[freydis]

Favorite villians?

hrm.....

CSM from X-files..... very enigmatic, and whenever he showed up, you knew someone was in for it.

Diogenes from the Pendergast series by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. At least he's a brilliant, formidable villian with style.

Hannibal Lecter... once you know the whys of how he became so twisted..... it makes sense in a way. And he was another psychopath with class.

more later....

Pinhead is NOT a bad guy/villan, thank you very much

[Sybil]

When I was little I could not figure out who i wanted to be more when I grew up... Judge Doom or Jabba the Hutt.

Well, the suspense is killin' me..

Pinhead is NOT a bad guy/villan, thank you very much

Yes he is unless you take the tagline literally.

Then again no bad guy is bad from their point of view usually.
