The framing device of contemporary Barry having to confront future Barry and set him back on the path of the righteous definitely has a couple of psychological implications that are potentially very revealing about him as a character. Not only does he not exist in the way that we traditionally think of him-he doesn’t exist at all! Like the first time we got a chance to visit Earth-2 along with Barry Allen, the bulk of the episode takes place in one possible future and the Flash no longer exists. The title of tonight’s episode, “The Once and Future Flash,” is not only a nice allusion to one of the greatest pieces of Arthurian legend literature ever written, but it carries a lot of weight where the plot of the episode is concerned.
