“Borrowing Problems from the Future.” The Flash Season 3, Episode 10. Directed by Millicent Shelton. Written by Grainne Godfree and David Kob.
I enjoy when the DC television shows approach similar themes in the same week.
It’s coincidental, not intentional: Supergirl in its own universe, The Flash in its own universe, and Lucifer on a completely different network have little need to approach the topic of choice at the same time, especially how well-worn that topic is.
Whereas Supergirl looked at the choice to fight or retreat, to change or stay stagnant, and while Lucifer is now questioning whether he had any choice or whether God intervene in his meeting Chloe, The Flash is about fighting the future.
Too bad the episode takes its sweet time getting there.
