Tati, can we get a gif of Iris holding the wedding invitation/save the date card? I need to know when the wedding will take place 👀

Not high-def enough, but it looks like November 1…? 17 or 18? Which is not useful, because it’s not a Tuesday. I suppose it could be November 28th, making it the crossover most likely.

If the theory about Iris being hit with the Philosopher’s Stone energy is correct… The stone is made of speed force energy, so maybe Iris being hit with it allows her to be connected to the SF, and therefore allows her to be connected to Barry while he’s in there, maybe without her even realizing at first. In the comics, isn’t she connected to the SF via Barry? This could be the show’s version. (And now I’m thinking of a ‘Ghost’ scenario where Iris can feel Barry’s presence while he’s gone…)

THIS I like a lot. If Iris actually got hit with the stone’s energy, which is calcified speed force, then perhaps she can enter the speed force at will without needing Cisco. And perhaps that would be a way to stretch out Barry’s vacation a teensy bit, because they could “reach” one another despite being separated. 

Not to be a butthead Tati, but are we not going to talk about the fact that Savitar released the Philosopher’s Stones energy into the atmosphere causing a giant speed force storm that will probably be the cause of new metas in S4. Like in the new D.C. Rebirth 👀 The big bad isn’t supposed to be a speedster, but we know they’re moving closer to getting the full Flash family. Maybe Wally will get to mentor a young speedster that comes to him and Iris asking for help with their powers named Bart?

That’s a very interesting point! I absolutely think Bart will show up next year, especially if Barry and Iris get married. I don’t know if the philosopher’s stone is what led to the speed force storm, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it resulted in even more metas.

The Flash 401 “Terminal Velocity”. Picks right back up where we left off. The team is dazed, broken. Their meta human alerts apps start going crazy. Pan to Barry in the SF he’s reviewing his lessons learned with SF Nora. Wally, Vibe+Team ⚡️ are battling the new metas that have come from the speedforce storm. Iris is in danger, Wally’s hurt, everyone else is distracted. Barry comes out of the speedforce, saves her and says the sf was nice, but it’s not where he belongs. It wasn’t Home 😭😭😭

That’s a perfect idea for the premiere! Let’s make it happen.

I think it was announced that the crossover would be in December this year, so if the wedding is November, we should be good on that regard. But if it does happen in the crossover, usually the starter episode has very little actual crossover stuff in it. (In the last 4-way event, only the ending scene of Supergirl tied into the rest of the event. Same with the musical.) So they could have The Flash be part 1 this year (or part 4 and finish the crossover with the wedding).

Where are people getting the December info from? I read November in the THR article, but I’m happy either way. I just want them to get married period, haha.

I think I saw somebody say they thought the card said November 18th or 28th. The 18th is a Saturday, which would work in the traditional sense, and the 28th is a Tuesday, which would work to keep the episode in real time (because that worked so well this season lol). But I also think maybe they intentionally didn’t make it visible, so that they weren’t tying themselves to a day yet, or so that they weren’t revealing it yet. (Like the article having a different name on the byline in early S1.)

You’re probably right that they didn’t want to tie themselves to a date, otherwise Iris would have said it out loud.

Tati, what if we get an incident where Iris is mind controlled by the Thinker (kind of like the Anti-Monitor). Barry comes out of the speed force, and goes to the loft to find her dazed. He kisses her, she comes out of her trance and we get a hug and we get a repeat of the pilot. Iris is stunned, but happy. She asks if he’s ok? He puts his hand on his chest “It’s still beating” 😖😫😩😭

Aw, that would be beautiful! I’m definitely here for that.

My Westallen Babies: Married in their hearts. Iris wanted to be Iris West-Allen and Barry tells her she always will be. Now they just need to make it official.

Right?! They’re precious.

Somewhere Julie Greer is shaking her first: Almost

LMAO! There are other stories she can write.

Do you think the SBs realize how blatant their hypocrisy is? I saw one of them today saying how proud they are of CS for “choosing herself over the team”, a statement which, in and of itself, is kind of ridiculous. And somehow if Iris (the woman who was DYING) so much as considered thinking about herself for even a second, she was selfish.

Funny thing is, I don’t even disagree. Good on Caitlin for choosing herself and going off to figure out who she is without input from the boys. But you’re right about the double standards - Iris can’t even inhale without someone complaining that she’s stealing air from someone else.

SBers+some so-called comic fanboyz have zero comprehension of the narrative. It’s like they watch a totally different show. People are asking for Patty+Eddie back. Really? Iris is the Tornado Twins Mother! And, if Bart didn’t show up, they’d complain about that. They’re rejoicing that WA is over. SMDH. The invitations are in the mail+the team is going to need Barry to help with the metas created by the sf storm. Barry will be back home (with Iris) faster than FP. #IGuaranteeIt

What are they celebrating? If WA were over, it’d only be because Barry is gone lol. Wally would then be the protagonist, Iris would be his right-hand woman and Linda would show up to make Blasian babies. Not to mention that Iris would already be pregnant with the Tornado Twins. I doubt they’d be any happier with that.

Not that it matters, because Barry is coming back like you said, and he will proceed with Iris like always.
