Well the whole long, boring and pointless trip to Namek in DBZ was a filler. Since DBK is filler-less, this trip was cut. ON TO NAMEK D:<

Dr. Briefs built him a faster space ship, specifically designed to help him train.

And THANK GOD they're getting rid of the Adventures in Outer Space filler. That really annoyed me in the original series. :/ The training itself wasn't really filler; I forget how it was handled in the manga (I don't own those issues).

I think the first part was a bit racist. Nevertheless next episode, Freeza!
Well, about the fillers, I think I enjoyed them back when I was still a kid. Maybe because I didn't know they were fillers.

I find that some things seem quick to pass, as before they were stretched out so long. But it makes the fight scenes infinitely better.

I can't wait for Buu. He scared the sh!t out of me when I was a younger. I think it was the music that did it, and his constant return.

Oh wow..it's like you know which parts are fillers (Laugh!). They totally feel like they're in the way

- The disguised nameks
- The Snakes queen (right?)
- Gohan meeting those orphans (?) during his training or running away from Piccolo
- The "HILF" demons..haha

Ya I Think Dr. Briefs uses Gokus ship to design the new one he makes for goku to go to Namek.

Good episode, I was hoping for them to wizz past this and they did to my appreciation! Mr Popo is treated like a pervert, Bulma the pretentious bitch, I always disliked her! I don't think they will get to Buu, maybe up to Cell Saga and that is, taking into consideration the series will only last 50 eps.

onward to namek! anyone else find it kind of funny that krillin called gohan's suit a "monkey" suit considering hes a seiyen?

The line 'And bring God back to life' was hilarious.

Poor Bulma having to cut her hair for a space suite that no one else was wearing. And the boys had no idea that was why she was upset lol.

Yay to more Vegeta!

It was funny to see Bulma freaking out when she was alone with Mr. Popo. I'm happy to see things moving along right this time around, the whole space fillers were sooo bad.

Gohan slapped his dick on the table and asserted dominance in this episode. I never forgot that moment from when I was a kid XD.

Adore the character design changes through the series.  Not many anime do it like Dragon Ball!  Growing, cutting, styling hair different, changing outfits, gaining battle scars, growing up.  It's always a treat to see the new looks characters have, and it feels much more substantial than any other shounen I've watched.

As for the trio of Bulma, Krillin, and Gohan, it's such a blast that they head to Namek first.  Any time that Goku isn't in the premises is a uniquely good time.

wait...is it maybe implied that Bulma is on her period lmao? with how she's mad grouchy and moody for no reason and even Krillin comments "did we do something to piss her off and forget?"

Idunno if that was present in Z or not, and I don't remember if I picked up on it back then if the joke was there. Or maybe I'm just misreading it entirely. Maybe she is just pissed that she's the only one that dressed "seriously" for the mission....seems a bit excessive tho...unless...
I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers
