My favorite parts:

- "Oh my god, it's everywhere!"

- The Popeye music

- Nimbus arriving late


I didn't get the part where Goku said he was going to Bulma's to get a ship and Roshi said he won't get into what's wrong with that. A reference to the plothole about Goku's ship that Z introduced with that one filler ep?

I think it was a reference to the fact that if he used a Capsule Corp. space ship it would take him 4000 years to get to Namek.

As I recall Vegeta once threatened to 'ship' Nappa, so maybe that's what Rôshi is confused by, that Gokû wants to be 'shipped'.

Ok, look.

The joke was, Goku believes that all scientists can make space-ships.

That's... really all there is to it.

It figures it would be something much simplier than I was thinking it was.

He already knew that Dr. Brief could make space ships because Bulma mentioned it in the jet plane when they were coming back from the fight with Vegeta.

I had to pause and think to get the spaceship joke :). This was the best episode of season 2 yet I think, I loved how the narrator was made to say all will be revealed now seeing as every episode of Z was: "find out, next time!" - every fucking time.

I must say though, when all of Freeza's men were flying past the cave, that was the most epic non-funny scene of abridged ever.

I made the mistake of watching this at a time when I shouldn't be laughing in my house because my mum was praying, I have no idea why but Roshi saying: "Could you speak up please? I'm not wearing pants" made me crack up so much and I got in trouble.
Actions have reactions so don't be quick to judge, you may not know the hardships that people don't speak of.

Wait a sec... what happened to tfsabridged.com? Is that a joke, was it hacked or has Mantis gone rogue? Oo

(Btw. Ep 13 is great stuff again, much better than the last one, that had been subject of so much critism :) )

The official site can now be found at teamfourstar.com...I'm not sure what's going on, but maybe the domain name for the first site was bought by an idiot who is trying to cause trouble?

Must not be very smart if he thinks your fanbase will continue to use his site, and not migrate over to the new endorsed one...

Let's please keep any and all drama off of this website/forum, please. The product should speak for itself, and that's what really matters. Thanks.

Am I the only person who doesn't quite get the WITHABOXOFSCRAPS thing?
Oh, you think the Grand Tour is your ally, you merely stepped into the Grand Tour. I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn’t see the Super until I was already a man; by then, it was nothing to me but blinding!

It's an Iron Man reference. The new movie, that is.
