Newly Abandoned

I remember this show. Season 1 was the best IMO. I guess it appealed to girls more then boys, but I liked it
I was sort of a fanatic in the 90's. Bought the VHS's alot. I think I got all the movies... Though I was suprised of the shows fall, seeing it was catching on so well. Short lived much? I actually liked Sailor Mars and her red hot attitude. Sort of reminded me of myself back in the day. As for episodes, Season 1's last episode was very good. Though I liked the movies better

I'm approaching the end of Season One on my DVD collection; I ran a mini-marathon yesterday, Episodes 25-36, while my system was busy moving data from the C drive to the F drive. It's been getting pretty intense, but there've been some funny moments, too, such as the episode where Serena and Lita are competing over Andrew. (Had to smile grimly about that one; on the rare occasions when I've had to deal with rivals, I don't talk to them, I take them down, and by any means necessary.) And you can always count on Sailor Moon to say something stupidly cute. I won't bother citing examples; there're too many to choose from.
I've got to say this, too; watching Lita transform into Sailor Jupiter... wow. In particular, the sequence where the camera starts on her green lace-up boots and works up to her tiara while she spins really takes my breath away. |

Her "ex-boyfriend" thing turned into a running gag but I always found her approach to meeting new guys to be truly genuine. She's shy and isn't egotistical about anything and she doesn't shower you with attention as aggressively as Raye tried to do with Darien when she "dated him". I honestly never could see how Raye thought Darien liked her, I mean it just seemed way out there for me. Despite the fact he's displayed as a burnt out bonehead, I really like Chad and his relationship with Raye, the moments when she admits to crushing on him are BEYOND adorable to watch. Wait till you get to the Doom Tree saga Cass, there's a great Jupiter episode in there that I remember vividly.

It'll be coming up soon, depending on how often I play the disks. Eh, I may do another marathon over the weekend, just to finish out the season.
Another bit last night that was cute and kind of sweet was Melvin trying to be like Tuxedo Mask to impress Molly. Better yet was watching Zoycite moan and complain about chasing after Luna and Hercules down in the sewer system, and his/her reaction to that huge swarm of mice. Not a good day to be a villain. Yeah, I liked Chad, too. On the intelligence scale I don't think he's too far ahead of Terrence, but his heart is in the right place, which counts for a lot. |

There are plenty of people with super model looks and bucket loads of cash in their pockets, but very few of them would be willing to do the stuff Melvin and Chad have done for their girls. Melvin defines nerd but for someone to spend all night at Molly's doorstep in the costume, that's admirable stuff. Melvin does something similar for Molly in the Doom Tree saga during a Cherry Blossom festival episode. I'm SO glad you enjoyed that cat episode. I thought it was sad but funny to see Luna getting chased by all those cats, especially the little one that bit her tail and tubby old Hercules crushing on her. hot damn that was so cute! I too loved Zoycite's dealing with the rats, its rare to see bad guys as strong as these put in such weird moments. I hope you enjoyed that classic moment with Mercury, Moon, and Jupiter getting stuck in the alley and Jupiter getting a "peek" at Mercury . I can't believe they got away with airing that on TV.

Hercules was great. Who couldn't love a tubby tabby? It struck me as interesting that of the seven great Yoma he was not only the only one that wasn't reincarnated as a human but he was also the only one that didn't try to attack anyone. Maybe a subtle commentary by the writers? The whole episode was fun, though, especially Zoycite's exaspiration about the situation. And he can call Herc an ugly cat all he wants, I thought he was adorable. Yep, definitely enjoyed the "peek" shot, more than Lita did I suspect. . In truth there are a number of shots like that, visible from the viewer's side of the screen, although most of them go by pretty quickly. The live-action version was much worse in that regard; you were just about guaranteed to get flashed once or twice per episode. I suppose it's the nature of the outfit; it happens during the winter Olympics quite a bit, too. I don't want to turn this into a Sailor Jupiter appreciation thread, but, well, I had to make this: Don't think for a moment that Frankie isn't still my first, best choice; she is, and by a very wide margin. But I do think that Lita's earned a tribute or two. |

If you don't use that, can I?

Help yourself. I look forward to reading the personal text, too.

I'm curious as to why she's your favorite. She struck me as possibly being the most friendly of the five but she's also the one that I know the least. I know her more from what I've read about her than what I've seen on TV.
