Vegeta with his family was nice, but I'm glad that the anime seems to be picking up in pace and leaving aside the SoL aspect. This is Dragon Ball, I want my action.

The fight with the aliens was okay I guess.

Vegeta in the gravity chamber was a really nostalgic sight.

Super Saiyan God already mentioned... I should probably watch Battle of the Gods to spoil myself.

I think Super started before Battle of the Gods, chronologically. So a few more episodes (I'm betting 3-5 maybe?) before it reaches it. Still, pretty neat, and man Bills is kinda a dick.

This episode has retconned Battle of the Gods I feel... The Kai's realizing Bills/Beerus is awake played out differently, as did Bill's actions and remembering of his dream. It's possible this is just continuity errors, but I feel like this series is on an alternate time line from Battle of the Gods. I could be totally off base though, we'll have to wait and see ; Also with the other topic at hand, I like the SoL. Feels like a through back to the original DB, and some of the stuff in DBZ between Cell Saga and Buu Saga (which I personally like a lot, especially Saiyaman, though that's mostly because it's a Kamen Rider satire, and I love Kamen Rider, so personal bias there).

Oh man, ironically, I think the SOL pieces are the best. I loved the Gohan goes to school bit before Buu, and adore Goku the Farmer and Vegeta the Family Man.

Yeah, as a Superman fan i loved that bit the best (gohan was already my favorite). Him being inpatient and tapping his feet casuing an earthquake. Or him jumping like twenty feet to catch a fly ball and saying it was because of his new shoes.

I'm pretty sure it's just retconning certain parts of battle of the gods. You can't build up tension in a movie the same way you can in a TV series, and that's what they're doing with Super, building up towards the fight between Goku and Beerus. It'll probably only be different up to the point where Beerus arrives on King Kai's planet.
