I think the Operative is the best. He's polite, intelligent, compassionate, and completely ruthless. He will not hesitate to kill, but will apologize and try to comfort who he's killing at the same time. He's also great because he's a mirror of Mal. He believes that what he's doing is best for everyone, and will stop at nothing to finish it. He only wants to make the 'verse a better place.
Niska comes in second. He's got that Grandfatherly look, combined with the strange accent, combined with sadistic psychosis. Plus, he gets all philosifical(is that a word?). What's not to love?
You're welcome on my boat. God ain't.

HANDS OF BLUE! The coolest villains in the show. Too bad they weren't in the film. There just wasn't enough of em.

Please do not judge me by this next sentence: My favorite villain would have to be Simon Tam. Yes, I know he's one of the good guys, but to quote Sir Alec Guinness "Many things that we consider true depond on ourpoint of view". You see, from the aliances perspective Simon and River are outlaws, bandits, vandils, villains, desperado's..., but my point is that acording to the aliance the Tams are villains. But that Doesn't really fit the question.
I would be lying if I said that I didn't have some pretty strong feeling about Early. I don't mean "Boy, I sure wish that he would come back in another episode" feelings, I mean "Boy, I sure wish that Early had died a more humiliating death". You see, when I saw the engine room scene of Objects In Space, where he threatens Kalee, my blood started to boil. The thing is one of my freinds is the spitting image of Kalee. Believe me when I say she could pass for Kalee's younger sister. She has the same hair color and hair style as Kalee, along with a face that is pretty simalar to Kalee's. Plus she has the same cheerful disposision. I can easily see why Simon's got the hots for her. Anyways, I despise Jubile Early as much as I like my freind who might be related to the enginear. If I lived in the 'Verse, I can garantee you that if I ever ran into Early there would probably be a fight and I would probably walk away with a few injuries, but Early would carried to boot hill with a 12-guage three inch magnum round of "OO" buchshot in his gut, with the permission of the Captain of course. Early deffinately gets my vote for the villain I love to hate.

Also, if the Fedral Government is monitoring this site I would to emphasize that my previous post was not a threat of any kind, nor was it directed at anyone whatsoever. I was simply trying to convey how much I dislike a Fictional character on a television series.
this is my one version of the screen play for Rambo First Blood:
(sherif)
(Jon Rambo)
[rambo escapes to woods}
(Jon Rambo) 
(deputys)
(Jon Rambo) 
This pretty much sums up the shooting, swearring and hand to hand combat in the movie.

...nothing scares me more then Reavers. Nothing. From my first introduction to the show VIA the Reavers...I was horrified of them. While the first time I watched Bushwacked I wasn't too scared because of the whole oh-so-happy-to-finally-have-the-DVD's...but after that...
Now, if we're talking humans, I gotta say, I have to go with Badger. He's at the centerpeice of a chapter of a story a friend of mine and I are working on. (No, it will never get poasted...it's a mass crossover and a HORRABLE example of self insersion at it's most blatiant) not to mention my debates with Cryx about Badger's very EXISTENCE! (don't ask...long story. Actully, short, but bizzare)
HOWEVER...the Oprative is increadable. My favorite quote from the movie commentary is about him...sadly...I can't remember it terrablly clearly off the top of my head.
Gorramit.

If we are counting the film it has to be the operative he just rules and is one of the most believable villians ive ever seen in a film his justification for his actions sound like the reasoning of a sane man in control who knows what he does and why he does it "i am a monster" scene is classic i was half convinced by his arguement and plus "this is a good death" scene is probaly the most creepy and gloriying way to die. Plus minor showing off but i know the actor who plays the operative so a he just happened to be a family friend and i didnt know he was in the film and then i saw it and i was pretty darn shocked anyway havent seem him since and i really want to drool on him or something so bit byest but he does rule like no other.
IF tv series alone has to be early crazy but just sane enought to be really crazy (if that makes sense).
"am i a lion" - early

Early. He's one of the few villains I want to really really really see come back. Yeah, it would be interesting to see a story arc involving a "rehabilitated" YoSaffBrig, and surely Niska, but He's in my mind by far the coolest. The other two are the Hands of Blue and The Operative, but its for sure Early.
If anyone gets nosy...Shoot em.
Shoot em sir?
Politely.

I don't know if there actually was a poll at one time that I missed, but I'll give you my opinion anyways hehe
The Reavers get my vote as the best villains. They're truly terrifying. Early would have this slot, I mean he has a choice in what he does, in what he's become. I don't think the Reavers have that much soul or mind left to do so. But Early, he's so horrible I can't bring myself to give him the vote. Somehow in my mind that would be like a reward for him, just can't justify it.
So really I vote Reavers to spite the character Early, who should really get it.

This is gorram hard. I think though that I will go with Jubal. He's the one villain that I both hate and love. I love how just strange but really facinating he is. His whole dialog about the room is brilliant. But I also hate him for his threating of Kaylee. I love Kaylee, and seeing that scene in the engine room almost made me cry. You should have seen me, I screaming at the tv (well monitor :-) "NO!!! OH GOD NO!!!!" That moment was so well written and acted it gets me every time. So Jubal wins my vote. Plus how can you forget, "Am I a lion?" Good times.

Jubal Early: The guy who played Early (can't remember his name, sorry) was also in Good vS. Evil and guest starred in an episode of Brimstone. It's funny though, he always seems to appear in series that get cancelled.
YoSaffBridge: How can you not love the woman? And the crew's reactions to her are priceless.
At last.
We can retire and give up
this life of crime.
