   I find the whole thing very confusing, maybe the next few eps will help,   
   but I doubt it.   
      
   I was wondering about Sailor Saturn herself. All this messiah stuff   
   aside, Uranus is worried about Saturn simply awakening, What's that all   
   about and what good is a senshi that wrecks havock as soon as she   
   awakens?
