Game The Most Disliked Season Finale Antagonist, 2025 Edition

[Tiran O'Saurus]

I suppose I'll save the Sphere-Builders. They're a nice callback to TOS's love for having the heroes fight advanced beings believed by the locals to be gods.

Silik (ENT S1, "Shockwave")
Duras (ENT S2, "The Expanse")
Na'kuhl Nazi (ENT S3, "Zero Hour")

Control (DIS S2, "Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2")
Moll (DIS S5, "Life, Itself")
Primarch Tahal & The Breen (DIS S5, "Life, Itself")
Solar Flares (LD S2, "First First Contact")
D'Erika (LD S4, "Old Friends, New Planets")
Relga (LD S5, "The New Next Generation")

 

[Detached Nacelle]

Im going to save Silik next he was a good recurring nemesis if a bit of a naive pawn.

Also quick one to @Seven of Five the praetor was the rather mean lady who blew up the commander.

D'Erika (LD S4, "Old Friends, New Planets")
Relga (LD S5, "The New Next Generation")

 

[Sakonna]

I'll save D'Erika. Awesome character, awesome vocal performance.

"Old Friends, New Planets" was the only episode I actually had to rewatch for this revision of the list, to refresh my recall of what happened, and I was surprised how much of an antagonist she was in it.

Duras (ENT S2, "The Expanse")
The Sphere Builders (ENT S3, "Zero Hour")
Na'kuhl Nazi (ENT S3, "Zero Hour")
Off-Camera Admiral Pressman (ENT S4, "These Are The Voyages...")

Moll (DIS S5, "Life, Itself")
Primarch Tahal & The Breen (DIS S5, "Life, Itself")
Solar Flares (LD S2, "First First Contact")
Relga (LD S5, "The New Next Generation")

 

[Farscape One]

Saving Relga.

Of what's left, definitely the best villain. And "The New Next Generation" was a great series finale.


Duras (ENT S2, "The Expanse")
Na'kuhl Nazi (ENT S3, "Zero Hour")
Off-Camera Admiral Pressman (ENT S4, "These Are The Voyages...")

Moll (DIS S5, "Life, Itself")
Primarch Tahal & The Breen (DIS S5, "Life, Itself")
Solar Flares (LD S2, "First First Contact")

 

[Oddish]

Solar Flares. Anything that requires you to completely strip the outside of your ship to combat it has to be pretty nasty.

Duras (ENT S2, "The Expanse")

Moll (DIS S5, "Life, Itself")
Primarch Tahal & The Breen (DIS S5, "Life, Itself")

 

[Seven of Five]

Control was a strange, confusing antaganist, but the episode Such Sweet Sorrow. Part 2, did a wonderful job selling the stakes. The battle was huge, and one of my favourite bits was the homage to 2001 when Burnham was visiting the different planets throughout the season.

And oops @Detached Nacelle I obviously misremembered the episode. I'll still leave it eliminated though.

Duras (ENT S2, "The Expanse")
Na'kuhl Nazi (ENT S3, "Zero Hour")
Off-Camera Admiral Pressman (ENT S4, "These Are The Voyages...")
Holographic Recreation Of Unnamed Alien Criminal (ENT S4, "These Are The Voyages...")
The Klingon War (DIS S1, "Will You Take My Hand
Moll (DIS S5, "Life, Itself")

 

[Detached Nacelle]

I debated between Moll and Vosk and settled on Moll, she had a real motive behind her actions more so than being a very literal nazi like Vosk. Also I'd do anything to save that handsome Breen too.

Duras (ENT S2, "The Expanse")
Na'kuhl Nazi (ENT S3, "Zero Hour")
Off-Camera Admiral Pressman (ENT S4, "These Are The Voyages...")
Holographic Recreation Of Unnamed Alien Criminal (ENT S4, "These Are The Voyages...")
The Klingon War (DIS S1, "Will You Take My Hand

 

[Tiran O'Saurus]

Saving the Klingon War as a concept. I do enjoy a good war story. We're definitely in the dregs now.

Na'kuhl Nazi (ENT S3, "Zero Hour")

[Artoo Atari]

Just to clarify: Is the "Holographic Recreation Of Unnamed Alien Criminal" Rick Berman or Brannon Braga?

 

[Farscape One]

Saving Na'kuhl Nazi in "ZERO HOUR".

Really only because of the episode, not him. It was really a choice between this and Duras from "THE EXPANSE"... but he was annoying. Silence really was golden in this case.


And also, I despise "THESE ARE THE VOYAGES...", so I definitely wasn't going to save something from it.

[Detached Nacelle]

I leave someone else the burden of saving something from these are the voyages. I will save a dishonourable Duras dog.

Off-Camera Admiral Pressman (ENT S4, "These Are The Voyages...")
Holographic Recreation Of Unnamed Alien Criminal (ENT S4, "These Are The Voyages...")

 

[Seven of Five]

I'll save Off-Camera Admiral Pressman, only because I loved him in The Pegasus.

That leaves Holographic Recreation Of Unnamed Alien Criminal as the loser. We didn't even get to see the face of them.

 

[Sakonna]

Fun winner! He wasn't even on the list the first time we played, it was feedback from someone who said "isn't the villain the alien gangster?" I hadn't seen it that way, since the entire stakes of TATV are really just the stakes of "The Pegasus", but once it was pointed out he seemed a reasonable enough addition.

But he's about as lame and empty as Trek antagonists get, so a very deserving winner this time.

 

[Oddish]

Fitting that the worst finale provided the worst villain.

 

[Bad Thoughts]

I thought Brannon Braga was the antagonist of These are the Voyages.

 

[Artoo Atari]

I thought Brannon Braga was the antagonist of These are the Voyages.

That's how I see it.

 

[Oddish]

I thought Brannon Braga was the antagonist of These are the Voyages.

Try the whole series.

 

[Farscape One]

Try the whole series.

Braga is definitely to blame for helping to come up with the Temporal Cold War, and I do fault him for some things, but I can't go as far as calling him the villain of the show.

Frankly, the ones who deserve that title most are the UPN suits.

 

[Tiran O'Saurus]

Frankly, the ones who deserve that title most are the UPN suits.

But they wanted a different boy band in the mess hall every episode! Clearly the villain is whoever vetoed such an amazingly in-tune with the youth idea!

 

[Cyfa]

~ I can't even remember him I might have to rewatch TATV - and then rewatch "Precious Cargo" to get over it! #noteventheslightestbitofsarcasm
