Is the Caduceus on the Dr. Horrible pocket something Shawna designed specially for the show, or was it something one can purchase commercially for a home sewing/embroidery machine?

It’s actually pronounced “terp-sick”, not “terp-cheech”. At least, that’s the way she and her husband pronounce it.

The Dr Horrible smock is an older style (Victorian I think). If you look at the StillFlying.net screencaps for Ariel, you’ll see closeups of the Firefly version of the smock, which is identical except for the pocket patch.

Loved the costumes that Neil Patrick Harris as Doctor Horrible. What is that style called? I’ve looked on google and I couldn’t find anything on it. The red one was just gorgeous at the end. How much would it cost to make something like that?

Thanks goodness this was posted. Pronouncing Trpcic was driving me crazy. (Reading a Lovecraft novel really can drive one insane.)

My favorite part of Gambler V was the costumes… though we were all safety-pins and duct-tape. You kinda transform when wearing that stuff… not like Megatron or anything, but you kinda become a different person… but not really… or something.

(Heh. “Kinda” is a valid word to Firefox’s spell checker.)
