Well, I think a good villain is believable. If SK is such a good author to you that you believe in all of them, I guess then it's just a question of which is most big and bad. Some of us just didn't ultimately find the CK so convincing.

Well, i see your point...do I "believe" in the CK? Not hardly...but as the thread topic is "The Best Baddy IN THE SK UNIVERSE"...i was basing my opinion on being "in" the SK universe...in which the CK does exist...as does the Tower.

I just think the "faceless" CK represents pure evil, chaos, etc...that which is at the heart of every "scary" thing in the world.

After all, the main point of us paying Taxes is to avoid just that....Chaos/(evil).

And...if that's what our government exists for, to avoid Chaos, to avoid evil, then that admits to the government believing in EVIL...which in turn means the govt recognizes the struggle between Good and Evil, or the white vs the red/CK itself.

best baddy or not, this is certainly one of the best lines Sai King has ever written, and one of my very favorites

Really? You don't think it's corny?

no, do you? maybe it's my imperfect command of English, or something, but I find the line he who walks behind the rows absolutely perfect, for its both rhythmic and goosebump-giving value. Any corniness traceable only makes it creepier, as it is always the case when plain or trivial objects turn their sinister side on one.

Yes, but just in missing my play on words. That was simply a pun. Actually, I agree with you completely. Only my joke has corniness.

oh shit, right... bears have always been so proud that they seldom miss a pun, that of course the fall was inevitable sooner or later. The only excuse bears have is the jet lag...
