- TriviaThe only episode that Tobin Bell is finally credited as voicing Savitar.
- GoofsJulian mentions an earthquake measured on the Richter Scale. Scientists haven't used this scale for decades, the correct use would have been on the Moment Magnitude Scale. However, the Richter Scale is more commonly used by the general public, and Julian is a forensic expert rather than a geologist, which would explain his usage of the more familiar term.
- Quotes
Savitar: Do it! You kill me, and you become me. Either way, I live.
[Barry vibrates Savitar's suit apart]
Barry Allen: I'll never let the pain, the darkness, determine who I am. I will never be you.
[Barry punches him]

Featured review
A disappointing, cheat of an episode.
So, you show an amazing teaser - touching, melancholic, and set to wonderful music The hero is totally down and out. The audience feels it. And you describe the episode like so - With nothing left to lose, Barry takes on savitar. And then, 30 seconds into the episode shits on the teaser, and cheats everyone who wanted to see what they saw in the teaser.
There's a good way to surprise, and there's cheating. I couldn't possibly mention the word cheat enough. Yes, I expected the obvious "twist", but I really hoped they would be more honest with the story telling. What was with the "invitation" in the climax, instead of punishment for everything he'd done until then? Nothing made sense emotionally. Captain cold's advise couldn't possibly have mattered less ultimately, and I really wanted it to be that kind of a finale, an honest one.
To their credit, they explained the time stuff reasonably well. The finale was well executed in terms of visuals, and Savitar's plan. The dialogues in episode 9, and 15, and the ones about the stone/husks made so much more sense after you come to know the Savitar reveal. On rewatching the season a little while ago, I felt they had planned this season quite well, unlike season 2. So, Zoom can create so many time remnants, even kill them just like that, but he needs Barry to provide enough energy to the pulsar? What a load of bull.
But, as much as this finale made tried to make fans happy, it just failed miserably. It was passable, but not the touching, emotionally fulfilling conclusion the teaser promised us. Also writers, and this is really important, if you have 3 speedsters against 1 villain, don't make just one fight him ! It's so lame to even think of reasons to temporarily handicap them.
A disappointing end to an IMPORTANT, interesting enough season of The Flash. If you don't feel the way I feel, watch the 3x23 teaser again, and you will feel how I do.
