The plot is one of the main factors in a TV show. It can be the deciding factor as to if someone likes the episode or not. Transitions are a main part of the plot as well as story lines of each character are very important. If transitions aren’t smooth and defined then the people watching it will have a hard time following what was happening. In the Smash episode the transitions where very smooth. The viewer will have an easy time following all of the characters and their purpose. Smash has a tendency to switch scenes, characters, and story lines, but the clear navigation to where you are going helps with that. In the specific episode, Bombshell, of Smash there was a time transition as well. Unlike most TV shows and movies this time transition was very clear as to how far back it went, and where it picked back up again. Even though the time transitions and scenes were very clear in the plotline of this episode, the some of the storylines were not finished. To be specific, the ending scene where we see “want to be” Marilyn holding a container of pills. We never know whether or not she took them and died the way the real Marilyn did. There was also another unfinished story line with the song writer. Was she really sick because of stress and nerves? Or was it something else? No one knows. Even then her family story line did not finish because we never know if her family is going to make it through the rough times that they have had.
