Well tonight's Flash was... mediocre. First off, it would have been nice to have known that I needed to have caught up on Supergirl before this episode aired. I thought it was just going to be a stand alone story and that was it. Now I've had things spoiled (among things that didn't make any sense) for that show.

Moving with the positives, as there were a few such as the Noir-ish lighting and the style. The Superfriends song was hilarious. Seeing Stein and Merlyn was cool, but awkward. Why were they here but not the rest of the groups? I mean, I could understand Stein being there since he was introduced on Flash, but that wouldn't explain why Merlyn was here. Shouldn't it have been Wells or Jay instead? Or even someone from Supergirl?

Anyway, I can't believe I'm going to say this, but for being a musical, they sure didn't really sing all that much. The commercials and press materials made it sound like it was going to be this big thing. Music Meister was a pretty lackluster villain and him just leaving was a major let down. I don't know what it is about this season, but they seemed to have missed their mark on every single Silver Age villain. I'm kind of worried for Abra Kadabra next week. Also, holy shit snacks was Iris' accent terrible.

Overall, while a pretty lackluster episode as a whole, it was nice to see Barry and Kara together again as those two have such great chemistry together. Once again, the Superfriends song was awesome, especially when Kara mentions the time travel part and he says, "I'm not supposed to do that anymore." lol The same goes for the Superman joke and "I'll be there in a flash," bit.
