I can see, as usual after a Nillynalysis, that I'm going to have to rewatch part 2 at least 16 more times. I know it will take me that many to find everything she saw in only one viewing.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

NILLY!
I think the simple answer to your question about the music is a matter of composer's style. The music sounds similar because it sounds like Whedon's writing style. Like how things by John Williams all have similar characteristics.
There's probably more specificity to find there, in piano styles and whatnot, but my brain is not nearly that spicy today.

He's such a woobie, and NPH is doing a fabulous job.
(I saw a clip (probably on YouTube) of NPH doing "Not While I'm Around" from Sweeny Todd with, I think, Patti LuPone, and he broke my heart, the poor noodle.)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
The last number in Act II reminded me muchly of "Rest in Peace".

Wow, Nilly! I thought there was an understanding between us you're not watching this until after Tisha'a Be'Av! /kidding.
1. (somewhat whispering) Would someone please explain me the Australia line, because I can't get the joke?
2. I've just skipped huge amounts of Nilly's posts, but that's mostly because the little voices in my head reassuring me I'll get a rerun, from The Nilly herself, in Hebrew in about three weeks. Oh hell, I'll probably read it on Sunday, when I'll have to amuse myself in work. Somehow.

He's just saying he thinks she'll forgive him for being evil when he gives her her own continent.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I love your posts, Nilly. Dr Horrible, to me, is about five things: being outside of society, the fear of being alone, the difficulty of making a connection with somebody, the imbalance of society and Captain Hammer's penis. It's really typical Joss Whedon themes - which unsurprisingly I'm drawn to - with the added bonus that it's really well shot, and oh yea - it's really good.
So, creatively, I think it works incredibly well. From a business point of view, too, it's worked really well. It's basically the first example I think we're going to see of a successful indy produced web series, without any corporate investment. Which is very much not status quo.

Oh, I kindda understood that and thought it might be some kind of sexual innuendo I didn't get. Thanks Laga!
