I don't know how exploding consoles didn't make the list, but they would be a distant second to Rick Berman.

Trick question. It's polarity.

It’s not JJ Abrams?

What if everything in the Star Trek universe was just one grand holodeck simulation and everything we've seen them go through in all the shows, all the movies, all the animations and all the books were just a runaway holodeck program that some junior officer made.

And it turns out the actual Star Trek universe is a lonely empty experience as their ships go wandering around nearby star systems and haven't met any other species yet. It's just a boring repetitive experience that leaves everyone feeling a deep sense of Galactic loneliness as it will take them many centuries of exploration before they eventually meet another species .... and also a species that is not humanoid or familiar to us at all.

Q is not a villain!

What is “this motherfucker”?

Kai Winn with Gul dukat in a super close second.

Objection: Q is a hero, not a villain.

the people writing the scripts for the show. they can stop all evil in the show, but they choose to create it instead. without them, all evil in the show wouldn't exist. so they are the real evil mastermind behind it all!

Q isn't a villain.

The worst villain is most certainly Paramount and the writers on the new shows.

Depending on our definition of best, I'm going to vote Worf's parenting, clearly the most devastating.

Berman is the worst lol

Gul Dukat, no question.

Why doesn't species 8472 get villain love?

Borg for me.

I wonder if there's any psychology behind responses to this question... While I genuinely love the idea of becoming a cyborg, the thought of becoming part of a collective that thinks as one is kinda horrifying to me as someone who works in a creative field.

Where can I read all the dirt about Berman? I'm sure I've heard it in the past but now I can't remember the details of why he's hated so much.

Not the Vidiians? Those people harvesters were terrible. They didn't care who they violated.

Berman. He cut a swath of sadness through many series.

The Pakled. Final answer.

That one guy's head that Riker exploded.

I feel like Darth Maul should be on the list, just to demonstrate the level of anger inspired by people mixing the two series.

For me it was the giant space virus mosquitos in Voyager. As a kid that shit was nightmarish.

The shitty engineers that put too much power into those exploding panels.

oooo, toss up between Rick Berman and Lens Flare.

What is it with ricks?

Lawful good evil - neutral good evil - chaotic good evil

Lawful neutral evil - neutral evil - chaotic neutral evil

Lawful evil evil - Neutral evil evil - Chaotic evil evil

Where's the Crystalline Entity?

The Borg, it's the only one non-treckies know. And maybe Holodeck. Q? Only because i read some fandom. Others? No clue.

Jesus this gets dark fast.

How about the warp drive? Works on two levels.

Where is Alex kurtzman?
