Saw them last night here in Bend. Good show overall, not the best I've seen of them. There was a little lull in the middle of the set where the energy died a little, then Spanish Techno kicked things back up for the rest of the show. Neko amazing as always.

You were lucky that Neko was with them for your show. I've only seen them live once and Neko was absent. If I had known that she wouldn't be there, I wouldn't have bought a ticket.

Don't even know the villain that you're talking about, but (and this is NOT a knock on you) I feel like saying Ledger and Nicholson's Joker's were the best villains has become such a lazy statement.
I mean, by villain are we just saying comic book movies or all movie villains in general? Great topic for discussion, if nothing else.
Yeah, true, I was just reaching for common reference points. Plaza's character, without spoiling anything, is a little bit comic book villain and has a little of that 'demonic' quality at times - but it's a quicksilver, complicated performance, and because of the genre, she's able to do things as an actress that you can't really do if you're, like, a Bond villain. I'm really at a loss to describe it- and it's also a performance that melds with the visuals of the show in interesting ways - so it's not, like, the kind of acting available in other films.
Actually a good film nerd reference might be this one:

It's like a modern day Greek tragedy. A million things have to go wrong in order for the end result to happen and if just one of them deviates, the outcome is dramatically different.

So pissed I don't have Starz right now. I usually only keep it when Power is on. May need to reup. Leftovers Season 3 is on point by the way.
Lastly, GOTG 2 today! Cannot wait....
