Was the Glee episode really necessary?


The Glee episode was interesting but I think it would alienate a lot of action fans. I'm an action fan so I don't want to see too many episodes that deviate from the traditional action genre. It could even potentially be a jump the shark moment. I will say that Grant can carry a tune but singing show-tunes is not typical superhero behavior. Victor Garber (professor) was also amazing and I just learned that he's been a great singer for 50+years.

It was an unnecessary, terrible episode which just gave us Barry proposing to Iris (which he already did in a previous episode).

that was so freaking bad!

I think it's main problem is that it makes no sense, even more so now.

Also known as the "jump the shark" episode.

Yes. Not enough shows do a musical episode.

it was epic. and I never watched Glee. it was just obvious how much fun the actors were having and how much they like each other.

I wish people who never watched Fonzie in Happy Days would stop using catch phrases whose meaning they don’t know.

This was a great, fun, step out of the narrative and just break loose moment. It’s the kind of thing that Legends of Tomorrow, the best comic book-based show anywhere on video (more fun, exuberant, inventive and playful than any of the Marvel stuff that was on Netflix) does all the time.

ATG6, you are spot on. When the people onscreen are manifestly having fun, WE, the audience, will have fun.

Great points.
