Is anyone else disappointed the crossover isn't a 2-parter?

When the crossover was originally confirmed around a year ago I assumed it would at least be an hour (or rather 44 minutes because of commercials), to give it proper screentime.

Instead its only 1 measly 22 minute episode. So in that time they have to give proper screentime to all 4 Turtles, the original Krang, in addition to competing with screentime from the Nick Turtles and Kraang Subprime who are all in the episode, maybe April/Casey/Fugitoid as well since they're still in space.

The episode will barely have any breathing room. They have to do the first meetings of the Turtles, the general plot, Krang working with Kraang subprime, and the resolutions all in 22 minutes. They actually brought back 4 old voices for the Turtles and Krang to only say a handful of lines (because with 10+ characters in an episode plus action scenes, each character is only going to get a few lines of course) which makes it feel like a waste.

Why couldn't they at least give it 2 episodes? This show does multi-part eps all the time so it doesn't make sense. Did we really need another "filler in space" over a two part crossover event? I'd gladly give up one of the space fillers to make this crossover a 2 parter. Just seems like a waste of CG models too that they're barely going to use.
