Around the same time Greg Sanders decided that committing crimes was more fun than solving them? I dunno.
One thing I've noticed so far is that the team dynamic is shifting again. First off, Ben's not a leader anymore. He's got nothing to lead. When you're a three-man team, being the leader really doesn't mean a whole lot. Look at Scott with just Summer and Flynn, or Conner with just Kira and Ethan. In their cases, they were more field commanders answering to their mentors, Dr. Initial (yeah, like K and O escaped my notice). He's got no reason to really strategize or anything; he doesn't have an enemy who's testing him on that level, not since the Highbreed or the one fight in The Final Battle. Which means I'd like to see more of Albedo or one of the other smart villains like him. And as for Kevin, he's becoming more of a voice of reason on the team, the way Gwen usually was or how Ben would act as mediator between them. He's the one going, "Guys, does this sound really stupid, or is it just me?" So I'll be interested to see how the new roles develop.
