"Villain of the week" (or, depending on genre, "monster of the week", "freak of the week" or "alien of the week") is an antagonist that only appears in one episode of a multi-episode work of fiction. A villain of the week is commonly seen in British, American, and Japanese genre-based television series. As many shows of this type air episodes weekly at a rate of ten to twenty new episodes per year, there is often a new antagonist in the plot of each week's episode. The main characters usually confront and vanquish these characters, often leaving them never to be seen again as in Doctor Who, Charmed, Smallville, and Scooby-Doo. Some series alternate between using such antagonists and furthering the series' ongoing plotlines (as in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Supernatural, Fringe, and The X-Fi

  • "Villain of the week" (or, depending on genre, "monster of the week", "freak of the week" or "alien of the week") is an antagonist that only appears in one episode of a multi-episode work of fiction. A villain of the week is commonly seen in British, American, and Japanese genre-based television series. As many shows of this type air episodes weekly at a rate of ten to twenty new episodes per year, there is often a new antagonist in the plot of each week's episode. The main characters usually confront and vanquish these characters, often leaving them never to be seen again as in Doctor Who, Charmed, Smallville, and Scooby-Doo. Some series alternate between using such antagonists and furthering the series' ongoing plotlines (as in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Supernatural, Fringe, and The X-Files, where fandom is often divided over preference for one type of episode versus the other), while others use these one-time foes as pawns of the recurring adversaries (as in Kamen Rider, Sailor Moon, Ultra series and as well as in Super Sentai and its American equivalent, Power Rangers). On other occasions, these villains return reformed, becoming invaluable allies or gaining a larger role in the story. The American action drama Burn Notice focuses on short-lived antagonists, but the final portion of every episode is committed to developing a larger story arc. The British Doctor Who spin-off programme Torchwood used this format in its first two series, before switching to a continuous story format. "Villain of the week" plotlines are attractive to syndicators, as it means that episodes can be rerun in any order and do not need to be aired in sequence as serials with continuing storylines do.

  • 「今週の悪役(Villain of the week)」(ジャンルによっては「今週のモンスター(monster of the week)」、「今週のフリーク(freak of the week)」、「今週のエイリアン(alien of the week)」、「ゲスト怪人」)とは、フィクション作品の1つのエピソードにのみ登場する敵役のことである。 今週の悪役は、アメリカや日本のジャンルベースのテレビシリーズでよく見られる。この種の番組は、年に10~20回のペースで毎週エピソードが放送されるため、毎週のエピソードには新しい敵役が登場することが多い。主人公たちは通常、これらの敵役と対決して打ち負かし、二度と姿を見せないようにすることが多い(例:『チャームド 〜魔女3姉妹〜』、『ヤング・スーパーマン』、『スクービー・ドゥー』)。シリーズによっては、このような敵役を使って、シリーズの進行中のプロットを進めることを交互に行うものもある(『バフィー 〜恋する十字架〜』、『スーパーナチュラル』、『FRINGE/フリンジ』、『X-ファイル』 のように、どちらのタイプのエピソードを好むかでファンの意見が分かれることが多い)。 一方で、繰り返し登場する敵の手先として、このような一度きりの敵を登場させるケースもある(例:『仮面ライダー』、『スーパー戦隊』およびそのアメリカ版である『パワーレンジャー』 、『セーラームーン』、ウルトラシリーズなど)。また、これらの悪役が改心して戻ってきて、貴重な味方になったり、ストーリーの中で大きな役割を果たすこともある。アメリカのアクションドラマ『バーン・ノーティス 元スパイの逆襲』では、各エピソードにおいては一度しか登場しない敵役に焦点を当てているが、すべてのエピソードの最後の部分では、より大きなストーリーアークを展開している。イギリスのSF番組『秘密情報部トーチウッド』は、最初の2シリーズではこの形式を採用していたが、その後、連続したストーリー形式に変更された。 「今週の悪役」というプロットは、エピソードをどのような順番でも再放送することができ、継続的なストーリーラインを持つ連載形式のように、順番に放送する必要がないため、シンジケーターにとって魅力的なものとされている。 (ja)
  • O vilão da semana (ou ainda, monstro/aberração/alienígena da semana) é um antagonista que costuma aparecer em apenas um episódio de uma obra de ficção. Este tipo de personagem é mais presente em séries de TV estadunidenses e japonesas. Como estes programas lançam de dez a vinte novos episódios por ano, geralmente há um novo antagonista em cada episódio semanal. O(s) protagonista(s) confronta(m) e vence(m) este personagem, que normalmente não aparece mais no programa (como Charmed , Smallville e Scooby Doo ). Algumas séries alternam, usando o estilo de vilão da semana em alguns episódios e focando na história principal em outros (como Buffy a Caça Vampiros , Supernatural , Fronteiras e Arquivo X , onde os fandoms e fã-clubes se dividem entre qual episódio é melhor), enquanto que em outras séries, os vilões da semana são apenas peões do(s) antagonista(s) principal(is) (como em Kamen Rider , Sailor Moon , Super Sentai e sua contraparte ocidental, Power Rangers ). Em outras ocasiões, esses vilões voltam como aliados dos heróis e/ou ganham um papel maior na história. A série Queima de Arquivo se concentra em antagonistas de curta duração, mas o final de cada episódio está comprometido com um arco de história maior. Torchwood usou esse formato em suas duas primeiras séries, antes de mudar para o formato de história contínua. Esse formato de roteiro é atraente para a redifusão, pois significa que os episódios podem ser transmitidos em qualquer ordem, e os telespectadores não precisam se preocupar em perder a sequência, como ocorre com o formato contínuo.
