Yes, the Future Flash in the comics is evil. Basically what they did is just made that part of Barry into Savitar.

I guess he is evil in the new reboot. Just another reason for me to dislike the new universe.

Yeah, this shit got weird. I guess there's precedent based on the comics, but it just feels sloppy. The Savitar reveal was silly and I didn't feel amazed or astounded, just rolled my eyes and thought "of course he is".
Also, all I could think of when Killer Frost was skating around on an ice bridge was Frozone from The Incredibles. Did she do that in the comics? It seemed kind of stupid.

Iceman was doing it for years before Frozone did it. But yes, one version of Killer Frost does that in the comics.

I think I was the first one to call it that he was future barry. Savitar even repeated the line that first made me think if it. "I am the future flash" I don't think I've ever been right about something like this before. Do I get a certificate in the mail or something? Maybe a cookie?
Well, since barry heals and what we call aging only happens because our cells get damaged and get tired of repairing themselves ... It's not a big leap to say anyone with super healing powers would age very slowly or not at all.

I didn't mind this reveal at all. Wasn't a huge surprise, but seems alright. I like it better than it being some other character like Ronnie. Then again, I'm a huge sucker for time travel, so I look forward to seeing why/how Barry turned into Savitar.

Speedsters age at a slower rate, and can also extend this to their loved ones.

Because it requires better writing and more special effects to create situations where Flash doesn't just wipe the floor with anyone without super speed. Just look at all the Killer Frost in the last few episodes. Mother fucker can move faster than people can think, just run up and punch her in the face, problem solved! Shows painful to watch when he goes up against people with lesser powers.
Making the big bad a speedster makes it easy. Fortunately I think the show runners have said next season's big villain won't be one.

I realize comic books, but this is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. What possible reason could the Speed Force have for allowing itself to be granted to other people solely to extend their lifespan?
I mean, I'm assuming that is what is happening. Otherwise it makes even less sense, because then anyone that heals like Wolverine (but DC) could just wish people lived longer.

The better speedsters control all the molecules they are focused on. They can lend or take speed as they want. Not all of them can do this. Hell, I was reading a comic where one speedster gave himself super strength, and another could create super hard objects made of speed force like a Green Lantern could.
To be real, the higher end speedsters can do almost anything a pre-crisis Superman could, except for fly and live in a vacuum. Hell, the whole "infinite mass punch" where they hit you with the power of a black hole at super speed is no joke. Flash is incredibly OP, and can only be beaten when the writers slow things down. Also, most of his enemies have controllerish powers for a reason. Super speed means nothing when the ground is iced at absolute zero.

Definitely a dumb episode. The amnesia bit was a little predictable but it was nice to see old happy Barry again.
I predict that Future Depressed Barry, heretofore known as Emo Barry, will come back in time to help Brooding Barry defeat Savitar Barry by sacrificing himself since he won't exist anyway if he's defeated. They are playing up the clones and timeline stuff a bit much for it to not be at least a plausible ending.

I gave on this show about midway through the season, it seems I am not missing much. It's sad because it has a great cast, and was so enjoyable in season 1.
My biggest issue is that the "only" plot device they have to move the story forward is Barry doing something dumb, and then having to fix things.
