Who was the best one-off villain from the original series?

I'm surprised no one has mentioned karidian/Kodos or his daughter. I love that episode I can watch it again and again. Or Garth of Izar, i mean he was evil (when not medicated)
 
Kor should have been the Klingon antagonist in STVI:TUC. Of course, Christopher Plummer had greater star power.

If John Colicos had gotten Plumber's role in ST6, "it would have been glorious." Ditch the Shakespearean pomposity, allow Kirk and Kor to recognize each other like real people would, and let Kor go out with a bang.

The TOS Klingons got a marvelous curtain call on Deep Space Nine, but this would have been even better.
 
If you were to go back in time and suggest another one-off villain from the original series be made the antagonist in a Star Trek film, who would it be?
I would've loved to see the crew go up against their Mirror Universe counterparts in a feature film, maybe in an adaptation of the DC Comics Mirror Universe Saga.

Better yet, keep the Shakespearean pomposity. That was one of the great things about Kor, he was a pompous ass. He knew when to shut up and behave, but he was a pompous ass when he could just cut loose. That was one of the great things about his showing up again, and then again, on DS9, was his wonderful pomposity. Throwing knowledge of Shakespeare into the mix, just to mess with Kirk, would have been a lot of fun.

Always made me want a bag of Bugles after watching.........

I sense a merchandising opportunity! :biggrin:

Remember the discharge after Decker flies the shuttle into it? Yeah, my digestive system had the same reaction after eating Bugles

Never mind.

The Talosians. Many opportunities.

After all, Pike never really escaped Talos 4. All the rest of all of the Star Trek franchise is just a projection in Pike's mind. That's the only way to explain the inconsistencies, continuity errors, and fake science.

Can't resisting mentioning that I recently wrote a sequel to that ep, featuring the return of Lenore Karidian: FOUL DEEDS WILL RISE.
