This. Also let Jeremy Jordan, Jessie L. Martin, & Melissa Benoist sing more often.

Best episode of the season by a huge margin.
Um, you know that Gotham gets significantly better ratings than Supergirl/Arrow/LoT and is slightly ahead of Flash for the current season right?

Now I need to find a female Theatre friend who's willing to do Super Friend with me for an audition or a competition.
Wasn't that the implication. Even if it isn't that's my headcannon
Don't get too cutesy, roll solo with that Runnin' Home To You

Everything sounded weird with Barry and Kara singing. Everyone else sounded like they were actually singing, but for some reason for those two's singing sounded weird and fake, haha.
I know they can both sing, so it was really weird.

That was a fun episode. The ADR was atrocious though.
it's the over dub. needed some better balancing
Kara sounded a bit post-processed in "Moon River" but it could have just been the recording. Victor Garber's wobble was the most distracting part of the singing, for me.
I was already gonna do that if I couldn't find a duet. But yeah, Runnin' Home to You seems like the safest bet that I can do solo for my next audition.

That was a cute episode. The resolution was super cheesy but it gets a pass since most musicals are cheesy. At least we got some singing from the theater folks in the casts, which was nice.

I've been down on this season a lot lately but that was like a top 3 episode of the whole series. The best of all the crossover episodes too tbh.
Did this remind anyone else of the Star Trek: TNG Q episodes? Darren Criss was basically like Q.
Sappy and schmaltzy stuff in here but I'm a sucker for all that, I'm actually glad they resolved the relationship and had him propose like this. Much better ending the musical episode with this than a regular one. And the super friends song was so good haha.
edit: honestly I'd be down for Music Meister to come through once a season (or every second season) in all the DCW shows and put the characters through some sort of fantasy reality. doesn't always have to be a musical unless he works with the flash crew since they can sing. Like throw Oliver Queen in the Sherwood Forest and be Robin Hood lol, this is a fun gimmick going the star trek q route.

Has Malcolm Merlyn ever been on an episode of The Flash before this one? Have him and Barry ever even met before?
He's the most out of place of all the characters and if it's true that his agent just asked for him to be in the crossover then that's incredible and I love it.

He was in last year's crossover and facilitated the meeting with Savage. So yes, Barry has met him.
But the agent thing is true, go check his live stream from today.

Ok that was really good.
Cheezy as fuck...
But I think I needed some good-feels camp.
Great episode.

YES!!!
It made for a perfect combination: Sexist father that thinks his daughter can't make decisions, father that calls his daughter a time aberration, and Malcolm, the doting father figure to the son of his best friend.

Ah gotcha, forgot about that. I think I just purged everything involving the Hawks from my mind.
And yes his inclusion fit in perfectly. I'd love to see them swap characters between shows more often.

I was actually surprised that there were less songs than I expected. Way more normal plot than I would have guessed. Not that I think it would have been better.

Yeah, relationship fixes for Barry and Kara. Which honestly is a little odd that they'd use a crossover musical episode to resolve both show's current relationship drama.

Damn, I totally forgot the show hadn't touched Abra Kadabra yet. Hilarious coming from DCUO where he's used in like every Flash DLC.
Sweet no need to watch this trash then thanks
TRASH?!
I don't even like musicals and I was grinning like an idiot the whole time
Mostly because of Melissa Benoist and Jessie L. Martin
He ain't in it that much
Thank you!!!
Big musical theatre geek here and I loved it. Five years ago could I ever have dreamed that we'd be getting a musical episode of a live action adaptation of The Flash. It's like a crossover made in heaven for me.
Heaps of sappy cheese, a lot of fun meta moments, and Barry/Iris is restored to its former glory after that atrocious break-up in the previous episode. Looking back on it now it feels like they set that up just so he could redeem himself in a musical episode and give the show the proposal scene that it deserved. Only a song could have saved their relationship, and it fucking did.
So glad the talent in these casts finally get a chance to shine. Barrowman. Martin. Garber. Jeremy Jordan. Darren Criss was loving every second of it, I love how he just peaced the fuck out at the end of the episode after fixing the relationship drama. And we got a couple of pretty good original songs from it too.
What's that? You want every official track from the episode? Remember, I'm always one step ahead.

You & me both, man.
That said, Bayonetta 2 still holds the crown for best rendition of Moon River that isn't the original. Melissa came very close, though.

Thanks, the wife will love this. She absolutely loved yesterday's episode.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
You guys aren't familiar with Nielsen's PWM (People Who Matter) numbers?
It's a shame that Gotham's is so low but it's at least beating Agents of Shield in the PWE (People Who Exist) numbers. Networks tend to care more about that one.
