What do mad scientists do best but bring back their dead lovers from the grave? I mean, come on, that's almost guaranteed to be part of the sequel! He’s a mad scientist.

Also, I have bad news about The Passion. Life of Brian must have been really traumatic for y’all. Also, I have bad news about The Passion.

This might have made a lot of sense in the context of an ongoing series, or some other sequel where we would be able to explore what happens to the good (horrible) doctor as a result of this tragic past. In the context of a one-and-done story, however, it was a disappointment. I agree entirely with the review of the ending.

I love pretty much all of the stuff Whedon has done (Buffy, Firefly, Angel) and I like the unconventional "it doesn't wrap up in a perfectly happy ending" aspect. But I think sometimes the stuff goes a little too far in that direction. You come to know that there will be no happy ending so you don't bother hoping for it. Ep 1 and 2 were good and 3 was pretty good but the fact that the girl died was no surprise and I was kind of disappointed that it actually happened. I was a little disappointed in the ending as well.

I can't help but feel that a lot of people didn't like Act 3 because the Internet seems to have a crush on Felcia Day. Don't worry Internet, it's Joss Whedon, I'm sure Penny can come back as a ghost or zombie or something.

I saw a few links that mentioned it was a good watch, and that's it. If I'd caught the same pre-vieiwing vibe as you, i'd have probably been disappointed. But having missed all the hype, it proved to be an enoyable show that I've gone on to recommend to several others. (There's a lesson there for MMO companies and prelaunch hype machines). ;) I thought it was pretty solid, but I watched it with Zero expectations going in.

So, I guess that can be boiled down to just disagreement between us. Also, I don't feel that the likability of Dr. Horrible was ever taken away. When he became more resolute in his final goal, it was made all that more easier to go along with by the continuing evolution of Captain Hammer, from good guy to self-centered, uncaring vigilante. Especially considering that his evil was directed at someone out of love for another, he could have just as easily have killed that kid or grandmother if he was really evil. **Possible Spoilers Warning**
