Given the way the manga goes, I'm grateful for any extra characterization of the other senshi, romantic or no, so I was pretty happy with episode 10. It was nice to see the connection between them and the four generals confirmed on screen, and having them fight (albeit briefly) one-on-one, as it seems like Venus, Mars, Mercury, and Jupiter usually just make perfunctory appearances in battles.

Red needs to get her mojo back in Season 3. She was outdone this season by Vee, Gloria, and the Golden Girls, and I want to see Red showcasing some real mettle and intelligence so to remind everyone why she is not one to be trifled with.

Not a huge fan of the vomit gag at the end, but I did appreciate finally seeing what Erlich was actually good at. It helps explain the past success of Aviato and gives him a role within the show other than comedic relief. Now that Big Head is unassigned, it seems like there's going to be less opportunity to contrast Pied Piper with Hooli's culture, so I hope that either his project-less status gets resolved quickly, or his screentime gets decreased further.

One thing that really bothered me in the movie is the idea that Veronica would be a corporate rather than trial lawyer. It would've presented a much more interesting choice between her staying in Neptune vs returning to New York, while still fitting within her narrative of migrating towards the straight and narrow path. Did it really have to be either Veronica living a life of no thrill vs a life of all thrill?
