I've always wondered how much stronger Trunks and Vegeta would be if they actually fought and brought themselves to the brink of death and back again in the time chamber instead of just doing their own thing.

Pretty sure that Kai doesn't have the driving lesson episode and that's a loving crime.
This is why Kai will always play second fiddle

It's crazy (and kinda incoherent) how strong a mere human becomes after Gero's modifications, stronger than a base supersaiyan which overpowers Freeza who had a reputation even around the afterlife gods. If we assume 17 and 18 were just regular teenagers imagine how insanely strong people like Krillin or Ten would become after the same modifications.
Probably because power levels don't mean anything!

I liked Cell Saga until the Cell Games started.

Well she is supposed to be a teenager, they are not usually very overtly sexual.

Also it is a cartoon about people fighting and poo poo.

They wouldn't be able to find New Namek because the way they found it in the normal timeline was Goku searching got Dende's or other namekian energy. Future Trunks never met Dende or any namekian so he wouldn't know what to look for.

Deadzone training is brutal I imagine, helps that he is immortal for recovery time too I guess

Also I'd be happy to cut out the cell games entirely except perfect cell vs goku

Solid episode! Great stuff as usual. I wonder what it's like to be so picky where you think about the decline (that I don't think exists) in quality.

Because if they were weaker than freiza and super Saiyans I'm sure that would work out great story wise.

Yes, that's exactly what I meant: that it would've been better if they had just beaten the androids in a single episode and that was it, and definitely not that I wish Toriyama had set up a different sort of villain or anything.
Seems like an anti climax

Yeah, but this series is just full of instances of someone not taking some initiative and using all their extreme power to end a fight immediately, they always hold back and toy with their opponent until they do something desperate like blow up a planet.
For the love of fighting is a big theme

I think Future Trunks is the most pragmatic and that's probably heavily influenced by having Bulma as a single mum and living under apocalypse type conditions.

No, I'm talking about the scenes depicting Cell's hunt for biomass and sucking up of random civilians. This wasn't shown as much in the manga but in the anime it helps to give Cell a creepy horror vibe and facilitates feelings of dislike for the character.

Also, here's a list of what I personally consider the worst filler. Just for the sake of balance. I'd like to point out that the amount of good filler far outweighs the bad.
    -Arlia
    -Princess Snake
    -Fake Namek
    -Extended Body-switch sub-arc
    -Bulma/Ginyu body-switch
    -Dende getting weird with Gohan before leaving for New Namek
    -Everything involving the Garlic Jr. Saga, especially Maron
    -King Cold being a pussy (he was more regal and badass in the manga)
    -Constant cuts to Goku lying in bed after his heart attack
    -Krillin's Destructo Disc failing against Cell
    -Everyone helping in the beam struggle against Cell (it had more narrative impact when it was only Vegeta)
    -Everything involving Videl trying to unmask Saiyaman
    -Dabura being weird in the afterlife
I agree with you those are all terrible (except I kind of liked the Garlic saga)
