saffron

crow

I say Jubal Early. That man gave me nightmares.

My husband says Niska is the best villain. I told him, however, that his vote may not count since he doesn't frequent this site.

Niska. Creepy old guy who tortures, and that little fact that he killed Mal or at least was the employer of someone who did. I think that counts.

You do as I say 'cause I said it!

est120, and 'coats:

Much as I'd like to vote for Saffron, as usual, I really can't see her as a villain. I see her as more of a 'bad girl', who needs a good spankin' is all (we can take turns).

So, Niska? Nah. He talks tough and is properly psychotic; but only when the other guy is tied up. One-on-one, he's a pussy.

Crow? Too stupid to be scary. Good comic relief, though.

So, I guess I'm voting for Early. Threatened rape and cruelty to animals is pretty sick. Is it wrong that I liked his character so much?

Respectfully,

zoid

Got to cast my vote for Early. I know he was a villian, but his manner of speaking and coolness were a might unsettlin'. I think the character has a lot of potential if he ever surfaces again.

While I like all of the specific bad guys that we'd gotten to know by name, I'm going to vote for the "two-by-two, hands of blue" guys. Think about it. We don't know anything about them except that they use that little thingamabob to fry/explode (or whatever - apparently very painfully) the brain of anyone who's had even the most remote contact with River - even their own Alliance people. What do you think they'd do with our little crew when they find out that River's been with them all for months?

I'm gonna have to agree with bikisdad on this one; the Blue Hands are the best villains, hands down (bad pun definitely not intended. . .I think). Sure, Jubal Early, Niska, and Saffron are great characters, but the Blue Hands have a certain menace about them because they're so mysterious. Watch the scene in "Ariel" again where Jayne, Simon, and River are fleeing the hospital, being pursued by something, which the audience knows are the Blue Hands. That scene, IMHO, is the creepiest portrayal of a villain ever put on film. The Blue Hands look human, but there's something just a bit off about them. Watch the look of fear on the characters' faces when they realize that something is in the next room; they're just not quite sure what.

Hmmm. Let's see. Here's a twist on the best villain: Jayne. The despicable act of betrayal for his own selfish gain in Ariel. Best guest star is tough. They were all so good. Joss really lucked out in that regard. Gorram it!! Ok, the standouts were Richard Brooks as Early, Mark A. Sheppard as Badger.
