Savitar is the original speedster, Dominic Toretto.

In the season finale, Barry has to track down and recruit the only two people capable of stopping him: Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw. It's Flash and the Furious.

How is Wally connected to all of this since he has the most street racing cred? :colbert:

Seriously, it's Wally.
Seeing Ronnie wouldn't make him go catatonic because he doesn't even know who Ronnie is.

This season will end with Barry going back to save his mother again and now the room will have an additional Flash + Savitar in it.

Savitar is an Iris time remnant from a botched attempt by Barry to save Iris from Iris by duplicating Iris.

Barry will have to kill Iris to save Iris.

That's a better theory than Savitar being a time remnant of Barry's mom.

I'm Savitar trying to kill Barry and change the timeline to bring back the real hero speedster, Eobard Thawne. Preferably with the Wells flavor.

I kinda hope it's Ronnie so he can be killed off a, what, fourth time. He's sorta like an inverse Grant Ward.

Who has reason to hate both Barry and Iris, and was last seen speeding away from Central City? Savitar is Patty Spivot.

Oh my god. That would be so amazing. Iris kills a time remnant of herself in order to trick Barry into thinking she's dead. But really she just wants to break up with him, and is terrified of how he'd react to that.

I'm sticking by my guess that it's Jay Garrick not because of the speedforce prison or "The first Speedster" line but since flashdad has a gut now and Savitar is rocking a robot dad bod

I love the idea that it's actually Future Wally because Savitar constantly refers to Wally as Wallace and I get the feeling that Wally just hates being called that. He's just screwing with himself.

It's gonna be Ronnie because the writers can't write surprise reveals for poo poo. Remember when not Jay went to go see Zoloman on earth one and everybody just assumed it was a trick because it had the subtlety of a hammer to the face?

There's those Injustice comics, where they come up with a crazy, super complicated reason for Superman to turn evil, but it would be so easy for the Flash. If Iris dumped Barry he'd just immediately go crazy, fill the STAR Labs building with fifty time remnant Irises and fifty Barry's moms, kill everybody in the pipeline, and declare the Reign of Speedsters.

Or from being shot on those weeks when he forgets he can react to the pressure of the bullet hitting him fast enough to keep it from penetrating.
You know, every week except that one time in season one.

Yea, maybe Barry should steal the suit since Speedforce makes you functionally retarded enough to stand very still jabbering at bad guys for minutes at a time.

I like that Barry's entire plan consisting of running across a courtyard in a certain amount of time while Savitar regular speed stabs Iris without ever thinking about how Savitar could just stab her at super speed if he remembered he has faster speed powers than Barry.

Showdown in the Galaxy Era.

Savitar is literally Greg Berlanti. The last few episodes become unbearably meta, as Berlanti-Savitar wins by writing the plot of Barry's reality that way.

He recruits Killer Frost with an ultimatum: join me and get a spinoff series on Freeform. Refuse, and be killed off in the mid-season finale of Legends. After loving a returned Hawkman in a 4-episode arc.
