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

I suggested this a month ago and it's still the most likely solution since they keep failing to change the future.

Yeah, for the myriad of things Heroes did wrong (chief among them being "outliving Kings"), it at least made sure that Hiro Nakamura was canonically a fan of Chrono Trigger, the only time travel story that matters :colbert:

I fully expect Barry to change time again so he and Iris aren't together anymore.

I loving hope so. It's the most cringe-worthy relationship ever. It's also one-sided as hell, where Barry is the one who always does the heavy lifting by going out of his way to cook breakfast, decorate the house in candles and flowers, etc. etc. and of course Iris "rewards" him with a kiss. Ugh.

I want Iris to contribute something to the team. You know, something other than the occasional pep-talk. Back in Season 1 they played around with the idea of her being a kickass investigative reporter, and Season 2 even started with a scene where she was literally dodging bullets from bad guys, but this season she has been a lame damsel in distress whose only job is to be Barry's SO. :sad:

I miss Patty and Linda. They were both cool as hell, and Patty especially was a real badass in her own right.

If I remember correctly, that was because she signed on with another show and the writers had to somewhat hastily write her off. Many of us in this thread commented on it.

She and Barry had excellent chemistry though. Like she was this dork who had a huge crush on Barry because he was a super-dork and she played that role really, really well.

Oh. I wasn't aware of the background details regarding her departure, so it just came off to me like they just wrapped up her storyline and then she hilariously high-tailed it from the show for no reason. You're right though, I remember thinking her and Barry had way better chemistry than Iris ever did with him.

I just remember when she left so suddenly going "oh, well, that was an absolute waste of half an otherwise decent season." So yeah that does clear a few things up.

At least they somewhat acknowledged Barry's overbearing behavior lately, he's trying to compress their entire relationship into a few months because he's all neurotic about Iris probably dying. She called him on it and told him to back off and give her some space, it's something. (Of course a syrupy tru-wuv-conquers-all resolution is probably coming at the end of the season :barf: )

Wally is literally the worst. He went a couple episodes without being literally the whiniest baby in the universe, but then he made up for that in spades this episode. It's like he couldn't contain anymore pent up whininess and just exploded. I was happy when it looked like Savitar killed him, but then it turns out he's still alive and I became sad

I wonder how a normal person would ever feel like an equal to a super powered person. Of course breakfast is done, it takes him the blink of an eye. Decorating would take her all day, and he'd probably stop in at home during breaks at work. If I'm dating a speedster you're drat right you're bringing food home and it better be pizza from motherfucking Venice.

You meant Naples right? I mean if you're going to run all the way to Italy to get pizza you might as well get it from the part of Italy it's from, otherwise you'll be getting lovely tourist pizza.

I'm pretty sure there's good pizza in Venice. I don't think the entire city of Venice is conspiring to only eat bad pizza forever as some weird conspiracy to trick foreigners into eating bad pizza too.

Things are different in Europe. Cuisine is highly region specific. Venice and Naples might as well be different countries.

You think Iris can tell the difference between Venice and Naples pizza? Like she's jet-setting around and trying local European cuisines on the 37 dollars a month she got in her blog's tip jar. Barry probably just ran to the other side of Central City and got the pizza there.

I'm pretty sure 90% of Venice is just tourist trap garbage food and Barry will just forget about Oliver's advice to case the city first to find all the good places to go before running in

Okay, but at the end of episode 14 Jesse also made Wally go out and get burgers, and this is despite the fact that they both have superpowers.

So the show clearly has a theme of guys treating their girlfriends like princesses.
