What polarity can we reverse today?

I'm curious, has anyone seen the new show Andromeda... if so what do you think about it? Personally I like it quite a bit, it seems "up-to-date" on tech (although still sci-fi), armor not shields... missiles are kings & you better have point defense... nanotech everywhere... lots of genetic manipulation, etc. I'll admit the "slipstream" is a bit hokey, but o'well.

I watched TNG, I liked DS9 best but Voy is decent. B5 rules though!

Who is your favorite arch-villain from the four ST series? Trellane (sp?) certainly had flair. Holo Moriarty was good. But my favorite is still omnipotent Q. Do you remember the episode when Q causes the warp core breech just to test if the child of two Q has their powers? When they asked Q what would have happened if she hadn't contained the explosion that would have destroyed the entire ship, Q replied,"Well, then I would have known she wasn't a Q"

Of course, the ultimate villain was whichever writer ignored the pleas of all of us asking for the death of Wesley Crusher and instead deified him... *sigh*

Yeah, I likd Q as well bcause he wasn't so much evil, just Subscribed to a whole different set of priorities.

Lore was pretty good as well- nothing like an evil doppleganger to mix things up=-)

I'm thinking... Wesley Crusher.

Oh... You said favorite villian... How about just a villian, or vile entity? There is nothing favorite about him.

Ceska (sp?) from STV was pretty good. Such a slimey traitor. Unmatched deceitfulness.

The power politics of the two Klingon sisters from STTNG & STDS9 was pretty good, too.

Q didn't make a good villain for me. He wasn't really mean or even unfeeling. Wouldn't have been such a bad guy at all if he weren't so powerful.

IMHO, the best short-term (one episode and a movie) villain was Khan, and the best long-term villain was Gul Dukat. Each of them had admirable qualities, but their lust for power and revenge drove them to extreme evil.
