“What I love about it, like with what Joss Whedon would do with ‘Hush’ or ‘The Body,’ where he would have these very special episodes but they were still intrinsic to the storytelling that was going on, is when we get to the musical episode both Barry and Kara will find themselves at pivotal crossroads on their respective series, and the experience of going through the musical will have a great impact on the series moving forward.”
