Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog
Alright, I have to admit I was skeptical at first. Some time ago I saw mention of this weird Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog and I was like, Huh? I read mention how awesome it was, how amazing it was, la la la. Well, I finally said, “Fuck it,” and went to the website to check it out. I can watch it online? For free? OK.
Only I got there too late. They’d taken it down. It was now only available from the iTunes Store. Hmmm… Not the kind of thing I would normally do, but I went and looked and it was $4 for the show. All ~45 minutes of it. I spend $4 for a couple songs. 45 minutes of story and a load of songs? Guided by whim, I bought it. (Apparently you can watch it for free on Hulu).
I’ve watched it four times now.
I love it.
You will, too.
If you love superhero stories = YES
If you love origin stories = YES
If you love musicals = YES
If you love the geek = YES
If you love something that twists = YES
If you breathe air = YES
Seriously, I didn’t think I would like this show quite so much. I thought I might watch it once or twice, but for four bucks it wouldn’t be any real loss. I can see myself watching this again and again, and every time I’ve seen it I notice more nuance and detail I never though I would. Get it. Seriously.

Dude! It was so good! I too was sceptical, but my Joss Whedon’s mind crush led me to watch it: two thumbs up!

Oh yes, Dr. Horrible was pure awesomeness wrapped in cupcakes and flowers.

I’ve had this post pinned in Bloglines for over a month, so I wouldn’t forget to check it out (which I did). Saw Nathan Fillion on Craig Ferguson a few nights ago, and finally bought the season from iTunes.
Wow. They should expand this by an hour an put it on Broadway.

They’ve actually been approached about doing just that. Wouldn’t that rock? I can’t wait for the DVD to come out… the commentary is supposed to be in musical form and I’m curious how they will pull that off.
