Countdown to DW

[taffimai]

I am watching my DW download get close to completion, and I have a question.

Why is Martha so much hotter when she's evil? The same thing happened with Gabrielle back in the Xena days, though, so maybe the question should be: Why are evil characters so damn hot? Or is it just me?

where did you find a download for this week's DW? I've looked around but I haven't found one yet.

They're all over the place. In the places that they are. Ummm. This is an unlocked posted, though.

*snort* it's okay, i've found one. no need to incriminate yourself now. ;)

Yay!!! If you want to IM me I can tell you which communities to join. (YIM: taffyprime and AIM: taffimai)

Evil characters are hot. I think it's something to do with the lure of letting go - because after all, evil characters have so much more fun. (Until they're brought down by the hero, of course.) *g*

Yeah, but I don't find evil male characters hot. They're just scary. Maybe that's more about me than anything else, though.

Ah well, you didn't specify female only. No idea why that would be. Either gender works for me. *g*

Could be because I'm a lesbian. *grin*

Though Jack is hot anyway. So maybe not.

[unfeathered]

Well, I'm het, so logically I shouldn't find the females ones hot either. *g*

Okay, so it's not orientation, we're just odd?

[unfeathered]

Yep, I guess so! *g*

Well if I remember Buffy correctly this phenomenon goes hand in hand with:

Evil characters gain fashion sense

I mean just compare
vampire Willow to hide-behind-my-hat-Willow, or black-sexy-corsage-thingy-Willow to purple-plush-pullover Willow
Vampire-Xander to Hawaii-shirt Xander
Faith always dressed sexier than Buffy (until they swapped bodies)
Fred changes from little grey mouse, to a sexy skin tight leather outfit, when she becomes Illyria.
Even if you just hit the ethical grey zones, you at least stop shaving, gaining a sexy three o'clock shade in the process (Wesley)

It works the other way around, too. Spike gets a chip and immediately dresses like Xander.

Plus the fact of body language, Angel seems to loose his slouch every time he looses his soul.

Hmmm, this is all true. The mighty Joss teaches everything! Hallelujah!
