CSI Vegas Paul Milander & the minature killer.
CSI Miami Clavo Cruz, it's just a shame that Delco lived
CSI New York the creepy little rich girl in the episode that started out with the guillotine,
they didn't figure out it was her until the end & even so they still couldn't arrest her. When will she be back?
Hey, please refrain from comments like the Delko one just because we're talking the bad guys we love to hate here. Gentle reminder, that's all. Thanks.
I totally forgot about this thread for a while and I'm pleasantly surprised that so many of you have come here!
Natalie Davis and Paul Millander! The Taxi Cab Killer and X, who would have made such a cool re-occuring nemesis for Mac....and of course Joe LeBrock.
Being a mainly Miami fan, myself, I would have loved more Joe LeBrock. He was a thug, but he came across as an almost Godfather in a way. He spoke urbanely, didn't shout or curse and had a "mafia" of sorts through his underworld connections. He was interesting and played very well by John Sharian. An unfortunately short-lived, but well-played and layered character. Okay, maybe it's just me, but the actor has some of the most thick lashed and beautiful eyes I've seen on a guest actor. I'm so a sucker for the eyes....anyway, the character was fun, menacing and so very Godfather-like. Bring back Joe LeBrock!
Natalie Davis was so completely twisted, brilliant and criminally insane. The Minature Killer series was the first season I actually began to watch of CSI. She totally engaged and intrigued me, yet, because of events in her life, she could be almost sympathetic. Almost.
I loved that brief story arc with the Killer X on CSI:NY. What an interesting and worthy adversary for Mac. She was fascinating and so very tragic.Too bad she was killed off. The whole delving into cyber-reality was pretty cool too with the Second Life site. I don't play, but it was just plain cool to see. Cyber assassin....how high tech is that?
What about in Miami, the tragic Walter Resden? Foster kid, abandonment issuesw coupled with severe foster parental abuse? He was a monster, but reasonable, in a sense since with some psychys, that can happen. Way too big a Criminal Minds fan..... That kind of background and psych profile can screw with a person's developing sense of worth. He was bullied from the start. Working in Special Education, I actually felt sorry for him when the details came out. Didn't excuse the serial killer side, just helped explain why his psyche broke down. That's why I deemed him tragic. While a heinous killer, he was actually a victim, too.
You all have brought up some really great adversaries. I offer another semi-adversary in the CSIM universe- IAB Leiutenant Rick Stetler. Technically he plays for the home team, but he has consistantly been set up as a thorn in the Lab's side, and more specifically, Horatio's. He's a semi-adversary. He causes problems when he can, but also has been shown to back the team up or sometimes be sympathetic to individual team members when he's allowed to voice it.
What do you think? Rick Stetler-friend or fiend?
