Yeah, that was really weird. When he asked why Barry didn't do it, I expected the answer to just be "because it's 2017".

They were trying to hint that Barry asked because he didn't really think it through beyond "Iris wasn't wearing a ring!" but it failed on every level.

In Barry's vision they weren't being pelted by golfball-sized hail. Maybe they should give their old friend the Weather Wizard a call.

Barry has changed, he no longer messes with time unless it's someone he loves and not the brother of the dude he kinda hangs out with. I fully expect Barry to change time again so he and Iris aren't together anymore.

So I watched last night (Tuesday is trivia nights) and while some of it was cheesy the mystery this season has been considerably better than last season but I am still concerned that they will gently caress it up. The Barry theory seems the best so far, but they are doing a decent enough job setting up the other suspects (Wally being trapped in the SF and going insane, Julian being forced to channel Savitar repeatedly and also going insane). I just hope it is not a dumb twist like it being Jay or Wells again.

They said something about him being able to get out but always being pulled back in. It's why he was never around for long.

I think they shouldn't drag out a potential conflict this long because the more time we have to consider the issue, the stupider the cast looks.

How about some of those anti-speedster devices from General BadGuy installed under the tiles around where Savitar was holding Iris? Or any one of 100 different things that would actually do something when you know the exact moment and placement of your enemy with months to prepare.

Nope, let's stop the taco truck across the street from serving Ceviche, the menu placard will be different on the night of the attack saving Iris! Good job everyone. Now it's time to change the watering schedule of the sprinkler system so the shrubbery will be a little less green saving Iris. Wally people are telling me to run faster but you need to run even faster. Jessie you are obsessed with a wedding ring and will be of no help.

Quick everyone, if we run on the polar ice caps at exactly the right time we can change the air humidity on that day in Central City from 55% to 60% saving Iris.

It would actually be compelling if they were trying common sense ways to fight Savitar then going to the future and seeing Savitar defeat everything they try no matter what they do. So Barry getting desperate and trying the proposal would make more sense, instead of that being his Plan A while shrugging and saying he isn't going to bother checking what happens in the future now that he has tried like two things that nobody even understands what doing them meant.

Savitar does both. In the vision he called him Wallace. To Barry in the real world he only called him Wallace. That may be a clue. Are they from different times? Is vision and physical not the same being? Are the writers just consistently inconsistent?

Who knows what else is in there since that seems to be Barry's garbage can where he throws most things he doesn't want to deal with.

Ageless immortal plates of Joe's cooking could be scattered in the speedforce like mines.

If you love Iris so much you giant dork just create a bunch of time remnant Barrys and dogpile savitar and kill him.

Or create a time remnant Iris and let savitar kill her.

I'm not believing the whole "THE FLASH DOESN'T KILL" thing since he could have solved all of his problems by reverse flashing Savitar instead of chopping his sword in two and he has killed many times before without hesitation.

Savitar can't kill Iris if Barry kills her first, thus changing the future! He can then trade her for the way more interesting E2 version.
