   I was wondering about the cat, thinking how in the world did he know   
   *that*.

   That was hilarious. ^_^

   I'm still waiting for Mako to come around. I thought that would happen   
   in the alley scene in episode 31 but appearently not. Despite my proof   
   page to the contrary, I have to admit that this is the first time I've   
   watched Sailor Moon end to end looking for 'these' sorts of signs.   
   Actually, I've picked up on some additional scenes that I might like   
   to incorporate, especially ones from this episode. ^_^

   It is a bit odd. His name means "protect" in Japanese, and he does   
   usually show up at those occasional opportune moments to save the day.   
   However, I suppose if he did more then toss roses, they would have to   
   rename the show.

   No question there.
