   I've noticed that the writers are careful to keep Mamoru at the same   
   competence/respect level as the outers (The tea ceremony episode comes   
   to mind, for example).   
      
   This *is* an odd story. Uranus says that by the time they revived in   
   this era, the enemies had already come to Earth. But then Neptune says   
   that they overlooked the invasion, that it was their fault it had come   
   this far. It seems that if they are depending on some sort of   
   automatic resurrection in response to alien invasions, then they   
   should hold the process at fault rather then themselves.   
      
   In the dub, we are back to all the outer senshi using "Star Power"   
   again. Also, for some odd reason, the dub Professor keeps his "cocoa"   
   in a can clearly labeled "coffee".

   Sunnie did mention in a previous post that they currently didn't have   
   time which is a real shame. I enjoyed their contributions to the   
   discussion.
