But that's just the thing. They're really trying to make this retcon, that makes absolutely no sense at all when you look at many UAF episodes (like Basic Training (Ben's a Plumber, and so is Kevin, which should've made finding him take no more than a second), Vendetta, Absolute Power and the rest of the Aggregor arc), look like it makes sense. This is not a matter of some underlying mission; Servantis is not continuing to control Kevin making the entire episode pointless (but it wouldn't be the first time an episode was absolutely pointless (*cough* And Then There Were None/Was Ben *cough*)).

First, I consider And Then There Were None/And Then There Was Ben to be the franchise's best episodes. Beating the previous Frogs of War.

I am going to be honest here. I though UAF to be....not that good. Not bad, but not all that good either. It kept the action, but replaced the humor with melodrama, and extreame anti climaxes (Ultimate Enemy Part 2)This is why I consider Omniverse, to be almost as good as the original.

Anyway. As I said. As long as they can make a good story from this I don't mind the retcon. I didn't say And Then There Were None/Was Ben were bad episodes (actually keeping my opinion quiet, because that's about as pointless as this); instead, I pointed out how absolutely useless the episode is. They basically took something that could've made some great arc and turned it into what can practically be called filler; the goal of the episode was also to teach an alternate timeline's Ben a lesson simply because the lesson had already been taught to "Ben Prime" (Why is he not called Ben 10? Who knows!).

And anything that UAF was, good or bad to anyone, OV is several steps down. Not a single episode ends without some inexplicable event that might as well have been answered with magic, with the exclusion of first-parters that will ultimately end the second part with magic. Really look at Omniverse for this and say it's as good as the original to ruin the original and UAF while at the same time staying inconsistent and presenting downright abhorrable content to past series' fans.

They can't make a good story out of this; the whole debut episode is flawed. Only by telling us this episode was absolutely pointless as it was all false will they be able to redeem themselves. But even then, they'll have to ride it on that "war that can't be won" people have been talking about =.=
