Just watched the first episode of Joss Whedon’s Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. It’s free and on the web, so please check it out. It is so worth it.

I loved “Once More with Feeling”, the musical episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The only problem with “Once More” was that the only way you could truly appreciate it was if you watched all 5 1/2 previous seasons of Buffy. And while I encourage everyone to watch Buffy from the beginning, it’s not that sort of thing I can show my non-Buffy fans and say “get it?” Dr. Horrible goes straight to the musical—and Neil Patrick Harris starring as the titular evil genius and he just nails it to the wall. He is so funny, I am so happy that he has got his own back after being out of the spotlight for so long. Nathan Fillion as the oafish hero hams the hell out of the roll, just as it should be.

The only down side is there seems to be some problems buying the video on itunes, but hopefully that will be solved, soon.
