Dr. Horrible

[kaisel]

Lots of people may have seen this already, but Dr. Horrible is back online. For those that haven't seen this, or heard of it, it's a 42 minute internet musical starring Neil Patrick Harris, Felicia Day (who also did a pretty spiffy web series called The Guild), and Nathan Fillion. It was created by Joss Whedon, along with his siblings and other

I actually liked the blog format, though I think the main reason they did it is they could save money (like when Dr. Horrible gets beat up when he first tries to use the freeze ray).

And yeah, I reeeaaalllly didn't like the end, probably because I'm a fan of Felicia Day. Though apparently if they do sequels she might be brought back, which is kinda good, kinda bad. Though the song at the end was pretty awesome.

Overall I felt the first two acts were good, the last sorta meh. I think the thing that bothered me the most was that the first two acts make you think it's just going to be a "nerd triumphs over the bully" sort of story since it's light-hearted, and then the third act happens....

She's in The Guild as well (which I think I linked, and it's also free) :D, which is what I watched before I saw Dr. Horrible. Really, those are the only two things I've seen her in to be honest, but yeah. She was also in Buffy as well.

She was a slayer in the later seasons? I uh, don't watch Buffy, let's see what wikipedia says... she was apparently "Vi". Hope that, uh, helps?

And the Guild is a web show, each episode is 5-10 minutes about an MMORPG Guild, basically the first time they meet in public. It's pretty decent, I like it at least, but then, I'm a geek like that. Luckily it doesn't focus too much on the MMORPG stuff and more on the character relationships.

I truly don't understand why I am the only person who saw that ending coming.
