"Borrowing Problems from the Future" The Flash Season 3 Episode 10 Back in this Year

"Borrowing Problems from the Future" The Flash Season 3 Episode 10 Back in this Year What can paralyze the Fastest Man Alive? How about doubts because of his knowledge of the future? Time travel can be a real pain in the behind. Not just for TV writers, who have to jump through some logical hoops at times when employing it, but also for heroes like the Flash. When we left him before the winter break, Barry Allen was feeling especially tormented by his first trip to the future. While there, he witnessed the love of his life, Iris West, killed in front of him (two versions of him, to be precise), and all signs point to that tragedy as something that is going to happen. Even some much-needed wisdom imparted by Jay Garrick wasn’t enough to put Barry’s mind at ease, since he isn’t sure whether there is anything he can do to change what he’s seen or not. As we turn the page to the second half of season 3, there’s every reason to think that indecision will affect his actions over the next few episodes. As evidence of that, check out the official synopsis for this week’s new episode, “Borrowing Problems from the Future,” as supplied by The CW: Barry is tormented by his vision of the future where Iris is murdered by Savitar. When a criminal named Plunder (guest star Stephen Huszar) shows up in Central City, Barry recalls the villain’s presence in his vision of the future and fears that if he catches Plunder, it will cement Iris’ fate. Confused about Barry’s hesitation to stop Plunder, Wally decides to step in as Kid Flash. Caitlin offers Julian a job. Guess it’s a good thing Wally got his powers after all, eh? If Barry can’t do his job as the Flash, it’s no good for anyone in Central City, especially since Kid Flash is new to the whole hero gig. Keep an eye on Julian Albert too. The midseason finale cemented the idea that Julian wasn’t responsible for his actions as Doctor Alchemy and was simply a conduit for Savitar. But can he really be trusted when Savitar already revealed that one of the Flash’s team would betray him before it’s all said and done?
