I don't think it's been confirmed that she has a dad

It's possible she was conceived by the midichlorians.

You're right! She was probably artificially gestated and born from a goat. That seems more likely.

Scientists have made a mouse with two moms and no dad. It would be a neat twist if Katlyn had no dad.

Plus that would make the show involve science again. Right now the lab setting is just to explain how Barry gets a thing that defeats the bad guy without him having to do anything clever.

I wouldn't be surprised if they pull some stupid poo poo and don't show us Savitar. Even though by now the mystery is so long drawn out that it has no real impact.

Savitar is the Smoke Monster? Though that makes complete sense.

I really hope Savitar keeps revealing himself as different people then the last one is future Barry and everyone gasps until he finally is just like "haha naw I'm just a speed force entity, I travel through time that's how I know everything dumbasses".That seems like the best possible outcome to undercut the whole "we need to know the speed villain's true identity!" repetitive bullshit.

Savitar should take his (or her) mask off but his (or her) face is always hidden by some cunningly positioned piece of scenery, and all the characters react but never actually use his (or her) real name.

So, bit of a neat coincidence: The MMO Guild Wars 2 just released one of their in-game story events today named Flashpoint, wherein a villain's true identity is a revealed.

We never met Jesse's mom either, it doesn't mean Wells grew her in a test tube.

I don't think they did a terrible job with the pacing on this one. They managed to delay it/misdirect it in the first half of the season with Alchemy/Julian and the Wally stuff.

Flash would probably be better served doing their season in thirds rather than halves since there so much redundancy in "this season's evil speedster" but I think this has gone better than Zoom.

she had tiny Italian boobs.
Well that's my story.

so did Caitlyn go after Tracy in the original timeline? Or did Barry's trip to the future change the present?

or did Savitar go to the future, too, and see how he's defeated?

I wish they'd at least have a throw-away about Caitlyn being too cold to touch or something to explain why Flash can't just punch her.

Somehow, the boy just isn't very buoyant.
Kinda had a feeling they were shooting for the Out of Time comic storyline when we saw the image of the stuntman and Savitar had a silver lightning bolt on his chest.

More amused that I came into my office to a text from my mother that just said "Booooooorrrriiiiiiiinnnnnnnnng."

I'm telling ya, it should have been Iris :mad:

Yeah, they went with the obvious one, but it's also the most interesting one from a "okay, now how do they solve this poo poo?" perspective. I'm kind of hoping that the answer is Barry just going, "Okay, guys, I've figured out how to stop Savitar. I'm gonna :therapy:" and then Savitar just fades screaming from existence because Barry becomes emotionally stable so he was never created.

Next episode looks like it's gonna be funny as hell though.
