deleting my response over limited selection. Sorry, too good missing characters here.

 

[Crewman6]

That said, where the hell is the Commander from "The Enterprise Incident"?? MASSIVE gap.

How about "Toreth" from "Face of the Enemy"?

Senator Vreenak??

Yet you got Nanclus on there for some reason?

Sorry, you need to rewrite this list big time.

She was an interesting character in an interesting episode and would have been worth including. I forgot about her. Would have been nice if they had given her a name though.

How about "Toreth" from "Face of the Enemy"?

Toreth was a complicated character who appeared in one episode. She was a stand out character, but I guess "iconic" is in the eye of the beholder. "Other."

Senator Vreenak??

Vreenak was another complicated character, rather than a straight up "villain." He was more like an obstacle.

Yet you got Nanclus on there for some reason?

He was part of a significant conspiracy in a Star Trek film. I think he was worthy of a spot.

Sorry, you need to rewrite this list big time.

I don't agree.

Neo.
Tomalak.
Mark Lenard.

 

[Unimatrix Q]

For me it was:

1. Tomalak
2. The romulan commander from TOS
3. Pardek (because there was a lot of mystery and ambiguity about his reasons for betraying Spock after eighty years of friendship)

 

[Zor-El]

Balance of Terror Commander, Nero, and Sela

I thought about your third option, but didn't want to add it because it is a bit of a spoiler for someone who might be binging on TNG for the first time.

Those episodes aired 30 years ago.

I am aware. You have heard the phrase "There is a sucker born every minute?" Well, there is also a potential ST fan born every minute that is destined to binge on TNG.

 

[fireproof78]

Poor people.

 

[1001001]

I am aware. You have heard the phrase "There is a sucker born every minute?" Well, there is also a potential ST fan born every minute that is destined to binge on TNG.

By that logic, every character on your list could be a spoiler.

I think the spoiler rule is we have to wait 33.5 years before we can freely discuss an episode in GTD. I can't wait to discuss "Home Soil" next week. Spoiler alert:

Spoiler

It was a so-so episode

 

[Crewman6]

For me it was:

3. Pardek (because there was a lot of mystery and ambiguity about his reasons for betraying Spock after eighty years of friendship)

Nah, it was just bad writing. His flip was completely unmotivated, his character fundamentally made no sense. He just swayed with the demands of the (crappy) plotting.

 

[JRoss]

Those episodes aired 30 years ago.

Oh, come on. No way. Please, no. Not 30 years already. Geez.

I said Lenard, Tomalak and Sela. Though looking through the list I'm seeing that there really are no super successful Romulan enemies.

Unnamed Commander
That guy Geordie was trapped on that planet with
Senator Vreenak (for having no chill)

 

[Qonundrum]

Carolyn Seymour played two. First in "Contagion", then in "Face of the Enemy" but whether it was the same commander or not, despite similar name, they missed a neat opportunity to look up the old script. She's my third vote ("other")

 

[Nerys Myk]

BOT Commander
EI Commander (Not on list)
Narissa (Not on list)

 

[StarCruiser]

The unnamed commander from BOT wasn't what I would call a villain. Seemed actually like a decent enough fellow stuck in an unfortunate situation. Now, Decius - he's a piece of work!

This is FAKE!
