*** Retractable genitals are a common feature in many species -- take a look at reptiles. The more pressing question is what Pyronite semen is composed of; if it's on fire like the rest of them, there could be some problems.

** Eh, there was never anything in the first series that said that Ben DIDN'T get hurt when his alien forms get hurt. He just doesn't get hurt that often. And if damage really does carry over through all transformations, I assume he could heal most injuries just by turning into Swampgas and regenerating.

* HOW IN THE WORLD CAN BEN [[Mister Seahorse|GIVE BIRTH ?]] ((Please excuse the CAPS LOCK OF RAGE)) And how is neither he, nor Gwen or anyone else [[Squick|Squicked]] ? The episodes aren't pout in Europe, so I can only guess what happens - how do the babies get [[Hand Wave|Handwaved]] away ?

** The transformation is a DNA rewrite, so the Necrofrigian can apparently replicate asexually. Either that, or Big Chill took Ben's body walkies at some point. Or maybe Azimuth just caught the DNA sample off a Necrofrigian that was about to lay eggs.

**** But "enough of them" could still be a very small percentage of what they were at their peak. So long as enough Highbreed were just fertile enough to keep an overall 1:1 ratio going, the problem could've been quietly building for countless generations. It's only within the last few generations that the reproduction rate became unsustainable, and the danger of extinction became an urgent problem.

* So let me get this straight -- twice in the finale, Ben decides that they have to get into the Highbreed HQ -- first on Earth and then on their home world. Each time, they basically embark on a kamikaze run, first with Kevin's tricked-out car and then with Ship. Too bad they didn't have someone on their team who could move through time and space in the blink of an eye, without risking valuable equipment or someone's LIFE.

** Oh wait, they DID. For some reason, they decided he was of better use blasting hostages one at a time with the same device about 10 other people were using.

*** I see your point. Paradox is effectively a GOD. Not even a superman-esque [[Physical God]], I'm talking about a Doctor Manhattan on steroid ''with the ability to actually act'' i.e. a puppet that can see the strings, kick the puppeteer in the balls AND take over. In ANY other media, one would need a huge [[Deus Exit Machina]] to make the stories interesting. In ''Alien Force''? [[They Just Didn't Care]].

* Vilgax's alliance with <s>negative Ben</s> Albedo makes no sense. Why would he want the omnitrix when the Ultimatrix is clearly superior? Failing that, since he was already "allied" why wouldn't he just let him use it to become normal again instead of making an enemy that was more powerful and stronger than Ben?

** It's really a case that neither of them thought it out. Albedo wasn't going to give Vilgax the Ultimatrix for nothing and Vilgax couldn't take it from him. Albedo wants to return to his true form. A smart Vilgax would have helped traded the Omnitrix for the vastly superior Ultamatrix and Albedo would have accepted the trade. Alternatively when Vilgax betrayed him Albedo could have pointed out his was better suited for use as a weapon given a breif demonstration. . .or heck he could have explained that after Vilgax captured him. Really it's just a really bad case of Idiot Ball.

** At this point, Vilgax wants the Omnitrix so he can transform his [[Mecha Mook]] army. The robots don't react to the Ultimatrix, so he doesn't want it. Then again, they don't react to the Omnitrix until he gets it, and he doesn't transform himself along with his [[Mook|Mooks]], so maybe he's built some kind of cybernetic control device into his arm, and it isn't compatible with the Ultimitrix.

* Why would a species develop the ability to shoot missiles? How would a species develop the ability to shoot missiles? And why a cold blooded reptile species? Under what understanding of biology does that approach possibility?
