The Dolls are called Clones in Chrono Trigger Rank heh, and you can actually get one for every single party member.
O_O
Well, about the doll thingie it must be a localization thing, because on the spanish version of Chrono Trigger (Come on xD back when I was a teen I didn't spoke any english whatsoever) it was called a "Muñeco" (Doll) rather than Clon (Clone)
But I didn't knew you could get life-sized versions of all of them, jesuschrist, even 20 years later there's still stuff I dont know about CT, I mean, I only learned that earning sufficient cat food would allow you to adopt more cats, and the extra cats would show up in one of the many endings, much much later.
Also Morec :P that quote really was funny xD but I kinda liked Warchief Thrall a lot more than Jesus Thrall. (Its the plate, that legendary armor deserves better than to be casted aside into oblivion)

o_O you got Lord Zedd as your icon? man, that was a great villain (Before he was castrated into a bumbling fool because he was "too scary" /FACEPALM, aint villains SUPPOSED to be scary? Damn censors)
Maybe I should get Ransik :P he was IMO the second-best Villain in the Power Rangers saga, before that show went to hell.

Eh, I liked Master Org, as he killed people on screen....well, in a shadow, but still heh.

After replaying Neverwinter Nights, I remembered everything that made Meph an amazing villian.
There needs to be more deadpan big-bads.

One of my favorite parts was how Aribeth is introduced as this strong willed, independent woman. Then you watch her break and become a heel-face revolving door, and by the time you meet her in Hordes, she is a total wreck.

ya but ransik was the only villain that both:
A: DEFEATED the rangers, and he was actually winning before he had a Heel Face Turn due to blasting his daughter. If it wasn't for that, he would had actually won, as he was beating the crap out of the heroes effortlessly.
B: He wasn't killed, or forcibly turned good via an asspull like it happened to so many others. The fact that he owned up to his wrongdoings willingly speaks much of him as a character.
Besides, he pulled HIS OWN BONES as weapons (Auch, its best to not think too much about how much logic that makes)

She as a character was a heavy victim of "Informed Ability"
For a supossed "hero of the nation" she never did anything other than boss around in the Temple of Tyr and then brood and moan during all of act 2, and then betray everyone for a very stupid reason (in Hordes its revealed she never even LOVED fenthick, and I'm like "Ok, then WTF did you betrayed neverwinter?")
Meh, Nathyra was 50x times better than her. At least her characterization in Hordes is slightly better (though only if you redeem her, if you allow her to become a black knight she's way too hammy for my taste)

I ended up with both of them...
I was playing as Locronos, it was sort of inevitable...

Well his mutation(which was actually from the Orgs as seen in the Wild Force/Time Force team up) was cool, and yeah he was a bad ass...but a lot of villains have done what he's done over the years at his point heh. I just think due to what Master O did, he's the 'evilest' of the villains with only the RPM computer virus boss topping him....as that thing wiped out nearly the entire population of Earth and put the rest of them in work camps(RPM is really really really !@#$ing dark for a MMPR).

humm...... I wound't know about that, I kinda stopped watching Power Rangers after Time Force, I just grew disillusioned with the show overall. I saw the "get-together" episode of Wild-Force (on which Ransik showed up) and a few episodes of Dino Force, but other than that, I kinda abandoned that show altogether.
I wish I could see the japanese versions though :P they kinda look awesome.

I've been a fan of Rangers since it's started, and at the start of the summer, I got all 17 seasons finally downloaded and on DVD, working on Samurai now, but for some reason they stopped showing episodes at 18, and there are suppose to be 40 of them. Oh and Rank, you'll like my newest poll idea, when I get around to posting it in Off-Topic.

My sister recently got really into Samurai, so I've been seeing it.
What the hell happened? I honestly believed I was remembering the origonal and turbo through nostolga-colored glasses, so I pulled out my old movies to prove it to myself.
Compared side to side, Samurai is of much lower quality than the origonal. The hell?
The storyline, suitwork, acting, and special effects are all noticably worse. I don't get it.

Um.....Turbo was god awful; that's the worse of the series, everyone agrees on that.
Back to the topic we go.
Revisiting Andorhal, I found Sylvanas to be... strange. Instead of saying : "Your friendship will be gone" or something like that (sorry about the #$%^ty line), she specifies fear.
I'm thinking Koltira might be afraid of a rematch against Thassarian beyond their friendship because it really turned out so well for him the first time.
Possibly.

Notice I said compared to the origonal.
And the only part of turbo I have on VHS is the movie that transitioned it in from the origonal. Which was pretty awesome.
My favorite as a kid was Space, as the villians were actual characters and pretty cool.

its why I stoped watching PR. I was a huge fan of the show, despite some of its sillyness and dawnson casting, but it just kinda dropped in quality MASSIVELY after Time Force. and Turbo was bad enough that I almost stopped watching the show altogether (Bitter irony, since the movie was really good)
My favorite season is the second season (where zedd made his debut), and the second place belongs to Time Force. Its a shame that they didn't really traveled to diferent timelines to fix things like the show opening portrayed (that was just 1 episode) but other than that..... yes it was a great season, with a really memorable Villain.
Getting back to warcraft: I think Sylvannas is (very rightly) concerned of other betrayals. Already Varimathras' betrayal costed her a lot. So, she's seeing potential traitors everywhere, and any sign of disloyalty is automatically assumed as secret plotting to overtrowh her.
This is (IMO) the main reason for her kidnapping Koltira to brainwash him.

Screw your nostalgia, feel the ecto-plasmic power of mine!
That Paronia could likely account for a large part of why she seems to be getting more evil. Look at any example of when a leader starts to think there are threats to his rule or life, they start to make decisions that can easily be seen as villianous.

well morec, she kinda DID brought it upon herself. She's been turning humans unwillingly into forsakens left and right. While some may have resigned to their fates, others may have resisted and refused to join her, there are others (like godfrey) who merely pretended to be on her side, but were plotting against her.
I'm more than willing to believe that that Galen is among them, as well as any number of former alliance recently turned to forsakens.
She has made more enemies than friends recently, and many of those enemies are within her own ranks, so she's concerned that another one may pull a varimathras on her.
This paranoia WILL bite her in the ass eventually. As I can see some of her truly loyal forces being alienated due to her own paranoid concerns
