Well, glad they didn't go for the "Season Deleted" ending that some thought.

In the end, Barry had to pay for his mistakes and take it like a man. He'll be back, anyway.

 

[Slayven]

Linda would have saved wally, just saying

 

[TheGreatDirector]

So now Barry's serving his 5 month sentence in the Speed Force?

Watch Iris find someone else.

Earth-1 Hunter Zolomon.

 

[Effect]

Sad ending.

 

[legendaryskitch]

Yeah, Barry has to come back for next season. Kid Flash doesn't have the charisma to run the show

 

[jwk94]

So Barry's prolly gonna be a guest star next season.

So now Barry's serving his 5 month sentence in the Speed Force?

The thread would flip.

 

[Zen Aku]

Wow they literally did everything we predicted.

H.R. dies.
Barry has to sacrifice himself.
Wally has to become Central City protector.
Caitlyn turned good again.


And Iris will become the most amazing marathon Olympian in 10 years.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Huh.... That was one theory we all thought about and they did it.

I wanted it and it just happened. Still not sure how I feel right now.

But.... It's time for our boy, Wally West, to shine!! Kid Flash to the rescue 👌

 

[Maddocks]

I really liked that ending, it was sweet and sad and it didn't erase everything and start new. The speedforce is going to be nice to him at least as they said he is not going be in a living hell. Wonder what is going to happen now, no doubt the speed force prison is turned not into a prison anymore since its not needed so he can freely leave.

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

So -

The Legends broke

Spoiler

time

Supergirl broke

Spoiler

the atmosphere

Barry broke the Speed Force
How is Oliver going to break the world tomorrow night?

 

[AGITΩ]

Hope Season 4 will start with a time skip finding out that the speed force storm caused a bunch of new speedsters around the city, ala Rebirth.

 

[tkscz]

First Samurai Jack now the Flash. Are all finales going to be like this this season?

 

[ShadyK54]

Some great moments this episode. Still scratching my head after that, though. Really eager to see the trailer for the next season already lol.

 

[MikeBreezy92]

Good Episode but it felt sooooo unearned......


Like I genuinely liked the episode but the fact that it took until this point to get clever is frustrating.

I thought we'd have a crisis on infinite Earths to get Barry stuck in the Speedforce though.

 

[Ponn]

But.... It's time for our boy, Wally West, to shine!! Kid Flash to the rescue 👌

We could get some really good stories if they stick with it. Hello Inertia.

 

[JSevere]

well damn... guess this is Wally's show now

give Keiynan that top billing

 

[Zaverious]

I liked the part when the Flash fam were chasing Savitar. Looked pretty cool. The rest was eh. Season 4 should only go up though right?

Yeah. It was a good episode but it wasn't earned.

-

Black Flash = Jobber
Savitar = Jobber
Barry, Jay, Wally = Jobber

Speedsters aren't so scary when they always job :/

I really, REALLY hope the Speed Force gives Barry a new damn suit for next season. He's gotta come back looking badass as hell or I'll.... Probably not flip a table but go on NeoGAF and voice my displeasure!

 

[Vengal]

So... does that mean we're getting another speedster next season. First wave RF shows up pretending to be Barry and wally outs him which causes RF to go evil? I think thats how it worked in the comics can't recall. To the wiki!

 

[TheProdigal]

well damn... guess this is Wally's show now

give Keiynan that top billing

Its wallys show until like 5 minutes into the next ep when barry comes back.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Like some are saying, they might pull a Rebirth. Team Flash is somehow going to forget who Barry is. Barry reaches out to Wally and we get Barry back.

The Speed Force tells Barry that the world needs him, stops the bullshit prison, and let's Barry go. The twist is that the Season 4 villain has erased Barry from the timeline. Nobody knows who Barry is except Wally.

 

[MikeBreezy92]

Just have Wally be his own Flash.



This episode was the perfect "reset" button for the Flash

 

[Johndoey]

I wish this season was terrible. Instead it was just dull as hell and I can already feel a lot of the particulars slipping away from me.

 

[whytemyke]

I'd love it if the credits start next season with Wally doing the voice over and we get a few episodes with no Barry at all.

 

[Spectromixer]

Should even try to understand the speed force prison?
Lol

 

[BLOODED_hands]

I'd love it if the credits start next season with Wally doing the voice over and we get a few episodes with no Barry at all.

It seems like a safe bet that we'll get at least one episode before Barry's return. They're going to try and move it along as fast as possible.

 

[Johndoey]

That would be great. Give us a little time to forgot how garbage Barry is and start to miss him.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

This would be awesome if the actor who plays Wally had the acting Chops or the Charisma.

 

[charpunk]

This. I'm not interested in wally as lead at all.

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

I'm assuming the new villain

Spoiler

DeVoe

is going to try and mess with the Speed Force, and that's how Barry will get out.

 

[Tamanon]

I'm glad that Barry took responsibility. Looks like OG Earth-2 Wells is sticking around for the next season, at least to start.

Poor Joe and Iris though.

 

[MikeBreezy92]

Wally is fun when they actually give him the chance to be. Basically when he was training with Barry and HR.

 

[Mega Man's Electric Sheep]

"Let's save Savitar with the power of FRIENDSHIP"
....20 minutes of time wasting filler later "Aw shit it didn't work, fuck it"
WTF was the point of that?

Character development

 

[ZeroX03]

The Flash S4 |OT| It's no longer me, Barry.

 

[Volimar]

Oh God, they're gonna have months go by and Iris finding someone new or something incredibly CW to put off the wedding aren't they?

 

[TVexperto]

What the eff did I just watch

 

[Dereck]

Are you telling me that that Kamehameha wave that Savitar through in mid-air, disabled two speedsters long enough for them to show up right after Savitar dies?

 

[Mighty Chin]

Glad this season is over that was not a good season.

 

[TVexperto]

So Wally loses his speed whem Savitar loses his memory but not when he ceases to exist? Okay.

 

[Dereck]

.....what?

Killer Frost stays Killer Frost but magically stops being evil, but....

[kidtamagotchi]

Imagine if we get several episodes of Wally as the Flash, but some Big Bad arrives, and the crossover is all about freeing Barry from the prison so he can help stop it!

 

[Magwik]

Well that was a mess.
And the Speedforce prison shouldn't even exist because it didn't exist when Savitar existed.
We had a lot of the season building up to Wally having to save Iris only for Barry to have to only for Barry to fight evil Barry, and the the Speedforce takes Barry away leaving Wally to ascend as the hero, WHICH THE SHOW COMPLETELY FUCKING DROPPED EARLIER IN THE SEASON

 

[TVexperto]

From reddit lol:

 

[NeonBlack]

Imagine if we get several episodes of Wally as the Flash, but some Big Bad arrives, and the crossover is all about freeing Barry from the prison so he can help stop it!

So he can create 10 Savitars somehow? Leave him be


Also, Barry killing Savitar is to far of a line to cross and then Iris shots him dead....

 

[ZeroX03]

HR dying got me crying. Weird cuz I didn't really care if Iris lived or died, but HR is the best. Cool to have Harry back for a while.

I was down with the using the power of friendship plot. It fits The Flash as a show. But then Savitar just didn't want to go along with it? Okay?

Jay is always great.

Not sure what they're doing with Caitlin but it's frustrating.

Hopefully Tom Felton is back next year, I'm still confused as to his status on the show.

I immediately checked outlets to see if there was a 'Grant Gustin exits The Flash' article, and there wasn't. So this whole sacrificing himself to the speed force thing was probably pointless. They won't time skip more than six months. Doing Wally as the new Flash is a great plot that they will 100% drop after the first episode just like Flashpoint. Either go full force with these iconic plots or don't even do them.



I mean it's nowhere near as bad as I thought it could be, but just like the rest of the year it was a bunch of half baked ideas sort of coming together off the charm of the cast. I probably would've preferred they just stuck to the whole Barry is good and friendship part.

 

[WordsintheWater]

How can a show with 23 fucking episodes still feel so damn rushed? Honestly this season was mostly bad, this episode although not bad didn't make for anything. Barry is pretty much the most useless person on this show, I don't think he really does anything except lose. Him paying for all his mistakes is cool, but like everyone else is saying in this thread it feels so unearned. I'm pretty bitter right now haha

The article was by Iris West-Allen so they still get married at some point. The writers wouldn't leave a plot hole like that, right? Right?

But she recorded the video of taking her vows.
