Ben comes down with a cold while the home planet of Tetrax and Diamondhead is endangered.

[Polychrome]

Wait...I thought Tetrax's home planet was blown up by Vilgax? Continuity, or is Paradox messing around again?

The remnants of their civilization may have moved to a new planet. Or Chromastone may have time travel capabilities. Or the text up there may just be wrong.

[RonDrakenfan17]

One of the episodes I'm looking forward to :D

[ryandcow]

The Cn preview really hooked me into this one, I can't wait to see what happens.

[ToonFaithful]

Same here, but ryandcow, didn't you say something about Chromostone's death?

[zoombie]

I thought it was a good episode. This is only going to enable Ben's ego ever more resurrecting a planet, but this time he seemed less egotestical.

Vilgax was actully enjoyable this time, he would destroy an entire society just for something pitty as having his property, that is defentely something the Vilgax the old Vilgax would do. Though the last scene ruined it again.

[ToonFaithful]

The way I saw Ben celebrating at the end just made me felt what Ben 10: Evolutions would be like.

[zoombie]

Anyone notice all on the people on the planet looked identical. Some of them are female right? If they are all guys, I don't like the long term surviving of a planet of dudes.

I would guess that the females would've been kinda skinny, but I didn't see one. Judging from the way they cheered, I'm assuming they're men.

I would guess that the females would've been kinda skinny, but I didn't see one. Judging by the way they cheered, I'm assuming they're men.I remember there being a female Diamondhead shown in the original series ("Gwen 10"). But still, it seems like laziness on their part.

Yep, it must've been laziness. They were probably too tired to draw female diamondheads.

[HEATXZ]

Great episode :anime:
Great to see Chromastone again
XD Vilgax got a cold

That episode never happened, it was a 'what if' and isn't canonical. Fiction within the fiction, as it were. Considering that the Diamondheads are crystalline and silicon-based, they probably reproduce asexually and don't need sexual dimorphism.

What about Secret of the Omnitrix? Can't remember much but when Tetrax was telling how his planet was going to be destroyed we saw some Diamondheads both female and children, can be wrong since i haven't seen the movie for awhile.

[ryandcow]

Seeing as they can be resurrected straight out if their planet, I'm gonna guess they don't need females. I hope Ben got Chromastone back.
@Mr. Freeze
I was referring to Chromy's death in VoV (Ben lost access to him when Vilgax smashed him)

[KPTitan]

I thought it was neat seeing one of Ben's aliens have some sort of "destiny" that they had to do. When Tetrax said he could "feel Chromastone's presence" within Diamondhead, does that mean that Vilgax didn't actually kill Chromastone in the season premier?

[Edward15]

Well, from the way that Guardian was talking, Chromastone is still part of the Omnitrix. Nice that we got a little more detail about Tetrax's backstory from 'Secrets Of The Omnitrix'. It also great to start seeing the Vilgax we know and love again (at least until the end). BTW, does anyone realize that Vilgax went against his vow from VoV?

[ryandcow]

For the second time actually.

[Edward15]

For the second time actually.
Uh, if you're referring to Ghost Town, I don't think that counts since he didn't come to Earth to attack anyone. Heck, he didn't even go there of his own freewill!

[ryandcow]

I was but it still broke the treaty. And he went to Earth intentionally to get Ben's help.

[Linkdarkside]

great episode,my favorite part was wend Diamond Head was runin and resurrected the Petrosapiens




but i also have some questions.


Why the Petrosapiens had Cromastone Armor is it some type of clothes?


were were the women and children that die?


and why all of the Petrosapiens had Diamonhead/Tetrax Color wend one of the



pop pups in the original said that they come in different colors. ?


I know they did not show the entire planet population but still




most likely lazy animators since they all look like copy and paste.

[Light Lucario]

I thought that this was a nice episode. It was nice to see more of Tetrax's backstory, even though I thought that we would seem more obvious sadness/regret when he saw his home planet being destroyed. Even though it was cool to see Chromostone have more of a purpose to the storyline, I thought that it was just too weird that one crystal could bring a dead planet back to life, along with all of the creatures living there. Then again, weirder things have happen in this series.

It was also really cool to see Vilgax acting more like a villain. He was more of a threat here than he was in his first two appearances. Though, I agree that the ending with him getting Ben's cold was kind of weak. Even though saving the planet will boost Ben's ego, at least he didn't gloat about it like he does with stopping the High Breed's plans.

He didn't destroy the High Breed, he stopped their universal invasion!

[Light Lucario]

Oh yeah. I must have been thinking of something else when I typed that up. Sorry about that. My mistake. Thanks for pointing it out.

[RonDrakenfan17]

This was one of my favorite episodes. It had good animation and I liked Ben's line on him saying "He should have stayed in bed" It made me LOL. Vilgax was pretty cool here, admit it. I liked Ben's use of his alieans here, pretty good. And I really liked his character here too. LOL Kevin willing to shoot the truck driver made me LOL too. Kevin's too funny. Over all it was a good one. Can't wait for the next one.

[Project:Cadmus]

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this one.

On one hand it's good to see Tetrax again, and I liked his feelings on how he needed to redeem himself. I'm guessing that line about having a score to settle with Vilgax at the end means he's going to be back for the finale. Also, it's good to see Vilgax acting more like his evil self.

On the other, the mechanics around the crystal, Diamondhead, and Chromestone were really weird, even for this show.

Other thoughts:

So one of Vilgax's powers in super hearing.

Past Vilgax looks kind of strange in this art style.

Kevin picked up the smoothie from the drive-thru without his ID mask on. Did that guy just have a very quiet freak out offscreen or are the people around Bellwood just used to this stuff?

[KPTitan]

I lol'd when I seen Kevin's version of road rage (him wanting to blow up the truck in front of them).

On the subject of Kevin not having his ID mask on when at the drive-thru... they just might be used to seeing that type of stuff. In "In Charm's Way", I was expecting that one little boy (the one who had confronted Kevin at the beach) to freak out when he saw his true form, but he didn't. So yeah, I'm assuming they're used to seeing strange stuff like that.

Oh and when Ben's hand went missing and two boys found it, I thought they would cry or yell for help but they just said like any other boy says: "Sweet!!!".

[zoombie]

Yeah Bellwood is a very alien rich town, so they are used to it. Just like Jump City is used to be attacked by super villain, just Amity Park is used to ghost attack, just like Kurakura Town is used to being attacked by dark spirits. It is just an average day for them.

[vanidad]

Good episode but is oficially what the continued of Alien Force not is equal that the original series and everything was shown in episode 9...

What?

[Dudley]

What?

Vanidad's English has been known to be poor.

[creativerealms]

The whole world of ben ten even as early as season one of the first series seemed use to aliens even though they did not officially exist. It's almost like the existence of aliens in the Ben Ten universe is something the average person just decides to ignore and act like nothing is going on.

Yes I know that my english is poor and I'm taking classes of english okay... -.-

Ragnarok

[ryandcow]

Siiiick.....

[ToonFaithful]

I have a feeling that guy is gonna be EPIC.

[Tom 3 forever]

Interesting his design reminds me of an Alien Version of Deadman cant wait to see him in action

[Bubblegum Girl]

I saw that pic on Dwayne's forum. He looks pretty cool. Now I really want to see the Vendetta episode(And I'm also hoping that Vendetta will sort out Kevin's mutated problem) though I have no idea when CN will even air the episode...

Ragnarok: Kevin.... I, am your father...
Kevin: NAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!....... wut?

I put that in spoiler tags just in case... it'll highly be unlikely, but still... ya never know.

He definately looks awesome, he reminds me of Zoroark (http://www.serebii.net/generation5/) for some reason.:anime: When was this episode supposed to air anyways? I thought it was scheduled for yesterday.... and the week before that...
