Anime: Subbed or Dubbed?

Remember Doogal? There are two versions of the film. The US version was rewritten and redubbed. They are different movies using the same animation. This is pretty much true of Dragon Ball Z. There is almost nothing the same as far as the script and what the characters say. The classic "Over 9000!" meme is false, as it was really over 8,000. Some may say that the dialogue cannot be exactly the same because of the matching of lip flaps, but the dubbing of DBZ went so far as to change the nature of characters. Yamucha went from standing up Bulma because he was ashamed of not having money from lack of a job, to cheating on her with another woman. Entire characters that continued from Dragon Ball were removed, characters that had major significance.

History (or Scripts) Repeats Itself

When a show runs for so long, it tends to run into a rut within its scripts. For some shows like Smallville, most of the episodes are filler episodes while there are only a couple that push along a main-arc plot. This season, it is difficult to know what that plot is. However Smallville is ending this season, but Chuck is still supposedly going strong.
