1. I find both the summaries for Couples Retreat and Catch a Falling Star very unpredictable, and dumb, remember when in The Perfect Girlfriend, Elena knew how hatred feels, and in The Creature from Beyond and A Knight to Remember, Gwen couldn't control her anodite powers due to the Lucubra? 2. According to Ben, he has discovered 31 aliens (the 6 ultimates, the 5 Andromeda Aliens, Fasttrack, Clockwork, ChamAlien, Eatle, Jury Rigg and Nanomech), who are the other 14 aliens? 3. If the Nanochips are called Nanites, do you think that might have something to do with Generator Rex? 4. Is there a love-triangle between Ben, Julie and Eunice? 5. Are Sir George, Diagon and Elena the 3 main antagonists of season 2?
1. Huh? 2. We don't have a list like that sitting around. That's for the fans to figure out. 3. No. 4. Watch the show and find out. 5. Watch the show and find out.

I dunno. Maybe one of the older ones, since reflexes slow down with age. Let's say Martina Navratilova - thereby injuring her so she can't be on Dancing with the Stars...

zzzteg wrote:To Matt and Eugene, I have some questions for you: 1) What is the name of the species of Clockwork? That interesting Swiss accent he has is pays homage to the famous clocks there? 2) Who was who had the idea of turning Elena Validus in a "psychopath villain" in Ultimate Alien, and why? 3) Although that's a private issue, it would be fantastic and interesting for the fans to know about some "unmade episodes of Ben 10." In other words: ideas of episodes that were not used, or discard stories that were not accepted to become an episode .... My question is, could reveal that in some special in an upcoming "Ben 10 DVD" or something like that for the future? 4) To Eugene: What is your less favorite alien and episode? 
1. Um, I have a name here given to me, but I don't know if it's official. You probably have to wait for the Clockwork action figure packaging or one of the future Ben 10 books to get the official name. 2. No idea. I'm guessing either Glen or Dwayne, but I wasn't there for that decision. It could've been creative execs at Cartoon Network for all I know. 3. That's a good idea. The problem is that we're still making episodes, so the stories that weren't used could still get made someday. I have some ideas that were rejected previously, but might end up getting used again, so I don't want to put them out there just yet. But it's a good idea. 4. Least favorite? I honestly don't have a least favorite. I guess I'm least attached to Ditto, since he was only used in a handful of episodes and then since Alien Force we've had so much fun with Echo Echo. As for a least favorite episode, there's an episode in the first series of Ben 10 that bugged me, but the writer is a good friend of mine, so I don't want to throw them under a bus by outing the episode.

Depends on your definition of reboot. It's a "reboot" in that it's a new series with new characters and some really new wrinkles in the Ben 10 universe. But it's a "continuation" because it keeps following Ben after Ben 10: Ultimate Alien.

1. I didn't write the episode, but I imagine that it takes a while to build a custom one. 2. We didn't say.

Good question. I have no idea. Let's hope we get a lot more than 200!

username wrote:Hi guys! Wow, long time since I've been here! So, anyway I'm not sure if you can answer these, but might as well see: 1. Do you like the way the new Ben 10 series is going so far? 2. Why is Ben so destructive? Many times he uses Humungosoar when it seems to make more sense to use, say Big Chill. We've seen him use common sense before, so why does he completly lack it sometimes? 3. What is the entire plot to the new series? I know you can't answer that, I just want to see the Rath no spoilers message, or a really confused Matt, since this is about the future.
1. We're really excited. The animation looks fantastic, and the stories are... well, I can't spoil it, but we're having a lot of fun writing them. 2. Sometimes you need a light touch. Sometimes you need a sledgehammer. And hey, Ben sometimes likes to use the sledgehammer... 3. Here ya go-

2.) How much of ultimate alien was completed before we lost Dwayne?
3.) Who has taken over for Dwayne?
1. Yes and no. None of the Ben 10 shows have had a series bible written, but Dwayne was absolutely involved with the creation of the 4th series. After the show starts airing, I can talk more about what parts were Dwayne and how the show has changed during the development process. 2. All the writing and recording was finished on Ultimate Alien. All that was left was some animation and post-production on the last few episodes.
