The Round Table discussion

I'm stepping in for Glennagirl today.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. television series had enumerable stars and starlets guesting on the show as innocents as well as the villains. There were very few baddies who repeated their role, G. Emory Partridge for one, and perhaps Gervais Ravel.  My mind is going blank, but were there any other repeat villains? Some stars returned to play the innocents after having been the bad guy, and of course Jill Ireland but lets not go there with her...

Would it have made for more drama if Napoleon and Illya had a regular arch nemesis?(other than the organization of THRUSH)

Who was your favorite villain or villainess and why?

Oh Robert Culp was a good one too. Captain Shark I think in The Neptune Affair? I'm terrible with names and episode titles myself.

Will have to go rewatch those episodes with Egret as I don't remember them that well. You've planted a seed now, so will have to see if it grows. "D

Yes! ...or was it .. I think it was The Shark Affair...?

The other Egret episode, is, I think one of the scariest. The ...brain killer affair or something like that... having Waverly in such peril was a remarkable devise, super scary, plus the freezing-people-gizmos! .... and I think it's the only ep where the innocent is PAID for her help --which is significant. I wouldn't have called it a favorite ep or favorite villain ... but that is a very good one, so maybe I'll change my thinking.

But the Mad Teaparty... It's utterly terrifying if you watch it, the way I always see it, that Egret IS the innocent...you never get a good look at Egret before she changes her face--- the only look you get at her---she looks just like the innocent. And (obviously? this was unintentional because) it's never addressed or resolved. But Egret gets away in that episode either way so... there's still that at least.

See I told you I wasn't good with names lol! Now I really have to pull out the DVD's and watch those Egret episodes.

Egret was in The Brain-Killer Affair? I thought her other episode was The Girls of Nazarone Affair.... Which was also pretty scary when you think about it....

That is an interesting thought about The Mad, Mad Tea Party Affair. That's one of my favorite season 1 episodes and I wouldn't mind in the least re-watching it. ;)

Oh dear.... you are probably right. There was an evil dr. someone in the Brain Killer Affair.... also a woman. I must have got them mixed up.

I kind of thought Elsa Lanchester was the evil doctor in Brain-Killer? Hmm.
