A-holes of SCIFI

[RobertScorpio]

There are bad guys, and then, there are assho-les. You don't have to be a 'bad guy' to be an A-hole. You can be a good guy and be an A-hole too.

Who are some of scifi's best A-holes. Here are three of mine...

1. Londo on Bab-5. He was a good guy, and a bad guy, but he was always an A-hole.

2. That Admiral Nachev on TNG/DS9. I know, we usually call women like that bitches, but in the interest of steller peace, I'll just say she was an A-hole.

3. Captain Stiles of TREK 3? That guy? He was an A-hole...

[Mistral]

The company reps in the Alien movies-where did the company recruit- A-Holes Staffing Inc. ?

 

[Hartzilla2007]

Colonel Telford from Stargate Universe.

 

[BenRoethig]

The execs at SciFi/syfy

 

[The Evil Dead]

Gorman (Aliens). He always was an asshole.

 

[Kirkman1987]

Don't forget all those federation diplomats and paper pushers that were always getting in Kirk's way.

Also a special note to Lando Calrissian in ESB. He sold out his friends to pure evil, and only saved them because his deal went bad.

It's a family movie, but I would have left him there to the Empire's judgement.

Zorg from The Fifth Element came immediately to mind. I enjoyed the character, but he was an a-hole.

 

[Kirkman1987]

And if we are mentioning good guys as well, Jayne from Firefly was a major one, in a very entertaining way

 

[RobertScorpio]

The Emperior was a asshole too because he made Anakan think his wife was dead; so low!!!! Another A-hole is Q. He can be a real A-hole at times..

Lando thought he was only selling out "some guy called Skywalker" (not a friend, he only knew Han and Chewbacca). And the price for not cooperating with Vader was likely death.

Han Solo was almost an asshole, too (a jerk, basically). He didn't want to save Leia until Luke mentioned money, and didn't want to stick around to help the rebels. I bet Chewie talked him into it.

Kryton the robot from Season 2 of Buck Rogers.

Bender from FUTURAMA, he's fun...but he can be an asshole.

Lost in Space's Dr. Smith is an asshole.

[Delta1]

Obi-Wan Kenobi. After rendering his assassination target hors de combat on Mustafar, what does this brave warrior do? Does he administer the coup de grace? Does he administer first aid and capture his target for trial? No, he lets him burn, writhing in agony. He walks away from an injured combatant, failing to observe both the civilized laws of war and the requirements of his mission.

When he later discovers that his abortive assassination attempt did, in fact, fail, he tries to indoctrinate the target's own son with the beliefs of a violent warrior cult and sends the kid to finish his dirty work. When the kid finds out the truth and calls him on it, Kenobi has the temerity to tell him the lies were true, "from a certain point of view." And that he should carry out the assassination anyway.

All is made right by the end of Return of the Jedi, when we see Obi-Wan and his vile master, Yoda, confined to Jedi hell where they will be tortured by Darth Vader for eternity.

 

[Skellington]

Just about every non-Enterprise Captain or Admiral in Star Trek, Star Trek: The Next Generation or the movies.

 

[tharpdevenport]

That episode of "Sliders" (yes, I actually watched this episodes...) where Mallory and I think Wade, are captured by the Cromags and are trying to escape.

For those who don't know, the Cromags scoop out human eyes and eat them.

As they get away, one human chained to a wall with a shadow cast over his face says, "If I can't leave," and he looks u pto show gutted areas where his eyes were, "neither can you. GUARDS!!!"


Fucking asshole.

Very good. From Star Wars I think I'll pick the Grand Moff himself, Wilhuff Tarkin. No angsty origin story or tragic fall to the dark side required; he just gets on with it. "You're far too trusting", indeed!

 

[Joel_Kirk]

*Picard from the 1st Season of TNG

 

[sbk1234]

Seven of Nine. Other than her looks, there was very little that made me want to hang around her.

Capt. Jellico (Who I personally liked). LEt's face it, he was a grade-A prick.

Arnold Rimmer. Need I say more?

 

[Spiderpope]

Arnold Judas Rimmer B.S.c., S.S.c.

 

[Miss Chicken]

Avon and Servalan from Blake's 7. Avon was technically one of the good guys but was selfish prick, Servalan was one of the baddies and was a complete bitch. They were also the most interesting and most popular characters on the show.

*Picard from the 1st Season of TNG

I wouldn't call him an asshole exactly. Just a very grumpy and unpleasant guy.

Thank god he eventually lightened up.
