   I agree. But at least the setup was short and the mirror scene done   
   off-camera.

   It does seem to have been needlessly drawn out. But I look at it this   
   way. They had to, in effect, offer up their henshin wands for the   
   power up. If Pegasus had neutralized the wands instead of enhancing   
   them, the senshi would have been powerless against any further   
   attacks.   
      
   I'm not sure that I see any love lesson in this episode, but on the   
   other hand, it is critical to the story-line. I'm thinking that   
   episodes that move the story forward may not have a lesson for the   
   week and so that's how I'll call this one unless someone can think of   
   something better.   
      
   The dub of this episode was so horrible that I think my ears were   
   bleeding by the end of it. The slang index was through the roof. Does   
   the script writer really believe that American teenagers speak this   
   way? Robert asking Rini to "kick it back" with him sometime? Buggin',   
   fine, trippin', fly, playin', I think they had a slang dictionary and   
   decided to try and use every word in it. Then after the senshi get   
   their power-up, the dub changed all the attack names to make them   
   sound 'super'. Mega Mars, Superior Sparkling, Super Aqua, it makes you   
   want to cry, it really does.
