bull3964 posted:The ADR with Barry's song at the end was really really bad. The sound mix was completely and totally devoid of any sense of being IN the scene. Terrible sound mixing that takes you right out of the moment, kind of ruined any emotional impact. The ADR at the start of Superfirends was also atrocious, as in I'm not even sure Gustin was moving his mouth. And it might've been my local CW, but the levels at the start of the episode were pretty wonky as well. It was a good first attempt though. Next season they can do it better, let HR sing.

I guess nobody's going to mention how weirdly choppy and badly edited the episode was? "My little girl went missing in Moran's club! You gotta find her!" CUT TO interior, hallway "Yeah, she's here in this apartment. Don't tell anybody about how you found out that I know this or how I led you here or about how you know what Moran's son looks like despite never having seen him." I feel like half the episode ended up on the cutting room floor to make room for covers of songs instead of them writing original songs to actually, y'know, provide exposition and context.

Technical choppiness aside, I really liked this episode. It probably helps that Gustin and Benoist are adorable together and I wish they'd crossover more.

Vinnie Jones did a remarkably credible job in Galavant. Honestly someone should have made the writers watch that show before creating this episode.Phylodox posted:I feel like half the episode ended up on the cutting room floor to make room for covers of songs instead of them writing original songs to actually, y'know, provide exposition and context.

Yeah I love musicals and superheroes so this was just like a early birthday present to me. I loved it! I thought it was at least clever that they came up with a way to actually have the musical episode and it not be in the "real" world.

I get that one half-hour episode isn't a lot of time to cram a lot of musical numbers into (although, yeah, Galavant did it on the regular). The Buffy musical at least had an hour. But, Jesus, there were so many times in this episode where I found myself mentally shouting "Why are you not singing this?!? Quit with the dialogue!!! Enough of the Glee-esque covers!!!" It was great to see fantastically talented people get to stretch their singing muscles, but the episode kind of blew, content-wise. I'm definitely not going to buy a soundtrack for three Glee covers and two original songs. They should have made this the multi-night, show-spanning event. gently caress those stupid aliens. Give me David Ramsey and Arthur Darvill joyfully slaughtering a duet about fighting supervillains.

Grounded, standard meta of the week. Music Meister is a magic man who spreads love via musical dreams. Those two things don't mesh. It feels like there was some kind of writing room schism over how silly they could go.

I'm going to need a "Vibeforce: I ain't gotta explain poo poo" GIF after Cisco somehow vibed two people into the minds of other people. "Cisco! You gotta vibe us in there!" "What?! It's a Dream!" "Yeah but you sent people to the speedforce, an alternate physical dimension and other physical locations through straight teleportation so obviously you can connect people together mentally" "Okay!" GreenNight posted:I'd prefer to see Supergirl and Oliver. The only proper way to do this is to have her constantly putting up lights because Star City is so dark and bleak. It was a pretty stark contrast when Cisco and Barry went to National City and it was all super brightly lit.

I thought it was fairly obvious that he was only robbing the bank to help Wally get his groove back and make everyone start working as a team. Even Cisco was using his portal powers to fight instead of just waiting around til someone needs to vibe something. I can understand if people didn't like the episode for whatever reason, but at least I thought it made sense how they presented it. Now what didn't make sense to me is why they called him Music Meister when it was outright stated that the musical came from Barry/Kara, not from him.

Curious what's the story behind this episode. As in...why even have a musical episode? Kind of felt like a filler episode, it's good it at least resolved the relationship drama, but I suspect that only existed to justify this resolution to begin with so eh...

Echoing sentiments, but I feel like Amell were to get included, he should be left as the only one not singing and trying to figure out how to stop everyone else ala Batman in BatB. They also should've gone more explicit in Music Meister's nature since it's obvious he's a Fifth Dimensional being, but never clearly say or imply it.

Honestly, I was a bit put off by the whole... affair. Truthfully, the episode could've had some pizzazz, some flair! They should have sang from top to bottom, front to back, the amount of songs they sorely lacked, they should have sung until the end, lets sing it together my goony friend they should have sang all the way to the. Very. Mother. loving. End! They should have sang the whole episode is what I'm saying.

Given that Music Meister knew everything about everyone and had some manner of transport power I'd guess that he's a Monitor. DC's version of a Watcher but interferes like a motherfuck.

I liked the episode (and sudden musical episodes/scenes in non-musical series in general), but agree with everyone who said there wasn't enough songs. There were so many opportunities for them to express their feelings in song and dance as well, I was expecting them to break into song on several occasions, like when Kara and Barry decided "this is a musical, we have to follow the plot and tell the young lovers to reveal their feelings to their fathers" I was dead certain there would be a musical sting and the superheroes suddenly belting out a song about the importance of honesty or family and love being stronger than hate or whatever.

I'm going to dissent with pretty much everyone who has posted and say I think the balance of musical vs. not musical was the appropriate balance for what this show usually is, where it's currently at, and keeping the logistics involved in mind. But, drat that ADR was bad at times. Like someone said earlier, not necessarily just that it was ADR, but the mixing/balance of it.

I guess if "got an episode" is your only criteria, then it's fine, but it was pretty shoddy in terms of editing and writing, too. I just re-watched the Runnin' Home to You sequence ('cause it is a bomb-rear end song, to be fair), and it's, like, unconscionably boring, visually. It's pretty much shot-reverse-shot in a dark, grey room.

I'm not sure I've kept up with all the episodes lately, but I thought Barry was supposed to ask Joe for his daughter's hand. Did he forget about that again or did I miss it? He needs to go back in time and rectify that poo poo, can't go letting down the flashdads.
