Just some odd questions

[Labster]

Pluto's role in the story is minimal -- an observer, uninvolved, sitting
at the Gates trying to map out the changes Doug's causing, nodding and
munching popcorn while doing so.

The mental image made me lol.  I really want to see this illustrated.

Sadly, things aren't quite as fun for Sailor Saturn.  She's similarly
out of the picture for the duration of the story, but for reasons that
are far less fun and amusing.

Yeah.  Pretty much as I'd expect.  She would have been living with Professor Tomoe during season 1 in canon.  And without a certain small lady around, I doubt her life would be much fun.
