It seems everyone and their brother has sent this in via email so I thought I’d better post it before someone’s head asplodes. It’s created by Joss Whedon who also produced the tragically short lived Firefly and horribly overrated Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel*. It stars former Doogie Hoser, M.D. star Neil Patrick Harris and Firefly’s Nathan Fillion, which right there should be all the reason you need if the fact that Joss creating it wasn’t enough.
It’s called Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. It’s a musical. It’s funny. And it’s worth your attention.
Okay, I’ll go on record as saying that I totally did *not* expect that denouement. Anybody else?
It was unexpected given the tone of the rest of it, but totally in line with other stuff Joss Whedon has done. So…unexpected at first, but inevitable in hindsight, I suppose.
Is it wrong that I sympathize greatly with Dr. Horrible?
Nah. I think that was kind of the point.
Overrated? Them’s fight’n words….
I put an asterisk in there because I had intended to put at the bottom: *Overrated to me, anyway.
Then I forgotteded.
Forgiven. I won’t unleash the legions against you.
