Dr. Horrible: Geek Generated Content
Star TrekStargate:AtlantisFireflyBy Lisa Fary
Maybe we geeks should just produce our own entertainment and leave the studios and networks out of it. Seriously. Those twerps cancelled Journeyman. Could you imagine the studio that would greenlight something like Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog?
I mean, really? The video blog of a hapless supervillain in love? And a musical at that?
At best, Fox would do it brilliantly and cancel it after one episode. At worst, the Sci Fi Channel would (A) insert a crappy CG monster or Baldwin (and not in an ironic, funny way) or (B) dole it out in thirty second spots for the next three years while figuring out how to milk the last dregs of Battlestar Galactica for every possible cent.
Yet, there was Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog on the internets, all hokey and goofy and music-y.
And awesome.
Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog is pure, unadulterated geekiness for geeks by geeks. Download it to your iPod and watch it on the morning train. Go ahead and snort while laughing at it. Sing “A Man’s Gotta Do What A Man’s Gotta Do” while dumping out your office trash.
Or watch it in the privacy of your own home. Just download it and support geek generated content!

Lisa Fary’s early exposure to classic Battlestar Galactica in 1979 is largely responsible for her lifelong interest in science fiction and her childhood ambition of being an intergalactic space cowgirl. She thinks diagramming sentences is a fun alternative to Sudoku.
Stumble it!
