selenakFound on my lunchbreak:
Make a list of your favorite pairings and explain who would pick up the socks and why.
A question for the ages. Hm, let's see.
Londo/G'Kar (Babylon 5): Narn do not wear socks. Londo, on the other hand, is the type who has never learned to clean up after himself. But then again, he's not so insensitive or stupid as to miss the "servant" connotation this would have for G'Kar. So clearly, in season 5, neither Londo or G'Kar pick up the socks; Vir does.
Hank McCoy/Abigail Brand(Astonishing X-Men): Brand's a soldier and used to clean up after herself. Whether or not Hank wears socks probably depends on how much issues he has about his secondary mutation on any given day, but I think most times, he wouldn't. So I say Brand does.
Angel(us)/Darla (BTVS and AtS): Depends on which stage of their relationship we're talking about. Early on, she definitely made him pick up her stockings and he definitely used them to tie her arms (or tie up the next victim). Mostly they simply picked up new ones from new victims, being fashion fiends, and left old stockings and socks behind. During the 20 years they were four, Spike was the one saddled with luggage duty, which included everyone's socks. During the period when Darla was human and Angel was obsessively sketching and pursuing her for greater justice, he would have picked up socks if he had ever found some, but he didn't. His epiphany came with his Angel thing of being a jerk the morning after, which left Darla with sock duty in addition to getting kicked out. But! When she returned in the last stage of her pregnancy, it would have been Angel's turn with the socks again; unfortunately, Wolfram and Hart's spies confiscated them as a means to figure out why a vampire could get pregnant. No, I don't understand the logic there, either. Ask Lilah.
David/Keith (Six Feet Under): David, of course. I mean, have you met David? Seen a single episode featuring him? He probably has nightmares about lone socks coming after him.
Doctor/Master (Doctor Who): ah, but which regenerations combined with which regenerations are we talking about? Let's go through only the big three for brevity's sake.
a) Third Doctor/Delgado!Master: the Doctor suspects the Master of using the socks for his next world domination scheme, so confiscates them before they even get to the real action.
b) Fifth Doctor/Ainley!Master: that stint as Crispy!Master plus being in Tremas' body have left Ainley!Master not only more crazy, but also with a fashion fetish. Naturally he picks up the socks to rant about.
c) Tenth Doctor/Simm!Master: leaving aside artificiallly aged up states, neither of these two stops talking and/or being hyper long enough to take their socks off, so there.
