Favorite Trek Villain...

You do NOT want to hear my attempts at rhyming.

We watch other movies and someone tries to make a speech, and we look at each other and go “They need Theoden King.” The other scene, too, in Two Towers…

"Where is the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? They have passed like rain on the mountain, like wind in the meadow. The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow. How did it come to this? "

Gives me chills even just reading it.

Viggo’s problem - and Aragorn’s - was he isn’t really cut out to be a leader, so much as a loner. And much as I think he is one of the hottest men in that movie, that silly breastplate just doesn’t cut it.

Did I wander into the wrong thread? I thought we were talking about Trek villains…

I know. I’m sorry. But I really blame points finger dramatically Malacandra, who brought it up first!

I’ll quit hijacking now. Back to your regularly scheduled thread.

Actually, a better choice for The Look of Spock Love comes in the denoument of Requium for Methuselah, when Spock deletes the pain of Rayna’s demise from Kirk’s … soul (?) …

:dubious:

The Hobbits weren’t gay, but it sure seems like the actors playing them were directed to gay it up a bit, no?

And here we see the greatest of all Star Trek villians, Distraction… all one needs to defeat any of the Trek heros is some form of illicit sexual distraction, real or imagined, such that everyone involved starts thinking about other things.

I give you, Ilia, The Komoloid, Uhura’s fan dance as prime examples.

The Komoloid = sexual distraction
Uhura = sexual disgustion

She gained weight in that movie! I did not need to see that!

Ira told her, “I want to see more of you on the set.”

She thought, “Okay, I’ll gain weight.”
