What accounts for this continuity error?
Executive producers Andrew Kreisberg and Todd Helbing addressed that very question after a recent press screening of Tuesdays episode.
I dont remember, said Kreisberg, laughing.
You make a lot of TV, were gonna say some things that we probably shouldnt have.
But then Helbing chimed in with an explanation: Hello, Flashpoint!
Oh yeah, Flashpoint, chuckled Kreisberg.
Thats right, Flashpoint erased that.
Ah yes, Flashpoint the gift that keeps on giving almost a year later.
And not just his skill set, but also that character.
That was sort of our hope for Ralph.
