I really, really liked Good Ben. The whole transformation of the series since "The More Things Change" has, admittedly, disappointed me. Ben is way too confident, the enemies (like Psyphon, for instance) have become cheesy and powerless, and most villainous plots to take over the universe (like stealing Azmuth's brain?!) were unconvincing and dull.

But when Good Ben got thrown in, it really put the series in a new perspective that I enjoyed. That very first part of the episode with Good Ben living a normal, boring life was my favorite part - and then Bad Ben's appearance was also cool, with the Albedo personality and everything. Having a normal Ben for once made things a bit different and definitely secured me for a few more seasons at least.

It was fun to be able to compare Good Ben to the Ben of our franchise. It's obvious that they have different personality traits, but I think, overall, I liked Good Ben better. The complete elimination of everything that happened since day one really made things interesting for at least the first part of "And Then There Were None..."

As for the elements of the episode itself, well... not as interesting. That scene with Paradox and the Good Bens (Ben 23, Gwen 10, Ben 10,000...) was the cheesiest scene I've watched since "Catfight."

But the annihilation of all of the Bens was pretty cool... killing of the mainstream Ben was a real plus. So, in "And Then There Was Ben," they surely will bring him back (it would be an AMAZING plot twist if they didn't, but they obviously will), and so I'm thinking that Good Ben will probably have to rescue mainstream Ben somehow in a number of time-twists throughout the history of the series. It will be an interesting episode.

Like I said, this was a great episode and by far the best in Omniverse so far, especially because of Good Ben and the regular-world twist. Great move on the part of the producers - I hope future episodes will be as good as this.
