Dr. Horrible's End

It's pretty amazing that in the span of just three 15 minute episodes, Joss Whedon was able to simultaneously raise our expectations and dash our hopes over characters we didn't even know. As for me, I thought for sure Penny was either a fellow applicant for the Evil League of Evil, or Bad Horse herself (very cleverly disguised).

Shows what I know.

Except for the fact that Captain Hammer's song in Act III was sort of long and boring and left Nathan Fillion flailing about in a near-empty room trying to sell it. If he'd had a comical sidekick to work against it would have been a much better Gaston-style show-stopper.

Still, pretty genius for a glorified YouTube. And, FTR, Acts I and II are awesome.
