Title: Most Memorable Arch-Enemy
Post by: Rampage on July 27, 2003, 09:53:16 am: The last topic relating to this topic was a backfire. (I forgot to post a poll.)

I have collected several sources on several sci-fi materials this community is familiar with. Please poll your most memorable arch-enemy from these sources and post replies regarding them.

Post by: Singh on July 27, 2003, 10:29:57 am: My answer would have to be Lore from TNG.
Although he didn't appear much, he was one hell of a nemesis and could kick Data's @ss anyday!
If you want species specific, then I would have to say either the Dominion from DS9 or the flood from Halo

Post by: pasti on July 27, 2003, 10:44:14 am: Shivans. Why?

1.They have probably unlimited resources or energies to use against enemies.
2. Shivans' don't act like humans or Vasudans. They are unpredictible (with small exeption to mission designers:))

Thats why Shivans are nightmare to anybody, from fighter pilot to highest command of space fleets.

ps. hello all!

Or God. God was kinda overdone, but he was pretty cool- sadistic, near-omnipotent, army of rabid zealot followers. Wouldn't care to take him on, but so long as he stays in fiction that's a thumbs up. Wouldn't mind being him, either- kinda like Blofield but you have to talk in Hebrew.

And why did he let 2 Goa'Uld motherships be destroyed by a single SG team and some Jaffa? And why did he lose almost every single encounter with SG-1? The only thing he does is rely on technological superiority. Something that should've been proven unsuccessfull after the first few tries :p

Post by: an0n on July 27, 2003, 01:37:27 pm: If it wasn't for the Replicators he'd have whupped the **** out of everyone in the whole goddamn galaxy.

He coulda been like "Yeah, nice ship Anubis. *BLAOW*" and had like 50 of his super-ships (which require no fancy, rare power sources to run) show up and blast the **** out of the etherial mofo.

Title: Most Memorable Arch-Enemy
Post by: diamondgeezer on July 27, 2003, 05:38:55 pm: You know when the Asguard had that planet full of Replicators stuck in a time warp, and the damn things 'evolved' in to people? Did they ever un-gay them after that, or was that then end of a quality enemy? I mean, the Borg were the **** in TNG... but they sucked copious egg in Voyager. Except for that first encounter, where they're watching a probe's telemetry and suddenly they've got a screen full of cube...

Zordrak was also a good baddie:

Title: Most Memorable Arch-Enemy
Post by: an0n on July 27, 2003, 06:58:14 pm: The Replicators 0wn.

They're now impervious to all forms of attack. With the possible exception of a black-hole/supernova and other cosmically significant uber-explosions.

If they ever come out of that time-squish thingy, they'll be able to just run amok and ****ing 0wn everything.

And if the SG-Gods decide that they've gone the way of the Borg, they can just bring back the old Replicators saying they were in another part of the universe when the big freeze went down.

Title: Most Memorable Arch-Enemy
Post by: Grey Wolf on July 27, 2003, 07:20:51 pm: Question on the Borg: Are they the great, distributed-mind setup from TNG, or the dumb, hive-queen setup from Voyager?

Anyway, there have been quite a few interesting science fiction enemies. I found Q rather interesting in the first few seasons of TNG, and the alliance against the Atreides in "Dune Messiah" was rather interesting.
Title: Most Memorable Arch-Enemy
Post by: Fineus on July 27, 2003, 07:25:48 pm: Oh.. almost forgot.

Nobodies mentioned one of the all time "greats" of arch-enemy fiction. The Master from Doctor Who.

This guy had it all, a sense of humor from time to time - but he was still a generally evil person. This is bound to raise the Daleks - but I reckon The Master was better.

Also:

His Divine Shadow: Lexx
Bester: Babylon 5
Agent Smither: The Matrix
Pinhead: Hellraiser Series
The Emporer / Darth Vader: Star Wars

YES!!!! When I posted that other post, I recognized that I had forgotten to post a poll. So I changed the contents of the post to read "Please Delete This Post." Then, after I posted this thread, I changed my first post again with a link to this thread.

Also, when I talk about arch-enemy, I really mean an enemy that's unpredictable and/or mysterious. I personally wouldn't specify the Dominion or the Cardassians as an arch-enemy, but rather as a regular run-of-the-mill enemy, for they weren't as enigmatic as say, the Borg.

I remember when HW: Cataclysm was due to enter stores, PC Gamer had a review on the game. On the last page in the corner, they had a comparison between the Borg and the Beast called "Assimilation Showdown". It said something like this:

"...the Beast was just a spinoff of the Borg... Plus, who wouldn't be scared of a giant cube in space?"

Post by: diamondgeezer on July 29, 2003, 02:16:39 pm: It's true about Galvatron. I never realised that he wasn't actually Megatron until I found a website with the complete history of the Transformers, from Primus' battle with Unicron right up until Unicron's final defeat. Nor did I realise quite how mental Galvatron was. The guy was nuts.

Anyway, back to nemises (that actually a word?). I present Lambert's nemesis:

Huh? Not Megatron? He admits to being megatron in the comics (In Target 2006 while torturing Jazz IIRC) and we quite clearly see him being changed in the movie.

I agree about him being nuts though. He was quite different from Megatron. Look at what he did to Starscream compared with what Megatron usually did (i.e slap him about and generally show him who's boss but not do any huge damage to him)

Post by: adwight on August 02, 2003, 12:48:01 am: The Shivans, in Freespace 1, when you were pretty much fighting a losing battle, it just seemed like the Shivans were the biggest nemesis ever... Freespace 1 and 2 are still the only games that I have ever gotten butterflies in my stomach due to the story, and fighting against the big bad shivans, and the holy SH!T factor to them, they are just that awesome... And the shivan are just scary, especially in the hall-fight scene. I had nightmares about that one...

Agreed. Perhaps not the most efficient (SG-1 would be dead by now) nor the most downright scary (Anubis gives me the shivers, seen his face?), but certainly most memorably. He gave SG-1 more than a run for their money over... how many seasons was he? I simply cannot attach anything good to the name 'Apophis' anymore. :D

The only thing is... After 14 years of war, when we were totally strapped, with only a very few fighters left, and the shivans came for us... things seemed more desperate. FS1 made me fall in love with the game. FS2 wasn't half as good to me. The technology made things more interresting, and the gameplay was faster paced and the like, and I did enjoy it. But that feeling of exasperation wasn't there. There was only a 14(18?) month war that time around, and many many many more recruits from all of the colonized systems. I find it difficult to believe that with all of the smallscale battles we saw, and all of the resources we had, the best we could come up with is that lame ass cap gun... "colossus"...:doubt:

If you get what I'm trying to say. (32 years of resource gathering and R&D, and we waste it)

but the best nememsis has to Khan from Star Trek II. It is still the best of the Treks, and very few movies have come close to replicating that epic space battle between the Enterprise and the Reliant.

As for the ultimate evil, well this dude is evil:hopping:
