   The youma tosses Mercury into the water, there's got to be a good 'You   
   soggy' joke in there somewhere! ^_-

   Must have been interesting walking back home barefoot and in PJs, though   
   I guess she could have henshined till she got home.

   Beryl sure has her problems, first she couldn't get enough power for   
   Metalia, now she has too much. If she's not careful, she'll be ruling   
   over a burned out cinder.

   I agree, Rei would protect Usagi as a friend, not as a mission.

   But it's Beryl who's causing Usagi to be upset. I think Beryl could use   
   some therapy or maybe a session with Dr Phil.

   I wish she knew another tune, that one is starting to get to me.

   Finally, Usagi has caught up and knows the real score. It's taken 40   
   episodes for her to wake up.

   Both Mars and Jupiter had great attacks there. Impressive.

   LOL, sure sounds like it!!! Maybe the youma was made out of a duck.

   I'm sure she'll smile until she realizes that she has no way to get   
   home... unless she can ride that bike that Mamoru left behind.   
      
   That's twice in one episode that she's stranded somewhere at night. At   
   least, since she seems to be ok the next day, we know she can take care   
   of herself.

   Rei is clearly doing her best to help a friend that she cares about,   
   Venus is very stubborn, she's made her decision and plans to stick with   
   it.
