Great episode, bad adaptation of Flashpoint. Then again, I didn't expect them to adapt Flashpoint precisely, so I mostly liked it.

The only thing I hated was the portrayal of The Rival. "Gee how do we adapt a speedster named 'Rival'? Make him say the word 'rival' all the time, of course!"

Then again, the showmakers gave all the interesting parts and peculiarities of Edward Clariss sans the silly hat to what they ended up calling "Zoom". Funnily enough, the Rival actually ended up a watered down version of the comics' Hunter Zolomon (immediately revealing his identity, big on the whole rivalry part of the superhuman vigilantes, requiring the efforts of more than one Flash to defeat)
