Servalan, most evil female villain ever?


I was watching some of the old Blakes 7 episodes and I really couldn't think of anyone who has portrayed such an evil female character as Servalan, there's literally no one she wouldn't shoot in the back for her own gain.

Number 6 in Battlestar Galacticta comes to mind, she got Balter off then got him to nuke his planet.

" and are all the labourers aboard?"
" no ma'am. Shall I abandon the excess Kyropan ? or have it destroyed"
" Neither, you will abandon the surplus labourers!"

I sort of made up words to go with the theme song of Blake's 7.

There goes Servalan,
evil Servalan.
Spreading death and pain,
vile Servalan.

There have probably been more evil villainesses, but there haven't been any more faaaabulous!

She wasn't just evil, she was effortlessly glamorous and louche*, thoroughly fun to watch. Mostly she was evil in a way that was completely enjoyable, and sometimes she was evil in a genuinely scary way. Who could ask for more from their villain!



* "louche": (adj) disreputable or sordid in a rakish or appealing way

Yeah, she was so evil I got tired of it actually. Man the 70s were downbeat werent they.

She just did that same stupid strut every episode..
