MONDO EXTRAS

Big bash at the Dr. Horrible lab. All the evildoers in town are there. Bad Horse's minions, a hot girl (who may or may not be Bait... or Switch), Moist, other League members we haven't met yet. Dr. Horrible even gets a wardrobe upgrade. This lab coat is red. Blood red. And he heads to meet with the League. Ooh, Bad Horse. Bad Horse is real horse! For some reason, I thought maybe it was just a code name. A real horse is way cooler. Like Mr. Ed, but menacing.

The Doctor heads into the meeting room with his goggles on, and says "Now I won't feel..." flash to a depressed Billy in his lab, wearing plain clothes and blogging "...a thing." The end. Screen goes black. I'm in shock. This is not where I saw this going. I saw it ending in a big sweeping kiss and one of those pretty round fade-in things. Just like the Buffy musical episode, when Spike planted one on the vampire slayer. I didn't expect the heroine to die, even if she was kind of annoying. I want to see more of how this heartbreaking turn of events goes on to shape the horribleness that is our new favorite doctor! I want to see what happens next! ...I am just speechless.

Sigh.

Credits are rolling... maybe there's something more? Nice instrumental medley. I learn that the familiar newscaster is the awesome Marti Noxon. Makes sense -- now I'm singing "They go the mustard out!" in my head. A heapload of people worked on this. I'm guessing it was a labor of love. And then Mutant Enemy's "grr, argh" zombie pops up. A sure sign that that's it. Can I start a petition for more? Please? I've got about 20 bucks on me... would that help at all? No? Probably not. Well, at least I can go rewatch this again. And memorize all the songs. And there's the comic book to look at. That's something.
