This thread has degenerated into self parody. The commentary is as ridiculous and predictable as the SMASH that some of you perceive.

Ok. And sure.

You are correct. That scene is Marilyn visiting her mom in a mental institution.

F*CKing Sam is the worst. There's not a bad situation he can't stick his nose in and make worse. I hate him.

This episode was all over the place for me. We simply need more Hilty/Bombshell and less McPhee/Hit List. Why must every song that McPhee sings be badly autotuned?? The Hang the Moon number was a highlight for me and Rodriquez's number just didn't make sense. WTF was that anyway??

It was about being the diva and getting the attention Karen should be getting. Ana and Karen gonna have troubles now.

Is she Ana like Cher or Madonna? Even when she introduced herself to the guy from the Times she just said Ana.

Well I basically just watched the Bernadette scenes, not gonna lie.
I hate this show so much it hurts but my BP love took over.
She looked ridiculous and couldn't move her face, though. I liked the song and her voice sounded good.
But did anyone else burst out laughing when she said "I won a Tony for Anything Goes!"
RUDE. and amazing.

Ana is the Nomi and Karen is the Crystal.

I can't wait to find out Jimmy's real last name!

I hope Sam dies!

Ana is the Gaston and Karen is the Beast

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Posted: 4/2/13 at 11:43pm

Ana is the Diva and Karen is the Pageboy, the silent role.

[Wynbish]

Could you imagine Karen thrashing around in a swimming pool, while riding Jimmy?

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 4/2/13 at 11:45pm

Ana is the Theresa and Karen is the Caroline.

Also, ever since it was all "The Diva" "The Diva" "The Diva" since last week I've been imagining it's Hard to be the Diva from Starmites.

Ana is the Veruca and Karen is the Oompa Loompa #3

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 4/2/13 at 11:49pm

Ana is Tara and Karen is the Sooki.

I'm loving the Hilty/Bernadette/Bombshell stuff. Those scenes are some of my favorite of the season.

I could really do without Hit List. They need to explain what role The Diva plays. She only had one song? The number definitely felt like Spider-Man. Ana would make a good Arachne.

Drug Dealer plotline...zzz

Karen is the Mary and Ana is the Rhoda

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 4/2/13 at 11:53pm

I'M THE MARY!! You're a pasty hag on a death bed!

[Wynbish]

Posted: 4/2/13 at 11:56pm

Neither of them are Romy or Michele

I know right, they are so pushing the "Jimmy is bad news" storyline. And the fact that he took the drugs in the end is supposed to indicate that he is just totally unstable. I have to say, as an actual young person (don't be fooled by my use of the phrase "young person". I swear I am), I know MANY MANY MANY people who would gladly accept a bag of free recreational drugs were it to be dangled in front of them and they aren't anywhere near "dangerous" or whatever. But to say Smash's writing team is out of touch with reality would be the understatement of the year so..... Jimmy's overdosing in T minus 3 episodes?

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 4/2/13 at 11:59pm

He's not going to overdose until opening night when he'll come stumbling into the party looking like Uma Thurman in PULP FICTION.

I can't wait for Julia to rewrite the Hit List book so that the Diva is now the lead and Karen's character barely has any part. That would be the only thing that would make me legitimately happy at this point.

[WhizzerMarvin]

I really feel like they are going to kill off Jimmy- maybe on Tony night. When they call out his name for Best Score or Best Actor he'll be in the Marquis bathroom choking on his own vomit.

bjh, It would be funny to see Karen's part reduced in Hit List after she quit Bombshell to do the show.

I do appreciate that Martin's character admitted that the story of Hit List needed work.

I miss Jimmy already. I wish we could trade Sam's life for Jimmy's.
