Doctor Horrible's arc actually worked all right for me, because I can buy that the hero in this piece wasn't all heroic and the villain wasn't all that bad. Mess with that stereotype all you want (Joss) but do the same with Penny. She had her moment of "gawd, this guy is awful" and sneaking offstage during Captain Hammer's song, but then we get her crouching behind a chair and then we get her dying and still thinking Captain Hammer was going to save her.
Now, I realize Joss has a need to impale people, but why couldn't she have touched Billy's face and told him she wished they'd gone to the laundromat that morning and had frozen yogurt?
