Dr. Horrible Act III

Huh.

That was... actually a bit of a letdown. I was expecting something with just a bit more of a twist, not quite so straightforward. And it doesn't really match the light-heartedness of the other two episodes... in fact, it was different enough that it felt almost tacked on, like Joss didn't quite know how to end it. Or maybe it needed to be another episode long or something, because it simply doesn't fit with the rest of the story.

So, um... huh.

I was surprised by the ending, but I don't know about "let down," really - just surprised. But as others have said, that's Joss. Happy endings SO not him...

I probably liked it because, honestly, NPH rocks.

The thing is, I wasn't expecting a happy ending, per se. I was just expecting... more. I don't know. Something a little less cliché. And the sudden change of tone did seem a bit jarring... plus there seemed to be build-up of plot points and characterization that went pretty much nowhere. So there ends up being this vague feeling of dissatisfaction, even though the ending does work.

Definitely agree about the rocking of NPH, though!

It probably could have worked in four parts, so we could have had a little more buildup with a little less letdown there in the final chapter.

I'm on the NPH love bandwagon definitely!
