On the Rebound

It's a rare and wondrous thing to remember the moment you fell in love. I knew Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon would forever hold my heart mere seconds into Season 6, Episode 7 of his cult hit, otherwise known as Buffy, the musical episode. It was the beginning of a torrid affair that ended in a long, not-so-final goodbye and, of course, the purchase of the seven-season DVD box set by as true and generous a friend as any Scooby, who bequeathed said treasure to me.

And now, behold Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, from who else but the master of fun himself and starring Neil Patrick Harris, Felicia Day, and Nathan Fillion. "All this talent got together in the midst of last year's Hollywood writer's strike specifically to produce something for the Web," according to an NPR All Things Considered story. "They had no idea whether the project would be a success."

I watched it today. I've fallen in love all over again.
