I feel like entirely too many of the reviews for this episode don't understand the whole time travel thing. When they go to the past, they obviously have to be careful because they can change things, so if they see the future, of course they can change it. I mean, wasn't the whole point of the episode for them to see where they were going and to avoid it?
Prue dies, yes, we know. And obviously she changes her course before she dies. She is obviously not happy with how her future appears while she's there, so why wouldn't she change it?
This episode is by far one of my favorites. I like seeing how people in 1999 thought life would be like in 2009 (I'm looking at you, voice controlled TVs) and I love seeing what Piper and Prue and Phoebe grew to be. Their future selves are much more accepting of personal gain than they seemed to be in the future that actually occurs, and it's interesting to see how little it takes for them to change from one belief (protecting innocents) to another (murdering a human for revenge because they murdered someone else).
The scene where Phoebe burns at the stake always makes me tear up, and it's good to see that they learned the lesson they needed to, even though Phoebe needed to remind them before they ended up back on the same path again.
This is one episode that holds my attention every time I decide to rewatch it.
