Sailor Moon Crystal Episode 2: Ami- Sailor Mercury

In the first episode, there were very interesting plot devices, such as the show being a dream and destiny playing a role in the episode.

Episode two: Oh boy!

Why didn't the disk brainwash Usagi if it brainwashed Ami? Is it because she doesn't have a brain?!
Random characters and Usagi comment saying how they believe that Mercury has no friends and studies too hard. Maybe it's because I'm from the US but I find that hard to believe. She has to eventually take a break. And her character doesn't seem to be stressing out. Heck, she's playing video games better, thanks to her studying discipline! This is just way too oversimplified for the kids, especially kids who do have to study hard and want to become doctors.
But we do get the point: institutionalization yields mindless people. Uniform answers and uniform approaches to answers, yield a bad backwards society. Too many answers don't lead to too many questions, etc..

We didn't really get any of that stuff we got in the first episode.

Usagi just gets a hardon for woman who play video games this episode; this will probably never explored as a mature relationship and will just result in fanservice that turns people away from Sailor Moon Crystal.
