Finally, Savitar is revealed and he is... Future Flash, like I thought he would be ever since the mid-season finale. It will probably not come as a huge surprise to that many given how many hints we were given throughout the season but that didn't stop the scene where Savitar reveals himself from being totally awesome. (I mean, the music in that scene was epic!)
Team Flash goes looking for Tracy Brand who supposedly created or rather will create a speed force prison. They're not alone in this interest as Savitar sends Killer Frost (with her great outfit) to kill Tracy before she manages to help Team Flash. This leads to a cool battle where Killer Frost uses her ice to sort of fly around throughout the city. I love it when villains find new ways to use their powers and this offered a really cool action scene that I hope we will get more of in the next season. Because I'm hoping they won't cure Killer Frost just yet because that would be a waste of the transformation this season. So far she hasn't even earned the name Killer Frost, I fear that the first person she will kill is Julian which would be unfortunate because Tom Felton has been doing a great job on the show during this season. At the very least they could make the scene where he dies a memorable one.
Meanwhile we get to see Joe and Cecile's relationship develop but it feels a bit frustrating to watch when you know Savitar will be revealed in this episode. However, I liked that she became integrated with the rest of the Flash Family.
Tracy Brand is quite likable, she appears to be the replacement for Caitlin but also a replacement for Harry from last season. One could say Julian is a replacement for Caitlin as well so that's why he could be staying after this season but I doubt it. Tracy and H.R. seem like an obvious pairing which will be probably be explored next season, no objections there 'cause H.R. is fun.
All in all this was a great episode with cool Killer Frost action, a not so surprising Savitar reveal but it was still a good scene. What remains to be revealed is why future Barry kills Iris. Why does he have a scar on the right side of his face? Questions for next week which I hope they will answer. We still have to reveal Savitar's identity to the rest of Team Flash and see their reactions. Will they see Barry in a different way from now on? Who knows, time will tell.
List of hints we got of Savitar's identity this season:
Ep 1: Reverse-Flash calls Barry the villain Ep 2: Jay tells Barry they're both men, not gods Ep 7: Savitar tells Barry that Barry's the past whereas Savitar is the future Ep 8: Barry from 2056 tells Rip Hunter that he should not trust Barry Ep 9: Savitar says one will suffer a fate worse than death, Barry gets trapped in the speed force and becomes Savitar Ep 15: Savitar said he created himself which means Savitar might be working on making Barry in to Savitar and Savitar keeps repeating "I am the Future Flash!" Ep 16: Savitar tells Jesse Quick that he has already lived all of this
