It's been shown beforehand that even when Goku's died he's maintained a physical form and King Kai's got a range of abilities to allow him and anyone who touches him to see people and contact them on other planets. How is Goku encouraging his son to finish what was started bad? Not to mention Vegeta gave Gohan the opening needed and if that didn't happen Gohan was probably going to lose. Frieza lost to another Super Saiyan, it was proven he couldn't beat one. This is a shock too?

When you put it that way, guess it makes sense. 
I can understand that the power tiers had been boosted for the next arc, but c'mon, the great threatening tyrant Frieza gets insta killed a minute after his twist appearance. Beats his death in GT though.
