Hi Garrett,

You said that these are the Top 10 Villains:

1 DarthVader
2 Handball Lecter
3 Norman Bates
5 Hans Gruber (Die Hard0
6 Frank Booth (Blue Velvet)
7 Reverend Henry Powell (Night of the Hunter)
8 Hal 9000
9 Graf Orlock
10 Khan Noonien

So what happened to Number 4, and did Hannibal Lecter (or Lecktor) change his first name by Deepol?!

Have to agree with Darth Vader but you could also count his Master - Emperor Palpatine, a right git.

What about the James Bond villians?? Blofelt etc!

Hal wasnt faulty. It was given a conflicting set of instructions and tried to carry them out.

I have to question why the programmer didnt hardwire Asimov's three laws of robotics into Hal's silicon though, bit of an oversight by Clarke there (of course the book and film would be a lot more boring if that was in there! It's a pity 3001 sucked).
