I looked it up in a proper independent dictionary for you: 'evil' means 'profound immorality and wickedness, especially when regarded as a supernatural force'. There's nothing supernatural about Servalan, so that doesn't apply in any way 'Immorality' means 'not conforming to accepted standards of morality' and of course a Supreme Commander cannot be limited by what is 'accepted', otherwise she'd never get anything done 'wicked' can have a variety of meanings, including 'playfully mischievous', as in 'a wicked sense of humour', which of course, Our Glorious Leader demonstrates so delightfully in her dealings with Avon in particular. You can't quibble with the facts, OSP. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

But then, I used the characterisation as used by Jacks Pearce herself. She enjoyed playing the female baddy and entertained us, fans, proudly with her chats about it in panels and in private. I've met her several times and I can assure you that she wasn't evil in real life. No, I am not. I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.
