Yeah, but you're supposed to dislike Winn, she's the villain. Her acting was perfect for the role.

Personally I absolutely love Winn ...... because I hate her character so much.

As soon as I see her in an episode I know I'm gonna enjoy it because she'll leave a lasting memory for me as to why I dislike her so much. Louise Fletcher is such a beautiful actress because she makes you forget you're watching a TV show and makes you absolutely want to step into an air lock and blast yourself out into the vacuum of space just to leave her presence.

I will never stop loving to hate Louise Fletcher characters. She was amazing.

She reminds me of Joffrey from GoT in that sense.

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

yup. it wasn't until the final season that I recognized her as Nurse Ratched from One Flew Over.... damn fine casting, and she's an impressive actress, it takes SKILL to make people hate you like that.

Good villains make you want to crawl in through the screen and punch them, and boy is Kai Winn a punchable character.

Ironically, I have never wanted to punch Q, but Sisko punched him and never Winn.

I always got the impression that everything Q did was simply irritating. Winn made decisions that actively risked people's lives because she was looking for career advancement. She was actually a threat.

Also they kind of knew that Q wouldn't actually allow anyone to get hurt because he probably wasn't allowed to.

Q did things that were ultimately to the benefit of the characters. Picard is a better person from Tapestry alone. I wouldn't even call Q a villain. Antagonist, yes, but not a villain.

Q is charming. Winn has zero charisma.

Well, except for the whole Borg incident.

I thought the idea there was that the Borg were already on the way and him doing that gave them a chance to prepare. Then they reinforced that idea with First Contact and Enterprise, because at that point they didn't know how to write a series without the Borg.
