Jubal is a great villain. Entertaining to listen to as well.

Can't believe nobody's said it yet, but Tracey gets my vote for most "villainous", the guy turns out to be a budder****er in every sense of the word.
In the war, we get a glimpse of this when he thinks of himself first, voting to surrender, screaming about his own shellshock from the seeker, his attitude toward Zoe's "preaching"...and it just gets worse, he gets into smuggling organs, *then* screws over his underworld contacts for more money, *then* involves the only people who ever cared for him, in aiding his escape (cash on delivery, mind you, didn't even pay to ship his own death-crate), then shoots Wash, threatens to shoot Mal and Zoe, emotionally blackmails Kaylee and uses her as a hostage...
Sorry, this is the one character who had every gorram chance given to him, and kept throwing it away in the hopes of bettering himself. This is one guy I feel no pity for.

Yeah, Tracey is very villainous and would get my vote if Jubal never came about.

Jubal Early, no question about it for me. I've basically memorized all of his lines. It's interesting how he's written to be this ruthless, purely evil character, but there's something really humorous in the way he messes with Simon. Those, "Does that seem right to you, "lines are the greatest ever!
A close second would be Niska, and unfortunately the Hands of Blue weren't fully introduced because they look really interesting, like something straight out of the X-files.

I am evil, I am sly, and if you get eaten no one will cry.

Niska is the best villain. he tortures his own nephew and then talks to his wife about it. he kills mal and then brings him back to torture him some more. when he sends his henchmen to capture mal and wash, he doesn't even recover the medicine container. he's single mindedly evil, and he finds amusement in his depravity. you know that if there was a continuation of the series, we'd see niska again and again. he's just too good of an evil monster to let go.

Badger popped into my head before I even read the list. He insults Mal and still expects Mal to do a job for him. When he said, "I got my hands on a pair", it was pure gold. Niska could not pull that line off. Badger is one of a kind.
I also love how his reaction to River. He was so taken by her that he didn't even realise he was being insulted.
I'm sure if the show had continued Badger would have appeared in several more episodes.

Hey Whimsicalnbrainpan:
How's everything in your part of the verse. No Jubol Earlys' lurking about.
Sorry. I just love typing your name.
You may carry on now.

Hey Traveler
everything is pretty shiny. I hope you can say the same.
BTW, I loved Ponette! The little girl was amazing! Thanks for the recommendation.
I think it's great that you love my name so much.
