Speaking as an expert on Sailor Moon timelines...
The show's history makes perfect sense if and -only- if you
assume two things:
1) Usagi messed up BIG on the reset: after it goes off it's
exactly the same year and date it was previously, she hasn't
wound time back, everyone is still the same age--but never-
theless the Senshi and other kids in their classes (including,
but not limited to, Naru and Umino) are repeating their previous
year of junior high and -have no idea it's happened-. History is
unfortunately silent on what the others did to poor odango-brain
once their memories were restored. n.n;
2) The entire year-long saga of SuperS (the Dead Moon Circus)
actually takes place in something under a month, the DMC having
somehow shifted all of Tokyo into a waking dream state so that
they can sift through folks' dream-mirrors more quickly. Strong
evidence in favor of this: the Senshi are never once shown in
school that season--a dream indeed.
Once you make those assumptions, everything falls into place
(the Senshis' listed birthdates, and their junior high/high school
careers, make NO sense otherwise. Trust me, I tried REALLY hard
to make the SM-Expanded timeline come out right without them...)
(Say... are you firmly attached to the idea of Doug showing up in
first season? I'd love the chance to team him with Mike Maxwell
sometime during SME's Crystal Tokyo era...)
