Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog:

As my mother says: "Why are you surprised? It's soulless Joss Whedon!"

Needless to say, I hated the ending.


Ember Island Players:

Well, that was a painfully unfunny 20 minutes.

Way the fuck too meta. It crossed the line between teasing the fans and mocking them.

The only good thing was Suki's smokin' hot Fire Nation outfit.

But, Mike & Bryan, I have watched the first three season - I didn't need a recap. And I know you guys are shipping Katara/Aang but at this point? You have FLAMING NEON SIGNS THAT KATARA DOESN'T LIKE HIM LIKE THAT!

Suki, Sokka, Jet, Yue - and I'm sure there's more - fell in love during a war.

That Katara keeps saying she's confused and pulls away from Aang's kisses? That is a women who doesn't want to be in a relationship with him.

I don't know how you're going to dig yourself out of this hole.

I didn't like Act III either. Compared to how much I loved Act II, it was quite disappointing.

I didn't mind that they killed a major character (I had actually expected Billy to die), or that it ended on a morbid note... I was fine with the conclusion that the world sucks and the villainy has been achieved. I was just disappointed with HOW they got to that conclusion. It was mundane, it was predictable, and I can think of about seven or eight ways already to reach the same conclusions but in a much more wacky or creative way. And it didn't really end so much as...trickle out.

Frankly, when Penny was dying, all I wanted to do was get out my Firefly DVD and watch the 1,000 x better Kaylee getting shot scene.

And what were your ideas? Because at around act 2 i realized what he was doing to do, and spent the next 15 minutes hoping futilely he won't.

My first choice would have been to make Penny be secretly Bad Horse. That wouldn't mean she'd end up dating Dr. Horrible, or even that Dr. Horrible would win his goal... it would just change the dynamic dramatically.

Penny could have died in a more active way... by doing SOMETHING instead of being a victim of stray [ammunition].

I have more ideas, but they're... scattered. And a lot would depend on or involve a three-way confrontation instead of the two-way confrontation that we actually got.

The one reason I don't like Penny as Bad Horse is that it would have screwed up the trying to be evil guy in love with a do-gooder.

But there really, really needed to be a three-way confrontation instead of the one we got.
