   Yea, but they are always keeping Usagi in the dark. I know their   
   intentions are good, but they aren't really being honest friends.

   Yes, very dissapointing. You know, Ami isn't being used very well in this   
   series at all. Her only true advantage is her high IQ and the only time   
   she's used that was during the game show. Even with her own experience of   
   being left out and alone she doesn't put 2 and 2 together to make better   
   decisions about how to relate to her friends.

   First Mars, now Artemis. Usagi is being kept 'safe' out of the way and   
   Venus keeps passing out. Mercury, Jupiter and Luna can't do the job by   
   themselves. Why doesn't the 'leader' see this.

   Well, the horns were impressive... in a weird sort of way.

   Mio sure is creepy, just seeing her smile you know there's gonna be   
   trouble.

   Minako can learn from her own lessons. She helped Rei to awaken her   
   powers by helping her trust in her friends, but Minako herself is pushing   
   her friends away. It's not suprising that can't henshin now.

   There really aren't any options, Jupiter is all that's left, if the youma   
   is going to go down, it's Jupiter that has to do it.   
      
   Of course it would have been nice to have THE REST OF THE TEAM HELPING!!!

   Aaaaaaahhhhh, they can't end the episode like that!!! O_o
