>1)Sasami owns Ryo-Ohki from the begining she has her on the ship with her.
>Ryoko does not figure in here.

Ehhh? That is weird.... Oh, Ryan-san is most definitly not goin to like this.

>2)Washu and Ryoko have...um...intersesting choices in costumes. I sorta
>like Washu's :)

What is it like?

>3)Washu and Ryoko have stolen something from Jurai a green rod shaped like
>-o- Aeka is not pleased and chases after them.

Probibly some energy thingie.


>5) Ryoko has 2 gem earings (not sure if it's important or not)

Does she have regular gems?

>6)Washu and Ryoko pilot the red ship from the opening

Huh, Souja now belongs to Washu? Too weird. Hmm, are Washu and Ryouko
related again?

>7)After they all crash Aeka and Ryoko fight. The two logs make short work
>of Ryoko until she takes the -o- thing and inserts it into her forhead.
>Ryoko turns into a horrible monster that makes short work of the logs and
>batters through Aeka's shield in one blow.

Hmm, first mix of Schi-Fi/Fantasy in Shin Tenchi.

>8)Tenchi jumps in and his pendent (a lot of crystals tied together) turns
>into a funky sword (kinda cool looking) The sword draws the -o- out of
>Ryoko and absorbs it(not sure about whether it really was absorbed). Ryoko
>falls into a coma.

Weird. Almost gem like, but weird.

>9)Sakuya follows Tenchi to his home and shows up at the begining of ep. 8
>the girls are NOT pleased :)

Hmm, what events occured in 7 to fix up the Sakuya/Tenchi relationship.
Ill give this much to Sakuya, she is persistant.

>10)Ep. 8 has some GREAT Ryoko moments all you Ryoko lovers :) It rivals
the OAV

Shin Tenchi is doing a good job of that.

>11)Ryoko is in a coma, Aeka is all banged up and Ryo-ohki is covered in
>bandages.

Oh-Kay.....

>12)Tenchi nurses Aeka to health and she falls for him, he also nurses all
>of the other girls back to health and they sort of fall for him (in various
>degrees.)

Greatest bening, least being. Explains why Kiyonne likes Tenchi now.

>13)Ryoko is in the coma in a status field created by Washu. She doesn't
>look good

Is Washu watching over Ryouko?

>15)Ryoko wakes up and witnesses Tenchi crying over her. Falls for him

ARGHHH! Once again, no serious stuff here. 

>16)Flash forward to Ryoko and Tenchi talking at the riverside. The pendent
>drops and breaks. Ryoko takes a piece and so do all of the girls.

How does it drop, does tenchi fall?

>18)Ryoko and all of the girls (well most of them)accuse Sakuya of stealing
>the crystal (Sakuya contrary to previous report does NOT have a shard)

That Shard is from where we see Yuugi watching. There is a pinkish Shard
which represents Sakuya.

>throws Sakuya across the room and is about to punch her out when tenchi
>steps in front of her and grabs/carresses her face with both his hands
>(note he did this when she woke up from the coma). He tells her to stop.
>It's a VERY powerful scene. Very nice for Ryoko lovers. Ryoko flys off
>crying. Lands by the lake where she got the crystal and crys.

Uh-Oh, Ryan-san really not going to be happy with this episode.

>19)Washu creates a machine to find the crystal. It points at Ryo-Ohki who
>freaks out. Then we see the monkey behind Ryo-Ohki. Aeka pulls out a
>ligtsaber (not a ryoko light sword a real light saber even hums. at the
>begining of ep. 7 Mihoshi gets a hold of it :) :)  and smites the demon
>through the ceiling. The gang runs off.

Is it a Key?

>20)Leaving Sakuya behind crying on the floor (they all forget about her).

Very nice episode for Sakuya-chan likers too ;-)

>22)Sakuya sees them coming back to the house. Makes some sort of decision
>and leaves through the back door.

Oh boy, if Sakuya is bitter, heven help us if Yuugi takes advantage.

I LOVE SHIN TENCHI!!!!
(Even if they do trash a lot of the Jurain Stuff, now that the OVA series
is getting a move, I is happy ;-)

How?, every scene she was in seems really evil.
