I'm glad they were smart enough to put Iris on earth 2. Shame HR ran his mouth and ruined it. What I'm saying is that HR would have ruined that plan too.

Also Barry it was hosed up of you not to tell Cisco that Killer Frost freezes his arms off in the future you went to.

Yeah he's constantly getting his rear end kicked when he's super fast but to be fair, the faster Barry gets, the dumber Barry gets so maybe that explains it.

If after this entire season being about Barry needing to accept the past and stop time traveling, Barry refuses to accept Iris' death and and time travels again, and it actually works and he saves her, I'm gonna lose my poo poo

All the NPCs will look up and shout, "Do this quest!"
and I'll whisper, "Sure, why not."
Best case scenario is that Barry kills Savitar and Iris remains dead and Barry finally learns a loving lesson.

VV no that wouldn't work because C L O S E D L O O P*

The going theory online is that he swapped places with Iris via the hologram disguise thingie while Barry was proton packing Savitar and let himself get jacked in her place to redeem himself. Hence why wasn't on the roof this time around.

We'll see next week, I guess.

that makes a lot of sense, and would explain why Barry used the face thing at Argus when he just beat up the guards anyway, it was to remind the audience about it

I hate it though. Barry created this entire situation by loving with time like a moron, and it's guaranteed that he won't learn his lesson because we know Barry is still going to gently caress with time to create Savitar. so if the problem is solved by someone else being clever and self sacrificing, that would be so unsatisfying. It would also give Barry yet another thing to mope about. Jesus loving christ, why can't Barry just be a loving superhero? Why can't he just save the day, do something clever to beat the bad guy, and not leave a bunch of bodies in his wake? Why does everything have to be so miserable and mopey all the time?

That would make a lot of sense and actually put a perfect bow on that arc so of course Iris is going to be super dead and Barry will spend next season bemoaning how he's going to become Savitar somehow.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Its a neat idea but it doesn't really work, does it? How would HR have gotten Iris away from Savitar to make the switch? Like the best I can think of is Jesse showing up to speed it while Savitar was busy with Barry, but that seems like a reach.

I think Iris might be dead. Until she comes back from time or another world.

Because the metahuman dampening is extremely selective, for instance it apparently didn't stop King Shark from growing his hand back...

Could have had Wally take her to Australia. 3000 years in the past. On earth-36. Looking like a completely different person. And not told anyone.

That was really aggressively stupid.

This was great, he just ran in, kept the bad side of his face away from the team for like 3 seconds, and is immediately told where Iris is. I imagine he planned to zoom in and torture them all into giving up Iris or something, and was kinda disappointed he got it so easily.

That reminds me, why did they tell either Barry where Iris was? I thought they had already worked out that they had to keep it from Barry because Savitar would know everything he'd know. Was this just the writers needing to get Savitar to Iris and jamming in the first scene they thought of?

Cool that Savitar keeps an extra old flash costume around. Crawled right out of the speedforce with his suitcase packed, it appears.
