Here's a bit of fun. Tell us who your Fab Five is and why? And stay tuned for a 5 Favorite Heroes thread!

1) Scorpius / Harvey (Farscape)

No, I'm not a huge fan of Farscape, but I cannot deny in recent years this has quickly become my favorite Villian. Cruel, yet refined and tempered by experience he is the stereotypical Machavellian character willing to betray anything to further advance his goal. As Harvey the Neural Clone he has shown incredible range of character.

Favorite Villian Moment: Season 3 finale when he showed the Planet Earth to John while slamming his head into the console.

2) Mantrid (LEXX: Series 2)

The ultimate hybrid of Insect and Machine intelligence with a touch of Humanity thrown in the mix. How can you not pick the guy that wiped out the Light Universe?

Most Villianous moment:

Death of poor ol'Vigo

3) Ronald Sandoval (Earth: Final Conflict)

This guy sold out everything (including his own wife) to destroy those he chose willingly to serve. He allowed nothing to get in his way, even innocent women and children. Even at his death in the end of the series his final words were: I have no regrets.

Favorite Moment:
When the new FBI director has Sandoval brought up on serious charges and forces him to become his "inside agent", Sandoval responds and humbles himself. As the limo drives away with the Director and the evidence it explodes and Sandoval smiles continuing his reign of terror.

4) Scytale (Dune: Messiah; Heretics; Chapterhouse)

The ultimate enigma. A Face-Dancer by birth, but also one of the eight 'clinically immortal' Masters of the Tleilaxu. He was behind the discovery of awakening Ghola memories, and the conspiricy to take over the Imperium by cloning the Royals.
Later he helped spread seditious documents throughout the Imperium.

Favorite moment:
The conversation between him and Paul in the throne room where he calls Godhood just another form of control.

5) Q (Star Trek: TNG)

Good, bad, or just plain ugly?

Q is an enigma, sometimes seemingly the Protector of Humanity, while at the same time using Humanity as a toy to amuse himself. His antics throughout ST:TNG kept me watching even when the series dragged.

Favorite Moment:
When Q shows Picard the pool from which human life would eventually evolve.
