Doing my 3rd or 4th rewatch now.

Most evil my vote goes to Todd.

This show has the ability like six feet under to make you hate every character at some point.

Todd because there is no reason for his evil. He just mindlessly follows orders

How can you say that about these two?

Skinny Pete was a talented pianist, I'll give him that. Badger had a unique sense of humor and was a reasonably dependable friend. Take away all the drugs and criminal activity and they might have been alright. But instead, the go to AA/NA meetings to spread the word that the blue crystal meth is back on the street ... to addicts attempting to unfrick their lives! That makes Badger and Skinny Pete assholes too.

Walter White was the most evil by far. The way he shot Mike Ehrmantraut at the end was sooooooooo fricked up.

It was Walter who pushed the 'evil' lever throughout the whole show.

Hector Salamanca - I see a lot of mentions of the cousins in this thread, but he made those frickers what they are.

I was tempted to put Hector at the top... except he redeemed himself in the end. Yes, he just ended up taking down an enemy, and probably hadn't changed all that much - but at least in the end he redeemed himself. The cousins went out in a blaze of glory trying to take out Hank, which is just not cool, and ultimately lead to so many more problems in all of the main character's lives.

You raise a good point and I can certainly see both sides. For me though, all of Hector's other actions combined with his creation of the cousins just puts him over the top. Who knows how they would have turned out without exposure to him. I may be wrong here, but didn't he also raise Tuco (not sure, but I think it was alluded to at some point)? His sole act of redemption at the end just couldn't make up for all of that to me.

Lydia Rodarte-Quayle--more subversive but as evil as anyone. Always willing to give an order, hint at a deadly solution, and just expect it to get done by any means necessary.

I give Todd the nod over the cousins.

At least with the cousins they were bred that way. Todd strikes me as born that way.

It was a 737 and he didn't do it on purpose. The guy fricking shot himself he was so wracked with guilt over the mid-air collision.

He spent years trying to help his daughter - his only child - kick her drug habit. Walter and Jesse come into Jane's life and she's using again after 3 or 4 episodes. She's dead after about 4 or 5 more. Why? Because Walt let her choke on her own vomit because a dead Jane was better for him personally. At least Jesse felt bad about it.

Yeah, I hated her way more than Skyler or Marie. Just a terrible, terrible person. Probably not the most evil but she helped evil flourish, no surprise she was German.

Best character - Mike. When Walt killed him it bothered me much more than killing Hank who really wasn't much of a character for most of the show.

Never knew the actress was Scottish until now...

And that she has the worst bio for a famous actress on wikipedia:

Fraser is a teetotaler. She married actor Karl Geary in 2003. They have one daughter, Lila, and live in Glasgow, Scotland.

The End

Wait - did I miss something? How do we know he didn't do it on purpose?

Didn't he realize they were on a collision course in the last seconds? Wasn't he calling out to one or the other to change altitude and/or course when they collided?

If the guy wanted revenge, why didn't he go after Jesse? Why crash two planes full of strangers into each other? He shot himself a few days after the crash. Doesn't that imply feelings of remorse?

Quit white knighting (or roaching) for this guy.

He was distraught over his daughter then don't go into work where you are supposed to keep planes from crashing.

He killed those people plain and simple then like the evil loser coward he is, he offed himself.

Pretty sure that puts him in the lead on the body count including children.
