Yeah, Act 3...
Select to view spoiler:
Personally I loved Dr Horrible's last songs, but i hated Captain Hammer's song. I mean, i know we're supposed to hate it, but hammer... blah.
Frankly, I'm imressed with this not because Joss killed somebody. I'm getting used to that. But her last words, it's a full-on tragedy. Her death really isn't the thing, it's that she never knew Billy, his secret, his life.
"But, these strong women characters?"
"Why aren't you asking 100 other guys why they don't write strong women characters?" -Joss Whedon.
"All love is unrequited... All of it." -Susan Ivanova, Babylon 5

I think we need to remember, no matter how we felt about the end, or liking certain acts better than others - he did all of this in a total of 40 minutes. 40 freaking minutes! Only our Joss could get us so worked up in such short a time. Man is a damn genius!

I didn't really like Captain Hammer's song either--I thought he was gonna say something completely inappropriate/assholey (well, moreso than "we had sex"). I quite liked Dr. Horrible's songs though.
But I thought the comedy in this one was damn funny--very Joss with mixing humor when it's really needed.
And the end...wow. The song at the end was so damn sad :( & I couldn't believe how sad it was considering I had only known the characters for like 20-something min. :( *sigh* If I'm ever in one of those depressing moods, I'm definitely watching it again ;)
Joss's works speaks volumes. I mean, we expect something entertaining and campy and popcorn-flicky from something titled a "Sing-along Blog," but you don't expect to be torn around. But this is Joss--he makes a statement and that's amazing.

I actually really liked Act 3. I mean, sure, I was just in a state of disbelief at the ending, I mean, sure, it's Joss, but I honestly thought it was going to end all happy and such.
As for the songs, I loved all of them, though I wasn't a big fan of the Bad Horse songs for some reason. Captain Hammer's songs were great I thought.
Anyway, now for the real question....how long before we can buy the DVD with all the great special features!?!

SPOILERS WILL ENSUE...
The twist at the end when Penny dies is classic Whedon, hits you right there but made an up till that point ok (not as good as 1 & 2) episode into the best episode. I thought Dr.Horrible was gonna reverse the death ray & save her but he didn't,makes it different & that more touching compared to the average comedy, but wait if the girl dies that makes it a Tragedy, but not to us Whedon slaves, happened all too often but that's why we love him 
Dr.Horrible's is just begging for a sequel now, can't wait for the DVD & Soundtrack.

I am all over the Dr. Horrible thing since I heard about it a few weeks ago on the web.
Just finished watching Act III and I´m totally excited. It´s so refreshing and just FUN.
Nathan Fillion as Captain Hammer, this time self absorbed and arrogant: "The hammer is my penis" , LOL, so hillarious.
And the SINGING, did I mention the SINGING part yet, what an unexpected turn. He is indeed a great actor as the rest of the cast.
Not only is it great, witty entertainment, its also a statement to the entertainment industry, the future is here already.
I´m thinking, if this had been with one of the big networks, would it have turned out as surprising and exciting as it turned out doing it independendly? - I doubt that.
It proves the point, if you are willing to take a risk and you have a strong fanbase anything is possible.
And I´m sure as soon as the DVD is out, Joss Whedon will make his money back.
There is this line in "THE MESSAGE" that came to my mind while watching Dr. Horrible:
"When you can't run, you crawl, and when you can't crawl - when you can't do that...you find someone to carry you".
I think the fans have carried him very well.
Indeed, he has done the impossible and that makes him mighty...

Me again,
How to get hold of Dr. Horrible:
Its easy, got to www.drhorrible.com also for international viewers, it works. I live in Germany and watched all three acts already.
It will only be online til tomorrow, than they take it off completely and we all need to wait for the DVD.
If you want to get all the infos what has happened in the past 5 days in the media and with the fans, check out:
www.doctorhorrible.net
There are t-shirts as well, which are really cool.
It´s also available for download at I-tunes where its No 1 of the download charts, keeping in mind that you can watch it for free as well, this is a huge statement. People are actually willing to pay for good art and thats just great.
I think the browncoats from all over the world had a huge impact in making this project so sucesssfull in only 5 days;)))
enjoy

Was Joss talking about us with these lyrics from Dr. Horrible's song "Slipping"?
Look at these people
Amazing how sheep will
Show up for the slaughter
He keeps drawing us in with great characters and plots then dashes our hopes by killing someone we care about.
And we keep watching.

I hate him. I love him - but...I just hate him. DAMN YOU JOSS!!!!
Anyway, I go from laughing hysterically at Cap'n Hammer "I think this is what pain feels like! Mama!!! Maternal figure!!!"
To gasping.
To almost crying.
To hating the man who created it.
Back to loving him for catching me by surprise like that.
Sound a bit familiar? Change Captain Hammer to Wash, and Penny to...Wash...(impaling and all) and you have the exact same emotions. Should've seen it coming. But no...
Loved it/hated it.
You know how it goes.
