Prue was able to channel the heightened emotions from her empathy to fuel her telekinesis and astral projection. Prue’s initial trigger was strong emotion so Prue’s power empathy was so amazing because of the combination of powers she had that field each other . Phoebe has passive powers so her empathy was somewhat walled off from her premonitions and levitation. Also Phoebe has bad karma from past life misuse of more aggressive powers so like she did in this life from misuse she had to earn stronger powers through her life cycles . Shorthand it’s the combination of powers that made Prue Jean Grey and Phoebe pretty kewl in her own right. (Let’s say psylocke)😅
@@rayalexander3734 I don’t think phoebe empathy was separate from her premonition as it was due to her advanced why she developed it. If anything had her power not been removed she would be able to have visions without touching things, like in this scene. Phoebe premonition grew to where she would feel the emotions in her visions of the past and future so it made sense to do it in the present. Also i would like to think piper has been able to speed up molecules from maybe season one where she learns to unfreeze by speeding up the molecules. In season 3 it got so advanced that she is able to combust.
@@rayalexander3734 I never thought of Phoebe not having an active power, or at least not a super strong one, as a result of her past life karma. That is such a cool angle, thank u for that.
This level of power is what we should have saw from prue when piper was shot in the season 3 finale. She should literally been off her rocker and unstoppable
1here. Prue was almost at Jean Grey’s lvl. Mortals can’t handle magic, just as witches can’t have powers they’re not destined for. Without going mentally crazy. That’s so not fair.
The mortals i agree with but as for witches, evil witches and warlocks take powers that aren’t theirs. I think some powers are just too much to handle. Also empathy and telepathy tends to take a toll when you can’t control it.
@@sifilore9462 well the only time we have seen someone not handling the powers is when it comes to mortals and the power of empathy. Every other time they just got corrupted. The show tends to use “destiny” when they want to dictate something.
Wow! Prue is really powerful specially if she's out of control something like this. As u can see also the acting wow! Shannen/Prue is really good clap clap to u Prue/Shannen 👏👏👏👏💞💞💞😍😍😍😍
By the time Shannen left, the creator was already gone and Brad Kern ruined the show a bit. I feel like it had more to so with Constance leaving than Shannen.
@@BlackGirlMarvel Maybe that is another reason they let her go was because she was in agreeance with Constance about the show and didn't get along with Brad and was more vocal about it because once both women were gone the outfits became more sexy, men were becoming more dominant in the story, and the sisters lives less important unless it was to serve a needy for love story.
@@aiden877 Shannen wanted the show to be more serious (because if you want to be recognized as a good actress, that's a good way to show it). She directed a few great episodes too, so I see why she was so involved with the quality of the show. But Brad Kern knew that the ratings spiked with increasing amount of bare skin, which caused the confrontation of quality drama vs sexplotation. At first they said she resigned, which was understandable... Sadly, she actually got fired. I guess she had the kind of charisma that could make people stand together beside her, and the producers didn't like that AT ALL.
@@BlackGirlMarvel For me charmed seassons 1 to 4, both included were the best. Actually seasson 4 with Paige was great enough. But then seasson 5 and 6 were soooo bad (in my opinion) except some count episodes. Seasson 7 and 8 had their good episodes but never the same as from the beginning.
@@lizzy4827How was she insufferable? She was learning the ability 😂 Of course she was gonna be privy to things just like Prue was calling people out in the beginning of this episode.
Who do you think was a more powerful empath, Prue or Phoebe? Prue, being the first-born, seems like the obvious choice given her telekinesis alone could destroy any enemy she faced. However, Phoebe had a natural empathy even before gaining empathic powers, and with her premonition abilities, she could feel what she saw. Later, she became an empath and, by 2009, acquired the powerful ability of psychic reflection. Although I love Prue, I'm leaning towards Phoebe because in 2003 she got her empath power and did significant damage with it, reflecting powers and channeling emotions. It just seemed to suit her better.
I agree. This is hands down one of the best episodes of Charmed. It was cool seeing Prue in a vulnerable state and able to channel the ability to stop the unstoppable demon. But empathy was made for Phoebe and thus suited her better, the only difference is the writing 😂 The writers let Phoebe down but she would've eventually grown to be able to reflect premonitions back to people as she was already able to share in and share premonitions. Having the ability to put the grief of demons back on them is Fury level. Phoebe got let down in the writers room.
In terms of power, it's Prue, without a doubt. She is the most powerful of her lineage, and empathy multiplies this power. In terms of consistency, it's Phoebe. Phoebe naturally understands the feelings of others, this power suits her, and Prue was not destined to receive this gift (which makes Prue's feat even more incredible). The paradox is that Phoebe developed the gift of empathy at a time when she became completely self-centered. This is the problem in its evolution. The Phoebe of seasons 1 and 2 was a better empath, without the power of empathy, than the Phoebe who received the power.
The acting by Shanon is so good here.
Shanon was one of the best actors in this series in my opinion 🤷🏿♀️
Shannen really is such an amazing actress. She’s so great with emotional scenes
I wonder why they never explored this whole aspect of AMAZING powers with Phoebe’s empathy gift.
Because they realized they made her too powerful. That's why they stripped her from her powers.
@@steevenhyde3505 It was due to budgets cut they stripped Phoebe down.
Prue was able to channel the heightened emotions from her empathy to fuel her telekinesis and astral projection.

Shannon's was acting so good in this scene like her rent was due ‼️in this whole episode really prue was always my fav💓
Not the rent was due😂😂

That would have been so cool
She was for two short scenes lol

@@adriananderson7079 Nah. I believe since the 2000's when I watched this. It's all about species itself, and what destiny dictates.

It kinda is fair tho lol
@@adriananderson7079they're more corrupt than a good witch. Which is why Cole was able to house all those powers.
Wow! Prue is really powerful specially if she's out of control something like this. As u can see also the acting wow! Shannen/Prue is really good clap clap to u Prue/Shannen 👏👏👏👏💞💞💞😍😍😍😍
Such a good actress. ❤

Shannen really deserved an Emmy. Where is Justice?
They shouldve let prue keep the power. She wouldve put it to way better use than phoebe did
Phoebe was so insufferable with hers 😅
Nah she wouldn't have cause if the writers ruined how Phoebe handled it they would've for Prue.
@@lizzy4827How was she insufferable? She was learning the ability 😂 Of course she was gonna be privy to things just like Prue was calling people out in the beginning of this episode.
@@BlackGirlMarvel phoebe literally used that power for selfish reasons all the time. Prue would never.

Season 3, Episode 6: Primrose Empath
Who do you think was a more powerful empath, Prue or Phoebe? Prue, being the first-born, seems like the obvious choice given her telekinesis alone could destroy any enemy she faced.

The power of empathy is certainly not for everyone
Jean Grey
This is much better than what they did with Phoebe. At least Prue did constantly complain about people having feelings.
