I can't wait for this episode. I saw pictures of it from other people that have already seen it and looks awesome

So Max knew Kevin's dad and his name is Delvin. Hmm interesting. I hope they dig deeper with Kevin's family story.

A take on the old soulder doesn't knew the war is over story, as that ever really happened?

I never saw the other humans get out of that thing, that Highbread did say to get the other humans out.

Conspiquete by their absence, Max's students are no where to be seen.

Eh, so-so episode this week, I though we were over the whole DNAliens thing but I guess not....

Don't worry, this was probably just a one-time thing.

In any case, next episode's going to be more interesting, especially since I've been waiting for it for a long time now...

I actually think this has been the best episode so far this season (besides the next one after this), mostly because they had to deal with an actual "threat"....the last threat they had to deal with was Vilgax (if I recall) in this season so far.

Gawd....that huge Highbreed monster immediately reminded me of the Kolossus from Code Lyoko.

That was definately my favorite part, and mostly for that reason too.

Yes indeed. And the episode after next maybe even more interesting based on the episode title. I know in the next episode, an old villian returns, maybe in the episode after next another old villain returns, the one who argueably is toe to toe with Vilgax as far as being Ben's greatest threat.

It's kind of a meh episode, as I'm still wondering why the soldiers are unfazed by seeing a mutated Kevin and other aliens, and where are the other people that were trapped in the giant monster.
Nice to see Rhiney again.

Can't wait to see the next episode though. Sounds like it'll be pretty cool!

"WAY BIG! ... Aw, man. Humungousaur."
After a couple of weeks of the Omnitrix refusing to let him turn into Humungo, he gets Humungo instead of Way Big.

A pretty fun episode; it's nice to see Gwen learning to adjust the consistency of her energy forms, able to make a soft one instead of just solid walls and the like. I have to admit, like Ben, I didn't think about how Swampfire's plant control powers could come in handy. Guess he's not the only one losing his touch this season.

I saw this ep 2 weeks ago and enjoyed it (probably because reiney is my 2nd favorite minor character) but I also liked the oh no we lost part and how out dated the highbreeds knowledge is... but the malfunctions kill me I hate when the omnitrix doesn't work because its working was what set the two shows apart for me and made this one better.

It'll certainly put a dent in the Gwen/Kevin relationship, to which I say good! I'm sorry, but to this day I don't care at all for that couple. It's way too forced, contrived, and all around ill-written.

AnimationX · #13 11-07-2009, 12:32 AM

Not a bad episode tonight, this season has been iffy by my tastes but tonights episode was a step in the right direction, I just hope that the show can get back to the awesomeness of the previous two seasons, I was in Alien Force heaven at that point in time.

ryandcow · #14 11-07-2009, 12:40 AM

Well especially in the next ep the omnitrix fails kinda ruin it...... I liked bens dominant control of the omnitrix in the 1st two seasons.

Well after the Alien X and the Vilgax two parter I believe that aliens are no longer a secret to the world on Ben ten. Of course it really has not been explained so i'm just guessing here.

zoombie · #16 11-07-2009, 09:55 AM

I think Ben needs to apology to Azmuth and beg for his forgivness, and than his Omnitrix problems will be gone.

I believe that they stopped the broadcast for Ben's fight against Vilgax, so I think that the knowledge of alien life is still mostly a secret for the vast majority of earth. Though, that apparently changes by the time the new series starts.

I thought that this was a fairly decent episode. It wasn't terrific, but it wasn't that bad either. I was hoping that we would hear a story about Kevin's dad since we hardly know anything about his life. It's also still weird that in some episodes, the Omnitrix works fine and then in other episodes, it doesn't give him the alien he wants. It's kind of confusing, but at least that's better than having it always messing up like it did in the original series.

I did like how this was a bigger threat than most of the other challenges they've faced this season and seeing Rhiney again was pretty cool. Hopefully, there isn't another Highbreed trap left somewhere on Earth. It was an overall nice episode. I just hope that we'll finally get something interesting about Kevin's past in the next new episode.

Actually, I remember Max saying that he blocked the broadcast just as Ben arrived to the battle, so it's possible that the parts of the transmission before were seen around the world.

I really do wish we'd get to see a wider scale reaction on these things, though. Guess we probably won't until the end of this series...

Good point why is likely that perhaps in another episode Omnitrix I do not know who might never work again and could be forever that would be the biggest disadvantage of Ben.
