could of thought of something else or something..it needed to be thought out more!! However I spose they didnt really have time to think of something better as Prue quit/got fired between seasons 3 & 4 so yeah..i dont know..one thing I know for sure though was that it was a really bad way to kill off Prue!
