   Honestly, it felt like a Scooby Doo episode.  A poorly done one at that. ^^;

   I think she's just afraid of creepy things?  Earlier I thought it was a   
   fear of dolls, but it seems more like she's afraid of anything   
   horror-related.

   Great scene, both with Usagi telling Ami to play, and with Ami talking   
   to Sakiko about becoming Usagi's friend.   
      
   Ami was showing some spirit today.  And was being a bit playful with   
   regard to joining Rei in hurling the beachball at Usagi (and refusing to   
   'save' her from Rei later on).   
      
   Is it just me, or does it seem like Sakiko knows who Sailor Mercury is?   
     I mean, there was nothing blatant, but Sailor Mercury was clearly   
   talking to the girl as Ami, and she seemed to be responding as if   
   talking to Ami.  It wouldn't be the only time a 'psychic friend' of   
   Ami's figured things out.  I just felt like it was a case of her   
   knowing, but not caring.  There wasn't the whole "where am I?" wake up   
   later like there so often is, although technically she was under   
   hypnosis/unconscious when Ami transformed.  But still, I like to think   
   she's a smart but discreet little girl.   
      
   The infomous Tuxedo Kamen windsufing scene.  Usagi-chan is weird.   
      
   Also, I think I may have heard wrong, but I swear I heard Rei refer to   
   Usagi as "Usagi-chan" when talking to Luna at one point, but I didn't   
   want to bug SK by rewinding to double-check.  I'm probably just   
   imagining things. ^^;
