The Flash Season 3: 7 Ups And 2 Downs From 'Paradox'
3. Julian
Albert
The CW
Tom Felton’s addition to The Flash was
something that had many viewers excited, and here we got to see Felton debut as
Julian Albert.
It has to be said, Felton seems to be an
absolutely perfect fit for Central City at this stage of the game. We’ve seen
Barry have rivals in love, rivals as The Flash, and people flat-out aiming to destroy
his life, but we’ve not seen any real rivals in the workplace to date. And that’s
where Julian Albert comes into play.
Now, it seems almost too easy to say that
Albert will be the one eventually revealed to be Doctor Alchemy, so we’ll have
to see where that plot point goes. Regardless though, his despising of Barry
made for some fun-yet-blunt exchanges in Paradox, with Barry seemingly up against
a fellow CSI who is every bit his match, if not even one step ahead of him
right now.
Felton has proven time and time again that
he’s great in the role of the slightly snobby know-all villain with a chip on
his shoulder, and this already looks to have been an inspired piece of casting
for The Flash.
