I don't think it's legal to hold people prisoner just because they happen to be foreign.

And then she was recaptured and sent back, wasn't she?

1) I was entirely joking.
2) I imagine inter-dimensional rights aren't covered in any world treaty so it would probably be a crime without a law. Supergirl's President Wonder Woman would almost certainly be a fighter for it, though.

How does this alternate reality square with the Music Meister headline we saw?

All the headline says is "Music Meister gets six figure deal". That implies he's a public figure but not necessarily a publicly known villain or anything. There could even be a deal where like he's a villain on Supergirl's Earth and a regular artist on Flash's or something. Who knows?

I'm not opposed to "it was all a dream" style stuff since we the audience still get to see the cool wacky stuff so this sounds good to me. Like I don't need it to necessarily be canon that Jesse L Martin belts out a sick solo about being the Flash's father as long as it happens on my TV screen

If Milo Yiannopolis can get (and lose) a six-figure book deal for just for being a complete rear end in a top hat to random people on the Internet, I'm pretty sure any given actual super villain in the Arrowverse could swing one too if they wanted one :v:

In my eyes there is a massive difference between "it was a dream" and "shared experience between 2 people in their minds"

For anyone who watched the preview for the next episode, what are your thoughts on what Savitar wants with Wally? What's he using him for?

I think it has to do with Wally getting his powers from Alchemy+Savitar. It's kind of been a pattern that people who got their powers from them can be prone to mental instability. Savitar must be tapping into that. And I imagine he wants someone who can free him from the speed force.

Yeah, that's the most natural conclusion. Wally has a tie to Savitar both through the speed force and through Alchemy. So if Savitar is looking for back door out of the speed force Wally's the most obvious link.

Btw, they have done a much better job of having Savitar being a bad guy than Zoom last season. Like, being a Meta-Tempter is a cool concept.

Wally getting sucked into the Speedforce was pretty cool. From the last time we saw Savitar it seemed like he extraordinarily outclassed Barry in terms of speed and now Barry's able to throw haymakers without Savitar seeing that coming? A little far-fetched, and the whole "You all fell into my trap perfectly" gimmick was pretty underwhelming, but I'm starting to actually like Savitar now, even though all of this would be much better with a shirtless, goateed man.

As of this episode they're using a physical suit that they CGI in post. It looks a lot better honestly.
