Sing and dancing and...vomiting

Most musicals, as you can tell from the title, make we want to vomit. I loath them. There are a few exceptions but for the most part there is much loathing. I could never understand the random breaking out into song, the fact that the hills are alive with music, or that stupid "I want" song at the beginning of pretty much every disney film...which in my opinion is just some girl bitching cause she does not get her way.

As you can tell I went into viewing "Once More With Feeling" with some preconceived notions that it was going to be stupid, I would hate it, and how could Joss Whedon do something like Firefly and then a musical episode of Buffy?

I was pleasantly surprised. I actually enjoyed it. I should have never doubted that even Whedon could pull off something as brash as a musical episode, and make even the harshest critic want to sing along. Of course it was also great that it made fun of itself in the process. I also highly enjoyed the story arch that played into the comedic effect. Ok I'm done singing (pun intended) Whedon's praises, but really he did a good job...again.
