THE REVIEW
I watch each episode with my own commentary, often pausing the scenes to get my words out without having to talk over the episode, and also to point out and analyze the show's art and animation. I have seen each episode already growing up, so these reviews are to compare and contrast the five categories listed below.
PLOT (Scaled from 1 to 5 Points)
The foundation of the episode. Uniqueness and overused tropes are taken into account, but it is also judged on how well it tells the story of the episode. An episode can score a 5 even with a basic/ cliche plotline as long as it has good pacing, worthy use of its tropes, and feels well-polished. An episode can lose points due to plotholes, uneven storytelling, and relying too heavily on cliches to do the work for it.
CHARACTERIZATION (Scaled from 1 to 5 Points)
How well the characters are written. Do they feel like themselves compared to the grand narrative of the franchise? Are the supporting or one-off characters interesting, or pure plot devices? Did the humor land? Did the actions and character motivations make sense?
VISUALS (Scaled from 1 to 5 Points)
Basically, everything that happens on-screen. Character Design. Animation. Backgrounds. Creative mechanics and solutions. If there is CGI or digital effects added, how well do they blend into the show, and were they used as an enhancement, or a crutch?
IMPORTANCE (Scaled from 1 to 5 Points)
This includes, but is not strictly based on, how important the episodes are to the current story arc (if there is one) or the general narrative of the Ben 10 Franchise. Points can also be awarded for how impactful the episode was, or how favored/ important it is to the general Ben 10 fanbase. I ask myself, "If I skipped this, would I be missing out on the 'Ben 10 Experience?' "
ENTERTAINMENT (Scaled from 1 to 5)
Pretty much the most important part of developing a tv show. You can be perfect in all four of the previous categories, but the episode can still be boring. On the flip side, the episode can be absolute garbage, but still an enjoyable watch. How likely would you be to put this episode on if you were in the mood to watch Ben 10?

I'm actually surprise this got a very low score because I actually enjoyed the episode a lot. The only thing I would change is the villain. Should've probably been a younger version of Vilgax since the two had history of beef with each other. And that was before, not counting the end of Omniverse, either of them knew about the Omnitrix's existence.

It would have been better if the robot was removed, and it mainly focused on Max and Verdona meeting and just having some dumb, reckless fun. We would see that she hasn't changed all that much, and what originally drew Max to her, and we get to see Max at a younger point in his life when he was more like Ben, impulsive, but loyal. Maybe he isn't kicked out of the Air Force but leaves by his own accord to join the Plumbers to continue to spend time with her, with the flashback ending with him packing to head to the Plumber academy where he asks her if she'll be open for a date when he has a day off, and she just smiles before saying she likes his spark and flies off.

Yea, like youd think Verdona would have came back to visit once she learned Grandpa was still alive, I think we see her exactly one more time very randomly in UA and that's it, nothing more, she never comes to to try and train Gwen or visit them or anything, despite something like that being an easy way to bring her back for an episode, like man it's disappointing, because Verdona and the Anodites are so fucking cool, but we barely ever hear or especially see them outside of Gwen and her Anoditd form (though I do like that she started using her Anodite abilities more in Omniverse, but they really nerfed the hell out of her so that Ben could still have the spotlight and save the day, which sucked, like I bet the writers have some kind of excuse as to why "Lucky Girl" Gwen couldn't kick everybody's asses in mere moments anytime she appeared, but it still sucks seeing such a powerful character nerfed just so that Ben isn't outshined)

I'm surprised you didn't mention the obvious parallel between Young Max and Kevin. To me that was always the point of the episode (although not executed the best especially since Kevin doses off during the story) I feel like this could have been a 2 parter or something that shows how Gwen and Kevin's relationship functions and how it parallels Max and Verdona. Maybe even explaining that Max has a soft spot for Kevin for reminding him of his younger years. I'll agree that storywise it isn't the best episode, same for visually but something about seeing young Max mess with his car to parallel Kevin just makes me happy. They could have done more of that. Maybe have Max tell Gwen earlier in the season that Kevin reminds him of himself as a way to get her to understand that he's not a bad guy or maybe flash to a few other points in time to show Max and Verdona having kids and how Max grows whilst Verdona never changes.

This episode and Solitary Alignment are interesting writing experiments to see if they could tell a different kind of story in the Ben 10 universe.

Here me out. I think this episode should've come before we actually met Verdona. Cut out the parts where Max is telling the story and just frame it as a normal episode. Then have the episode where the Trio meet Verdona and go from there. I feel like it could actually work with setting something up and then paying it off later. So putting this earlier in the series could work.

This is probably the breakdown score i disagree with the most. This is one of my favorite episodes of the season, and i find Max's youth and encounter with Verdona to be super engaging. And yes, i understand wanting the plot to be bigger in scale, but i wouldn't hold that against an episode that can stand on it's own just fine.

Imagine if we'd gotten a prequel series centred around Max's journey from regular military man to legendary Plumber Magister known and respected across the galaxy. It would obviously be a very different show from the original series but I think they could make it work by having many of the aliens, both allies and enemies, that Max encounters be iconic ones that Ben has turned into. Like, imagine watching Max 1v1 a Tetramand using martial arts, or get into a shoot out with a Pyronite criminal.
