]]> http://io9.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=5466973&view=rss&microfeed=true Could Joss Whedon have finally come to his senses and realized that cable TV will give him the chance to tell edgy stories without compromising and facing the constant spectre of cancellation? We can only hope. FX President of Entertainment John Landgraf told the TV Critics Association tour the other day that he's planning on having a lunch meeting with Whedon in a few weeks. Let's hope it's a fruitful meeting - we're excited by the idea of Whedon creating more online-only content like Dr. Horrible, but we need our hour-a-week fix of the Whedonverse.

Click to viewIf you watched Joss Whedon's web series Dr. Horrible's Singalong Blog, you know all about the sorta dicky good guy Captain Hammer (Nathan Fillion). He's got rubber gloves, a t-shirt with a hammer on it, and nebulous powers of . . . something. I mean, we know he's supervillain protagonist Dr. Horrible's nemesis. But we never really see him do much in the way of, say, shooting fireballs or flying. That's why we cornered Fillion at Comic-Con and asked him what Captain Horrible's superpowers actually are. Here's what he said. More »

Today you can watch the final act of online supervillain musical Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, before the entire tale disappears from the interwebz on Sunday at midnight. Though the first and second acts were sweet and goofy, show creator Joss Whedon managed to make this final installment genuinely upsetting. Dr. Horrible has been mostly a failed science supervillain up to this point, characterized by his unrequited crush on Penny and an inability to perfect his Freeze Ray. But in the latest installment, as you can see in this clip, he emerges as a true supervillain who has penetrated the inner circle of Bad Horse and his Evil League of Evil. More »
