No. No no no no. No we don't, because musical episodes are the devil and that "trend" is perhaps Joss Whedon's greatest crime. They're either completely thematically inconsistent(if I want to watch a musical, I'll watch a musical, not a serialised drama), or use some ridiculous contrived maguffin to try and shoehorn the premise into the fictional reality, and both are incandescently stupid. They're an excuse for the cast and the writers to masturbate over each other about how avant-garde and creative they are.

"The language of modern British politics is meant to sound benign. But words do not mean what they seem to mean. 'Reform' actually means 'cut' or 'end'. 'Flexibility' really means 'exploit'. 'Prudence' really means 'don't invest'. And 'efficient'? That means whatever you want it to mean, usually 'cut'. All really mean 'keep wages low for the masses, taxes low for the rich, profits high for the corporations, and accept the decline in public services and amenities this will cause'." - Robin McAlpine from Common Weal
I've been absorbing Flash and Arrow over my shoulder whilst I write, and I have to say I'm really enjoying Flash. I seesaw between which I like better, right now it's Flash until Felicity gets some more screen time.
I'm intensely curious to see how Flash continues from here, even though I greatly disliked part of the last ep. I saw.
Spoiler:
Eh. I wanted to see if Mason progressed to a vaguely more detailed character. It kinda felt wasteful, even if it did progress the plot.
Chemist in the room is disappointed by how 'boring' Golden Glider's weaponry is. Honestly not a villain I'm familiar with.

I'll admit that the Scrubs musical ep got me through some truly rough times a few years ago.
I'm going to be okay. That's what's going to happen.
And does tidy up a lot of loose plot threads involving the wife, how Thawne was able to establish an identity, etc. And he even looks more like Eddie, although across that timeframe you wouldn't necessarily expect much family resemblance.
The last half of this season has been kinda insane. And the previews make it look like it might stay that way right to the end. Can they really keep it up, though?
It occurred to me that they now have a mechanic for keeping Tom Cavanagh around even if Thawne is exposed and defeated.
I caught up last night. Really looking forward to the last few episodes of the season. Looks like we might get another, large cross over which will be awesome!

It's actually the next episode for "The Flash" called "All Star Team-Up".
So at Wondercon, one of the producers mentioned how everyone missed that in the flashback (flash forward?) to his battle with Thawne in his parents' house, Barry's Flash symbol has white in it.
There are some interesting bits to come out in that article. Like the parts about characters finding out what the alternate (original?) timeline had in store for them. I also thought this part was interesting.
Kreisberg mentioned how Tom Cavanagh (Harrison Wells) likes to twist things for the audience, and that he's pitched Tom things for the future that he's excited about.
So will we see Cavanagh as Wells-Thawne, or as Wells?
Considering this is a thread about the show I can't imagine creating a new thread for the show but if we need to we can.
Well the season finale has come and gone and overall I would say the season was a lot of fun to watch.
Spoiler:
I was a bit surprised how they killed off Eobard Thawne, though with Eddie being sucked into the anamoly I imagine they will comic book that away if they want to. I'm ok with them finishing him, but let's face it in comics people tend to find a way around death.
Jay Garrick's helmet coming out of the time stream was a nice touch, though that might mean they are introducing multiple universes as well.
Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.
When Barry is trying to build up the speed to travel back in time he sees visions of the possible past and future. The Flash Museum, Caitlin as Killer Frost, a prison scene (though I didn't catch enough of that one to know what was going on there)

I've got to admit, I was expecting next season to be 'Flashpoint Paradox' based but surprisingly, for once, my initial guesses about the story were right. - Including the heart to heart.
Completely missed those time travel scenes though, so I'm rewinding it.
Was that Hawk Girl that was cut to looking up to the sky in the final scene at the end?
Kid Flash/Wally West, and Keiynan Lonsdale (inset) (2015 DC Entertainment. All rights reserved)
The Flash is getting a new friend in Season 2. The show has cast Wally West.
Keiynan Lonsdale ("Insurgent") joins the show as Wally, a series regular role in The CW superhero drama, which stars Grant Gustin as Barry Allen/The Flash.
In the DC Comics lore, Wally is Iris West's nephew. Candice Patton plays Iris on the show, and Jesse L. Martin plays Detective Joe West.
In the comics, Wally too becomes a speedster -- Kid Flash.
"Just like when we met Grant for the first time, we instantly knew Keiynan embodied all the heart and courage of a hero. We are so excited to be bringing this much-beloved character onto the show," Executive Producer Andrew Kreisberg said in a statement.
"The Flash" Season 2 premieres October 6, 2015 on The CW.
