Star Trek - Who is the greatest villian?

[Prince Atom]

I would hesitate to call Mark Lenard's Romulan Commander a villain. I think there is as much honor and integrity in him as in Kirk, but he's not the opposite of Kirk. Neither of them wants a war, but the major flaw in the commander is he won't speak out against it. I have a feeling that Kirk would do anything in his power (or even out of his power) to keep the Federation from declaring a war he thought was unjust or unprovoked.

Say what you want, but I think refusing to betray your honor and your nation is not the mark of a villain....

The K to the H to the A to the N. All the way, baby.


Mark Lenard's Romulan commander was a respected enemy, but not a villain, per se. Given that 'Balance of Terror' was originally written as a WWII submarine teleplay, and then had the serial numbers scractched off and rewrote German into Romulan, that's not as suprising.

As much as I love Khan, I loved Christopher Plummer's Chang just as much so it's a tie for me. Trek 6 was the perfect ending for the old crew and he was a perfect antagonist for Kirk in that movie.

Most horrible villian in all of Star Trek?

Geez that one is easy. Those two writer/producers of course.

Real shame, but they were to busy ruining the borg to do that.

Khan is the man! He could defeat the other villians, or turn them into his lap dog henchmen!

The Borg Queen, cheap ST rip off of the Alien queen to play to the masses, yea, they gave her a personality but it went against all things Borg, sex sells! But then they could not have Seven of Nineif they did something different.

I liked the Borg Queen...

... so shoot me {or phaser, whatever}.

By that time the Borg had been so throughly ruined I enjoyed the sensual, very Clive Barker-ish Cenobite take on the personified Borg collective.

I though they were the most effective as villians in their first episode, when they had no voice, no commication w/the Enterprise at all {unless you count the cube dissecting part of the saucer section as if it were a large bug}.

Though hearing the now-cliched "Resistance is futile" line for the first time in the belly of the beast, or hearing Picard as Locutus speak it Riker, that was nice. Everything after that went steeply downhill.

Also, how about favorite enemy groups/races?I really liked the Founders/Dominion, and Weyoun almost makes the top of my villians list... Great character, but his status as mouthpiece detracts from his ummm, overall villian-ness. One could sympathize w/the Founders reason for pursuing galatic conquest. They were a race of shapeshifters exploited for centuries who entually won independence. And then decided the only way they could ensure their safety and liberty was to dominate every other sentient race they came across. I'm going to stop now before I start to draw any parallels which might get me and this thread into trouble {and I'm not saying the Founders were wrong, mind you...}
