I guess from now on, I can include elaboration and ratings for each episode as we proceed with the season in comparison to my season 3 list (it certainly changed, be on the look out in the season 3 tournament's conclusion for my true list), here's what we have based on the space arc so far:

1. The Arena of Carnage (Overall a strong episode standalone, may benefit further from a longer pacing of at least an extra episode to 15 minutes and a little explanation of some stuff to be excellent.) Rating: 7.5/10

2. The Outlaw Armaggon! (Personal bias towards Ron and Armaggon. Problem is the misleading of Armaggon being prominent and him being rather bland in his debut. The strongest of the first four episodes, but rather lacking in execution despite some excellent scenes and lines) Rating: 7/10

3. The Weird World of Wyrm (Personally, while it doesn't contribute much to the overall narrative, I did have a lot of fun with this filler in comparison to the ones in season 3. This episode was honestly the most fun I've had all season so far, Wyrm was an excellent addition. What lands it here and what prevents a higher rating is Casey though as I didn't like his character at all this episode. Getting past that is entertainment, something season 4 lacks to an extent for me personally.) Rating: 6.5/10

4. Riddles of the Ancient Aeons (I mostly had a difficult time where to place this episode. The concept is way too forced and while the little moments are sprinkled in, it pales in comparison to the original ones previous in the show, specifically the Leo and Raph hug. The gags near the episode's conclusion such as the slinky Fugitoid made me smile though, but is rather lacking in promise.) Rating: 5.5/10

5. Beyond the Known Universe (An overall gorgeous looking episode with the setting and the random aliens, but is otherwise lacking in the writing department such as Dregg. I honestly wish I could like this episode, but it's rather mixed to me personally.) Rating 5.5/10

6. Journey to the Center of Mikey's Mind (While creative in Mikey's brain, not enough time is spent on it and not enough time to the title is given. Bellybomb was a fun addition, but not so much the Neutrinos on the other hand, who I call Brain Busters more. I still harbor a grudge for it, but it's not the worst of Mikey's episodes in the show. Honestly wished the concept had more done overall with it so I didn't have to rank it near the bottom.) Rating: 5/10

7. The Moons of Thalos 3 (An extremely generic and lifeless episode in comparison to Beyond the Known Universe. Also contains yet another poor romance in the show with Raphael and horribly rushed pacing with the Mona x Raph dynamic itself.) Rating: 3.5/10

1. The arena of carnage.
It has great fight scenes and moves the plot forward.

2. The moons of Thalos.
It had great fight scenes and introduced us to more of the salamandarians( been waiting for this ), and to the war among different aliens.

3. The outlaw Armaggon.
Leo/Armaggon fight and new character.

4. Beyond the known universe.
It introduced Dregg.

5. Riddle of the ancient Aeons.
6. Journey to the center of Mikey's mind.

7. Weird world of Wyrm.
I liked how Casey tricked him,it was genius.

1:The Ever Burning Fire
Spaceship action was really cool, so was Tokka being a cosmic monster. The Dregg/Mozar alliance I had in mind came true! So hype for the next one!

2:The Cosmic Ocean
Great scenery, loved the references, and some Dregg action.

3:Revenge of the Triceratons
Liked the chase sequences, and FINALLY a Donnie ep!

4:The Evil of Dregg
It was nice to see another Raph episode, but the robot Dregg was stupid.

5:The War For Dimension X
Backstory on Kraang helped a lot, fight sequences were on point, didn't need all the smooches.

6:Trans Dimensional Turtles
Could've waited until the space arc was over but still amazing.

7: The Arena of Carnage
Tri-Arena was great, Zeno was a EPIC, episode should have been a two parter, just me tho.

8: Riddle of the Ancient Aeons
The wait was worth it, Aeons were a tad predictable.

9: Beyond the known Universe
Mos Eisley.....nuff said.

10: The Outlaw Armaggon
Didn't quite focus on Armaggon, cool nonetheless.

11: The Moons of Thalos 3
It was something fresh and new! Kinda.

12: Journey to the Center of Mikey's Mind
Neutrinos disappointed me, but better than the last one.

13: The Weird World of Wyrm
Didn't do anything to advance the plot whatsoever, waste of an episode.

That's what the best episode tournament is for.

This is ranking each episode after its aired. For example I put The Arena of Carnage at no 1 as it's my favorite episode so far but we got 19 episodes left and there might be better episodes than that So I doubt It will stay at no 1 at the end of the season it could end up being 15th place.

(all summations written as shortly as possible)
#1- The Cosmic Ocean
Again, I'm surprised to put this at #1 because it's from the bland pen of Mark Henry. The opening scene itself raises many questions including "What is real?", "What can you know?", "What drives someone?" and the kind of effect it has on Leonardo going forward throughout this episode. Beautiful animation, other little touches, and the use of Armaggon and Dregg are also used effectively.
#2- "Beyond the Known Universe"
A good pick-off of the S3 finale, with the IDW stills, the Fugitoid's lovable nature, the return of the slap, and the "2001: ASO"-esque animation forming a great beginning. The rest of it is basically build-up with some great character moments thrown in, all used to great effect.
#3- "Riddle of the Ancient Aeons"
After counting four uses of religious symbolism in the final moments of "Annihilation Earth" (what can I say? I'm a sucker for this kind of stuff), Brandon Auman continues with the angelic Aeons and their demonic forms. The use of the planets' effects on the Turtles and its indifferent effects on the Triceratons were also well-handled, not to mention what makes these two groups different from each other without being expository. Good attention to geography from director Michael Chang too.
#4- "Trans-Dimensional Turtles"
A really fun episode that was quite funny, with a possibly important moment between Splinter and Leo (who's torn between telling him what will happen or not to). Kraang Sub-sub Prime's over-the-top comedy routine is also put to good use here as well as good continuity regarding his anger at Krang's plan to destroy dimensions (ala the Triceratons and what will happen in AE).
#5- "Moons of Thalos 3"
What can I say? I'm a sucker for Keith David. He and Leo had great interaction and while Raph's and Mona's relationship--not to mention her stilted dialogue--may not be well-earned, it still allowed Raph to show a side of him that should be shown more often (such as his early scenes with Mikey).
#6-#10 (in no order include "....Wyrm", "Outlaw Armaggon", "Arena of Carnage", "JttCoMM", "Revenge of the Triceratons") are a mixed bag. They all had their moments and were all usually competent but for the most part unexciting episodes without much to say. Some had better development in some areas compared to the others too.
#11- "The War for Dimension X"
Maybe it's just me but an episode with a title like that should not be penned by your comedy writers. Kevin Burke and Chris Wyatt have not made one good episode with the possible exception of "Mutagen Man Unleashed". Savage Mikey always brings good things to the table and the opportunity to meet Bishop and the Utrom Council was something to look forward to but for the most part, the episode was uninvolving and short of the potential established. Again, not a bad episode but expectations were far from met!

1. Revenge Of The Triceratons (Really enjoyed this one. It was a rollercoaster ride from beginning to end. Casey was likeable and useful here, kind of a pity they still can't decide on how to write him)
2. The Weird World Of Wyrm (Even if just filler, I found it pretty entertaining for some reason. The turtles actually being afraid of Casey and Casey then turning against Wyrm is still one of my favorite moments in this season)
3. The Arena Of Carnage (Really liked Zeno as a character. The turtles dropping their weapons and putting their fate in Zeno's hands was another one of my favorite moments this season)

4. Beyond The Known Universe
5. Trans Dimensional Turtles
6. The Outlaw Armaggon
7. The War For Dimension X
8. Riddle Of The Ancient Aeons
9. The Cosmic Ocean
10. The Moons Of Thalos 3
11. Journey To The Center of Mikey's Mind
