So my icon isn't really appropriate...
But...
oh. my. god.
oh. my. god.
My first thought on finishing "Dr. Horrible"?
I knew it. I knew Joss couldn't write anything (even, apparently, a comedic musical) without killing off a major character.
But I'm still completely in shock.
I mean, here I was, enjoying the heck out of Nathan's horribly smarmy song and his over-the-top grins and seeing David Fury and Marti Noxon playing the newscasters (and how much of a fangirl am I for recognizing writers?) and thinking that Maurisa is totally cute and that I really need a Captain Hammer groupie shirt and laughing at the humor and then--
How could you kill Felicia Day, Joss Whedon? Have you no soul?
But at the same time, could it have gone any other way? I mean, seriously? I now see that it was an origins story, all along--how Dr. Horrible became Dr. Horrible. And that is awesome and so well-done. And isn't the thing I've always loved about Joss's work the juxtaposition of humor and pathos that he does better than just about anyone?
Still, I need to think about this, process it for a while, because I'm clearly not being coherent.
Anyone out there with thoughts?

But I had been suspecting something like that. Though I thought it was going to be NPH's character and not Felicia's. AND NOOO. Joss lost his soul when he made Buffy send Angel back to hell herself. He is a souless awesome human being that is going to be haunted by our fangirl screams even into the grave.
I'm going to watch the rest and return to express all my woe over the now confirmed upcoming fates of our Ms. Penny.

It was. I've never seen anything by Whedon at all, I've just read his blog and Equality Now! speech and loved them, but like. Oh, my god.
I'll have thoughts later tonight, but like. Erk!

I was ready to cry. I freaking LOVED it and aghhhh, the sadness at the end, and OMG Nathan playing a super-hero and aww Dr. Horrible and AGH, Joss. AGH.
Do you know what the deal with this, by the way? Is this a stand-alone project, or are they going anywhere with it?
