The Christmas Episode (ep 9) was really well done - it had equal parts of the Savitar-Alchemy angle and the team bonding. I liked how each character got (kinda) equal screen-space. First time in season 3 I found Wally and the new Wells nice. The nod to the philisopher's stone by Julian took me straight back to HP :D

I wonder who the other 2 people (the one who betrays and the one who gets a life worse than death will be) as revealed by Savitar. I think the betrayer will be Joe. He is super-protective of his kids and if in future Wally or Iris is in danger and he needs to cut a deal or something, he might do that. Though HR too fits the bill since we hardly know much about him. The one who gets a fate worse than death feels like Caitlin. She might turn into KF and that's the worst thing for her. Though as Garrick says, the future keeps changing based on current choices but I still feel they will go by this story-line as it will lead to some unsaid tension among the team members.

Also loved the get together of the team at the West House. I have been a SnowBarry shipper since season 1 but I find myself changing sides :D. I think the writers are going to make Julian and Caitlin bond. Really excited to see that, ever since the ep where Cait as KF abducts him. Also liked the Barry-iris ending scene. It was cute, for a couple, which never evoked any attachment from me.

There were so many scenes in the ep which made me smile. It was a perfect Christmas episode. Sets the mood for the upcoming holidays.

For some reason I don't like the crossovers... It doesn't have a strong storyline. It was fine till Flarrow crossover, but including Legends as well as Supergirl just for the sake of bringing everyone together and making it epic didn't work for me.
Coming to mid season finale, it was good.. some nice revelations and cliffhangers.
Iris getting bumped off being the major one.. However by now as every one knows the future can't be trusted. Till now looking at the future newspaper everyone was sure that Barry and Iris were going to marry each other, but now Savitar showed something else. If they stick to the comics then Iris will be killed for sure, but then I don't think they'll risk the ire of WestAllen fans. So this one's outcome is still to be seen.
Never thought Bramhastra would come into picture in Flash 😆 So Julian is not exactly a bad guy per se. He can still join the gang later on, only if he is not manipulating the team right now..
And yes ErisedWitch45 I agree with the WestAllen part.. This pair never evoked any kind of attachment from me, but this time it made me feel Barry's Love.. Poor Thing... "You are the first thing I wanna see when I wake up" Awww..
I wont root for Julian and Cait as of now coz Julian is still not out of my suspect zone. Don't want Cait's heart to be broken third time in a row..

Yeah, the cross over ep was kinda okay. I had watched Arrow earlier (half of the 1st season) but didn't like it much. So the crossover wasn't very interesting for me. Also didn't like how they kept showing Barry like he was a bad leader or something when he was the one who got the entire team together (esp Supergirl) without whom they wouldn't have been able to break that mind-controlling alien stone thingy.

I understood why Cisco was furious at Barry but why did Diggle and the other heroes start behaving badly with Barry once they found out about him reversing time. It looked very forced. They were hating on him for no apparent reason. But I liked Supergirl. She seemed fun - like a female version of Flash (not ver serious, sometimes clumsy but has a nice, feel-good type personality).

The same kinda storyline happened for Barry's mom, where she is killed by a speedster and he later tries to reverse it. Doesn't look like they'll make him go through the exact problem again. Iris is a ... useless (?) character (strictly my opinion, no offence meant to the fans). She doesn't really bring anything to the table. Even Joe doesn't have any superpower neither is he a core part of Flash team (like Cisco and Cait) yet I don't find him useless. But Iris somehow doesn't make the cut. So let's see how they play that.

Cait has the worst luck among the characters as far as her love life is concerned. I shipped SnowBarry so much. It was one of the reasons why I started watching the show. But I am liking the idea of Julian Cait too. Though you are right, he's still a dicey character. He may still be working for Savitar. More importantly, if he doesn't have any power without the philosopher's stone, I don't see how he'll be useful in the Flash team. I hope they keep him though.

Okay. I have some different opinions.For me, this time actually the cross over was better than the previous ones. But poor Barry had to face the wrath of everyone.
Coming to the Christmas episode, it was really good. Tom was amazing. The scene where Savitar talks through Julian was very well done and it was actually scary. Wally was good(?) I donno. I like wally but I have watched this justice league series and TOTALLY LOVE wally in it. May be that's the reason I'm unable to connect with this Wally. H.R may be less irritating these days but still I don't find any reason to like him. I really want Harry to be back.

Now coming to the prophecy, I think Cisco will be the one who betrays. I donno who's gonna die but it is definitely not going to be iris unless the writers are brave enough to do it. Cait might be the one who suffers a fate worse than death by turning into KF.

I liked Cait and Julian interactions. I would like to see them in a sibling kind of relation since he lost his sister and all. A good friendship would also work for me. But please no romance.

Why is there a Cecile character? Honestly I'm tired of this West house drama.


I don't want to talk about WA.

Exactly, sometimes I miss the setting of season 1... Barry/Flash was so goofy, trying to figure his way out as he learned something new everyday.. The show was light hearted and fun.. but now its so serious most of the time Barry is always sad or upset...

True.. thats what bothers me most about her character.. she just doesn't contribute anything other than being Barry's love interest.. Everybody else's character has got some other side story going on but she has none other than being Barry's support system and what not..😕 I like Iris so would'nt exactly want her character killed off but she needs some story of her own..

Yeah tell me about it... I think they have dropped the idea of SnowBarry now.. In Season 1 we atleast had some hints that writers were willing to take their story the romantic way.. Like episode 12 or episode 19 but since Season 2.. nothing.. nada.. zero scenes.. So lets hope if not Barry she atleast gets a decent romantic interest who wouldnt be bumped off by season finale...
