Fine, introduce new stuff but retconing something that's been there for 15 years? I was already peeved at the whole "Dr. J survived past the last episode" thing.
I didn't like Dr.J surviving either but what Sumizawa has done isn't much different than what Tomino did with the Zeta movie trilogy.

Retcons are bound to happen after a story is revived many years later. And while Preventer 5 can't be considered canon if FT is, have any plot-points from Episode Zero been contradicted?
