Thanks, SydneyO, here's the tumblr. I hope s/he is telling the truth.

The Iris spicey comment was in response to Barry calling Linda the spice champion on their date. Clearly Captain Kirk isn't impressed by Balinda. Can't say I blame him.

I need to see this Philippine promo for myself before I get overly excited about it.

I only saw it on TV but if I find it on the internet, I’ll definitely post a link. I’m not really sure the network would upload it though. It’s kinda like a Vday promo, telling people to watch The Flash.



"I have a good boyfriend, but I kinda wish he was you."...someone said it could be a flashback to when iris visited barry when he was in a coma. probably not tho..ugh but i would love if it were true. we've been asking for coma Barry flashbacks since episode 1
kinda sounds too good to be true!! I mean would Iris use those words??

i hope its true but i continue with caution

No one knows for sure. If she did utter those words, it's most likely in a flashback scene.

Anyway, the person who saw the promo actually did respond and said she's not sure the network will upload it online but she'll post a link if they do.

I wonder if Ep 15 will reveal that Iris is his "lightning rod." And just so you know, I don't even know what that means but it's supposed to be related to speed force and time travel(?), I think.

From what I understand, it's a figurative term used to describe an emotional attachment that helps speedsters avoid being absorbed by the Speed Force. Iris is that "lightning rod" for Barry (and Linda for Wally in the comics).

This article probably describes it better than I can (it's a pretty good article about the TV show and the mythology around the Speed Force with a quote or two from the EPs):

Quote:
When a speedster (capable of channeling the Force into superpowers) opens the tap to full blast and starts approaching the speed of light, barriers between their physical form and the Speed Force begins to blur. The Force reaches out to the speedster – now almost a being of pure energy – to be re-absorbed. But when riding that narrow line, other abilities emerge.

In keeping with Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity, space and time start to get… fuzzy once lightspeed is approached, when the rift between our notion of the universe and the Speed Force is widest. In layman’s terms, speedsters begin to run backwards through time. But the call to rejoin the source is nearly irresistible – unless, that is, the speedster in question has a human bond willing them to return just as strongly.

It speaks to the romance and warmth at the heart of “The Flash” comic series (faithfully adapted into The Flash TV series) that each speedster to carry the name has had one such loved one – referred to as their ‘lightning rods’ – to act as a homing device. Barry Allen’s has traditionally been his wife Iris West, but the comic hero – like his TV counterpart – has more than a few loved ones and key events to help guide him through the blur of time unleashed when the Speed Force is breached
