Rath is everybody's favorite to watch. I think he was the most original alien idea this show has come up with.
To be honest, Teppei is partially based on Kevin. And on Sokka. And a little bit on Power Rangers RPM in general, based on the way they lovingly poke fun at Power Rangers tropes. And I think based on the "Yang-Yin" crew's tendency to be deadpan genre savvy, I wanted to headdesk at how long it took Gwen and Ben to catch on.
In retrospect, I've got mixed feelings about this episode. I enjoyed it when I was watching it, but as I picked it apart, I had more issues. And it's strange because I found what I analyzed to be really interesting. But I think part of it might come down to the fact that the video cut out during the final battle, so I had to go and look for it online in order to do the review, and I hated having to put in the extra work just for a short scene.
