Once in a while, something hits the internet that transcends greatness, looks down upon mere wonderment and scowls disapprovingly at simple brilliance. Dr Horrible’s Sing-a-long Blog is such a “something”.

The brain-fart of Joss Whedon (yes, he of Buffy and Firefly fame), it stars one Dougie Houser MD (aka Neil Patrick Harris) as the titular Dr and Captain Mal (aka Nathan Fillion) as his nemesis, Captain Hammer. Have you ever thought “what I really want is something that chronicles the chronic wooing efforts of a wannabe Master Villain and his frustration at the ineptitude of his nemesis, all wrapped up in a high-camp musical bow with a liberal serving of gut-wrenching hilarity”? No? Well then, clearly you’re abnormal. For the rest of us, this is brilliant.

Act 1 is live now, Act 2 is due on July 17 and Act 3 is due on July 19. To tell you anymore would be to ruin the surprise. Enjoy.
