So, I know I’ll get flack for this, but I really enjoyed Sorkin-era West Wing, and I even kind of liked the first episode of Studio 60 (though, unlike The West Wing, it doesn’t work well on second viewing). But Studio 60 quickly took a dive, and after about the fourth or fifth episode, I quit. But even as something of a Sorkin fan (though, after the mess of Studio 60, I’m in recovery), I’m totally befuddled by his newest project, a Broadway adaptation of … a Flaming Lips record about a Japanese girl who fights pink robots. Now, I like the Flaming Lips just as much as your next hipster, and Yoshimi is one of their better records, but this is just bizarre.
