   Agreed.  Aside from nearly losing the Moon Stick a few times, she's   
   always been pretty good with the broach.

   I was pleased to see Usagi not be so perfect.  All of her friends were   
   just abducted because Chibi-usa refused to just ask her for help, and   
   the girl stole her one way of actually even trying to save them.  She   
   has every reason to be mad, and for once, she is.  I found the end of   
   the episode to be very satisfying and emotional.  It felt *real*.  So   
   often, she just forgives, but this time, she was truly, uncontrollably   
   angry.  And I think that, more than auto-forgiveness, will be more   
   effective on Chibi-usa at this time.  But that's just me.

   It was my first time watching this episode as well.  Of the next 16,   
   I've only seen one or two of them, and not even all the way through on   
   most of them.  And I've only seen them dubbed, so this is going to be a   
   completely new experience entirely.  Fun stuff!
