What did everyone think of Derek's new take on Marilyn and Karen playing it?

    DUMB.

    The episode was super intense, though!

    I like privacy. A lot.
  • I actually think that having a dirty, gritty Marilyn would be a cool way to do that play. I sort of agree with Derek that it's all very happy currently.

    I thought it was super lame singing in the bowling alley. 

  • I appreciated the take but thought the song was awful.

  • Every week I like the show less and less, but yet I keep watching. I'm not sure what I don't like about it, but I guess I'm invested in the characters.

  • It looked like a music video to me

  • I actually enjoyed Derek's new take using Karen.  It's edgy and he's right about showing Marilyn's other side. I don't understand why they want to replace Ivy.  I think she plays the blonde bombshell perfectly.  And she has a great voice.  I don't particularly like her snottiness, but that's just the role she plays.  I feel like the show isn't going anywhere and I'd like to see them pick up the pace.

    agree.

    So is the affair over between Michael and Julia? Why did Michael turn into such a honest guy where his family means everything to him?

  • I loved when Ausiello ripped the episode to shreds on his blog yesterday. It was truly a gawd awful episode.

  • I had been really enjoying the show the past couple of weeks. But this episode was terrible!
  • I agree.  I think they've delved into the character's enough and now it's time to pick up the pace with the Marilyn show, make the decisions, get it going and come up with some new issues when the play starts.

    Yes, and I agreed with much of what he said too.

  • I think an entire musical with music like that, or a regular musical with that song randomly thrown in, would be just awful.

  • Does anyone else get really annoyed at that thing Katharine McPhee does when she's singing, where she kinda puts her arms up as if she has an iota of soul or emotion in her singing?

    Always! It's like she doesn't know what to do with her hands, so she just raises them up above her head.
  • This show is so bad, why do I keep coming back? 

    I think they should have both girls play Marilyn.  One as the innocent one, the other as the bombshell sex kitten. One as a brunette, one as a blonde.  The sides of Marilyn.

    grease 2 flashbacks anyone?

  • I was a little bored with the episode.  It was probably just a filler and a good way to stretch out the storyline?  The one song with Karen was TOTALLY different from the other songs Tom and Julia had already put in.  The show would be a huge flop if it was just randomly thrown in.  I'm not sure what the daughter coming back really did for the story.  She was there for a couple of days maybe?  Meddled in her parents divorce, and her mother's production. 

     Next week's episode looks good.  I'm not a fan of Ivy, but I'm interested to see where her story line goes in the next few weeks.

  • There is way too much pop music for a supposedly Broadway show.

    I like this idea!

  • I hate Ellis, he's the "Carl" of Smash, He's everywhere he's not supposed to be and no one appears to be watching him when they should be.
