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

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.

The time stamps on his posts seem to support that theory. His last edit on the other thread was performed 5 minutes after he created this one.

The beast was very cheesy.

I liked the Kadeshi + the evil empire (Taiidan/Kushan, depending on who you played as) in the original Homeworld.

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.

Heh

Well my vote is for Ravel Puzzelwell from Planescape Torment. That's one crazy Night Hag

[Taristin]

Well, you wanna talk about scariest.. Resident Evil 2: When you're clair in the Police station, and that metal dude busts through the wall n front of you. Scared the crap outta me...

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:

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.

Oh my god, I used to watch that as a kid and loved every second of it, it was such a nice show! Thanks for reminding me (logs onto EBay in search of the VHS release..)

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.

[Fineus]

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

I think that the borg will always be the most memorial enemy because the sort of powers that they had assimilating technology, having massive ships, etc.

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.

Or memorial in the way that Beramn and Braga raped them, flushed them down the toilet, stuck a knife up their ass and all the way through their heart then doing some kind of satanic river dance on them, then introducing them to Voyager.....

[Grey Wolf]

I blame the writer of First Contact in addition to Brannon and Braga.

[Knight Templar]

meh, at least they were still bad-ass in that movie. The Queen addition sucked, yes, but at least it wasn't the whole Janeway-Nemesis, found off a cube or 3 with our uber-photon torpedos thing... ugh.

[Makil Heru]

I agree they killed the Borg off in one of the dumest ways possible they should have given them a more honorable death.
