That was a solid hour. Probably one of the best of the season. Seeing Team Flash in a really dark place in the future aside from HR was quite interesting.
Yeah I liked the bright red Flash costume from the future. Really intrigued on who Savitar is. Killer Frost seemed mesmerized by the reveal.

Future Flash shook hands with present Flash and destroyed the Universe....
Either Ronnie or Eddie I'd bet. Eddie makes more sense because he's related to Thawne and could possibly still exist in Flashpoint.

Good episode. Looks like we may learn who Savitar is next week.

Well, I dunno about that 'cause Killer Frost doesn't really give two shits about Eddie. Look at her face when he reveals himself. It's so obvious it's someone she cares about.

I had the opposite reaction. She looked like to me it was someone she knew but didn't care deeply about.

Whoa, Barry needs to start wearing the 2024 costume pronto. That was the best Flash costume we've ever seen in live-action entertainment. Make it happen, Flash team. I wonder if mopey, emo Flash from 2024 was this show's metacommentary on the coming movie version of Flash?
Some think Savitar may be the Flash from the Flashpoint universe or some other time remnant. Don't ask me how that would work.

Basically going back in time, recruiting yourself from the past (thus creating a divergent timeline), and bringing that alternate past self with you into your present.
I think. Makes the best sense to me.

Tom Cavanagh did a nice job directing this episode.
Killer Frost was brutal for what she did to Vibe.
Also nice to see Mirror Master and the Top again.

Won't we be surprised when we discover Savitar is actually Lady Savitar. The costume and voice seem very male which is why I think its a fake-out and its a female character. Who is a female that would want to ruin Barry's life and kill Iris in the process?

Still think it is a version of Barry. It has to be someone that gets put in the speed force and when he went to see Wally in the future, Cisco said he got messed up by what he saw under the mask. Seeing Barry as the one who killed his sister and broke his back would really mess him up. Can't see any other speedster. Unless maybe it is a version of Jessie Quick.

One mystery solved this week. We now know that H.R. isn't going anywhere for at least seven more years.

Or maybe the suit is giving them speed and it's Iris. That's the only other person who would cause Frost to react that way that would make some kind of sense in this time-travel-filled world.

Why would Iris be trying to kill herself? Killer Frost doesn't like the current Barry or Iris, so why would she be ok with helping a different version of them?
