User blog comment:Xandermcc/Why did Flashpoint last only one episode?/@comment-3481504-20161101004945

First, you need to consider you can only fit so much into a 40 minute episode. And, now while the 'Flashpoint' world they created wasn't perfect, it was pretty good. A place where they did go askew and wrong, for example, was totally leaving out E-1 Wells. It would've been great to see him used in some way, but we got absolutely nothing. And if they did both 3x01 and 3x02 as a single, hour-long episode, it would've come off better. And even overlord Berlanti said that the changes that have happened as a result of Flashpoint, are irreversible, meaning that Flashpoint wasn't just some meaningless event that was just completely fixed. So I for the most part think they did a reasonably good job on the episode.
