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.

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*

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.
