Yeah, yeah. I know the deal. Without an actual threat there's no way Gohan would go SSJ 2, throw the kid in the lion's den, etc, etc. I'm not saying that it was pointless, or even ill conceived. Despite that it didn't sit well with me at the time, and probably never will.
Gohan going SS2 wasn't even his plan, though the anime changes it to be. Gohan was already stronger than anyone they had there, and stronger than the suppressed Cell that Goku was fighting. If he hadn't gone OOC and if Cell hadn't had more power hidden that the others didn't know about, he would've won.
Gohan says that's Goku's plan, because he refuses to admit that he might be able to defeat Cell. He simply won't see it any other way.
But yeah the anime changes it to Goku seeing Gohan turn SS2 in the RoSaT but passing out because it uses too much energy, so he decides that if he gets Gohan angry he'll use less energy.

Oh, so Gohan is the first one that mentions that potential avenue, then said goes "that's a good idea, I'll do that", to which Goku responds "sure, that was the point, I guess"?
Now it just makes it look like bad writing.... Dammit.
EDIT: Now I think I'm just cross polluting my canons. I should probably not do that, probably.

Knowing how Goku is in the abridge series, he'll probably just tag Gohan in, wanting to share the "fun."

Frieza's stutter made me laugh more than it should have, I'll admit.
Now I just can't wait for 33 though...
Truth be told it wasn't all that strong in his initial appearance either. Effeminate, but not overbearingly so like with Chilled.
It's like each generation of Frieza's race gets more and more of a masculine voice.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!It was a great episode, and a nice explanation for why he didn't put on the suit.
But, even in the original series and their memes, Yamcha and Krillin being total jokes was just kinda sad to me, and Vegeta getting with Bulma makes my skin crawl.
So... was Nail speaking from Piccolo's mouth for a moment? And man is it nice to hear some Namekian interaction.

I don't know what "perfect" is. Clearly he went Champion, then Ultimate, then Mega.
