The last frame of last week’s Smash suggested a smash hit – of an automobile smashing into one of the show’s street-crossing characters. So expect some dramatic backlash tonight, as the two shows vying for attention in this series’ plot – Hit List and Bombshell – shuffle the decks once again.

Love this movie. It’s a Depression-era musical about the Depression – and is meta enough to actually be about artists trying to band together and raise money to put on a show about the Depression. It starts off as goofy as you can get, with Ginger Rogers singing “We’re in the Money” in Pig Latin – but ends with a punch to the gut, a returning-war-veterans production number called “Remember My Forgotten Man.” Once you see it, you’ll never forget it.

Tatiana Maslani, on this series, already not only has played several differently acting cloned versions of the main character, but has portrayed them acting, in disguise, as one another. Tonight she does it again, with another clone asked to impersonate another lookalike. Even with a scorecard, there’s no telling the players on this show — except that almost all of them are Maslani.
