I remember fans in 1999 pointing and laughing at the idea that American society could turn into the one we see in this episode. Of course, that was before the War On Terror, The Patriot Act, the Tea Party, and the Trump Administration. Doesn't seen so funny now, does it. It's like Chris Levinson & Zack Estrin (two of Charmed's best writers, IMO) had a crystal ball when they wrote this episode. Sadly, Nathanial Pratt would fit right into the current American climate.
Of course, this future showed us a very much alive Prue. Clearly, the events that led to her death didn't happen in this time line. And I have to wonder, what became of Paige. I guess she never discovered her true heritage.
Melinda, Piper and Leo's daughter, is the same age that Wyatt would be. No doubt something else was changed, perhaps Prue's death did that.
Who did Cal Green kill? Considering that the sisters had virtually no friends as the show went on, I have to wonder just whom this person was.
Of course, the big message of this episode was that the Charmed Ones mandate was to protect the Innocent, NOT punish the guilty. When Phoebe realized what her alternate self had done, killing Green, she was willing to own up and face the punishment. That was the whole point of the visit to the future.
Of course, all that got flushed down the toilet when Kernus seized power. Just ask Phoebe's old high school friend, Rick.
The prison Phoebe is held in, is the Tillman Water plant. This building was used as Starfleet Headquarters in the later Trek shows.
A good and powerful episode.
