Another rerun, but perhaps you weren't on my f-list when I originally posted this essay on Dr. Horrible.

Dr. Horrible and the False Dichotomy of the Love Triangle

I didn't actually get into why he couldn't pull the trigger.

Sorry, that's the impression I got from reading the article which, admittedly, I skimmed late at night. I also wasn't too concerned with the whole Buffy aspect: I never cared for her relationships (never liked Angel, hated Spike, and, if anything, I liked Riley) and it's been way too long since I watched even an episode (over a year). I think she was just destined to be alone because, as everyone kept saying, she was the slayer.

Lol. Sorry, I find the whole Smeagol/Gollum comment funny. It's the same idea but Jekyll/Hyde came before that (and I've actually read that novella but have only seen the LotR movies). Still, that's how I find Dr. Horrible/Billy but with more blurring between the lines; they aren't split but two entities that have to figure each other out and live together. Which, in essence, was the whole idea of the webseries: you have to live with the good and the evil inside of you.

How can you not know about the comics?! One of them looks at the ElE, another at Dr. Horrible and Captain Hammer, and another just at Penny. There's also a Moist one but I prefer the last two. The one with Penny is actually super sweet.

No worries. I think I wasn't as clear as I could have been, if the comments at Whedonesque are anything to go by. :)

I've never read Jekyll and Hyde, but I have the musical memorized! :D

How can you not know about the comics?

I don't know!!! I blame DW! LOL

First of all: I have no idea what Whedonesque is. Not too much of a fan of his, even if I love his stuff. Although that doesn't make sense...I'll blame DW. ;)

Second: read Jekyll and Hyde! It's actually about ~100 pages and an easy read. Plus, it is just one of those pieces of literature referenced half of everywhere, imho.

Third: You cannot believe how happy I am to actually be back on LJ and replying to things. It would be ridiculous if it weren't so true.

It's a Joss Whedon fansite. The link with comments is here if you're interested.

Maybe Jekyll and Hyde will be my winter break reading. :)

I am happy that you're back! :D
