Do you really want an episode of Barry deciding to kill himself only to get talked out of it by his speedforce mom?
Not really just making fun of the time travel logic
Nope.

Makes sense Barry would like DBZ given him being an idiot, blatant disregard for people in other universes, putting his friends/allies in danger with his actions, time traveling shenanigans, and helping give birth to his own Black Goku in the form of Savitar Barry who ends up killing his significant other. It's like his bible to dealing with all his problems.
Wonder why they're calling Stone Cold Heatmonger?

Better lineup:
Red Ranger - Barry
Black Ranger - Firestorm
Yellow Ranger - Sara
Pink Ranger - Supergirl
Blue Ranger - Atom
Green Ranger - Oliver
Bulk and Skull - Snart and Rory
2 episodes left and we are still doing filler crap where they do stuff only for them to press the reset button at the end.
If you don't want Barry to know then just don't tell him shit, a Savitar who doesn't know stuff can be taken down by Wally and Jesse anyway. Plus there's Cisco and Supergirl but they won't have her join Flash for his season finale.
Also why can't they just put a bracelet on Caitlin using super speed lol

Don't have to be an idiot to put Savitar mystery indentity and thread title together.
Dude, what are you doing, Legends is amazing.

Wait, why?
That was waaaaaaay better than I was expecting.
If you're going to bet on a speedster, why would you ever pick Barry over Eobard?
hehe, just like a porno I saw last week.
Barry created time remnants to help in the fight against savitar all of them except IIRc one died and went crazy and then went back in time creating a legend of Savitar and technically being the"first" speedster. He essential wants to ensure a stable time loop.
At some point in an original future timeline future Barry gets desperate enough to fling alot of remnants at some big bad. All die but one. Team flash is very mean to that surviving remnant for some reason and it eventually becomes Savitar. Goes on time travel adventures spreading the good name of Savitar throughout the ages creating acolytes all over time.
That's how I'm taking all this, then you add in than, flashpoint, zoom, lefends and others messing with the timeline and things are hard to follow.
I think boiling it down to savitar went to speed force school and figured out a specific trigger which would make Barry behave in a way that creates a remnant that becomes savitar. So savitar is just trying to ensure that happens.
I completely agree with you, the episode was very good though and while it's a bummer they made it late, I still think it people shouldn't bee to bullish on it. Next episode looks ace, King Fucking Shark!

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Barry made time remnants to fight Savitar.
Savitar kills all but 1. That 1 is shunned by team Flash because it's just a copy of The Flash, not the original one, so it starts getting angry and upset and becomes Savitar.
Savitar travels back and forth in time to create his "god of speed" myth, somehow gets a super cool future suit, goes back and terrorizes team Flash, which after 4 years of fighting and losses has Barry start making time remnants to fight Savitar .. rinse and repeat.
His (Savitar's) original appearance, the beginning of the loop, can be attributed to Flashpoint I guess. Basically:
i got a boner from seeing stephen as the green ranger
i can't explain why, i just did

The group rejecting and shunning a surviving time remnant seems really out of character
They kinda already did it this episode, every time carefully mentioning that Savitar isnt really Barry.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Anyone who has come in here upset about spoilers in the thread title has been doing it for the sake of imaginary people.
Who exactly is your hypothetical person that knows enough about Savitar to be spoiled by "It was me, Barry," a thing actually said by the Reverse Flash about an unrelated thing. What level of knowledge about the show do they have?
A person who has seen none of this season isn't spoiled. A person who even hasn't seen the last two episodes isn't spoiled unless they already believed Barry was Savitar by that point.
This hypothetical person actually has more reason to believe that Savitar is HR or another Wells/Eobard based off the thread title.
.................... wait why haven't they attack savitar if they know he exists isn't he breaking their rules
You played yourself

That and the time remnant was probably summoned in a post-cisco-loosing arms and possibly post-wally-trauma time, when the team exhausted all of their options, Barry probably started making remnants thinking more of him will get the job done.
I imagine the whole team is pretty much mentally fucked by that point and seeing the remnants not able to do anything had them all frustrated.
Popular theory is the speed force is allowing this to punish Barry for his transgressions.

So if Barry doesn't create a Time Remnant / Savitar during the ultimate fight.. would Wally lose his powers? Since as this episode pointed out, no Savitar no Kid Flash.
Barry: Why don't I just kill myself?
Savitar: The rules don't apply to us time abusers, it wouldn't affect me.
*episode goes on to kill Savitar's memories by killing Barry's memories*

Have Barry put himself in the Speed Force Trap and let Jay out to fight Savitar. At least at that point, Savitar won't be able to use his memory to stop the team.

The Speed Force will get mad at Barry for doing that though.
... Man Speed Force really is the best plot device. Not only does it let you break whatever physics or time shenanigans, but it will even personify itself to tell Barry what to do because reasons.
Like our Barry, Savibarry doesn't care about anything other than Earth-1.

Kind of weird that this of all episodes garners such a high score, but damn, I guess like Iris, pretty much all of us really wanted a happier Barry (Bart) to grace our screens again lol

The plot is so fucked, I gave up trying to make sense of it.
Sorry but when someone tells me not to get something wet, I'm thinking don't dunk it in water. I'm not worried that a bead of sweat is going to destroy the thing. The court scene was pretty funny though so I'll give that a pass. xD
Just hope HR waterproofs the speed bazooka before they turn it on.

How could they possibly make this season worse?
