I decided to handle this topic for the next episode of my podcast which explores scientific questions, as it ties into a moon landing hoax idea that some people say. I’ll probably put together a post for the site about it once the show airs this weekend.

It wouldn’t likely be some sort of cloaking device given the limited amount of power needed to have the Queen Serenity simulation/hologram which is quite small in comparison to what would be needed to mask such a huge thing. I’m not sure how well it would be visible from space. The stuff left behind by the Apollo missions is not visible from a telescope. I’ve heard that while the Great Wall of China, and many other man made buildings, are visible from space they are not visible from the Moon but I’m not sure if that counts a telescope or not. I would need to do a bit of reading. The ruins of Silver Millennium would likely be mostly stone looking, close in colour to the surface of the Moon, and perhaps covered in a bit of Moon dust.

I personally enjoyed the pairings a lot in the recent musicals. I thought they did a really good job of showing Mercury and Zoisite’s relationship and I also loved the tragedy of Minako and Kunzite’s relationship way back in the very first original musical. You really have to watch the musicals to understand the appeal of these relationships because the musicals were where they were first explored. I wish PGSM could have expanded on their relationships but PGSM left them out completely. Personally I think the Zoisite/Kunzite pairing of the original anime is over-rated, especially in terms of media portrayal of LGBT characters. IT was a milestone for when Sailor Moon first came out but the almost psychotic portrayal of Zosiite as this over the top flamboyant evil gay stereotype in the original anime is very dated and a bit homophobic.

Give me any yaoi coupling/grouping any day.

But if you *insist*, I suppose I do see the pairings between the generals the scouts as a sort of poetic device. It suggests something deeply spiritual, like perhaps despite not being on the same side of good/evil or even being compatible they still share some inner source that connects them and speaks to each other. *That* I can get behind.

But srsly, yaoi generals all the way.

I don’t know, I always thought Jupiter/Nephrite and Jadeite/Mars looked good together. And Kunzite seems like he could’ve been sort of the doting-lover type to young Minako.

I really can’t stand the Sen/Shi pairings, sorry. Their personalities don’t match in the least and they don’t even look good paired up, in my opinion. It’s like they just said, “Hey, there are 4 Inner Senshi and 4 Shitennou. Who needs compatibility? Let’s pair them up!” I just don’t get the appeal.

In your last example though, I think the manga later on actually explains the monsters are being drawn to the power of Usagi’s Silver Crystal and that was the reason for all the attacks.
