The rise and fall of Ben 10

I was 9 when the original Ben 10 first aired. Hell, I remember some of the trailers for the show before it even started. When the show started I loved it. Ben 10 was my favorite show as a kid. What's more I re-watched the show last year and I still enjoyed it. I recommended the episodes "Hunted", "A Small Problem",and "Ultimate Weapon" if you want to try out the show. 

When I first saw trailers for Ben 10: Alien Force I was worried, but the idea that Kevin being a good guy this time around made me curios enough to watch. Thankfully I loved it. These kids no longer had a mentor in Max to guild them. They had to do it on their own. Kevin was really well done. While Gwen was hit or miss for me in OS, I turned into a fan of her in this season. I liked Julie. I enjoyed the more serious tone of the series. And most important I loved Ben. In five years he had changed from a kid who was giddy at the idea of being a super hero to a teenager who understands the importance of of what he did. Needless to say this is my favorite series of Ben 10. Some of my favorite episodes of Alien Force are "Paradox", "Con of Rath", and "Alone Together". As a side note: alone together is my favorite episode of all of Ben 10. 

Ultimate Alien is weird for me. It's really more of the same but with Ben's character being a little different, but I'll talk more about that later. I thought making Ben's identity public was a good idea at this point in time (why his identity becomes public is silly, but I'm amused by it). The idea of having an evolution function was a cool idea but at the end of the day wasted. This season also has the most episodes I recommend: "...Nor Iron Bars a Cage", "Prisoner Number 775 is Missing", "The Ultimate Sacrifice", "Catch a Falling Star", and "Absolute Power part 1 and 2"
