color me your color, darling, i know who you are
Last night, innie_darling and I went to see Chaplin on Broadway - it's a musical about Charlie Chaplin. I enjoyed it, though the songs weren't particularly memorable. I liked the design of the show - I thought a lot of the staging was clever - and the dude who played Chaplin was good. And Marty from Gilmore Girls played his brother.

TV:
Last Resort: NO HONOR GUARD. NO HONOR GUARD. NO HONOR GUARD. That was basically my takeaway from this episode. I think I'm just too tired to pay close attention, because I kept zoning out on this one. I have it on the DVR so maybe I'll give it another shot when I don't feel like I'm going to faceplant.
Arrow: Oh my god, lose the voiceover. It is terrible.
Otherwise, so far, so cheesetastic, but I think I might be shipping Ollie with his sister? I know, I know, but I've always thought Dinah was too good for him (and I ship her with Babs), and nothing in this episode changed that. I'm sure fandom is already shipping him with his friend, which is a possibility, or his bodyguard, which I might like a lot. Or Raisa the maid, who is apparently in love with him. But the sister! Speedy! (I don't even know her actual name yet. *snerk*) Who is already on drugs! And is only 17. I feel like this is plugging directly into my lizard brain. Now he just needs to make her his sidekick!
So the police detective who comes to question him is the father of the girl who died on the boat, who is also Dinah's sister? That is a little ridiculous.
DEATHSTROKE?! REALLY? Is that who taught Ollie all his moves and stuff? because I don't think you just learn parkour and martial arts and archery alone on an island. Though let's be real, whoever they get to play Deathstroke will have a super hard time living up to Ron Perlman's version on "Teen Titans." I am just saying.
I like that the mother is an active agent, even if she's evil, and I'm guessing the father was dirty too, and then trying to make amends. I liked his warehouse and I suppose I can live with his not-as-fake-as-Bruce-Wayne's but not-as-real-as-Tony-Stark's philandering around. The writing is clunky and the acting is hit or miss, but the fight scenes were pretty cool, and have you seen that guy's abs? And also, I like Katie Cassidy and I want to see what happens, so I guess I will keep watching, for now.
Since I am so sleepy - even though I slept SEVEN HOURS last night ALL THE WAY THROUGH - I am putting off watching Nashville; I want to be able to pay attention to Connie Britton being FABulous.

Speaking of comics, there is absolutely NOTHING that sounds good to me about Superior Spider-man. WHAT THE HELL? Hopefully it won't be as terrible as it sounds. At least I'll still have Miles Morales?
Otoh, the new Young Avengers sounds like it could be promising, even though there is no Eli or Anya on the team (Patriot is "unavailable" according to Gillen. Whatever that means.) Kid Loki plus Billy and Teddy and Kate definitely has promise. And Tommy, too, I guess. I hope.
