The best TV villain of 2011
- Thread starter Joe Washington
- Start date
John Goodman on "Community" has been pretty awesome as the series first real villain. The rest mentioned are good choices.
Yeah, Gus Fring, I would add Brody from Homeland too, but not quite sure if he really counts as a villain though.
How about Darkseid, the best villain that never was for the Smallville finale?

I wouldn't consider Darkseid among the best villains of television in the year. The return of Rosey as Lex is far more along those lines.
That was my first thought too, but I don't know if she qualifies...??
Let us recap:
1) Failed to warm the family about the murderous ghosts in their house.
2) Locked her Down's Syndrome daughter in a closet full of mirrors.
3) Chained another child up in the attic, until she persuaded her married lover to suffocate him.
4) Shot and killed her husband and the maid he was raping.
5) Tried to poison Violet.
6) Schemed to steal Vivian's baby.
7) Clearly did a great job raising Tate.
8) Casually racist.
9) Dotes on her demonic, nanny-killing grand-child.
Yeah, I think she qualifies!
Right, he was pretty much a non villain, but it was a joke anyways.

Well sure, if you put it that way....
You could also add "Vicious Homophobe" and "Batshit Crazy" to the list.
My first vote would be Gus too, my second vote is Mags Bennet from Justified.
Sadly, Season 3 of BB hasn't made it to this side of the pond, never mind S4, so I can't comment on Gus. But your honorary mentions are definitely up there for me.

Oh, that was the abbreviated version!
I'd definitely go with Gus Fring, too.
Walter White.
Does your American cousin not record the show to VHS tapes and send them to you by express mail?
I think there's been enough Gus Fring luuuv for now, so instead I'll nominate:
Tate from American Horror Story, mainly for the great job Evan Peters did with the role.
Regina/Evil Queen and Mr. Gold/Rumplestiltskin from Once Upon a Time, for convincingly embodying fairy tale villains in a real world context.
Linc Potter from Sons of Anarchy for just being an entertainingly creepy weirdo.

I come from the only family in Ireland with no US relatives! (And on a more serious note, I'm not one for streaming etc)
