Still catching up with Shadowjack watching Sailor Moon. At least I'm in the current thread now... at page 9 of 70. It's going to take a while to get where everybody else is at.
Anyway.
Two bits from earlier in the thread. First, "CSI: Tokyo"
Second, their quest for a "welcome to the forum" image finally is at an end:
And now, what you came here to read: http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?640 ... st15760767]Shadowjack Watches Episode 119 - one of the more important episodes, so light on the funny. But that doesn't stop Shadowjack!

On RPG.net, Shadowjack Wrote:We keep saying we need a "welcome!" graphic for new readers of the thread, and I finally came up with one. I thought to myself, "Teenage girls in the 1990s," and at once the answer seemed obvious.

Quote:(Rei does not know this, as her divinatory practices follow Shinto tradition rather than Western Hermeticism, but Death in the cards only rarely signifies death. It does signify endings and transitions. A card of transformation, mystery, and loss.)
The woman raises the scythe, and leaps toward Rei.
(It can also signify death.)
Quote:Ami: "It's the waiting that gets to me. Sometimes, I wish the answer to all this would just walk up and—"
Usagi and Makoto: /grab Ami and cover her mouth.
• Suddenly!
Enter Chibi-Usa, armed with +2 puppy-dog eyes.
Usagi: "No!"
Quote:Minako: "He does have a spooky laugh."
Ami: "Which is obviously reason to suspect someone of crimes against humanity."
Minako: "Remember what's-her-name?"
Makoto: "Oh, yeah, the dragon chick. She had a creepy laugh."
Minako: "See? Quad errorat demonstratum."
Ami: "…"
Quote:Chibi-Usa: /hugs Usagi super-close. "Mommy, pweeeease?"
Usagi: "I haven't given birth to you, yet! Don't call me that!"
Quote:Makoto: "That was horrible."
Minako: "I know. The animation style kept shifting. Sorry, black humor, I'm fucking terrified right now."
Quote:Dark stars smash overhead like cannon balls. The Inner Senshi try to crawl under the concrete floor. Chibi-Usa is quaking in distress. Hotaru may be foaming at the mouth. Sailor Uranus waits.
Ami: "Aha. So this is how 'suppression fire' works."
Quote:Michiru: "She's Sailor Saturn, the Soldier of Ruin! Her awakening ends this world!"
Minako: "…Why do we even have that button?!"
Quote:Usagi: "But this is absolute madness, Uranus! Why did the Silver Millennium create such a person?!"--
Haruka: "There were those of us who fought against it, but in the end we could not keep up with the expense of maintaining a credible deterrent. The Sailor Saturn project cost us just a small fraction of what we had been spending on defense in a single year."
Ami: "But the whole point of a Doomsday Sailor is lost, if you keep her a secret! VY DIDN'T HYU TELL ZE VORLD, EH?!"
Michiru: "It was to have been announced at the Grand Ball the following Monday. As you know, the Queen loved surprises…"
