I'll of course always prefer the original inner scouts, but I still adore Hotaru/Sailor Saturn.
I remember I started watching it at the beginning on Cartoon Network, but that was YEARS ago. Too many years ago. So I was fixated on it, throughout the Doom Tree series (Sailor Moon R). But it wasn't until Sailor Moon S that the show really stuck to me. The villains were too "human", the plot was too dark, and you never quite knew if Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune were heroes or some sort of anti-heroes, and of course the addition of Hotaru and Sailor Saturn (with the twist of being the daughter of the main villain) was a perfect touch.
I mean, the first season will always be great because it's where the characters are first introduced, but when it comes down to all around perfection in tone, dialogue, music and plot, Sailor Moon S takes the cake.
