How would Lore and Laas, two of the bigger jerks in the history of Star Trek, interact? Which of the two do you believe to be the bigger jerk?


Seriously, I had to look it up. Never in a million years would've remembered this character from just a four-letter alien name out of 700 hours of Trek:Since I've no memory of Laas, I'll go with Lore.
Lore wasn't a mere jerk - he was a maniac with an inferiority complex. Laas was just rude.

Pretty much. Lore worked with the Crystalline Entity to take down his home, and tried to take down the Enterprise too. While posing as Data. Killed Dr. Soong, also while posing as Data. Then later manipulated Data into torturing Geordi while ruling over a bunch of freed Borg with plans of galactic domination or something.
Laas was just a rude guy who only killed one person in self-defense.
I'm not sure how it could be concluded that Lore had an inferiority complex, though.
LORE: Where's Data? You didn't fill Data with substandard parts, did you, old man. No, that honour was bestowed upon me. You owe me, old man. Not him, me!

Can Lore enjoy anything?Lore is far worse than Laas. Laas killed that one klingon, but he's the kind of guy who'll leave you alone if you leave him alone. He wants nothing to do with solids.
Lore actively goes out and takes delight in murdering people.

Odo said that the klingon was reaching for his blaster, and Odo's the least likely to lie out of anyone in the series. He didn't need to kill the klingon to defend himself, but unless Odo acted completely out of character and lied for the first time his life, it was self defense.

It really wasn't self-defense, since Laas' life wasn't in any danger from the Klingons.
