It depends on what you mean by "junk". What I want is for the show to go back to the original timeline without flashbacks, possibly through some characters time traveling back to a month or 2 after the events of "Auld Acquaintance", in a way that doesn't ignore the invasion plotline or the new characters but still brings us back to the old team in their old state, shows us how they developed and formed their alliances with the new members, and maybe even changes a few things about their future. Yes, it is possible because 1) the invasion had to have been planned and acted out from the beginning, so it would still be relevant after the jump-back, 2) most of the new members, such as Mal, Bumblebee, Batgirl, and Beast Boy had already appeared in Season 1 so there's still a chance of seeing them in action in the original timeline and those who didn't appear before Season 2 could be the time travellers, and 3) Greg Weisman has allowed changes to timelines to occur (remember how the future changed in the Ben 10 universe after the "Ben 10,000" episode that he wrote).

Speaking of Greg Weisman, I do not expect him to say that he made a mistake in doing the time-skip. All I want is for him to explain why he did the time-skip in the first place and to indicate whether or not he knew that there would be so much controversy over the time-skip when he put it into the storyline. If he did expect this controversy, then there's a possibility that he planned something out for this season that would resolve the problems caused by the time-skip. But if he didn't expect this controversy, then he clearly just rushed ahead with this storyline without introducing the new characters sufficiently or explaining past events in an efficient manner. With that, the results will certainly alienate the old fans, confuse the new viewers, and therefore cause ratings to drop.
