   And Uranus continues to make terrible judgment calls in my opinion.   
   She effectively commits suicide, leaving Sailor Moon to fend for   
   herself, not only completely alone in an enemy stronghold, but without   
   giving her any real guidance on what she should do with these   
   mysterious talismans.   
      
   An amazing thing with the dub was that they left that whole   
   hand-holding scene intact with all the poignant undertones. And they   
   even started calling U&N's transformation by the right name, Planet   
   Power instead of Star Power. I wonder if there are actually two   
   writers who are each given a handful of scripts to rewrite and they   
   make it a point to not speak to each other or compare notes.
