Even my ten-year-old daughter spotted that. "Doesn't SHE get a say about who she goes out with? I'd dump both of them and go out with someone who likes ME!"

Dr Horrible says some pretty agreeable things at times, things I can't disagree with... and I find myself wondering when "Evil" became a code word for, "smart enough to handle moral ambiguities without outside help
