<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>Hence the poking fun at himself. Gotenks: "Everyone knows you're supposed to save your most powerful attacks for the end of the fight!" Etc. I still think the second two sagas are worthwhile additions to the story.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Buu Saga, yes, I can bend with it, the GT Saga? No, it was trash, and totally pointless. I think a good spin off would have been what happened in Future Trunks's time period, I mean, he'd have to take care of Buu too right? :)</div>

Pan is annoying, and Trunks doesn't live up to his earlier promise (remember when he killed Frieza?). Gohan and Goten just kinda sit there. Ah well, it couldn't last forever...</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>Yeah, like Don said, Toriyama didn't haven anything to do with GT. That was purely a case of milking the cash cow.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Oh goddamnit, I didn't think you'd all insult my intelligence so, I'm way beyond aware of Toriyama's involvement with GT, which is to say there wasn't any. :P I was just commenting how you said the 2 sagas were worthwhile, I assumed you meant Buu & GT.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>That's not the same Trunks. The Trunks in the Cell Saga was brought up in a much much tougher enviroment, he was polite and kind, while the grown up Trunks in GT, was a spoiled brat.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Sans Serif"; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>Ah, that explains it then. And CN inexplicably jumped back to showing episodes back when Vegeta first showed up rather than completing the Buu saga. So I still haven't seen the end of the Buu Saga....:(</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>Heh. I was wondering where the hell your enormous anime database of a brain had gone there for a moment, yes... : ) In any case though, GT isn't really a different SAGA as much as it is a different SERIES, so I wouldn't consider it when discussing DBZ to begin with</div>
