I'm not sure I want an explanation.

I think what I want is for cop-out bullshit to not be happening.

In generalized terms, I'm pretty sure that, depending on what the cop out bullshit is, an explanation can potentially un-copout-bullshittify the situation.

But, I'm tired and this smells like a point of discussion that'll last far longer than my ability to properly discuss it, so I'll leave it at that for now.

I have a message from another time...

I think that involving the Joker in the plot at all is cop-out bullshit because Joker being dead was the only interesting idea they had in the premise.

I think the Group Therapy may be one of the favorite jokes in the whole series.

Not gonna lie, this one was not my favorite.

...Kinda want to see Kaiser talk about the mustache gag in the Episode Breakdown.

It wasn't bad, but it was a bit lackluster. A bit short, too.

Oh God! Natural light!

I think I want a music video of the mustache song now.

And then, Vegeta pressed the Curb stomp button, which just happens to be in Cell's gut.cool

Group Therapy was great.

I'm continuing to worry about Gohan's continued resentment towards his dad.

And I'm guess we just saw the end of the I am an adult joke, and in a really depressing manner.

[up][up] I love the little inhale-exhale thing Vegeta did right before Trunks said that. It was a perfect "You're about to get your shit wrecked" pause.

Just saw it. It was very much a transition episode, but a pretty good one.

Also, I really hope that "Paragon Till Death" becomes a thing.

I was expecting someone to bring up the fact that the air is really thin up at Kami's Lookout and how it's a horribly bad idea to bring an infant up there. Course he's Half-Saiyan so maybe it doesn't bother him.

Oh, I didn't notice that Goku mangled two Vegeta quotes today. Pretty funny.

Which two?

18 actually did that to him first, when he called her a cunt.

Honestly, though the episode felt short, and nothing huge happened in it, this might've been one of the funniest episodes they ever had. Everything about Group Therapy was priceless. That would've been a funnier preview, but that also might've ruined the gag.

After he said the word, everyone's just speechless, but she inhales, sighs, goes "yep." and kicks his ass.

[down]I didn't say they were. It's just the same kind of thing.

Bit of stretch there I think, I doubt they were actually referencing that.

It's a stretch to suggest that they were referencing a scene they explicitly brought up 30 seconds prior?

Huh, I thought about it more, I guess not.

Anyone else kinda sad that Gohan pretty clearly despises his father? I mean, Goku at least seems to be trying now.

Especially since the only one Goku's to blame for is the year (It was a year, right?) he spent in space after Namek. Every other time, he's either been dead, in the hospital, or training in order to save the world. It's probably why Gohan doesn't have those issues in canon.

Plus Goku still cares in canon. Here he hasn't been around, thus his thoughts about Piccolo talking to Gohan about his issues is a moment of self awareness because he can't relate to his own child.
