3x23 Finish Line

What.the.actual.fuck.
"I am the Flash, and I don't exist anymore".
Seriously, what the hell was that? Anyways, I'm not gonna say it was horrible, cause it wasn't. Sure it had some writing issues (aka Speedforce), but it's not the worst I've seen. At least we didn't go back to Barry's house the night his mom got murdered so I'm calling it a win. It wasn't as good as the other two finales, but it was entertaining and we got to see a shot of the three Flash running together which got me too hyped.

Savitar, the God of Speed, a guy who can time travel, who can vibrate his hand through your chest and kill you in a heartbeat, gets downed by a freaking bullet? Like seriously? I couldn't believe it, then I realized he's still Barry and I understood. Bullets and tranq darts got to be Barry's worst enemy.

H.R., I was ready to watch another Wells die. He's the real hero. He fucking sacrificed himself to save Iris. He alone changed the future in just a second. Like he once said, a hero among heros. Drumsticks up for him! And then, everyone was just chilling with his death? He died and they got over it too fast.

Savitar kills Iris everybody: "oh no, you horrible monster. My life is ruined. What do we do now? I'm depressed"
Savitar kills H.R. instead Everybody: "oh it's ok, everything is fine. Don't you worry, we're gonna get you some help". The only person who understood him was Tracy. She was the only one with common sense.

I'm royally pissed off that Black Flash got killed by a single cold blast. Like what the hell, RF has been trying to escape from him for a whole season and he get kaputt like that? No way in hell. And Savitar is defeated by a freaking bullet? For God's sake. RF, one of the smartest people in the multiverse couldn't figure out that freeze was the only thing he needed to survive.

Black Flash getting killed with a single cold blast and Savitar with a bullet was dumb as hell. I guess you can't lock up the darkness, but you can freeze it to death.

And I think I missed something, since when is Wally competent enough to be the Flash? Then again, I realize that Barry wasn't too much competent and it stays the same. So next year Barry has to come back. I guess he'll be out for a couple of episodes while Wally takes on the mantel and his red suit. Now the show's gonna be called "Kid Flash", right? That is, until someone frees Barry. But he going into the Speedforce could potentially create another Savitar. Like I said, messed up.

And when Barry is saying his farewell, I'm sorry but I found it hilarious that they take their time to say goodbye when there are people on the background yelling and dying while the city is being destroyed.

The same when Savitar was about to use the quantum splicer and literally said "We have to hurry" he walks slowly. And immediately before the philosopher's stone exploded and Barry told Wally to get everybody out and he leaves his sister behind. I just found it hilarious. And did Cisco literally call Savitar "Two-face"? No wonders he's angry, sad and needs a hug.

I liked the fact that Caitlin kept her powers. I don't want them gone. I like Killer Frost but I wanted good old Caitlin back so I'm settled for Chilling Frost. Btw, I'm waiting for memes of Caitlin saying "I'm something else".

I can feel the whole season being a big fat "Dammit Barry!"

The episode was a whole mess, especially the beginning and those weird paradoxes. I'm not even going to gestured on that and just state the basics (basically because I don't have enough space to comment on all of them). The whole Speedforce prison, for starters is insane. If Iris lives, Savitar is never born, therefore Barry doesn't ask Tracy for help to build it. Therefore, it doesn't exist once Savitar is erased from existence. So Barry doesn't need to go.

Has anyone else questioned why it took hours for the time paradox to catch up with Savitar when in Season 1 The Reverse Flash just disappeared instantly right after Eddie shot himself? And if the answer is Speedforce, you might as well save it. What happened with Savitar is exactly what happens in Legends, when it takes time for time for fold upon itself, but St least be consistent with your own show.

And what happened to Cisco while he was kidnapped? Did he suddenly forget he can create breaches as he pleases? I guess he just stayed there to build that Speedforce skeleton key and to help Caitlin. And how are they going to explain Barry's absence. He just went to the Himalayas, to find himself. And after messing up with time and fucking it over and over again, he doesn't get hell while in prison. I swear attain moment the Speedforce is just Barry's messed up conscience.

Despite being a mess, the episode had its moments, especially the shot where Barry hijscks Savitar's suit. I've got to admit it, its LEDs turn red was awesome, but his voice was still the same. And then he shatters it, it was kinda awesome.
