Why Dr Horrible Rocks My Socks - Act I

There aren't many things I really really like, so when I find one, I try to figure out why. I've tried to keep this down to writing and directorial affairs, avoiding reference to the acting as best I can – it's fantastic and important but not what I'm trying to pick apart here. I'm trying to figure out what they did, and how they did it, in the hope that someday, somehow, I can use what I've learned. If I go on a bit too long, well, I'm just trying to process things.

Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog went online literally right after I had written up some notes on a work-in-progress screening at work, and it effortlessly excelled in nearly all the things that I felt the first thing did poorly, so if it seems like I have a bone to pick in certain areas, well ... I do.
