Noone quibble,its just for fun and i'm bored!

Its just gauging opinion, in terms of peoples' favourite baddies, in terms of coolness, character, menace, severity of threat, guile etc, lightweight stuff

Borg Queen without doubt.

Though the most awesomeness award would have gone to Khan. KHHHHHAAAAANNNN!!

The Cardies as a whole were pretty generic Space Nazis, but Dukat and Garak were brilliant - the former because you never tell whoes side he was on (apart from his own), and the latter by his continued insistence that he was just "plain, simple Garak" even when the cat was well and truly out of the bag.

There's no Khan so I voted for the Tholians. Nothing compares to the old TOS characters, they have a certain undefinable essence about them.

Damn, i really should have put; Khan and his augments, as an option.
It didn't spring to mind, as i don't really like TWOK.

Darn, that's a tough one. It took me a while to decide between Dukat and the Cardies, and Weyoun and the Dominion; but in the end I went with the Dominion.
So...any other Weyoun fans out there?

i'm a weyoun fan, for his ability to mix trivialities with the profoundly serious, but even more so, am a jeffrey coombs fan, for 're-animator' and 'the frighteners'

I went for Dukat et. al. While the Cardies were not the toughest opposition to face, Dukat and Garak were true evil pleasures to watch as characters.

Meh, the cardassians are mediocre villains, mostly uninspired. Besides, they're B&B evil, AKA, the diet coke of evil.

I went for the Tholians, though I would have picked Khan were he there, for several reasons.
1) They're one of the few unusual creatures we've ever seen in Trek.
2) They're not 'mwahahahaha!' evil, more of a quiet, subtle, scheming evil.
3) They're inteligent. Most Trek vilains barely qualify as sentient.
4) They didn't need to be some Federation-destroying threat to be evil in their own way.

That's why Tholians are my favourite race from Trek. They're evil, with style.

Truth to tell, I probably wouldn't have considered the Tholians to be actual villains.

Sionnach Glic · Post by **Sionnach Glic** » Sat Oct 06, 2007 9:38 pm

True, another reason I like them. They're more of an uncaring group that really dosen't give a damn what's going on outside their borders. Neutral, but isolationist.

I'd say the Tholians actions in In a Mirror, Darkly were pretty vilanous though. Opening a tear in the space-time continuum just to steal a ship from another universe?

Is that villainous, or smart?

Granitehewer · Post by **Granitehewer** » Sat Oct 06, 2007 9:43 pm

are the notions of 'good' and 'evil', 'hero' and 'villain', objective, or subjective?

Both. 8)

Wouldn't that mean in the normal universe that they're actually nice guys, then?
