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.

That was the first thing I said to my roommate when Barry asked Iris again too.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

The whole "you were supposed to ask me for permission" thing was such a weird, pointless, and uncharacteristic thing for Joe in the first place that I'm fine assuming that Barry just decided that if Joe complains about it again after they literally had a conversation where Joe said of course he approved and encouraged Barry to hold out hope that she'd want to be engaged than he's probably suffering some kind of brain damage.

It's ok Barry will just go back in time and ask Joe if it's cool a second time.

Of course when he returns the whole world will be burning in flames, but hey! Time travel.

Extremely disappointed the episode didn't play out like Once More With Feeling. Or the Brave and the Bold episode! Using a parallel dimension felt like such a cop out, I wanted to see the Music Meister making them dance and sing about their current problems. Oh well. On the plus side, I liked the casting they made. NPH wouldn't have worked in the same way, since this MM was... not evil at all.

Barry calls Joe dad, so he it would be really creepy imo if there was a scene where our hero asked "Hey dad, can I marry your daughter?"

I went back and listened to Once More, With Feeling again to make sure I wasn't rose-tinting it and...Jesus, does it outclass this episode. Twelve or thirteen songs (not counting the ones they wrote and produced just to be background gags), all of them original, all of them at the very least good, all of them providing exposition and moving forward multiple season-long storylines. Plus it was fun hearing people who obviously aren't professional singers give it their best shot, too.

I really hope the CWDC shows give the musical schtick another chance, but go all out on it.

Best moment was Barry claiming he wasn't impressed with "your more famous cousin".

They really should drag Arrow into this next time.

And a Snart/Mick duet.

It's a real shame and it feels like it may be the case of them scrounging a script together at the last minute before filming and stuff out of pressure by fans to make a musical episode.

Having to make the Music Meister some universe hopping imp seems lazy. Give him his BatB powers or some variation and then also the ability to create dimensional portals via singing a note that resonates at a particular frequency and boom! Solved the crossover problem without having to resort to dreams, hallucinations or pocket dimensions. Getting everyone else to sing? gently caress it. It's a musical. Alternatively, he just projects a psychic field that makes everyone start singing.

This guy will be great on a non-crossover Arrow episode. Helping everyone resolve their interpersonal poo poo through song. Not because anyone on arrow likes musicals, just because he thought it worked out well with Flash and Supergirl.

Something that got me thinking from the Supergirl thread. Earth 1 US President was assassinated by aliens in the cross-over. Did they just completely blow that off? No one has mentioned it since? Is the public aware of how he died? Did they blame a terrestrial group that we're now going to war with? Or is this where we need the speed force GIF?

I thought Panabaker was supposed to be a real good singer, too? If that's the case, is there a reason she wasn't in this?

Wasn't too hot on the episode, and expected much better things, but it was okay to watch. At least it tied all the unnecessary drama for Iris/Barry and Kara/Mon-El so that's nice.

Haven't heard anything to that regard, I thought that was the whole point of their Karaoke "date" back then, so Grant could show off his impressive pipes and she could be shocked when he could sing well while she couldn't.
