Didn't see that ending coming at all. I don't know how Joss continues to blind side me like that. At least act 1 & 2 were fun stuff. :-(

well I was pretty shocked... I was expecting standard musical: light romantic comedy, like OMWF...
I wasn't expecting tragedy!

But I have to say how much I love it! I'm so moved my it, Neil Patrick Harris was completely brilliant!

BTW for those who miss Penny, I want to pimp The Guild:

written by and starring Felicia Day, it is all about online gamers (she is one her own self)... it is VERY funny!

WOW. Joss is the master. Didn't see that coming at all. I knew it would be good. I took my Ipod to the midnight showing of Dark Knight and shared with my friend,(acts1+2) he choked on his popcorn he was laughing so hard. Awsomeness abounds throughout.

it was cute, but considering joss's talents, insignificant.

Actually I think it's VERY significant.
Nevermind the content, look what he has done. He put it all together for the whopping price of "the low 6 figures" and distributed it without the help of the studios.
And when it finally went live he basically "broke the Internet" from demand. Then Dr. Horrible became the #1 download on iTunes.
I don't know how much money he's made from it thus far. But he's already changed the course of entertainment. The studios should be scared.
And if you truly listen to the dialog, he really does make some heavy statements -- just in light-hearted song. 'Cause everybody knows that's the least painful way to learn a lesson.
He refers to Capt. Hammer as a "corporate tool" -- studio tool, perhaps? He talks about "sheeple" showing up for the slaughter.
Watch it again -- there is plenty of substance in that 40 minute gem.

As far as the ending -- somehow I just had a hunch. Couldn't really have ended any other way. It's the product of Hammer's ego & Horrible's, well, horribleness deep down inside.

Act 3 caught me totally off-guard. I was not ready for what took place. I noticed from the first act that JW was approaching this from an entirely different direction.

But I think I need to see it again to "see" what you were talking about Stoweaway. I did hear the line about "corporate tool" and wondered for a second what it was about.

But Joss did take musical comedy and direct-to-fandom entertainment in a whole new direction. The studios are already quite nervous about the advent of homegrown tv (if the writers strike was any indication).

The Bad Horse song it just too funnee for words.

Gently wafting curtains....

Wow, I loved the second and third acts, mainly because of Nathan.

For those of us outside of the US (and those who just want to see them again!) I uploaded a few of my favorite songs from Dr. Horrible onto youtube. Of course, I am highly urging everyone to purchase the real thing on iTunes (which I've already done) and the DVDs when they're out!

Here's the songs.
Laundry Day (My Freeze Ray)

A Man's Gotta Do (+ Reprise)

On the Rise

Perfect Story (So They Say)

Everyone's a Hero

The Nightmare's Real (Finale)

Of course, these contains spoilers if you haven't watched them yet, so you've been warned! and certainly enjoy, Browncoats. =)
