I found the entire cast of the Blair Witch Project so utterly unlikeable that I was willing to sit through the tedium so I would witness their deaths, only to be somewhat disappointed.
I’ve never liked her but I’ve never understood the level of psychotic hatred everyone in the universe except for me seems to have for her.
And don’t say it’s because she’s a conniving, condescending, bitchy, sexist domineering woman. Because every single one in the WoT books is.
My own vote would be for Joffrey Barethon, daddy Lannister (can’t remember his name), and Circe Lannister.
If Circe is her name. Joffrey’s mom.
And Theon Greyjoy. And the Bloody Mummers.
Hmm…I seem to be racking up quite a list from the same three books…

I was reading this thread, thinking, “Hmmm, I can’t think of anyone, even a bad guy, who I didn’t sympathize with to some degree, at some point. Can’t think of any I actually hate.”
Then I came across your post. And I immediately thought of Kai Wynn. Ooooooooh! The evilest character in the whole Startrekiverse, and I’m including that puddle of black ooze that ate Tasha Yar, 'cause I at least felt a little sorry for it, 'cause nobody loved it and it was all alone. If anything I hated the sadistic writers, who created the poor thing and crafted its whole miserable existence just to get rid of Denise Crosby, when she coulda just fallen out of an airlock.
But, oooooh, wicked, wicked Kai Wynn! She is the perfect embodiment of everything I everything hateful in a religionist, the oozing self-righteousness, the absolute conviction that she and she alone knows what the Prophets want, the way she abused her power and her position and the Bajorans’ faith. Never ever even the slimmest crack in her smarmy facade to indicate that she might care sincerely about anything but advancing her own agenda.
I still hiss when she appears on screen if we’re watching a re-run. Nasty, manipulative, horrid, horrid woman! Hats off to Louise Fletcher for making me want to strangle her. God, what a perfect performance. It can’t be easy to be so consistently loathesome. And kudos to the writers, too, for not succumbing to the temptation to make her even a little sympathetic.
Oooooooh, how I hate her!
If it helps I hated Sinclair as much as he hates Sheridan.
“Commander, we’re under attack!”
Sinclair gives a shit-eating smirk.
“Captain, there’s a dock workers strike!”
Sinclair gives a shit-eating smirk.
“Commander, everything is running normally.”
Sinclair gives a shit-eating smirk.
“Commander, it’s Thanksgiving.”
Sinclair gives a shit-eating smirk.
“Commander, the commisary is out of tapioca pudding!”
Sinclair gives a shit-eating smirk.
Left to pursue stage acting my ass…

I just watched Rocky Horror Picture Show for the first time. I thought Brad might well be Braaad.
Yes! Yes yes yes! It is to burn with the fiery hatred of ten thousand suns! or something along those lines
I will also put in my vote for Umbridge. I hope she gets Crucio’d until she goes insane.
I would like to also add that damn dog from the old Nintendo game Duck Hunt.
Louise Fletcher is SOOO good at that! Nurse Ratched, Kai Wynn, the grandmother from Flowers in the Attic… Whenever I’d see her as a more benign character (like her character in Big Eden) it was always a bit of a shock.
I was about to say that, but you beat me to it, you bastard.
:mad:
Good analysis.
You know they had to be thinking about it. A few times Bombur reminded him that, without him, they’d be unlucky thirteen again, so I figure he heard the occasional muttering around the campfire. If any of the Company had died at any point, reducing them to 13 anyway, they’d have surely kicked him out on general principles.
I have a hard time taking that detailed of an old TV show seriously after seeing a totally convicing analysis of “Margaritaville” being about rim-jobs.
Said analysis turned out to be a joke.

Good call!
Dr. Zoidberg and Hermes. Zoidberg was a one note joke, and Hermes didn’t even have that much going for him.
Because the other women occasionally blow s**t up. Faile is an obnoxious shrew-harpy AND she’s useless. She also seems to be much worse with the unreasoning jealousy then the others.
I HATE Andy Dufresne from Shawshank Redemption. What a picture perfect guy, no flaws to him whatsoever. His overwhelming inablity to do anything bad other then the bad things he has to do in order to survive just make loathe his guts. Why couldn’t he have a single personal flaw? Why couldn’t he smoke? Or cheat at cards or something. His goody-little-two-shoe-ishness just makes me want to stab him.
Off-topic, and just out of casual curiosity, does your screen name come from TILL WE HAVE FACES?
Yes, indeed.
What did the Dog ever do to you?
Insulting Zoidberg? Them’s fighting words.
Sir, I request you meet me on the field at dawn. Pistols will be provided.
Sure. If you take an RPG like Kotor, it managed to be more “Star Wars” than the last three and a half actual Star Wars movies. Some fantastic dialogue, and very strongly plotted with a couple of genuinely surprising {and neatly foreshadowed} twists, and characters and situations that have a lot more depth or complexity than anything Lucas has come up with in 25 years - arguably ever.
Take Chuundar, the usurping Wookie chieftan who’s selling some of his people to corporation slavers. He’s a nasty corrupt bastard out to bolster his powerbase by betraying or selling off the opposition, but he’s not wholly evil. His arguments - that outside slavery was inevitable and by dealing directly with the slavers rather than fighting them outright and getting massacred he’s managed to preserve at least some of Wookie society - do have a certain merit. He’s definitely bad, but he’s not cartoon black-and-white bad.
Or the Sand People: nasty slave-taking bastards who’ll attack anyone on sight, and certainly not noble savages or simply misunderstood, but their hostility is portaryed as a legitimate grievance against the mining company who showed up on their planet and began digging it up without so much as a by-your-leave: invasion, in their terms, and they’re employing guerilla resistance tactics by attacking miners. You’re left to choose how to deal with them: go in and massacre them, as you’re hired to do, or opt for a more costly and complex negotiated solution?
Yep, definitely a long way from Pac-Man.
It laughed! Little did it know I wasn’t aiming at the ducks…
What DIDN’T the little son of a bitch do?
