One thing I thought was off was why did Iris need to power the Speedforce exactly? like I get their love thing, but in the comics doesn't Barry basically create the speedforce, like him becoming The Flash is what creates it through all space and time, so why make Iris the creator here? Same thing could be done, it's their love that powers it, Barry is given a spark of his speed back when he is with Iris, which he uses to rebirth the speedforce.
It's still the same thing, except Barry is the one who does it which ties into the comics more as a nice nod, him doing so wakes Iris back up, which you can also then play with as why the Speedforce really died, Iris in the mirror world severed the connection between her and Barry somewhat, the power of their love is what seeded the speedforce through all of eternity, with her displaced in a pocket universe outside of the SF's reach it began to lose power and die from the Spectre's energy because of this, you get all the cliche stuff but one thats more a nod to the comics and just doesn't feel like they did so just to give Iris/Candice something more to do in the episode.
Also makes Iris showing up to the fight more of a suprise if she wakes up from the SF being reawakened and without anyone noticing, then she appears right as Barry is losing to give him back his inspiration as well as the way to help Eva see where she is wrong.
I dunno I do agree though did this need to be stretched to three episodes? and yeah writing off Ralph was weak, but meh whatever, S7 properly starts next week yay.
