If Savitar…

True! It'd just be nice if they got a bit more personality next time we see them… and if Mirror Master could wear something a bit more colorful.

The one and only good thing that came of this reveal is the fact that they DIDN'T make it Jay Garrick again— meaning that Jay can continue his reign as the Best Speedster Ever on the show.

NOTHING about this holds up. If Future Barry's operating off of future knowledge that he has from living through these events, then the future would HAVE to be unchangeable, since Savitar's arrival in the past would change history automatically, rendering those memories useless. Unless, of course, they were living in…

Exactly. Make it about organized crime! A whole legion of foes for the Flash to go up against, rather than just that one guy that he can never seem to defeat (until he can).

Honestly, at this point, I find the filler episodes more entertaining than the ones that move the season's plot forward. At least the fillers don't have to feel like they're crammed full of arbitrary drama to make the season seem more epic or interesting than it actually is.

So basically you're saying that even BARRY knows he's the worst, and that the only way he could possibly motivate himself to get off his ass and do the right thing for once is to violently murder the one and only person he seems to give any kind of a sh*t about?

I'm hoping the reference to the Thinker is actually a lead-in to a full-on Rogues-centric season, since the Thinker was part of a big Rogue storyline back when Geoff Johns was writing the Flash comics.

They're probably not going to, since the book covers that featured Wells's face in the "Once and Future Flash" episode were all clearly Tom Cavanagh.

Yeah, well, Injustice was written to justify a bullsh*t Mortal Kombat game starring all the heroes of the DCU, so… yeah, not exactly gonna call that a winning example.

No, no, he defeats Savitar in some completely different, total bullsh*t way (probably something to do with Time Remnants again)… and THEN he travels back to when Reverse-Flash killed his mom.

Alright, I've refrained from talking about this possibility for a while now… mostly because I honestly didn't think the writers would be foolish enough to go for it. But now that we all know that Future Barry Allen is actually the evil speedster Savitar…

Things don't settle into the "hey, it's okay" range until the hype fades away. Pre-release hype is such a thunderously powerful force these days, with the ubiquitousness of TV advertising, trailers, trailer teases, posters, etc., that it supercharges expectations well before the movie comes out… which means a decent…

Remember that one time in season one when J'onn used his telepathic abilities to erase a security guard's memories of his break-in at Lord Industries, and the trauma was so catastrophic that it fried the guy's mind?

This actually makes me irrationally sad.

Hathaway is actually my favorite Catwoman, because she's the only one that actually played the character as she is in the books— not a damaged psychopath, not a campy vamp— and she absolutely NAILED it.

I hope she brought the button, chanting, T-shirt, and picnic methods to the prison with her.

Yeah, I know this kind of light, consequence-free drama is par for the course at this point, but dang it… it would have been so easy to wring drama, humor, and pathos from this set-up!

It does if it's explicitly referenced later.

Well, if they're even going to go down the road of giving Kara an unemployed phase, then why not go in the Peter Parker/Spider-Man direction and actually make her unemployment an issue for her? Y'know— give it some sense of stakes, rather than creating an arbitrary plot cul-de-sac that has no effect on Kara's life…
