Finally got to see Dr. Horrible's Sing-along Blog. By the time I got home from work yesterday, the site had crashed. Anyway, I thought it was cute. Up to a point.

not so much spoiler as a probably unpopular opinion )

Then you missed the best part of Joey... which was that as a sixteen year old virgin he had an affair with his mother's lifelong frenemy, the decades older Dorian Lord... and it worked!

Trying to describe it sounds so oogie (made funnier I suppose by yesterday's scene when she was screaming 'PERVERT!' at her ex-husband yesterday and threatening to cut off his balls with pruning sheers. Even though he didn't do what she actually once did do - have an affair with a minor). Anyway, somehow, someway they pulled off the Dorian/Joey affair and made it (dare I say it)... endearing?

Dorian is the ur Cougar. Over the last thirty years on the show she's had a string of hot young men. And to this day, when people debate who is truly the 'love of her life', Joey is often mentioned (though personally, I think it's her 20 year younger ex-husband the gold-digging, towel-and-swimsuit wearing, hilarious, shallow, vain, and irrepressible David Vickers.)

Ah Dorian, bless her, she likes them young and HAWT. And just as long as she keeps them half-naked, the audience will love her :)

Do they still have that soap network that was playing old shows? Because *this* is made for that network. I wonder if they'll ever put old soap opera episodes out on DVD.
