   Heh, those were my own thoughts exactly. ^_^

   That was a pretty deep observation on Mako's part. It's a shame the   
   dub wiped that all out.

   I think the goal of this episode was to show that the aliens don't eat   
   at all, they are completely unfamiliar with the concept. All their   
   nutrition comes from the tree.

   Some very good observations here, SK. And of course she tags along. If   
   this sub-story is right, I imagine Ami is quite curious about how far   
   the date went. ^_^

   Ouch!! They really got well fried. Good thing they landed in water.   
   However, I see that Usagi freshened up quite nicely in time for her   
   signature attack ^_-

   Yes sir, that looked like it royally hurt there.
