Joss Whedon’s Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog is worth the hype. It stars Neil Partrick Harris, Felicia Day (from the “The Guild“), and Nathan Fillion (Mal from Firefly).
Acts I and II are available now.
Felicia Day is a great discovery. I’ve watched a few episodes of the guild, but seeing her in this, as well as hearing her sing, is a real treat.
If you think you don’t like musicals, go ahead and give this a try for two reasons. First, it’s Joss Wheedon. What more reason do you need? Second, it’s funny as hell.

We follow Michael Collins deeper into enemy territory, watching the Solarian Marine Corps at their deadliest. The fate of a Rak’lan alien is dealt with as the skirmish ends an in turn sparks a debate about our own grasp of humanity.

Michael Collins was a marine. He should have been a doctor.
Michael Collins was like any other high school senior. He wanted to get even with the Rak’Lan for destroying San Francisco and Shanghai. He wanted to know the truth about the disastrous first contact with an alien race around the orbit of Jupiter…and he was willing to put his life on the line in the service of humanity much to the dismay of the people who loved him the most.
His parents.

Interviews: The month of April is full of interview goodness! We have Tom Kratman, author of A Desert Called Peace, Carnifex, and Caliphate, followed by S. M. Stirling, author of The Sunrise Lands and other books too numerous to name chatting with us. If you’re a fan of military science fiction, April is the month for you! Stay tuned tomorrow for the completion of Patrick Rothfuss’ interview with us.
Reviews: We’re looking at several reviews in the next few weeks. We’re going to talk about Mike McPhail’s anthology Breach the Hull, Charlie Stross’ Merchant Prince series, and Scott Lynch’s Red Seas Under Red Skies.
Podcasts will be resuming next week. After much discussion, we’ve decided to podcast Loss of Innocence in its entirety over the rest of the year. We’ll take occasional breaks to feature work from Kate or from short stories written by yours truly so that we break up the long narrative. The “O’Leary Letters” will be woven into the narrative at appropriate locations, so if you’ve been a fan of Kate’s recent foray into literature, don’t miss the rest of the story.
