Fannish 5, very quickly.

fannish5: Name your five favourite evil characters.

1. Gul Dukat, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Yes, I do count Dukat as "evil". He wasn't an uncomplicated evil, mind you, because the guy did have layers, but ultimately he was a power-mad, somewhat deranged egoist who refused to accept responsibility for the atrocities he committed. However much he loved Ziyal, Dukat was a villain through and through.
   
   
2. The Joker, Batman. I'm particularly fond--well, "fond" in the "creepy bastard, but so damn fascinating" sense of the word--of Mark Hamill's Joker in the DC Animated Universe. Heath Ledger's Joker was also brilliant, but actually a bit too dark for my taste.
   
   
3. Mayor Wilkins, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Best Jossverse villain ever, IMHO! The guy was evil, but he was also the best parent Faith ever had. (Which is pretty sad.)
   
   
4. Jasmine, Angel. While I'm still annoyed by what they did to Cordelia, I really did love the Jasmine arc. It was just... so different and, I dunno, over-the-top in an operatic kind of way, surreal, Lovecraftian. It's been a long time since I re-watched Season 4, though. And I loved Fred going all survivalist--soooo much more interesting than the stupid love triangle.
   
   
5. Tie between: The Borg, Star Trek: TNG, and The Founders, Star Trek: DS9. I'm not really sure I can define the Borg as "evil" when their sense of morality is so completely alien to ours. It's not quite the same with the Founders, because they obviously do understand what it means to be abused and oppressed--their dysfunction is that they'd rather be the abusers than the abused.

My sister and her boyfriend are watching Holmes and Homes, and I keep smiling at the guy's grammar. I mean, this guy is a genius in ways I could never match, so it's not that I'm trying to be condescending--I just can't help noticing his grammar.
