I've enjoyed reading this thread a great deal, but once Edward got on his
anti-monarchy bit, I had to point some things out:

First, our conception of what Crystal Tokyo's monarchy may be could be
false.  Hell, in SM itself they make numerious references to the fact that
while Neo-Queen Serenity is a grown up, mature, respectable Usagi, she's
STILL Usagi.

Second, I doubt that her relationship with the Senshi could change in such
a way that they're not going to tell her when she's wrong.  I also doubt
she's going to be so blind as to not accept good advice, from the Senshi or
anyone else.  

Third, she's 'supposedly' a paragon of goodness.  I'd like to think that
with Endymion and all the other Senshi backing her up she can make some
good choices for people to trust.

Just my $0.02
