----------------------------------------
six days is pretty fast, I'm sure Goku can train sufficiently by then.

Krillin is a good spy - being able to hide ki was a good plot device. Even destroying the scouters - I don't remember DBZ making this much sense.

Freeze still manages to be an annoying douche all these years

I like the story about the dragon balls and the elders (which I don't remember at all)

I finally caught up. I have to say that I'm enjoying this, partially because of nostalgia, and partially because it's quite good. I totally forgot about Dende, too.

Oh, and suppose this has already been said, but together, the Namekian warriors have a power level of OVER 9000!!

6 days, that quicker then i remember; anyways destroying scouters is very good idea, it costs them time that they need
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures

Yeah, the only thing not making sense is how language works but I'll let them go on that one.

I feel like something else was removed or censored when the elder Nameks were killed?

I felt so too.

Can they not just detect life signs with their space ship? If not they could still fly into the orbit and check for villages. No need for scouter.

^HEck yeh!!! I dun even remember her being such a flirt with Goku... She has always loved his later son in law... But no Goku XD.. Hey this is exactly like DBZ... the scouter and spying parts were there... Just a lil bit longer... The only stuff I dun remember is the story around the Elders and the way they got their own Dragonball... Anything besides that is where it should be... Even Vegeta's eavesdropping hahahaha... I loved the episode with all this drama for the poor Namekseijins XD... SO it's time to save the good ol' Dende... Too bad the Elders died thou.... And yeh Goku's fight and take off arefaster than before! YAY for speed XD

Wow! They cut out the days immensely lol. Goku was not shown training either, which is a shame as I liked that part. It was good how the NAmekian shot all their gadgets to stop them from recognising Ki etc. 50 eps, are they going to fit all Frieza, Cell and Buu together?????

Nope. Goku's spaceship was always only supposed to take six days to get there, in story. Just, in episode count..it didn't work out that way.

Is it weird that I think those little green kids are cute? Save them Gohan!

If I wasn't going to bed I'd watch the next episode, oh well.

It's good to see that the Namek arc is starting to pickup the pace. Can't wait to see Dodorian vs Vegeta. ;D

from some reason i feel the goku's part in the episode too rushed, he got the spaceship too damn fast.

aside from that, the namek part was well paced, i was worried they would rushed it too much but it's just fine, though i find the battle too much censored.

I really like how they establish Frieza as this being to be feared (and rightly so)

Frieza is a delightfully cruel aristocrat.  The man hardly lifts a finger, nor does he waste his energy walking.  He floats around in his fancy ship giving eloquent commands, while waving his hands for his minions to kill everyone in his place.  That was a killer introductory scene for the main villain of Namek!  He's so confident in himself nothing gets under his skin, which makes even the bravest attempts at refuting him feel futile.  The fact that the best thing the Namekians can do is attempt to throw their lives away in return for stripping the ability to find more of their kind only adds to that sense of overwhelming danger.

"A valiant effort my friend but you will kindly answer my questions in the same language they were addressed to you, not this gibberish," was such a horribly racist line.  DBZ knows how to do villains!

Minor note, ever since Dragon Ball, some of my favorite interactions have been Goku using technology.  He's not the same kid that thought men were inside TV's and the Red Ribbon Army were hiding inside radio intercoms, but he's still adorable when he uses that stuff.  It's so out of his comfort zone.
