Top 3 Star Trek The Next Generation villains
By Ames
While we’re on our trip down memory lane, started last week when we delved back through the list of our favorite minor characters from Star Trek: The Next Generation, let’s keep following the Enterprise-D wherever she will go. This week, A Star to Steer Her By is focused squarely on the mustache-twirling, maniacal laughing, Picard-torturing villains of TNG! Longtime readers will remember we did the same thing when we highlighted our favorite baddies from The Original Series, so we’re getting on with our bad selves again, ‘90s style!
Adversaries from TNG run the gamut from silly to sinister, brainy to brawny, Ferengi to Romulan, and they’re all worth celebrating… when we’re not getting our asses handed to us at least. Who’s the baddest of the bad? Read on below for our picks and listen to our chatter on this week’s episode of the podcast (discussion at 1:10:04). And watch out for our truest nemesis: blue barrels!

Ames – Massive payouts
Q
Borg Queen
Madred
All of my picks show that if you put time and effort into a character, it’s worth it! We see a great deal of Q, our runaway top omnipotent entity, and every time it’s more of a delight to watch him toy with Jean-Luc. Then Sisko. Then Janeway. Then Jean-Luc again. Similarly, there’s so much that’s intriguing and sexy about the Borg Queen that we bring her back to liven up the Delta Quadrant in Voyager. And the sheer intensity and manipulation of Gul Madred probably did more to pave the way for Deep Space Nine than anything else!

Jake – Badmiral to the bone
Gul Madred
Benjamin Maxwell
Eric Pressman
Jake has a great collection of just fantastic performers to round out his collection of villains. Watching these pros, you might just get lured onto their sides because of how they make their wicked actions seem justified. First off, more of that love/hate for Gul Madred, perfectly carried by the late David Warner. And then a pair of admirals gone wrong from Jake’s famous Evil Admirals blogpost. Both Maxwell and Pressman fight for what they think is right, they just go about it in that patented Badmiral way that you just love to watch.

Chris – Schemers extraordinaries
Duras Sisters
Sela
Gul Madred
If a villain is going to concoct an absolutely hare-brained scheme, you can bet they’re going to end up on Chris’s list. We see some of the weirdest plotting in “Redemption” when the Duras Sisters whip out their feminine wiles to get their nephew installed as Chancellor. Further, you don’t get schemes quite as batty as Romulan schemes, and Sela absolutely dominates the field of Rube Goldberg mechanics that need to go just right. And we have another listing of Gul Madred for the audacity of thinking kidnapping Picard was at all going to work!

Caitlin – Kinky bastards
OG Ferengi
Duras Sisters
Gul Madred
Whips! Cleavage! Bondage! I’m sensing a theme! All of Caitlin’s picks had big nefarious plans that somehow capitalized on people’s baser instincts. The Ferengi of “The Last Outpost” started off so arrogant that they were the superior beings that it took the guardian of the Tkon empire to shut them up and make them put their electric whips away. As mentioned earlier, the duplicitous Duras sisters leaned on their sexuality to attempt their seduce their way into power, and of course now-familiar face Madred just used torture to get his way!

Like K’Ehleyr winning our favorite TNG character last week, it is obvious who our go-to torturer is. Congrats to Gul Madred and his five lights for sweeping all of our lists!
We’ve got one more listicle in the TNG field ready for next week, so get ready to put your support behind your favorite alien race! Make sure you’re also doing the whole podcast thing over on SoundCloud or wherever you listen, following A Star to Steer Her By on Facebook and Twitter, and counting the lights carefully – your life may depend on it.

I’m rewatching Strange New Worlds and this is the end of spock and tpring’s bedroom convo in the first ep:
T’pring: I won’t chase you across the universe just to get married
Spock: there is no need to chase what you already have
And in TOS Spock says to T’pring and Stonn during Amok Time after he’s “killed” Kirk and T’pring and Stonn get to be together
Spock: After a time you may find that having is not so pleasing after all as wanting.
Originally in TOS it’s implied that Spock and T’pring have no prior relationship so it’s actually not very clear what exactly Spock has longed for and then regretted after getting it. I think on the Duras Sisters podcast they propose that leaning into his Vulcanness (if I remember correctly) is what he regrets and I super agree with that, especially in the context of the episode as Vulcan tradition lead to him “killing” his best friend.
But with Spock and T’pring having this added relationship in SNW, he’s just absolutely talking about T’pring specifically when he says that to Stonn lol. Harsh my dude!

Aburrimiento
Hoy vamos a hablar sobre algo que a muchas nos está aconteciendo en estos tiempos de confinamiento: El aburrimiento.
¿Te aburres? Peléate, y llora un poquito. Ponle drama, teatro, luego, chantaje emocional, le reprochas cosas del pasado, te retrotraes a dos años atrás y así más tiempo dura la discusión, luego te reconcilias, te abrazas e igual tienes sexo. Una pelea por aburrimiento te puede salvar la tarde.

When she says: “I’m fine”
What she really means is: Picard coming to the realization that property and slavery are the same things under a thinly disguised veil in “Measure of a Man” shows his capacity to grow and think beyond the grounds of society. His desire to always be creating a more fair and better universe shows his development in character that will lead the way to seeing Borg as victims. And when he interrogates the court about creating a slave race, he holds up the mirror to that veil and throws back the curtain.
