"They'll never know..."

Also, the stinger was both funny and gross, to answer the question.

You know, I think Yamcha missed the chance for a counter burn when Vegeta said "And yet you're still here!" when he started talking about not being comfortable with Bulma on the battlefield. Then again "Says the guy with the pink shirt" is a bit of a Lame Comeback.

...Now I can't wait for episode 34. Darn it!

Next abridged movie won't be made until after Android 19 and 20, right? Seeing as it features Super Saiyan Vegeta.

Though I guess they could do History of Trunks relatively soon.

I loved Goku's reaction at the end of the episode. Pretty much him to a tee in this series.

It was really good, but I suppose I'm not fully appreciating this arc, because I'm waiting for two things in particular: Android 18, and Piccolo, Nail and Kami sharing brain space.

Nail's probably one of my favorite characters in this series. Piccolo too. I really hope "Nail" isn't revealed to be a figment of the desperately lonely Piccolo's imagination.

[up][up][up][up] To my knowledge, they never bothered to try to abridge the movies in any timeline order.

My favorite bit:

Krillin: "Who here just thought of Freeza with boobs?...really? I'm the only one?"

Vegeta: "Yes!" (inner thoughts: "he must never know....").

Also, the Running Gag with the text on Vegeta's shirt changing. I spit out my drink when it said "Blowjob Princess".

It's weird, at the end Goku almost sounded worried about something.

Well he didn't know that Freiza had been killed and everyone randomly started cheering.

I must say, Trunks seems to be spot-on.

And apparently he's the one responsible for Frieza being spelled Freeza.

I'm most excited for Mr. Satan, who should show up this season. There are so many different angles they could go for with him.

well originally Goku would have just Teleported to Earth had Trunks not intervened

so there he did realize Frieza was already dead

wonder how they will explain that here

As far as I can tell they do abridge the movies in order, and only once they've gotten to or past the point where it would take place. Specials like the Bardock specials seem to be whenever they have spare time.

By Goku being too stupid to remember that he could teleport.

By his space-pod being insulated against teleportation.

After all, a race that invented teleportation would probably want to make sure that nobody accidentally blinked out of their space-ships into a vacuum.

In other news, I gotta say: Trunks is spot-on. I love it.

Rewatching. I noticed Bulma bragging about her "fashion choices".

Also, "Pull My Hair" was the funniest saying on Vegeta's shirt for me.

Regarding The Stinger: I thought it was funny, and didn't find it gross.
Though now I'm imagining Krillin having six dots of hair above his...
[down]   SHARE MY PAIN!    or, you could've just said Vegeta's line.

So is Hetap an actual thing, or what? Google results didn't turn up anything for me.

Why is it called "Idiot Rock"?

[up]That explains "Idiot Crater", not "Idiot Rock". What could've happened there before that christened it Idiot Rock in the first place? Or do they name it that in hindsight or something?

[up]It's a retroactive name. Ergo, it is Idiot Rock because it's what Idiot Crater used to be.
