I enjoyed this episode, to be honest. Though, one of my main issues, which is also one of the issues I had with the previous episode, is the shortage of alternate Bens. Don't get me wrong, I did like the ones they had, Gwen 10 was a nice touch, but I think they could have done more. For example, why not have a modern Gwen 10, a 16 year old one? If most versions of Ben had an Omnitrix or had heard of it, I really think we could have been able to see more Bens. Picture an army of various good Bens going against an army of evil ones, that's what I was hoping for when I first saw the syponsis involving the alternate Bens. Sure, the evil ones had good designs, but I feel like we should be able to know something about them, what makes them different, treatment that the good Bens received, but not the evil ones. Sure, Bad Ben is a "bad" Ben, and Albedo..we know about, as well as Eon, but Nega Ben, Mad Ben..nothing. However, since the final two episodes of Arc 7, I believe, include Mad Ben, perhaps he will get the backstory he deserves. Another issue I have would be the alien choices, particularly by Ben 10,000. The same two fusion aliens, in both episodes. Fusion aliens were something that people had been wanting to return since Doctor Animo and the Mutant Ray. I mean, if the Biomnitrix can fuse aliens, you'd think Ben 10,000 would try something different than just two fusions. Granted, Atomix and Alien X are Ben's most powerful aliens, and Four Arms and Humungousaur are some of the most used, kind of overrated aliens, but there's what, close to 70 other aliens that could have been chosen? I mean, this Ben 10,000 is the one from OS, and in his first appearance, he prefered XLR8 over most other aliens, why couldn't he use the Biomnitrix to fuse XLR8 and something else? Oh well, that's just my opinion. Overall, great episodes, especially the parts in Good Ben's dimension and the past.
