Yeah, he was hitting on her while pretending to be someone else. When he accidentally confessed his true feelings for her as Barry he got his friends to say that he had been temporarily insane to make Iris feel bad for him.

I loved how Eddie while initially angry was super cool with it. He was always a good friend to Barry, and Barry would smile and try to get his girl behind his back. Eddie was such a good character, an actual nice guy, not a bully, and just trying to do the right thing whether it was his job or or girl or his friends. They could have taken him a completely different way but I like how they did him, made his sacrifice that more tragic.

For me the main issue was the characters themselves going back and forth without it going anywhere. One character thinks they like the other? Time jump, didn't happen. Now the other is ready to love? I need some space. We both of ready? Tragedy that nullifies it.

Just f'ing commit.

Cisco offered during the crossover to upgrade Ray's suit and he mentioned it last week so that presumably will be coming soon. I was super impressed with the original so I can't wait to see how the new aluminum man suit turns out.

An episode where Charlie Day trys to convince the Arrow cast to do anything, especially sing, is now my favorite thing that should happen but never will.

Really, an Always Sunny/Arrow crossover would be amazing.

But of course we get the standard... "We can't tell [character] the obviously harmful decision we just made that could easily effect them too, because it will hurt their feelings and make them crazy. Lying is the best course of action!"

Grodd just made an energy dampener like they used in the prisoner convoy episode. He made them out of coconuts, I've seen it done before by a Profession, a Skipper, and his little buddy.

It was explained (poorly) that she was the only one who knew where Solovar was. It was not explained how she knew. Maybe Grodd made her hide him on yet another Earth.

Well poo poo that just opens even more questions. Like why would Grodd keep him alive? Especially after they drove it in over and over how it's all life or death when dealing with gorilla politics.

Savitar is that guy with the sound gauntlets, he is really mad they never called him back or mentioned him or acknowledge his existence after the time wraith incident despite seeming to be really good friends at the time.

I was wondering earlier how Flashpoint mixed up Piper's relationship with the gang. They really should revisit it, especially with a musical episode coming up.

Because like half the cast of the CW'verse shows are from Glee, have broadway experience, or can otherwise sing well. That's pretty much where the reasoning begins and ends.

That and the fans were demanding it because of the above. People were very vocal about wanting a musical episode.

That was bothering me all episode, thank goodness for IMDB. I like the actor, he does crazy killer who enjoys himself very well. Well, in these two anyway.

E: oh my god he plays a crazy murderer in Twelve Monkeys too. And he's in Gotham but I haven't watched that, guessing he's a mad killer there too. Man has a gift for that sort of role

He's good in Gotham. Crazy Murderer is definitely his wheelhouse.

Ronnie seems likely to me, Barry did wreck his life, and Frost's reaction would make sense. Killer Frost and evil Firestorm were an item on Earth 2 already.

Still, I hope Savitar is the time remnant Barry created and sacrificed to stop Zoom. If that Barry remnant got absorbed into the speedforce and had to spend months dealing with the annoyingly passive aggressive speedforce spirit he always meets there, he'd probably be pretty pissed off at Barry Prime by now. That would also got with the show's persistent theme of absolutely everything bad being Barry's doing in some way.

My problem with the time remnant idea is that Future Barry would have warned him, "Oh btw, don't create any Remnants to stop Savitar because one becomes him." Instead he just says he don't know who Savitar is.

Well, if it was the time remnant Barry made to defeat Zoom, that was before 2017, so it would be too late to warm him about that one now. Either way, 2024 Barry still might not know that's who Savitar was... Or might just be lying to keep a pointless and harmful secret because that's just how Team Flash always operates.

...but it's probably gonna be Robbie.

That time remnant that he used to defeat Zoom blew up with the multiverse doomsday device. That was kind of the point and mention in that episode, if you make a remnant it has to die or the wraiths come for you.
