Hidden Villain: Difference between revisions

Line 78:

* ''[[Bones]]'' did this with the serial killer Gormagon as well as the Gravedigger, whose identities were only revealed late or in the end of their story arcs.

* At least two members of the ''[[Person of Interest]]'' [[Rogues Gallery]] finally appeared onscreen, after several episodes of [[Foreshadowing]] and references, as that week's person of interest in disguise. Namely, {{spoiler|[[Diabolical Mastermind|Elias]] (in "Witness") and [[The Cracker|Root]] (in "Firewall")}}.

* The Reavers in ''[[Firefly]]''. While the protagonists frequently [[Nothing Is Scarier|found their infernal technology and the aftermath of their atrocities]], these alien abominations were never shown on screen.<ref>Though they might have, had the show not been abruptly canceled after 14 episodes.</ref> The closest they came to an actual appearance was a victim turning into one after getting A Face Full of Reaver Wing Wong. Not that it mattered, as the Reavers were pretty terrifying without being seen, especially given what Zoey said would happen to them should they actually encounter them:

{{quote|'''Zoey:''' If they take the ship, they’ll rape us to death, eat our flesh, and sew our skins into their clothing, and if we’re very, very lucky, they’ll do it in that order.}}

:* They did, however, appear in ''[[Serenity]]'', the follow-up movie.
