Not sure what I think of that Dr. Horrible thing.

Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.garoo.net to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.

Well all I could think while watching it was 'It feels like the Buffy Music Hall episode'... And I finally understood why when I saw the credits.

I like it. Not love, but like.

Yeah, his style is totally recognizable, but here's the problem: The Buffy musical was about characters we cared about, and it was a turning point in several aspects of the season's story arc; whereas Dr. Horrible introduces ridiculous characters and doesn't even pretend to have a story to tell. And in that configuration Whedon's songs aren't strong enough to hold the thing together.

I think he should at least have stuck to the videoblog aspect from beginning to end; at least there was something that could be funny (and the actor's delivery was pretty good for that intro).

fielin, 6 years ago:

I agree with most of your points except... i found the blog part of the video boring.

garoo, 6 years ago:

Yeah, I can't quite remember whether it was funny or just promising, and I'm definitely not watching it again to make sure :)
