*eyebrow* If you don't like it. Don't watch. What's the point in b*tching about it?

Okay, I'll be fair. Look at the filler that we've had this season- with a few exceptions there are subtleties of plot.
Crash and Burn--- Double builds
Heroes United (counts as 2)----Discovery of Alpha and insight to Cesar
Phantom of the Soap Opera-- Haven't watched this one
Riddle of the Sphinx--- Discovery of VK, where he was and a result of something he changed
Double Vision--Didn't watch
Guy vs Guy --Pure filler.
Deadzone---A weapon that can make Rex like everyone else
Remote Control---This one was packed full of important plot points
Hermanos---- Don't know haven't watched it yet
I'm just saying that filler is part of the series. I've just been reading so much of this hate towards fillers, hate towards spin offs or continuations, and I can't help but think if they cut all the filler out we'd have one season and that would be it. Filler might not be ideal- but it does give us more of a show that we love.
And as much as you might hate filler- if you look at the details most of the filler episodes contain some points that are plot...
*shutting up now*

Yes but counting every episode that doesn't contain Rex fighting Providence as filler isn't logical.

Yeah. GR was only signed through 60 episodes. Then it's either signing for another season or a sequel. Or nothing

Yeah. That's about right- about 10 more guaranteed episodes as GR was only signed through 60 episodes. Then it's either signing for another season or a sequel. Or nothing Oh Dear! Oh dear oh dear........  *shaking and crying* |

Crash and Burn--- Double builds True, this has definitely come up again. Heroes United (counts as 2)----Discovery of Alpha and insight to Cesar Insight, true. Phantom of the Soap Opera-- Haven't watched this one I actually haven't watched it either. Someone enlighten me to plot? Riddle of the Sphinx--- Discovery of VK, where he was and a result of something he changed True, true. I said mostly filler. Double Vision--Didn't watch Aside from Rex's new goggle powers, nothing. Guy vs Guy --Pure filler. You do not know how much I want to punch Jake Black's face in Deadzone---A weapon that can make Rex like everyone else That hasn't come back into play yet *grumbleGatlockegrumble*, so I'm counting it as filler. Remote Control---This one was packed full of important plot points See the previous comment. Hermanos---- Don't know haven't watched it yet I'll watch it later and give my opinion. |

Hermanos and Phantom are BOTH purely filler.

I don't hate all fillers, I just don't enjoy ones that I find more obnoxious than funny. *coughGuyvsGuycough*
But the thing that bothers me most about fillers is that it feels as if someone's hit the pause button in the middle of a movie, and I'm sitting there dying of suspense, waiting for them to hit play so I can find out what happens during the rest of the movie already!

I don't hate filler. I just hate TOO MUCH filler. ^_^ you, hit the nail right on the head partner. and little , i admit, y'all have a point there, but the point i'm trying to get at is that most of them episode's were mainly fillers. yes some had some plot point's like in that riddle of the sphinx episode, but they ain't episode's that is 100% devoted to moving the main plot line. only thing was that them hieroglyph's. other then that, ain't much to advance the main plot. and to than stay waiting for over 5 weeks to get another advancement in the plot...works like a 2 edged sword. them M.O.A. fellas teasing you to stay looking at the show. but if it ain't advancing fast enough then that turns folks away from the show. like i said case in point naruto, in the last days of toonami, it was just down to ben 10 and naruto. mainly folks watched it because of naruto but when they started to head to filler... it got canned. yes them episodes had some plot advancement here and there.. but it ain't fast enough to keep folks entertained. good lord i miss toonami. |

Wait. Hold up.
Crash And Burn was not filler. We learned more about the nanites, what BK could do, double builds, and Six's trust in Rex.
Heroes United was NOT filler. Caesar and the alpha nanite. And the whole nanites jumping between dimensions to show off their power. Hello.
Phantom = Filler. But lol worth it.
RIDDLE WAS PLOT. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!?!? What part of THAT was FILLER? Van Kleiss was there, ALIVE, FOUND, he recreated the nanites to the point where they WORKED yeeeeaaaaaaaaars later, Rex received that "warning" from what's his face, Black Knight knew about this way ahead of time, and the Holix. It's not as important NOW as when it aired, just like Promises, Promises or The Forgotten, but it was WAY important then. That was nothing but plot.
Double Vision was mostly filler, but more insight to what bond Rex and Six used to have, which will turn out to be more plotty later on. Especially since Mind Games.
Guy Vs. Guy. Filler. And awful.
Deadzone. Mostly filler again, but this guy could easily be VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT.
Remote Control. Rex can take the collars off and Providence is planning something with what was left of Quarry.
Hermanos. Mostly filler, but shows the dwindling bond of Rex and Caesar.
Had to put that out there. ESPECIALLY about Riddle of The Sphinx.
Now, on the show "ending". This is MoA, folks. You realize how long they've kept Ben 10 running? I'm not saying they WILL, but I'm certainly not saying they won't.
And I'm not coming back to this thread until the next ep airs.
