And it looks like Ami is moving into Minako territory inasfar as ease of use with her Senshi abilities is concerned. She's definitely the most versatile of the Senshi so far -- in a moment of need she manages to create a sword of ice, and does a "blip" transformation while running just like Minako did (although she does have to do the invocation and gestures first, unlike Minako). That latter may simply be an indication of the normal speed of the transformation, in which case Jadeite was pretty damned fast to get behind Usagi during that instant.
Oh, and the series appears to be running more or less in realtime. New Year's was a major point in both this and the previous episode. Plus -- and this is the kicker -- we saw a closeup of Ami's laptop, and it showed a current date of 10 January 2004. If I'm not mistaken, that was the day the episode was broadcast in Japan.
