Adventures of Merlin Episodes 1-2

Sailor Moon S Blog Ep 17-20

 Time to get back into Sailor Moon S!

 

 Oh we get backstory for Amara and Michelle! Thats neat.

 

 Hmm. So we get a look at EVIL DOCTOR. When its not a closeup. He certainly seems fit for someone locked up in a lab all day. XD

 So this episode is confusing. Its hard to tell if its in the past or not. Took me a minute to realize I was back in the present. When they showed the scouts enrolling to...High School?

 

Okay again. Not Japanese. But I could have sworn they were already in High School. But I guess not.

 

 Well that was quick! Getting right to the most of the day it seems! Its only been 4 minutes!

 

Oh geez. They use the word "Destiny" so much in this episode that Adol Christin from Ys would want to snap her neck. XD

 

 Of course Michelle would be super talented in academics. Gotta lump her in with Amy as much as possible it seems. XD

 

 Amara: Ehh painting could use some work. Not liking the whole "End of the World" vibe it has going on.

 

 Amara: Well riddle me this Batman.

 

Uhh wut. Did she just reference Batman in Sailor Moon?

 Is it an actual show in SM or is she implying that this takes place in the DC universe? Cause that is a scary thought. 0_o 

 

 Michelle: There is more to me than meets the eye!

 

Okay now a Transformers reference. This show is something else it seems. :P

 

 Well this certainly took a 180! 0_0

 Some random kid just went full edgedark demon.

 

"Flashing Lights alert!"

 

 

 Michelle was really gonna let Amara live her life. Away from being a Scout. But Amara cares too much about Michelle to let that happen.

 

 At least it ends on a high note.

 

 And another eventful day with no success. At least they have each other.

 

 Oh I am hating this episode already. Not just because its Rini-themed. But it seems like the narrative always makes Serena act stupid when Rini is involved. A trend that kinda started in Sailor Moon R. But is MUCH more egregious in this season.

Also am I expected to believe that Rini not only knows how to bake an ENTIRE pie by herself (which is usually considered very challenging for a child to pull off without lots of practice) but that its the most delicious pie they ever had? Yeahhhh starting to see what my friends mean about her being all special treatment. : /

 "Sigh" Okayyy. So apparently likes a boy called Masanori from her Art class. But there is a snag:

 

 Yeah he has an older crush he likes more. And of course its Michelle. Mind you its obviously one-sided. But Michelle humors him. 

 

 Just....just dont Rini. I know the show makes you important and stuff. But you aint doing shit to Michelle. Just saying.

 

 Of course Rini knows about this. Dont know why I am surprised.

 

 Wait. Michelle is the Art Teacher?! Are you kidding?! She is 17! How in the...?!

Yknow what. Nevermind. I'm not even acknowledging this.

The important thing is that she interrupts the two of them helping each other out on projects since its cheating. Which of course...

 

 Just makes Rini want to kill her! Yeesh. This isnt going to end well for either of them.

 

 Pizza Guy: Yes-a Evil Doctor this is-a the pizza place. Your-a pizza is ont-a the way ovah. Nice and Hot!

 Evil Doctor: Y-yes thank you. 

 

 Eugele: Anything wrong Doctor? There was an excrutiatingly long pause.

Evil Doctor: Its nothing. Just trying to comprehend that offensive italian accent.

Eugele: Huh?

Evil Doctor: I mean did he practice that in the mirror or is he just naturally that offensive? It boggles the mind.

Anyways mission objective..

 

 Huh. Just for a single frame of animation we see what he looks like out of silhouette. Its not that different tho. XD

 

And of course Amara sees the roses Michelle got and gets a little jealous.

 Cmon Michelle dont treat your girlfriend like that. Thats mean.

 

 Rini: Okay is this thing ever going to work when I need it?! I am being to think my mother gave me a defective model when I left the future!

 

 Darien I hate to break this to you. But learning a new language like French is really hard. It can take years to be fluent in it! You cant just have a few study cram sessions and be good at it. I dont blame Serena for being depressed about it.

 

 Of course the girls are eyeing the dreamy guys at the elaborate french party.

 

 Oh thank goodness. The guys also speak English well. That makes it easier to tolerate.

 

 OMG! Serena is literally drunk! XD

I didnt think I would want this. But its kind of amazing.

 

 French Guy #1: Ahh cooking is a metaphor for Einstein's Law of Relativity!
French Guy#2: I never looked at it that way before.

 

Oh my god....they are doing that dumb thing where something stupid sounds smart when someone starts making metaphors. Ugh! XD

 

 I love how they said Serena drank too much..."juice".

 Like they even said it like that. Even the show wants to make it obvious its alcohol. :P

  

 Of course Amara/Michelle would be honored guests. ;)

 

 Didnt take long for the alcohol to wear off.

And yeah you feel for Serena here.

 

 Welp Amara has woven her charm into Serena now too ;)

Darien is the only one left to not be charmed. 

 

 The view is very romantic. Indeed. Would be nice if DARIEN WAS HERE TOO! Ugh what is with him this season. Its like he isnt even serious about the relationship.

 

 Eugele: I have such a HEADACHE!

Scouts: THIS ISNT POWER RANGERS!

Eugele: Hmm 5 superpowered teenagers who transform into powered up versions of themselves and fight monsters summoned from dark forces.

Yep! Totally not PR!

Scouts: Its different and you know it! 

 

 About time you showed up again! Feels like its been ages!

 

 Better late than never I suppose.

 

 Mina you want your heart snatched to make your heart feel special? To prove its a pure heart.

You are aware that if thats true then you are screwed right? That means Amara and Michelle would take it and you would be left heartless and without a soul.

Yeah you arent thinking this through. : / 

 

 Wowww Mina is being petty over this isnt she?

 

 Yeah the freak out moment from Serena is totally warranted. You get your heart stolen and you are cooked. Mina needs to realize that.

 

 DADBLAMIT MINA!

 

 Ohhh noooo. Dont tell me they are going to help her.

No actually. But they give her a tip on how to be better. 

 

 Oh god! She is gonna try giving all her blood away isnt she? Please no....

 

 Even the Scouts are calling her a "Vampire" basically living at the blood banks! Man she is hopeless.

 

 ARE YOU CONTENT NOW MINA?! You just had to know what it was like! Well you got your answer!

 

 Uhh Mina? Ya alright there? You're acting abit...unhinged.

Oh right. They did explain that you act uncontrolled when you have no heart inside you. I forgot which episode touched on that.

But yeah now Mina is on the run with it. Claiming that everyone will take it from her. Terrific.

 

 Rei: I cant believe we didnt see they were the new Sailor Scouts!

 Yeah no kidding. They werent subtle about it either.

 

Thats all for this session. See you guys next time!
