I don't remember if I participated in that particular ++/-- game but what I remember most about those games is that I would get way too emotionally invested, so I stopped playing them pretty quickly.

I had a similar reaction to Sanguinarium, queequeg. It's gross and silly! Why doesn't everyone embrace that?! It's the good-bad 80's horror fan in me, probably. I just finished watching Agua Mala lik

With four votes, Anthony Tippet is out first.  With three, the thread of evil via Jed Dukes follows next.  Bringing up the rear with two votes is bat man.  Reptile creature Herman Stites also received two votes, but the bat man's were more heavily weighted, so he lives to slither another day.

 

We're left with just a top two for season nine, due to another tie.  Josef Kobold bites the dust first with three votes, but with two equally-weighted votes apiece, both Dr. Jack Preijers and Tommy Conlon join him.

 

Season Eight
 

Jesus slug (Roadrunners)
Soul eater (The Gift)
Reptile creature Herman Stites (Alone)

 

Season Nine

 

Erwin Lukesh (4-D)
Oliver Martin (Sunshine Days)

 

Vote your pick for most-interesting villain so we can move on to the all-stars game.

With a whopping three votes, the soul eater from The Gift is the most-interesting villain of season eight.  Runner up with one vote is the Jesus slug from Roadrunners.  (Well, certainly nothing there that makes me want to watch.)  With no votes, reptile creature Herman Stites from Alone will slither into third.
 
Oliver Martin from Sunshine Days takes the season nine crown, also with three votes.  With one vote, Erwin Lukesh from 4-D comes in second.

Even if the episodes are not as good, some of these season 8 and 9 villains are pretty great if you look at them separately. The soul eater is very interesting and so terribly tragic, but the episode is a snooze. And the kid from Scary Monsters gotta win an evil kid trophy of some kind, I mean that boy is batshit. I can't believe no one punched him in the face. And just so I can say the name again, I'd rank paraplegic Indian beggar butt genie man over quite a few from the list. But anyway, they're not all the bees knees:

Dr. Jack Preijers (Audrey Pauley. Who is this guy and why is he on all stars?)

Maurice and Lyda (HTGSC)

Henry Weems' good luck (Goldberg Variation)

Erwin Lukesh (4-D)

Jesus slug (Roadrunners)

Dr. Jack Preijers (Audrey Pauley) -- it bugs me that he had no motive whatsoever, at least as far as we could see

 

Reptile creature Herman Stites (Alone)

 

Greg Pincus (Folie a Deux) -- ditto on the lack of motive

 

Oliver Martin (Sunshine Days) -- I don't remember this ep hardly at all, the only reason I remember the character is because it's Ben from Lost LOL

 

Erwin Lukesh (4-D) -- interesting concept, made far less interesting by being a S9 episode.  Can you imagine if Mulder or Scully had to let an alternate version of the other die so that the "real" one could survive?  Holy angst, Batman.

I would just die right along with them

Ronnie Strickland (Bad Blood)  -- I hate to do this, as much as I love Bad Blood, but Ronnie Strickland is just kinda meh for me as a villain

Ronnie is interesting to me because he cracks me up, but also because he's someone who acts the way he does because he's seen one too many Bela Lugosi movies ... but he just happens to be a real vampire.  I love that idea.

I can't believe everyone is voting for the soul eater.  Man, that poor whatever it was... so sad.  :(   I thought that whole episode was a waste of one of Duchovny's contracted shows, and I HATE the whole Mulder has some stupid brain disease we've never heard of before now, but I found the soul eater to be very sad and compelling.  And the fact that Mulder didn't allow it to take his disease once he saw the creature and how much pain it was in, well that's just so Mulder.  Bless his heart.

Now that all the villains I never saw or don't remember are out of the way, I have to do some actual deliberation this round.  Hmmm ...

 

Jenn (just a genie)

Morris Fletcher (just a MiB, plus he's a sexist jackass)

Henry Weems' good luck (points for being unique, but less interesting than the rest of the list)

Agreeing with you on two out of three....

 

Puppet, the bellhop

Morris Fletcher

Henry Weems' good luck

 

I'm not ready to vote Jenn out quite yet.  I do like that despite having been trapped in a "careful what you wish for" wish for millennia, she was still genuinely trying to help people choose good wishes rather than being all evil and tricksy and ruining their lives because she could.

Granted, I don't watch many genie stories, but the ones I've seen are pretty much all the same -- benevolent genie tries to help, but people's wishes always go awry because of the consequences they didn't think about, so the bottom line is you just can't attempt to change things that way. 

 

Now, Scully in that episode, on the other hand, is terribly interesting to me.  She's downright adorable.

With five votes, Henry Weems' good luck is out first, followed by Puppet with four votes.  With two votes, Morris Fletcher joins them.  Ronnie Strickland also got two votes, but they weren't as strong.

With four votes, Jenn is out first, followed by the mothman creature with four lesser-weighted votes.  For our third slot, we have a tie of villains I find highly entertaining, so we'll say goodbye to them together: Ronnie Strickland and Terri and Margi got three equally-weighted votes each.  So ... you are in big trouble.  Or, hate you, wouldn't want to date you.
