Dr. Horrible's sing-along blog

Can someone tell me if this is worth watching? About half the people on my friend's list have posted links to it, and as a Firefly fan I feel I should watch it, but the UI is unacceptable for someone on a net connection as slow as mine. It only downloads a minute or so at a time (if I wait half an hour) and then if I try to slide the slider back to the beginning, it tries to start downloading again. So basically I either get stutter speech or a few seconds of watching RT, then pause for 10 minutes, followed by another 10 seconds.

Is there another good way to watch it?

Act II just became available at Midnight eastern time, so I'm guessing that the server is just being overwhelmed again. It's cheesy, but fun. Maybe try tomorrow afternoon when the load has died down?

Have you tried Youtube? It tends to get a lot of these type of web things. It maybe broken down into three or four videos but you might be able to see it better? Also, it claims that you can download it on iTunes. Do you have iTunes?

Personally, I liked it. I saw the first two acts and they were great. People had better voices than I was expecting. It definitely spoofing (somewhat) and plays with the whole good vs evil paradigm (what else is new with Joss Whedon?). Hope this helps.

I enjoyed the first act immensely. Ridiculous, silly, funny, and worth it. I did wait until midnight here, so that I could actually download it without killing my internet, though. Darn satellite FAP. I'll probably watch the second act tomorrow while we're in Fresno and I can use a real internet connection.

I loved it. Eagerly awaiting part 3.

Obviously I'd rather not pay for it, but I would consider paying for it on iTunes if the free option were not available.

I had not heard of this... thanks... I love it :)

I thought part one started a bit slowly, but picked up quite a bit once the singing started.

I loved it, it was better than Cats. I want to watch it again and again.

Seriously, good fun, especially for us who are totally in the tank for Joss Whedon.

On my high speed connection, I was having trouble at times. Maybe borrow someone else's wifi?

Better than Cats? That's harsh, dude.
