Albion: The Enchanted Stallion

So, remember a couple years ago when I looked into a few of Sean Maguire’s non-OUAT projects? I decided I was going to try to look into some other cast members’ other projects as well…and then I get distracted. But let’s jump start things with Jennifer Morrison and Albion: The Enchanted Stallion.

So saddle up and hang on for SPOILERS!

Smash: Bring Down the Curtain

Last time on “Smash:” Sam learned Ivy was preggers! Derek did not! Tom was obnoxious about the Outer Circle Critics awards! He annoyed Patrick Dillon, a hot actor who may or may not be gay! Jimmy is worried Kyle won’t get a Tony nom! But then everyone pretty much got a nom! Time for the Tonys!

SMASH!

We start with…someone misspelling Anjelica Huston’s name as “Angelica.” Way to go, show! Anyway, the cast sings “Under Pressure” as they walk around New York City to get to the Marquis Theater which is hosting the Fake Version of the 67th Annual Tony Awards.

Last time on “Smash:” Hit List made it to Broadway! Daisy blackmailed Derek and replaced Ana in the show! Jimmy wants to get Kyle a Tony! Someone told the press about Season 1 Ivy! Tom and Julia have a goodbye performance! Ivy is preggers!

SMASH!

Ivy’s pregnant and suffering from morning sickness. A stage manager bangs on the bathroom door, telling her she’s missing her curtain call. She yells back she’ll be out in a minute. And her odd behavior hasn’t gone unnoticed. Jessica and Bobby recruit Sam to check in with her, telling him about her bizarre behavior which includes almost missing her Act II entrance because she had fallen asleep during the intermission. They are concerned Season 1 Ivy is back.

Smash: Beware Sneaky Chorines

Last time on “Smash:” The bastards killed Kyle, one of the last likeable characters on this show. Everyone mourns the loss of a genius despite the fact we hardly saw him being a genius. They cancel the performance of “Hit List” but then Scott reschedules it, though it costs him his relationship with Julia. Jimmy returns to perform while most of the cast looks on. As they toast Kyle, Jerry reveals he’s bringing “Hit List” to Broadway.

SMASH!

Smash: Here He Lies, No One Knew His Worth…

Last time on “Smash:” Ivy was running circles doing promotional events for Bombshell. Derek tried to talk to her but she kept shutting him down. Jimmy was high and messed up! So he got fired! Tom and Julia are fighting! Jimmy and Kyle are fighting! Kyle steps off the curb and is greeted by bright lights!

SMASH!

Smash: The Crash

Last time on “Smash:” Bombshell FINALLY opened! And the Hit List cast was invited for some reason! Ivy shone while Karen suffered from a bad case of heaving bosoms. Karen learned the truth about Jimmy and dumped him! Ivy learned about Derek and Karen and dumped him! Leo lives! Julia moved out! The Great Gatsby!

Smash: Another Opening, Another Show

Last time on “Smash:” Ivy went nude! Karen lost some songs and had a hissy fit! Sam quit Bombshell!

SMASH!

It’s Bombshell’s opening night! Well, the night before opening night. Ivy is nervous as she takes her final bow. She’s been refusing to read anything about her performance and everyone seems to be onboard with this.

Smash: Baring It All

Last week on “Smash”: Julia took Kyle under her wing to help him better shape “Hit List.” Which meant expanding the Diva’s role. Ivy celebrated her birthday with both Tom and then everyone else. He discovered this and was hurt, but Ivy explained they can’t be friends until after Bombshell opens. Jimmy and Karen continue to fool around but Karen tells Derek about them.

Smash: Heart Breaker

Last week on “Smash”: Tom became the director of Bombshell but had trouble with Karen. Eileen and daughter Katie worked to find a way to oust Jerry. Julia found one way while Katie used emotional blackmail. Something’s going on between Julia and Scott. Terry Falls goes all out in Liaisons but ends up in the hospital. And the show ends up shuttering, freeing up Ivy. So Karen quits so she can do Hit List and Ivy can do Bombshell. All is right with the world.

SMASH!

Smash: Wait, Who is Doing What Again?

Last week on “Smash:” Derek quit Bombshell! Tom became the director! Jerry forbade Karen from performing in Hit List! But she did anyway! And everyone loves it! Including Jesse L. Martin! And Eileen found out about Ellis and Jerry!

SMASH!

Smash: Temper, Temper

Last week on “Smash:” Julia and Peter finished their script. But then Julia doubts Peter’s loyalty, especially as another script pops up on Jerry’s desk. The script they read, though, is the one Julia wrote and everyone loves it. But Jerry wants to do the original script from season one. Tom agrees though Derek and Julia want to do the new script. They let Eileen be the deal breaker. Meanwhile, Ivy meets her new leading man and realizes he is destroying the show. She tries to help but makes the situation worse. And Karen gathers a bunch of people to read through Kyle’s script for “Hit List.” It doesn’t go so well. Kyle mopes while Jimmy tells Karen they should only interact as colleagues. Then they decide that “Hit List” should be sung-through like “Rent.” So what did Eileen chose? Find out!

SMASH!

Smash: Hits and Misses

Last time on “Smash:” Derek directed Ronnie’s one night only show while Mama Moore ran interference. Karen recruited Jimmy and Kyle to write a new song for the show. But when Derek decides to play it safe, Jimmy flips out that they won’t use his song. He disappears into the night which concerns Kyle. Meanwhile, Julia is upset when Peter ambushes her in his acting class by having said class read and discuss Bombshell with the names swapped out. So she reads his play and learns it sucks. This somehow brings the two together and they start working on Bombshell. Jimmy shows up, high, in time for Ronnie’s concert. She decides to do things Derek’s way and closes with the song Jimmy wrote. Everyone rises to their feet as she takes a bow with Jimmy and Kyle. Oh, and Ellis got Nick locked up and allowed Jerry to take over Bombshell from Eileen.

SMASH!

Smash: One Night Only

Last week on “Smash:” Eileen pretty much demanded Julia work with a dramaturg named Peter to fix the problems with Bombshell’s book. Julia is not happy but he pushes her into writing a scene between JFK and Marilyn…which he still doesn’t like. Tom coaches Ivy through an audition for a revival of Liasions and she gets the role of Cecile! Bombshell returns to the auditions while Karen tries to get Derek to meet Jimmy and Kyle. It works, to their surprise. Though there is a Place That is Not to Be Mentioned and hints that Jimmy has a Dark!Past! Also, Ronnie Moore decided to shed her good girl image by quitting “The Wiz” and asking Derek to direct her in a one night only concert.

SMASH!

Smash: Hands Off My Manuscript!

Last week: The President addressed both houses of Congress and the nation.

Two weeks ago: “Smash” returned in grand fashion! Karen is riding high from the praise of her Boston performances while Julia is pretending she didn’t read the reviews which panned her book. Derek introduces Karen to Ronnie Moore AKA Jennifer Hudson, a two-time Tony winner who will be in The Wiz directed by Derek. Until Rebecca Duvall accuses him of sexual harassment. And then six other dancers jump on the bandwagon. And in the meantime, Julia’s marriage finally implodes and Nick’s money flow is investigated. Bombshell is frozen and considered dead in the water. Karen moves into a new apartment and gets a new roommate. She also makes two new friends, Kyle and Jimmy, who are writing a musical. And she wants to help them get to Broadway, even though Jimmy isn’t so thrilled. Eileen saves Bombshell, Ivy finds her love for the theater after some doubts and Julia gives up her scarves.

SMASH!

Smash: Saving Private Monroe

Last time on “Smash:” Read the recap here.

Time for the second episode of Smash’s premiere! Bombshell is on hold indefinitely due to their finances being frozen. Eileen tries to pay people, but it is difficult. And Jerry is gloating over the whole thing. I bet Eileen wishes she had a Manhattan to toss in his face. She promises Bombshell will live.

Smash: Returning to New York (And Your TV Sets)

Last season on “Smash:” Julia and Tom get the idea to make a musical about Marilyn Monroe despite the fact an earlier attempt had flopped. Eileen decides to produce it to show the theater world—and her soon-to-be-ex husband—she could do it by herself. She finances the show with Nick Jonas playing an expy of himself, Thorsten Kaye’s ill-gotten money and Terrence Mann as a crazy rocker. Eileen hires bad boy director-choreographer Derek to helm the show. And it comes down to who will play Marilyn: Ivy Lynn or Karen Cartwright. Ivy wins it first, then loses it to Uma Thurman, who then quits and Karen goes on in the role. Meanwhile, her relationship with her fiancé explodes and Julia has an affair with the Joe DiMaggio which puts her marriage on the rocks. As Karen’s star rises, Ivy hits rock bottom. Oh, and nobody liked Ellis.

Light the lights, SMASH IS BACK!

A Very Merry Smashmas

I posted this on my tumblr. But I think it deserves a bigger post.

One of the things that makes me sad I have to wait until February 5th for new episodes of “Smash” (besides the fact I have to wait until February 5th for new episodes of “Smash”) is that we won’t get a Christmas episode! And I feel cheated; all those great talents and we don’t get to hear them sing some Holiday classics?

So I asked on tumblr what songs my followers would like to hear them sing. But this is my blog and so I’m going to tell you my choices!

Fade In On a Star…

Last week, Bombshell bombed in previews. Julia and Tom were charged with coming up with a new ending but Julia was too mad at Tom for being a professional. Karen and Dev reconcile and get engaged. But he left the ring in Ivy’s room after their night of drunken sex. Rebecca ended up drinking a smoothie laced with peanuts and was rushed to the hospital. Bombshell is stuck in hell as they await news of their leading lady. So they go to church where Sam and Karen sing gospel and Julia and Tom make up. Rebecca recovers but decides this was a sign she shouldn’t do Bombshell and quits. That leaves one question: Who is Marilyn?


This week, we start fifteen minutes before the curtain goes up. Tom and Julia work on something and rush to give the changes to Linda. They ask her to give it to Marilyn. We then see the camera go through the hallways as people wish the camera good luck…in theater terms, of course. The camera hits its mark and the curtain rises.
