    This was early in the episode where the girl first starts turning into Frost, there is a giant monster running around the city and Cisco asks Flash over the phone if it is big like in Yao Ming big, lol.

    The show is coasting right now.
    Not bad . .. but not the excitement from the first seasons.

    Not overly fond of the new HR

    Typical CW bullcrap is why. If Barry didn't give his speed away it would have made the show so much better, just watching him crush zoom.

    If it has to be someone we have seen before
    So I am guessing either The Original Firestorm
    or the original HR
    or An insane Zoom

    I have been predicting that the bad guy was future Barry since season 1. Will I be finally correct?.....

    But that doesn't make sense, why would he kill Iris? The love of his life?

    Agents of Shield has surpassed this show . . .. second only to LEGION.

    I wonder will we ever get Barry's advanced ridiculous powers.
    Abilities granted by Speed Force[edit]
    [​IMG]
    The "infinite Mass Punch" from JLA #3 (March 1997). Art by Howard Porter and John Dell.
    The Speed Force serves as the ultimate measure of velocity in the DC Universe. It introduced several "new" powers/implications to Flash and other Speed Force-powered persons. Some already existed during the Silver Age, but were either unexplained or rationalized as molecular/vibrational control and later retconned into manifestations of the Speed Force.

    • Infinite Mass Punch – Introduced in Grant Morrison's JLA title. Flash (Wally West), traveling near the speed of light acquired the relativistic mass of such speed to impart blows which could hit with the mass of "a white dwarf star," enabling him to knock down such powerful foes as the White Martians with a single punch. Flash's own durability is regulated by the Speed Force in such cases. Therefore, this means that Flash because of the Speed Force traveling at the speed of light acquires a relativistic mass to impart shocks that could hit with a mass comparable to an infinite mass and then also infinite damage.
    • Speed lend/steal – Perhaps his most versatile new power. Because the Speed Force governed all motion, Wally could rob objects of their kinetic energy, motion, or momentum (e.g., bullets in flight or turning a supervillain into a statue) and use the energy to accelerate himself even faster. He could similarly lend speed to inanimate objects or allies, enabling them to temporarily travel nearly as fast as himself. Bart Allen's future self is shown to also have this ability in the Teen Titans Titans Tomorrow story arc. In new 52 users can slow their own atomic motion to make themselves harder than steel and grant themselves incredible strength, even slowing down the molecular speed in matter to make it unbreakable like the air itself.
    • Metabolize wounds – Accelerating his healing factor while using the Speed Force to sustain him, Wally could heal from grievous injury without prematurely aging like his counterpart from another reality, Walter West. Related to the ability above, he would serve as the "team medic," healing other team members by accelerating their healing factors (without prematurely aging them).[volume & issue needed]
    • Constructs – Wally discovered that if he concentrated, the Speed Force could be used to create solid constructs. The first time he used this ability was to create a solid armor enabling him to run despite having broken legs. Later examples included sealing up the openings of his costume against disease, creating pockets for holding things, etc. In JLA, when shot by Prometheus, his suit displayed bullet-resistant properties.[volume & issue needed] Most recently, it was used to repair the damage done to the various speedsters' costumes, allowing Wally to change his uniform; Jesse Quick to take up the uniform of her father, Johnny Quick; and Wally's daughter, Iris, to become the new Impulse.[10]
    • Shield – Exhibited by Savitar, whose mastery of the Speed Force allowed him to reflect objects away from himself.
    • Flight – Exhibited by Johnny Quick and his daughter, Jesse Quick; the only speedsters known to exhibit this ability. However, all speedsters traveling faster than escape-velocity exhibit "inverse flight". The ability of flight also seems to manifest itself in the flash of the Kingdom Come story arc.
    • ESP – Exhibited by Max Mercury, whose communion with the Speed Force allows him to detect the motion of any object in the world, and especially to perceive other speedsters. Wally West exhibited a similar ability which allowed him to perceive Linda across time and space due to the strength of their bond.
    • Total recall – Exhibited by Bart Allen, who can retain everything he speed-reads (in contrast to other speedsters, who only retain the information temporarily).
    • Speed scouts – Exhibited by Bart Allen, who can create Speed Force-duplicates of himself that, due to the timeless nature of the Speed Force, can travel forwards and backwards through time. They can also manipulate objects or merge their consciousness with Bart, informing him of their actions. However, after one of his Speed Scouts was killed, Bart was thrown into a coma and hasn't used the ability since.
    • Super-Speed – Traveling at any speed one believes they can move at.
    • Negate Anti-Life Equation – Not yet explained, but it is seen in Final Crisis #4 when Barry Allen kissed his wife, who was under the control of Anti-Life, and the Speed Force surrounded her and she regained her free will.[11]
    • Muscle growth – Exhibited by Jai West, who has the power to speed up the growth of his muscles, temporarily giving him super strength, but causing him to be exhausted after a short time.
    • Intangibility/Self-molecular control – Exhibited by Barry Allen, Bart Allen, and Iris West. Their total control of kinetic energy at a molecular level allows them to match the vibrational frequency needed to travel easily into and through solid matter. Wally West has this ability, too, but with less control, so solid matter usually explodes when coming in contact with him. When Bart Allen internalized the Speed Force into himself, he too showed difficulty with this ability, melting matter if not concentrating enough. Iris' control is as effortless as Barry's, but unlike his, it is somewhat unstable. As an offensive ability, it can be used to scramble one's molecular structure to the point of literal disintegration.[12]
    Despite its immense power, the Speed Force did not prove to be an asset when Wally West was pitted against Brother Grimm, a sorcerer with the power to sense other dimensions; as well as being able to find the regular universe from his pocket dimension, Grimm can also sense the energies of the Speed Force, with the result that Wally must restrict himself to normal speed when fighting Grimm or Grimm will be able to sense his moves and counter them.

    I need some help with the last episode
    QUESTION: Why does Barry and Savitar losing their memories. . . . .. mean Wally loses his powers?

    Beyond it being a mere plot device. . ..

    Basically if Barry lost his memories and never got them back, there would be no Savatar which means that Savatar couldn't have ever given Wally his powers and that's why they are saying he lost them while Barry lost his memories.

    I think the idea was that Killer Frost got her power as an unintended consequence of Flashpoint rather than from Savatar, but I was asking exactly the same question too.
