WTFrak!!!
The groupies were a trip, particularly the girl with Hammer's lock of hair and dry cleaning bill. And the fact that the boy groupie was smitten also... priceless.
I'll say more later.

I was just thinking after Act 2 that 'Hey, a Joss Whedon show and no deaths yet.' Shoulda known better. Bad, Joss! Why must you get me every time?! *sob*

Maria--Maurissa Tancharoen (one of the writers) was one of the groupies. She has a beautiful singing voice too! Marti Noxon was one of the newscasters. Another one I didn't know could sing so well. 
Whims, I keep forgetting that. Stupid! Stupid! Every frakking time!!!
"It's not enough to bash in heads, you must also bash in minds!"
Consider me bashed, Joss!

First song:
Moving guys:
So they say Captain Hammer’s become a crusader
Political, is cleaning up the streets
Groupies:
So they say that it’s real love
So romantic – he signed this
Penny:
So they say we’ll have blankets and beds
We can open by Monday
Thanks to you
Hammer:
Thanks to me
Newcasters:
It’s the perfect story
So they say
A hero leading the way
Hammer’s call to glory
Let’s all be our best
Next up – who’s gay?
Groupies:
So they say he saved her life
They say she works with the homeless
And doesn’t eat meat
We have a problem with her – this is his hair
Hammer:
This is so nice
I just might sleep with the same girl twice
They say it’s better the second time
They say you get to do the weird stuff
Groupies:
We do the weird stuff
Penny:
This is perfect for me
So they say
I guess he’s pretty ok
After years of stormy sailing
Have I finally found the bay?
Moist:
He’s still not picking up
Penny [Horrible]:
There’s no happy ending
So they say
Not for me anyway
Should I stop pretending?
[Stop pretending]
Take a chance on a brand new day
[Take the chance to build a brand new day]
Groupies:
This is his dry cleaning bill – 4 sweater vests

That was funny and intense. Score another one for Joss Whedon! I think he and Eric Kripke must be soul brothers.
Whedon did kind of give us a warning of what was coming in Act II with the phone call from Bad Horse (who I was amused to see was actually a horse and not just a guy with that name).
I'm hoping for a sequel. Without spoiling it for others, I have just one word....Frankenstein. Hey, it could happen, ya know.

Tana-No problem. I was up early (extra kids in the house this morning) and was eager to watch. I love this kind of stuff. (sick, I know)

Kris, you totally rock!
Maria, Whims, Tana, and Trish, if I nodded in agreement any harder, my head will fall off.
DANG. I've seen it a few times already and I STILL can't get over it!
I also love that Bad Horse turned out to be...a horse! Bahahahahah! I finally looked more closely at the bad guys. Jed plays Dead Bowie and that in of itself is HILARIOUS.
"Oh, I'm in pain! I think this is what pain feels like! Oh, mama! Someone maternal! Get out of my way! I gotta get out! *runs out the door crying*"
I don't think anyone has ever given Nathan a chance to do a part like this one and he totally went for it! Nice work Captain!

You're most welcome Trishy! And thanks again Kris--great work on the transcription!!
I'm off to see Mamma Mia with me Mamma (who else?). More songs to get stuck in my head! Well, I have to support Amanda Seyfried of course (sometimes known as Lily Kane). But my heart belongs to Dr Horrible!
I'll be back later for more rehashing and rewatching. Oddly enough my iTunes versions are not playing/buffering well, so I've been watching the ones on the site instead.

Famin-you're quite welcome!
I had a chuckle when Dr. Horrible is robbing the bank in the final scenes. He's just kind of waving the gun around half-heartedly, while everyone is giving him all the money. Oh, and Moist is there too!
I couldn't quite catch what Capt. Hammer was saying in that last bit where he's on the psychatrist's couch. I couldn't tell if he was moaning over the pain he felt, or the fact that he couldn't save Penny. Anyone catch it?

Kris:
Not sure about that one, but I can pretty much guarantee he was upset about his pain and suffering and not Penny. I thought I caught the word "eye" in there, but who knows. Hope Whedon has this closed captioned for the dvd release!
