Random spoilerific commentary on Dr. Horrible, Acts I-III

[orichalcum]

Dude, what's up with Joss Whedon's obsession with death by impalement of sharp metal (or wooden) objects, anyway? Is it all just a Buffy reference?

Also, I kinda wish we'd had a warning about the Abrupt Genre Change from high school romantic comedy with wanna-be supervillains to dark angstful tragedy.

Oh, wow, yeah. I kept thinking she was going to do something interesting (especially when she sort of ran away and hid from Captain Hammer in act III), but ... no. Just sat there looking wispily pretty. Which she did quite well, mind you, but there are limits to how interesting that is.

Yes, she _looks_ like a perfectly good Whedon girl, but she doesn't _do_ anything.
