Um, they weren't in a cave when he died.

It's a good thing that Beryl is so good looking because she sure is dumb.
Doesn't she realize that she caused this whole mess in the first place?
We never did get a good explanation of who or what Metalia was or why she
was called a Queen other than saying that she was somehow connected to
the power of the Crystal How was Beryl able to tap into Metalia in the
first place?
As for Beryl, what exactly was she Queen of? As far as I can tell, she
had exactly 4 subjects that she created by herself.

PSM's youma are more interesting than any of the others before this.

Oh, I was wondering why she had two.

She says she's done PLAYING queen. One way to read that is that she never
was a real queen at all.
Personally, Queen Beryl seems to be a spoiled brat with too much power.
Because she has some power, she sees herself and someone important and
calls herself a Queen, I doubt that she really is. She wants to get her
way and is willing to cause all sorts of trouble to get it no matter how
it affects anyone else.

I can see PSM destroying everything but herself, but why is Endymion
there? Did she re-create him to be with her or are they both ghosts?

Nothing like waiting to the very last possible moment. It's now or never.
Oh, and Congratulations!!!

Eh, the sand appeared when the world was destroyed, why is it still there
now after the world is restored? Are they on the new Earth or somewhere
else?

I hope that when Minako was re-created that her illness was left out.

I have to wonder though, I assume her family forgot her too and their new
lives made sense without Usagi in it, what happens when she shows up
again and needs to fit back in? That Crystal sure is a mysterious thing!
The End. :(
I was really looking forward to seeing the Oshiokiyo for these last eps,
but they just had that group interview and didn't talk about the final
episodes much at all. I'm a bit dissapointed in that.
All in all I really like this series. The girls, writers and directors
all did a good job (even the never mentioned stunt people). I have
quibbles all the way through though. There are so many little details
that just don't make sense. I think if the details had been taken care of
better, this could have been an even more excellent series.

I'll get my Tux pressed. ^_^
