   I really liked that scene with Mamoru and Usagi.  He was so cute being   
   bewildered like that. ^^;

   However, two months have passed since that reset.  So, it's likely Rei   
   has already met Yuuichirou off-camera (which is also why Makoto's   
   already at the school, etc).  What I'm more curious about is Minako.   
   She *seems* to have no memory of being Sailor V currently (well, now   
   that's she's had it restored...)   
      
   While they were put back in time (there's really not much to dispute   
   this, given the age, date, etc of when R starts), everything else is   
   difficult.  Hey, it's a kid's show, they're allowed to fudge things a   
   bit, I suppose.  It makes things very confusing, but...well, it's still   
   kind of okay.  I actually had written out a big paragraph of a theory,   
   until I realized what a paradox what I was saying created.  There really   
   isn't an explanation why people seem to remember Sailor Moon (there's a   
   live show episode coming up pretty soon that's simply too quick to occur   
   without prior Sailor Moon popularity in my opinion), but things were   
   very clearly rewound.  I suppose rather than wracking our brains to   
   explain everything, it's probably just best to nod and move on.  I   
   figure we should just leave the mess to Sailor Pluto.  Can you imagine   
   the paperwork?

   True, but who would really want to force people they cared about into   
   risking their lives to fight evil?  Even if the girls didn't mind bein   
   senshi, that doesn't mean Usagi and the cats wanted to put them in that   
   dangerous position once more.   
      
   Rei and Makoto were awesome fighting in civilian form!  Loved it.   
      
   Ami speaks in an especially quiet and shy voice this episode.  Not like   
   she was towards the end of the first season.  She hasn't come out of her   
   shell just yet.  I kind of liked seeing this (as well as Makoto's   
   reaction in the previous episode when Usagi commented on her reputation.)
