I love how at it's heart, the show was about women empowerment, the bonds of sisterhood, about family.

Drunk On You

Yes. At heart the show was all about the sisters.

What does everyone think the show would have been like if the later seasons had been Prue, Piper, and Paige?

Drunk On You

I'm not sure. I think I would liked them better. But I haven't really seen a lot of the later seasons.

I would have liked it better with Prue, Piper and Paige. Phoebe started to annoy me in the later seasons. But she (Phoebe) was great in the frist three seasons.

It would have been really interesting to see how Paige and Prue interacted together. And if Phoebe was gone, Paige would probably have gotten the power of premonition. But would probably still have all her whitelighter powers as well.

Drunk On You

Pheobe did annoy me too later on.

Didn't at one point she lost her active powers?

BlackWhiteRose

Well Phoebe got the empath power in Season 6.
And she got her levitation power in Season 3 and in Season 1 and 2 she only got her visions and no active power. But if she ever lost an active power for a while I don`t know.

CloudDancer

She did. There was a trial with the sisters and some type of council (don't remember if it was the elders or some council from magical school) and they ruled that Phoebe misused her powers a lot so they took them away. She was able to retain the power of being a Charmed one so she could still do power of three spells, but didn't have her own individual powers. She "earned" back her premonition ability later on.



Phoebe's character annoyed me later on too. I would have liked to see Prue, Piper and Paige. I think Prue would have not have been accepting of Paige at first, but as soon as they fought a demon together she would have started to come around then go into protective older sister mode.

cherrios

I believe the show took away some of her active powers because it was getting too expensive to film.

Drunk On You

I could see that too.

Yes!

Glad I`m not the only one who didn`t like Phoebe in the later seasons.

Pheobe was my least favorite witch (before Paige) It seems like she was only around and kept over Prue for sex appeal. Her powers also sucked compared to Prue and Piper which adds to it. I also find her pairing with Cole to be overrated as hell. The guy repeatedly screwed her and her sisters over, kept trying to kill Pheobe and her sisters many times, then became obsessed with her. I still fail to see the love, she quickly got him p whipped IMO.

Drunk On You

She was my favorite in the early seasons. Haven't really seen a lot or at least in order of the later seasons to really form an opinion of her in there.
