    Finally, Goku is on Earth. But what is he doing the whole episode? He's on his way to the battlefield. Oh, how slow. So what is everyone else doing? Fighting. Krillin is down and Piccolo gets up after being injured to save Krillin from destruction. After Vegeta or Vageta senses 5000 for Goku, he asks to finish the people off so Goku might have a chance of no longer joining the good guys. Also they know about dragon balls in Namek.

    This was a very exciting episode, but a very slow one, too. What's next? Talking the whole next episode? It's pretty slow for an episode to just take a whole episode to get there. But, there was some more information we get to know about the show if you didn't know, such as the balls in Namek.moreless

    Time is running out, Nappa finishes destroying the battle ships and Vegeta declares that time is up. Goku finally makes it to the beginning of Snake Way and with Kami's help is transported back to Earth.

    Piccolo devises a plan that involves grabbing Nappa's tail. It carries out but it turns out that because Nappa and Vegeta are high level saiyans they do not share the same weakness as Goku does.

    Goku gets some Senzu Beans from Korin and eats one, regains his full strength and rushes toward the battlefield. Nappa is tearing up the others. Krillin tries his techinque, the Destructo Disc, which would have sliced Nappa in half but Vegeta warned him to not touch the disc.

    Goku makes rapid progress toward the battlefield. Vegeta is surprised that the scouter reads Goku power level as 5000. He orders Nappa to finish off the others, including the Namek, because they can just go to planet Namek and get the Dragonballs there.

    Can Goku get to the battlefield and stop Nappa from killing his friends?moreless

    Nappa is continuing his killing spree by randomly choosing cities and annihilating them until the three hour deadline is up. Vegeta waits patiently as the minutes pass by, as do Piccolo, Gohan, and Krillin, but time eventually ran out. Piccolo tried taking advantage of the Saiyan's biggest weakness; their tails. Using Krillin as a decoy, Piccolo was able to grab Nappa's tail. But they eventually learned the hard way that Nappa and Vegeta evoled to the point where their tail wasn't their weakness. Piccolo got hammered badly. Krillin unleashed his Destructo Disc, scathing Nappa's face. Then, Piccolo and the others quickly detect Goku's presense. Vegeta deemed the situation too dangerous if Goku and the others were united, so Vegeta wanted Nappa to take the others out quickly. Nappa set his sights on Gohan first.

    This episode wasn't as boring as the last one, because while there isn't as much fighting as there should have been, the anticipation for Goku to arrive was immense. You just couldn't wait for him to come back, and here, he's finally on his way. And Krillin's trade mark move the Destructo Disc is just so badass. It would have been cooler if he was able to kill Nappa that way, but too bad Vegeta had to warn him.moreless

There's definitely someone on the way. But I don't see how it could be Kakarot, the power level's too high. You see, my scouter is reading 5,000, Nappa. Nappa: WHAT? NO WAY! 5,000!? Edit
