Whedon: I'm finishing the Fray arc and then a couple of other people are stepping in. I have a plan to do one more arc before the end of the season, although I'm looking at that with a cold eye and thinking maybe I should just oversee that because I'm late with an issue.

Don't do it, Joss :( Write the last arc. It's the season finale!

Please, please, please write it Joss

Let Down | July 30, 07:44 CET

Yes, J. No other hands on the finale, pretty please..

How much did you love that last bit? Remember when all we had of Joss was the occasional witty post here, and we were longing for some new material as much as he was longing to give it? Not easy, for sure, but what a happy embarrassment of riches for us that he's trying to juggle four projects at once that aren't still in the maybe stage. Today's a great day to be ~~homeless~~ a W-esquer, indeed.

as residuals are going to become a thing of the past.

Even if true, not so very timely, Purple-issimo. SAG deal still not done?

THR: You've said that the production budget for "Dr. Horrible" is in the low-six-figures. Is it profitable yet?

Whedon: No. We have not made back our investment, but we are in the process; we are accruing. We have high hopes.

Well, I got my answer. I hope they make it though. I'd buy it again on iTunes but I already have it. Guess I should HULU some more. I hope it works out. Sountrack! DVD! I'll buy for my family!

Speaking of the soundtrack, drhorrible had a tweet last night that it was being mixed and mastered.

And then there was a very long evil laugh.

I saw that, bix. I stared, laughed with it, and visually hugged it. Good times. :)

You gotta delegate when you gotta delegate. It may hurt but you gotta.

I think there's an optimistic way in which Joss' season 8 comment can be interpreted - "one more arc before the end of the season" as in "one more before the end of the season arc, which I will of course be writing". Maybe? That's the hopeful reading which I think I'm going with.

This might be a dumb question, but the only soundtracks I own are from movies that use parts of much longer songs and I get the whole song on the CD. So... will some of the songs on the Dr Horrible Soundtrack be longer?

NYPinTA | July 31, 01:30 CET

NYPinTA, why don't you tweet @drhorrible and ask. ;)

The One True b!X | July 31, 01:38 CET

Hmm, can I do that in 140 characters...? Well, lets see!

ETA: Done.

Longer would be cool. Felicia's solo is barely a minute. But I guess it would be difficult lengthening them with the story already set.

hacksaway | July 31, 02:32 CET

Difficult? For the Whedons? Do they even know the word?

Lioness | July 31, 02:39 CET

Good point. Not difficult so much as extra work they may not have time to do but that would be really awesome if they did. :)
