Originally posted by Thunderstorm View PostThat's a great term. Capture my fascination of him perfectly. You'd think with the hell he put Crichton thru that we'd really just hate him but they balance it so well that while I'm not sure I am sympathetic for him, I want to see more of him and I can't imagine Farscape without him.
I do wonder what he is mentally going thru with the having to constantly battle the Scarran half of his psyche. And the physical torment of body with the Scarran half craving the heat and the Peacekeeper half needing to be cool.

I loved the way I was pulled too and fro in my opinions of him through the course of the show’s run. I too can’t imagine Farscape without him.
IMO, Farscape without Scorpius = not as good of a show.sigpic

I definetly have Scorpius at the top of my list of all-time favorite villains. I rank DS9's Gul DuKat and Scorpius as the top 2. Not only are both characters similar in some ways, but they both have a poetic/shakespearean side to there personailties that make them both extra creepy.

Interesting in that you say Scorpius and DuKat are at the top of your list of villains. Great minds think alike is what I say!!! Stargate's Baal is up there for me too. Even though he wasn't developed in character as much as the other two he does have the same essence of unpredictablity and interest grabbing 'evilness' about him.

Great Minds Think Alike indeed!. The similarities between DuKat and Scorpius are many. Not only do they have that "poetic Shakespearean side" (that is a good description statement brother Starbase), but they both were willing to destroy anything and everything to achieve there goals. They were also both smart, arrogant, and condescending megalomaniacs.
Baal was more stable and willing to make light of himself than either DuKat or Scorpius. Even though I wouldn't say Baal was that similar to DuKat and Scorpius, he has a marvelous style of his own.

Can't argue with your descriptions of our favourite villains. I still feel Baal has the same qualities. Both he and Scorpius got my attention when first introduced in the same way, both torturing the hero to get information that both heroes were unaware they had!! Both villains as merciless as eachother. Each have their own way of wrong footing the viewer, making them such watchable personifcations of evil.

Scorpius and Gul DuKat are both so twisted and different than every other villain alien that I have ever seen on any scifi series.

Yeah Scropius was one of the most interest vilians in scifi. I agree with the comments above.
A comment about season 3 episode 21 in spoilers:
Spoiler:I am not sure which episode this is from. When Criton went aboard the command carrier to help scropius with the worm hole tech. My point, at the end of the episode the ship is bieng destroyed. Crition was by his ship when scropius walks up to him with the look that he might kill him. But he gave him the code to the restriants. Scropius had the look that you won this round.
I thought that was interesting
