Also not a villain. Gaius is weak and manipulated, but he never actively tries to harm the humans or the Battlestar Galactica. Even his stint as President on New Caprica where he was making deals with the Cylons were for his other humans protection. All of those are signs of weakness, but not villainy.

  • Granted access to the security main-frame to a spy, which caused almost the complete annihilation of the human species.
  • Constantly tried to cover up this involvement to escape prosecution.
  • Covered up, that one pilot was actually a hostile sleeper agent, which led to the assassination of the Commander.
  • Caused the death of a guard on the Pegasus.
  • Gave away a nuclear warhead to a Cylon, lol. Caused a few hundred or thousand deaths, too.
  • Made the wrong decision to settle on the planet, which became detected and occupied by the Cylons because of the detonation.
  • Ok, he fought against signing death sentences.
  • Worked with the Cylons to find Earth (well, he was tortured, too).

Then, powerless, he wasn't able to cause much harm any more.

I know his character very well, but the end result looks awful.

  • Did not know she was a spy. That is kind of what spies are supposed to do, so not a villainous act.
  • The other option was knowingly endangering himself. Not taking responsibility for something you cannot fix anyway hardly counts as villainous.
  • This was actually confusing in the plot itself as they seemed to imply he knew she was a Cylon, but did not say anything so she would not kill him. He, however, never found anyone else that was a Cylon so it seemed like his thing just happened to work for her, and for no one else. I found it confusing.
  • "Caused the death of a guard on the Pegasus." ~ Don't remember this.
  • "Gave away a nuclear warhead to a Cylon, lol. Caused a few hundred or thousand deaths, too." ~ Yes, this was definitely stupid and villainous.
  • "Made the wrong decision to settle on the planet, which became detected and occupied by the Cylons because of the detonation." Technically, there is no way to know it was the wrong decision to settle until after the Cylons came. Are you suggesting that we should take President Roslin at her word when she says the scriptures think this new planet is not the one? That hardly seems ok for a secular president.


Except for the warhead act, and the dead guard I don't remember, nothing he has done has really shown "villainy" or the active pursuit of nefarious aims. Gaius Baltar for pretty much the entire run of the show is interested in preserving the human race, he just happens to be pretty terrible at it.

I Usually tend to automatically go agains the villains just cuz im such a sucker for the good guy, but Coyote Starrk from Bleach really got to me. He was one of the few villains that actually showed weaknesses, and second-guessed himself over and over in his own head.

He seemed more like a good guy then a bad guy, but was supposed to act as a villain. His history with lillinette etc make you kinda feel for him.

Spoiler'd Pic cuz it might spoil something for those who aren't at that part yet I guess:

in old fallout, you had to pretty much avoid every melee hit of a deathclaw, because almost all of their hits were critical and crippling. i remember the coolest npc in fallout 2 was a death claw in a robe, too bad there was an annoying delay whenever he started fighting when he took off his robe

I found F2 Enclave soldiers to be damn terrifying: really needed an optimized character to kill them efficiently.

Here are two gems:

And the comunication from the Poseidon reactor 5 in Gecko to the Enclave oil rig (start at 35s, the speech at 1:25m is just too hilarious "Who the f... who is th.. wha?.. I should kick your effing ass!")
