(My Interpretation of Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog)

When Billy said "a thing" at the end I noticed it was off tune... (Notice how Dr. Horrible is in tune compared to Billy at the end.)

What I got from the ending is that Billy is a socially awkward loner who isn't very popular and is in need of an "edge." Dr. Horrible is a character that Billy concocts in his head to seem cool/powerful/confident/...traits that Billy lacks.

Billy wants to be with Penny but in his mind he feels that Penny would never go for him.

Captain Hammer is a metaphor for the typical egotistical conceited jock that girls stereotypically go for. In this case the girl of Billy's dreams falls for a Johnny Snow much akin to Captain Hammer.

Penny sees Billy as a "buddy" much to Billy's dismay.

I took Penny's death as a metaphor for Billy letting go of Penny to move on...(In the end Billy realizes that he could never be with Penny).

Billy lies to himself...in thinking that Penny's departure meant nothing.

Billy shows his true self as a loner...hence the pie reference. On the suface there's the crust Billy's loner side. In the center there's Dr. Horrible--- the "edge" that no one sees which makes Billy cool in his own eyes, and the third layer is the crust again.

Dr. Horrible is simply what's inside of Billy...an angry side that wants to burst free and be respected.
