   Here we meet Momo, Chibi-Usa’s friend from school, who she apparently   
   met her very first day, but hasn’t been worth mentioning til now.   
      
   Chibi-Usa is sick, again.  It appears to be a good old fashioned cold   
   this time, as opposed to the evil induced dream illness, or the evil   
   induced flu, or...  Well, you get the idea.   
      
   They let Minako is the room with Chibi-Usa?  I wonder which of the   
   girls’ job it was to get her out of there if she started feeling ‘helpful’.   
      
   You’d think someone would have noticed a riot at the local elementary   
   school and contacted the authorities?  A neighbor, someone passing by,   
   the local traffic helicopter, somebody.  Maybe that’s just me.   
      
   Was it just me, or was the splitting up of the team really not needed?   
   It effectively isolated Sailor Moon, but the others got back before   
   anything actually happened.  Although it did provide a slight Ami and   
   Makoto moment, where Ami is very much talking for both of them.  They’re   
   a pair, where one goes, the other does, (until Sailor Moon explicitly   
   splits them up)  Although the decision to leave Sailor Moon alone is a   
   bit odd.  Perhaps they just don’t realize that the situation at the   
   school is as serious as it is?   
      
   Makoto seems to be picking up Ami’s knack for finding clever ways to use   
   her powers, driving her Sparkling Wide Pressure into the ground to stun   
   the two enemies long enough for Sailor Moon to get them.  The end of the   
   fight still felt rushed, though, with all the build up the MotD had gotten.   
      
   The falling skeleton was great.  Yes, Usagi’s a crybaby, but be honest,   
   that’d have scared the bejeezus out of you too.  ^_-   
      
   Since when does Mamoru make decisions for everyone?  Heck, since when   
   does he even make decisions for himself?  Though regardless, it’s time   
   to head to the future and take this fight to the enemy.  Ami in   
   particular looked rather adamant in supporting the decision.  She’s   
   mentioned it a few times this episode and in the past, she doesn’t like   
   fighting an enemy whose goals she doesn’t understand.  Then again, the   
   chance to actually experience time travel probably has no small appeal   
   to someone like her, as well.  ^_-
