I know, I sort of stopped watching Buffy about halfway through the series. It was just going off on quite the angle.
And definitely make sure you do watch Dr. Horrible!

The story behind it's creation is as follows..
During the Writer's Guild of America strike of 2008, Joss wanted to make a show/feature film that didn't undermine the efforts of the writers, with their strike. What he ended up doing was creating a 45 minute film split into roughly three 15-minute acts. He decided to distribute Dr. Horrible for free on the internet. Even the actors (quite notable TV actors like Nathan Fillion and Neil Patrick Harris!) weren't paid. They made a deal that they will be paid for the work done once the movie is released on DVD, which will be happening in a short while.
And I'll be getting the DVD release as it will be coming with extras.
