Quote:And yes, that is one of the all-time classics, and I suppose does have some ideas beyond just very nice (and very funny) wallpaper for the game. The Ur-Quan are just about the best villains ever, and made all the more awesome by their doctrinal debate: yes, they're both tyrannically insane, but they manifest that in marvellously divergent ways. One almost finds oneself rooting for your Kzer'Za overlords, just because the Kor'Ah are so... stark. What is worse? Perpetual enslavement, or utter annhilation?

To me, the Ur-Quans earned their top place in 'greatest and memorable villains in the now and forever pages' because once you learned their history, and how they became pretty much insane, you'd have to have a heart of stone not to feel some sympathy for them. And I'm not talking only talking about how they overcame the 'hypnotoad' mental enslavement.

As for what's worse in terms of the Ur-Quan doctrine, well the Spathi loved the idea of being behind an impenetrable planetary shield. (not counting the Umgah prank with the switched flags) And the Utwigs probably sees the Kohr-ah method as a possible reserve solution should their depression reach a global low. (who would want to live without the Ultron anyway, if you can even call it 'living')

So I guess I'm saying it's all relative.;)
