   That's kind of how I felt.  I mean, it was pretty cool of her to walk   
   away cheerily, pretending it was okay.  Granted, her little fit with   
   Luna later was a little immature, but can you call it immaturity when   
   there's no one around to see it? ^_-  Well, aside from Luna, but she's   
   basically just one of Usagi's appendages anyway at this point.

   And needless to say, that isn't a particularly apt description of Sailor   
   Jupiter anyway.  Glad she had a comeback ready. ^_-   
      
   Let's see...I actually liked this episode a bit.  I mean, it was pretty   
   pointless, but it flowed very well (which unfortunately, some of the   
   good/dramatic episodes don't always do).  Tuxedo Mask backing away when   
   Esmeraude started commenting on his appearance was priceless.  And it   
   was nice seeing Mercury being the last Senshi standing in the fight.   
      
   The little sound effect when Diamande's eye glints (after Esmeraude   
   mentioned her love) sounded like it was straight out of a Rose of   
   Versailles swordfight. ^^;   
      
   I was a bit thrown off by the gluttony of the girls.  Usagi made sense,   
   and even Minako a little bit.  But seeing Makoto, Rei, and Ami stuff   
   their faces just felt weird. Once again, this episode has Ami and Makoto   
   just sort of together.  No real theory moments, except in the fact that   
   they're pretty much always next to each other.
