Cool things I failed to notice at first, in
"Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog"

(Good thing I kept watching it!)

(During "On the Rise") At the soup kitchen, Dr. Horrible (wearing a fake moustache) replaces the soup serving guy. He misses the bowl, ladling soup right back into the pot, while spying on the date.

The cell phone rings with Bad Horse's theme (to start the song, "He saw the operation...").

(In "So They Say") "Next up: Who's gay?" The fanboy sings the next line (with a lisp).

(In "So They Say") Penny waits in vain for Billy at the laundromat, with two frozen yogurts that she brought. She turns to look when someone comes in, and seems disappointed that it's not him. (Between that and the almost-kiss, he (as "Billy") clearly had a chance with her. Especially once Captain Hammer made such an ass of himself in "Everyone's a Hero".)

The dry cleaning bill is laminated.

Although Penny takes on the seemingly passive role of the "prize," she's the only really good person among the three, and is a good influence on, and inspiration to, both Dr. Horrible and Capt. Hammer. In Act III, they each refer to Penny's good influence on them, but both twist it to fit their paradigms. ("Head up, Billy buddy: There's no time for mercy.") ("She taught me... It's not enough to bash in heads: You've got to bash in minds.")

(In "Dr. Horrible's Turn") The line, "Anarchy, that I run!" (Hah!)

It seems (to me) as though Dr. Horrible couldn't bring himself to shoot Capt. Hammer. He spent his song, especially the last couple of lines, psyching himself up to do it, but kept hesitating. (Contrast this with Capt. Hammer happily pulling the trigger.)

Captain Hammer gives Dr. Horrible the finger when he sings, "WAY!" at the end.

Moist keeps dropping money bags during the bank robbery.
