Act I is out, and the next 2 come out over the next few days. Go forth and enjoy. It really can't be spoiled, so just watch.

    I couldn't say that I didn't literally laugh out loud when Captain Hammer showed up. Promising.

    That was awesome. It started out sort of lame like a villain's youtube blog, but it got a whole lot better real fast. About the time when the singing started. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    I think it's pretty funny I'm rooting for the villain.

    Oh and Comprox, you forgot the essential picture-link:

    Weird that I didn't think to post this. That said, it's beautiful. I love it. Everything about it. I wish it had gone on forever instead of ending, but nothing can be perfect. Also I wish there were more options than iTunes and bootlegging it as far as downloading. Because iTunes sucks.

    I felt the same way about Firefly. I've only seen the first episode of Buffy and none of Angel and maybe someday I'll get around to them but that chick does NOT look 16 and it just annoys me.

    But yeah. Firefly. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />

    Joss Whedon is God. Especially in the area of Dialog.

    Loved FireFly.

    Haha I laugh every time I see:
    "The hammer is my penis"

    I've seen it three or four times now because I love the last song of Act 2.

    Great great show. I really must buy the dvd when it's out... Actually, I can use this itunes gift card someone gave me!
    It's only 4$ for a "season pass". Anyone with 4$ should buy it!

    It's incredibly slow to load, and iTunes wont let me download it because it's not in the Swedish Store. Dammit. Doesn't seem to be on Youtube either.

    EDIT: With just a bit of hassle, I've watched it. Good times!
    But why is the girl so deathly pale?

    Contrast with the red hair. Possibly lack of makeup. Studio lighting washes out.

    ... or until the 19th when the last episode comes out. Unless they make more. Which they probably won't. Because things as awesome as this made by Joss Wheadon inevitably end too soon <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />

    Heh, I love the Penis part.

    But most I love the songs. The duet with nathan and felicia at the end of act 1 was breathtaking.

    The characterization is really interesting with Hammer being essentially a dumb callow bully. I wonder what act III will bring.

    Supervillian teams have NEVER made sense to me. I mean, superhero teams are fine:

    "I wish to save the world!" "So do I!" "Awesome, let's join forces!"

    But supervillian teams?

    "I wish to be undisputed ruler of the world!" "So do I!" "Awesome, let's join forces and... both... be undispu... Uhm... Hey, does this rag smell of deadly, deadly poison to you?"

    Everyone who worked for Hitler? Part of a supervillian team. Ditto for Pol Pot, Pinochet, etc. Not everyone needs to be the #1 person in an organization. That's like not understanding why any company can ever have more than one boss. "I want to be in charge of people and earn money!" "So do I!" "Awesome, let's both work for IBM and... both... manage people... uhm... look, have some backdated stock options!"

    Godwin's law lololol.

    I'm not sure your examples apply. I mean, there's only one world, and there can only be one supreme ruler of it. Supervillians want to be supreme rulers of the world (if they don't simply want to destroy it - another potential source of conflict right there). Dr. Horrible is NOT a henchman. And neither is Bad Horse, I can tell you. Which one of those gets to be supreme ruler of the world? And do you really think the other will defer to him? No, I'm not buying it.

    No, if they're proper supervillians, they'll doublecross their entire supervillian team first time they become a minor inconvenience. Maybe that's why they join teams in the first place? To have someone to doublecross? I mean, who else can you doublecross? Your henchmen? I bet it's WAY more fun to doublecross other supervillians.

    good stuff <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" /> I've never been as ga-ga over Joss creations as some people, but it's still quite entertaining. I guess his "thing" is kind of "ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances"? could never quite put my finger on why his stuff works. It's always so mundane, often corny, yet oddly appealing and magnetic...

    Superheroes and villains are the opposite of ordinary people. In fact this is more like extraordinary people in ordinary circumstances.

    Don't forget that they added just the slightest hint of femininity with the "It's curtains for you Doctor Horrible. Lacey, gently wafting curtains" bit.

    they seem pretty ordinary to me, despite the costumes. the superpowers are practically a macguffin.
