10 Most Overrated Star Trek Villains

7. Zhat Vash

A product of Star Trek: Picard, the super secret Zhat Vash were sworn to destroy all artificial life.

Why? Because thanks to the discovery of the Admonition on planet Aia, the Zhat Vash were instilled with a life-changing and monstrous vision of the future which could turn them mad.

Experiencing something that horrific that it could lead you to suicide is extreme at the least but their operations do offer up a lot of questions about their abilities.

The visions immediately cut their numbers and then during Picard we only see two of their number active; Commodore Oh and Narissa. Both are fairly ineffective in their roles given the secrecy and sense of impending doom that their name should cause. Narissa allows Elnor to escape and is kicked into touch by Seven of Nine while Oh flees with not even her pride intact after facing the Federation fleet.

Why would they not have sent more on such an important mission to eliminate Soji and why were the Zhat Vash not present a lot earlier in the Star Trek timeline to eliminate Data, Lore and B-4?

Apparently not and after much moustache-twirling their impact as an organisation is negligible and out in the open.

A Star Trek fan from birth, I love to dive into every aspect of the franchise in front and behind the screen. There's something here that's kept me interested for the best part of four decades! Now I'm getting back into writing and using Star Trek as my first line of literary attack. If I'm not here on WhatCulture then you're more than welcome to come and take a look at my blog, Some Kind of Star Trek at http://SKoST.co.uk or maybe follow me on Twitter as @TheWarpCore. Sometimes I force myself not to talk about Star Trek.
