Greatest TV Villain Ever

[boutte]

i got his idea from a post by Tcragg in another thread. He says Ben is the greatest TV villain ever.

Is he right? Who else should be on the list? I'll have to think about it some before I nominate anyone.

this guy should be a contender lol!

[boutte]

OK here's three, Skylar from Heros, Balter from Battle Star Galactica and his blonde Cylon girl friend.

Oh yeah, the bad guy from Lost in Space. You have to be a hundred years old to remember him though.

[rachelskid]

tv only or movies?

i would nominate Emerson again, but for his role on the Practice as a crazy serial killer guy.

movies, i'd say hanibal lecter or jack nicholson in the shining.

I was thinking TV only. There are just way too many movie villains.

[bunnydixon]

t-bag from prison break? he was a fun villian :)

[tcragg]

Yes, Pinky and the Brain. Of course.

Sylar in Heroes was great until that show started to completely suck.

More...

Dallas: JR

Superman: Lex Luthor

Batman: The Joker, The Penguin

Prison Break: T-Bag

Oz: Adibisi

the Simpsons: Mr. Burns, Unibrow baby

Entourage: Seth Green as himself

Family Guy: the Chicken

[JfromtheD]

Dallas: JR

Ooh... good one!

Good ones .

[tcragg]

Yes, the Smurfs! Gargamel!! Animated villains should have their own category. Who was the bad guy in Inspector Gadget? He was good. The Decepticons, Snake Eyes, Mumra, the list goes forever with 80s cartoons alone.

I was thinking about this more and I figured out Ben's equal:

JOHN LITHGOW in anything.

He is a nerd like Emerson, and yet he's still badass. Dexter is pretty good, but I didn't really get into it. He's frightening. Even when he made Harry go into the woods. think about it.

He played a great villain on Dexter. His role was over pretty quick though. Dexter is a great villain too.

Oh, my dear boy, Snake Eyes was a hero! And, IIRC, the villain in Inspector Gadget was Dr. Claw. Yeah, animated baddies could be their own category.:D

I knew that was wrong when I wrote it, was thinking of course of cobra commander. I loved GI Joe, thats why I boycotted the movie version.

Ethan?

or

Keamy

Now that I think about it Ben has some pretty stiff competition on Lost.

[JfromtheD]

This is a fun 'memory jog.' :cool:

So far, I think J.R. Ewing is my front runner...

[tcragg]

Ethan, Keamy and Widmore are solid, but Ben was always on another level.

JD>>
I am a Smurfs fan, not that there's anything wrong with that.

[JfromtheD]

My only issue with Ben Linus, (besides recent developments) is that we saw him as a kid, and how he was treated.

... villains should never be 'felt sorry for.'

[boutte]

This is a fun 'memory jog.' :cool:

So far, I think J.R. Ewing is my front runner...
I think Sylar is the worst. T-Bag was pretty terrible too.

Let's not forget the Smoking Man from the X-Files.

[JfromtheD]

It's all good. I tease, but I'm confident I've watched worse. :D

See, that's where my ignorance, hinders me... I don't really know them.
(except for smoking man)

[boutte]

Sylar is from Heros which I haven't watched in 2 years and T-Bag is from Prison Break which sucked big time after the first season.

[JfromtheD]

I've watched Heroes a couple of times.

But I can't give them a nod for 'best ever.' I'm just not familiar enough.

[chester]

Movie: Azazel, from 'Fallen'.

TV: Smokey.

Maybe they're the same? ;)

you don't know smokey is a villian. :D

[tcragg]

I just dropped an A bomb on Season 6 forum. HAHAHA. So funny, but my thought is, 'Is Kate Austen the best TV Villain ever?'

Her 'slutty' behavior, back and forth and acting have got a lot of people hoping she dies.

I don't care either way, she's hotness personified.

oh geezzz:rolleyes: she's not slutty. she is just lame and moronic. her acts are selfish to the core and completely nonsensical.

the real slut is sawyer, but we love him anyway. :D sluttiness is a virtue to be valued. :D

[chester]

He just killed all those people at the temple...:p

I'm with you Rachelskid. No double standards for me. Not until I have a daughter at least.

I hope all the female characters left are spared, unlike the others before them.

T-Bag was one of the most despicable characters ever!

Ben: So? :p

Al Swearington. Deadwood.

Oooo Eric Northman, True Blood

[rachelskid]

Oooo Eric Northman, True Blood

Eric is not a villain. :(

he's hot. :D

[boutte]

Eric is not a villain. :(

he's hot. :D
Are you sure? What about Maryann?

[stargazer]

Eric is not a villain. :(

he's hot. :D

Oh I completely agree, but hes baaaaaaaaaaaad:D

[stargazer]

Are you sure? What about Maryann?

Oh yeah, shes worse for sure. And DEAD!

[boutte]

Number 6 Tricia (Helfer's character on BSG) killed a baby in stroller and laughed while she did it.

Should we consider Saiid a villain now?

[rachelskid]

Are you sure? What about Maryann?

yes, yes. Maryann is a villain. i agree. and she is a hottie, i can see that too.

Oh I completely agree, but hes baaaaaaaaaaaad:D

i just don't think Eric is bad. he has done some sh!tty things, but also some good ones too. i like Eric so much better then Bill. come to think of it, Bill v. Eric is a LOT like Jack v. Sawyer. hmmmmmm

[JohnQ]

My favorite TV villain was The Grinch, and I kinda hate that he turned good at the end.
My favorite movie villain was HAL in 2001. I know it's a computer, but I view him as a villain. Hannibal Lecter wins best human villain, unredeemable.

[JfromtheD]

I don't care either way, she's hotness personified.

She's a set of implants away from being a "10."

[rachelskid]

She's a set of implants away from being a "10."

:eek::eek::eek:
:confused:

wha??? sheesh. tough crowd.

[JfromtheD]

Sorry, I just got bored of talking about killing her.
Figured, I'd change things up a little... :D

[rachelskid]

let's go back to talking about her imminent demise instead. :)

OUCH. :p poor evie.

[notsolost42]

My vote for greatest television villian of all times has to be Jack Nicholson in anything.

[LostShark4970]

Man... You guys seem to have caught them all. So many good names on this list. i am going to go with John Lithgow as the Trinity killer on Dexter. Granted he only had one season, but what a season. In those few episodes he gave me nightmares and chills. Lithgow is brilliant and pulled of a twisted serial killer with style... all the way to his last line... "It's already over."

[LostShark4970]

My vote for greatest television villian of all times has to be Jack Nicholson in anything.

But was Jack ever a t.v. villan? i couldn't recall him in anything.

[JfromtheD]

Maybe not Terms Of Endearment... :D

lmao! You got me there JD!!! :mad::D:cool:

[JfromtheD]

:D I was going to say Hoffa... but he was kind of a jerk, too.

[notsolost42]

Hoffa, wow, I can't even remember that one. :confused: It is vague.

[JfromtheD]

Jimmy Hoffa. And Danny DeVito was in it, too.

Actually, it was filmed here "intheD." :D

[notsolost42]

I really don't remember it much at all! I don't know why either. I like DiVito. He is pretty funny. JHintheD. heeheehee

[LostShark4970]

well, if we are throwing movies in the mix... i will have to counter Jack with Heath... a new Depth to the Joker... and honestly, if i hadnt known it was Heath Ledger, i never would have guessed it. To me his performance was Brilliant... and i would also toss a nod to Christoph Waltz as the "Jew Hunter" in Inglorious Basterds.

[boutte]

Throwing movies in completely changes the whole idea of the thread. I did a thread about that once. I'll see if I can find it.

[beachblinkette]

The character Swearingen from the TV series Deadwood. He made a great Western/Shakespearean villain.

[Junglist]

I always thought this guy was one of the best too:
