That Dr. Horrible and Captain Hammer have equal votes right now is a tribute to how good this show was. ---

Good call - I’ve fixed the title to remove the spoiler, and add a general Whedon spoiler warning. ---

> [@Ferret\_Herder](#): > > Yeah, but Day has major geek cred, which boosts her hotness rating for a lot of guys. Very very true. Both are equally attractive, but Day’s proven geekery firmly places her higher on the hotness scale. Oh, as as per the poll, I voted Doc Horrible. The entire chain of events could have been avoided if he just had the stones to talk to Penny openly and honestly about his feelings. Even if she had rejected him, I think things would have turned out differently. To Penny’s benefit at least. ---

Also, should’ve mentioned, Alysson lost points for dying her hair. Laura Prepon did too, for that matter, but that’s an entirely different discussion. Point is, Felicia definitely wins for always being consistently maintaining the hot red haired quotient. (p.s. Can you guess that I have a thing for redheads? Raise your hand if you do too!) ---

This is the internet, dude. The percentage of non-redhead lovers is equal to the real-world percentage of redheads. -Joe ---

And the percentage of dolphin/elf porn pictures to dolphin/elf porn enthusiasts are similar as well. What’s your point? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/doctor-horribles-sing-along-blog-question-joss-whedon-spoilers/564248.md?page=1)
