Spoiler Alert:
My head hurts. I'm trying to understand the explanation of Savitar's origin, but it just doesn't work for me. Savitar is Barry Allen's time remnant. Four years into the future, Barry Allen creates several time remnants to try and stop Savitar. So, if this was the case, who was the first Savitar? It couldn't have been the time remnant at the very first instance of Savitar's appearance. The writers could actually use this loophole to create a new storyline of the very first Savitar, and could probably borrow from comic book lore.
And Savitar, is for me, at this point of the show, is technically a speedster suit. So, it doesn't make sense at this point that Barry Allen created it cause Barry, despite being a scientist, isn't exactly a builder like Cisco. It could have been created by some other being, perhaps from some alien dimension. It could also have been created by Cisco and Team Flash, but for what purpose... before falling into the hands of the first Savitar - the one who isn't Barry Allen's time remnant. That way, continuity is established and this whole story line, despite being purely fiction, will sound more logical.
And unlike Arrow, which seems to be nearing the end of the series, there are still a lot of stories to explore in the Flash. We haven't even encountered Max Mercury, and Bart Allen - despite episode 21's attempt at making a pun at the expense of Barry's memory loss. It kind of sucks that the ultimate villain always seems to be a speedster. But I guess all heroes always go against a villainous version of themselves. Which I guess is the comic book world's way of saying that we are our own worst enemy - and it is up to us to make sure that the better version succeeds at the end of the day.
