i dont know if this has been done before but im new so forgive my ignorance. I think we should have a debate over who the best Firefly villain is. The nominees are-
Jubal Early
Niska
Saffron
Patience
The reavers
and any others you can think of (even Jayne if youre feeling fruity). I personally would go for Saffron because shes such a bitch! she is excellent at her job and just when you think shes shown signs of humanity she turns out to be that bitch again. So, best villains

Jubal Early. That scene with Kaylee in the engine room is forever burned into my memory. I think I can pretty much quote it word for word, and it still makes me shudder when I watch it.

When he says have you ever been raped i was almost as afraid as her. Kaylee is so vulnerable in that scene. Jewel Staite plays it so well

Man is by far stronger than woman, yet only woman can make a child; that seem right to you?

It's Jubal Chrisisall

Jewel was incredible in that scene. I've never been able to forget the look of terror on her face during that scene.

Kaylee: The c-captrain is right down the hall, the can h-hear you...
Jubel: The captain is locked in his quaters. Same as the rest of the crew. There's no one can help you. Say it.
Kaylee: (crying) There's no one can help me...

Not sure if Badger counts, if he does I'd have to say he's my favorite. You know, fancy hat, roots in the community and such.
Another villian I have to give credit is the Operative. I can't say why I like him, maybe cause he's so calm and intelligent. In the BDM when Mal first meets him the Operative is great. Mal questions his tactis and the Operative explains exactly how Mal would respond very quickly. Then of course claims he's unarmed and is shot is quite hilarious.

Jewel is a fantastic actress, really a shame she doesn't get more roles.

That's one that seems to get tougher the more I think about it...

Jubal's one of those villains that I'd love to hate. Just wanted to rip his lungs out after that scene with Kaylee, but by the end of the ep, I was sort of wondering if he'd somehow manage to survive and show up later on in the series.

And you can't forget about Badger... ;p

Really, really liked the Operative, though. (Chiwetel Ejiofor is a really great actor anyways, so that helps.) Sort of a sympathetic villain, really. Agreed, it's hard to put my finger on it, but there's that sense of compassion and intelligence about him... quite possibly the last man in the 'verse I'd want gunning for me.

The Bounty Hunter philosopher is by far the most well written villian since the Mayor in season 3 Buffy.

Jubal Early. #1

Do not fear me. Ours is a peaceful race, and we must live in harmony.
