The Thoroughbred of Sin

[leia131]

 

1. You would have thought, being a fan of Buffy, Angel, Firefly, and Joss Whedon in general, I would have seen Penny's death coming.

But I didn't.

I was shocked and upset for a while, but once I watched it again I realized how very much that ending works. It's no less sad, but it works.


2. After reading a lot of other people's opinions on Act III... Was I the only person who always knew Bad Horse was an actual horse? I never once thought he was a human.


3. I bought Dr. Horrible on iTunes, and I also downloaded all the songs, so if you missed out... I've got you covered.

Elsewise, I'm trying to decide how often to post story bits. Any thoughts?

1. Oh, it works! It totally works. Yeah, it's the "perfect" ending for the series, but oh man, it's kind of really heartbreaking. :'(

2. I totally knew Bad Horse was a horse. A human? Why would a human have a "terrible Death whinny"? XD

Every day? Every other day? Every week? I would love more right away :)

I know! I mean, they refer to Bad Horse having hooves and a whinny and being the thoroughbred of sin, but I kept reading comments of people being surprised to see a horse there. I was like... DUH.


Oh, you liked it! I think I'll be posting bits pretty frequently. I want to motivate myself to finish the stupid thing.

I actually thought Penny was going to turn out to be Bad Horse and that she was only sleeping with Captain Hammer to ruin him. I'm a dummy, but it just seemed to me that Bad Horse was a person in a costume....I mean Captain Hammer isn't actually a Hammer. I might steal your icon too. lol.

Well, yes, about Captain Hammer, but they didn't reference him having hammer parts or making noises like a hammer. (Whatever noises those might be.)

I kept seeing the Penny = Bad Horse theory too, but that hadn't occured to me. It's just... Somehow not Joss's style.

There's a fantastic livejournal Dr. Horrible community, from which I got that icon and many, many others, here: http://community.livejournal.com/dr_horriblesing/
