Thank you Alvin and Juli. That was fantastic. I had a smile on my face the whole time. 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓

Just watched The Flash. I'm sorry for the delay. I made a mistake and published the wrong schedule. The flash was supposed to come today and Arrow tomorrow.

Hi, I don’t want to be annoying at all, but are you going to upload the flash/arrow reactions?

The Dr. Horrible DVD does include the Commentary musical as a separate track so with the DVD there's no syncing required. I did buy the Commentary CD separately and ripped it so I can just listen to it in the car whenever. I like the fun of "Better Than Neil" and I have a place in my heart for Joss' "A Heart, Broken" where he sings sadly about being pressured by studios to record commentaries for DVDs. :)

I'm still waiting for The Flash reaction :(

Thank you so much for this Juli! You and your reactions are as fantastic as I knew they would be. :) Please pardon me, but here goes my big bundle of stuff. But first to my fellow Patreons, please please please hold me 100% accountable for curating this content for Juli to watch. Don't rant at her or complain to her that you wanted her to react to something else with her time. She happened to have a love of media and content that she was willing to share, which we all somehow found out about and began to subscribe to. Her popularity does not make her a slave to our wishes and whims. This is why when I knew I had requests for her, I wanted to send something along to help her support her life. Here is my rant: Time is the one gift that you never get back. Talent can be repaid in kind. Treasure/money can be repaid. But not time. Once given, it is given. There's no taking it back. So for her to spend her time on this, I felt it appropriate to return the gift in the way that Internet media and monetization makes possible. For my dear Juli, here is something I would like for you to know. Perhaps some of my fellow Patreons feel the same. In our Internet and media age, content abounds. There's tons of content everywhere. Reactions may be relatively new, but they're not *that* new. The "problem" is that at its inception, reactions were started by supergeeks and techies who because of their immersive gifts of geekiness would often go too deep into the tangential minutiae of a show; full of non-constructive criticisms and often a sour judgmentalism. One does not get to be a supergeek without being competitive it is true, but there is a time and place for it. I have noticed a "new wave" of reactors in the last couple of years with a more "everyman" viewpoint. And by virtue of keeping it real and visceral and intimate, it encourages conversation. It encourages connection. It encourages that people don't need to agree with each other in order to respect and appreciate each other. I am by trade a systems and network engineer. I've been working in data centers and their support infrastructures for my entire career. I have watched the Internet grow, and I have seen it misused in so many different ways. By doing what you do, and by being who you are, you deliver on the promise that the Internet and a connected world is meant to be: a place and a medium for people to make connections, to relate to each other, to get to "know" each other as much as possible without convivencia (there really is no good word in English to explain that; in Filipino it's called "pakikisama"). I wish for you to realize that at its core, it's the same mission statement as what Maurissa, Natasha, Ming, Chloe, and Elizabeth were talking about. Yes these are female examples, but it's not limited to women. As Mo said, the men on the team are part of the same mission. But this is why I wanted to share that clip with you. It's about normal people bringing their own human values and using media as an expression of those values. This is what makes your reactions different and fresh and special. I would rather watch the reactions of your humanity than some supergeek having a penis-size contest about who is smart and who is stupid. Here's my political statement: Governments, but definition of the job they do, are kind of in a dirty business. There are things that they have to get done for the public use and utility, and getting those things done isn't always going to be civil or clean. Government, therefore, is the worst place to look for ethics and morality. *People* are the harbingers of ethics and morality. It is *our* job to be good and excellent to each other, therefore as people from among our own ranks enter into politics and government, they may be influenced to be good and excellent to each other and to the people they serve. And so as you have given your time and passion into creating this content to share with us, balancing it with being a mother, a daughter, a sister (much like Chloe said about Maurissa), so may we show our ethics and morality by giving appreciation and support to the person who creates this content for us.

You are so awesome! I am being very naughty, in that I am trying to discretely watch while I'm at work. ROFL.
