If you were to ask me what my favorite musical of the past 20 years is, my answer is hands down immediate.
Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog is one of my favorite things EVER. EVER. When i was stuck on how to end the 4th Act i would watch the ending of Dr. Horrible because it is one of the greatest, most perfect endings of all time. (I never did come up with the ultimate ironic twist, i went for something different)
It was released about 2 years ago on the net FOR FREE by nerd darling Joss Whedon. It has 3 episodes. Many of you have probably seen it For those that haven’t i’m gonna post it. I know all you Americans can just watch it on Hulu anytime, but here in Europe, i don’t get Hulu, so i have to post shorter YouTube vids. I wish i could stream it in just the 3 episodes, but here it is regardless: Pure Awesomeness.

Let's connect! Here is where you can find me:
As a Joss Whedon fan, I have to say that is nice. Very nice. But for all its kitschy irony, wit, great tunes and cast, “Dr Horrible” doesn’t hold a candle to Whedon’s true masterpiece, “Once More With Feeling”. Within its Buffy context, that true gem of TV (the greatest episode on the box of all time from anywhere) reaches actual operatic heights; and its homage to everything from Cyd Charisse to West Side Story, cheesy ‘80’s movies and the undisputable genius of Sondheim works a treat.
Okay, i’m in. While i am certainly familiar with Buffy, i have never seen this episode. I’m procuring it now.
