I wish it was that...
Paige COULD NEVER take Prue's place. Prue was the oldest and the eldest. She seemed to be the person that kept everyone in line. Always the most responsible and mature. I always thought of Piper being all panicky, feisty,and naive. In my oppinion, she isn't quite fit to take the role on being the oldest sister. Paige and Phoebe just seems to be hyper for some reason, like so energetic. Also Phoebe is sort of naive when it comes to love.
So we are missing an element.. The oldest sister, Prue.
Having a new addition to the charmed ones would have been so much better than just replacing Prue. You can't replace her, she's irreplaceable!!
Paige may have similar powers that are similar to Prue's but they aren't the same. Yes, they both can move things with their minds but Prue was able to use telekinesis and move it physically. Paige had more of a mental twist to it, she was able to "teleport" the object. Just doesn't have the same feel, which is a good thing. Seeing anothe character using Prue's powers would have made me kinda mad. Also, Orbing and Astro-projection were very different too. Orbing was definitely a whitelighter technique, but people are saying it's similar to Astro-projection. Yes, the objectives are the same but they are still different powers. Sure, she (Paige) was able to teleport somewhere else and Prue was able to teleport using her Astro-Projection self but still remained in presence.
Sorry about the ramble.. I am still a little uneasy about Prue not being with them. The power of 4 would have been so cool. Although, they would have been really strong!! But.. "Bring it on!!!"
Power of 4 rocks!!
