Andromeda basically did that with the pacifist Magog reverend its first couple of seasons.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They also neutered the Nietzscheans with Steve Bacic's final Rhade. It's a thing. No danger.
But, hey, Andromeda.

I was willing to forgive the lack of danger somewhat in that case because they replaced it with a bulk-sized order of pretty.

I like Rhade, but he's no Tyr. Not even close.

Unsurprisingly to me, I agree with ita. Though, I will admit that the Rhade guy is a hottie, and was maybe even moreso as Camulus for some reason.
But Tyr wins.

Ronon.
When he first came on, I swear to god I was like "I don't know if I can stand to watch this every week."'
(FYI, I got over it.)

I had this reaction to Baywatch Hawaii, but it was somewhat differently motivated. And I kept watching, because I needed me some Momoa.

If I only had a brain...
Ronon seems like Tyr Lite.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Those were my exact words, Betsy.
I'm glad I stopped watching Andromeda before they gutted it.
Good grief, I want Firefly back on tv. So bad.

Ronon, as much as I like him, is too pouty to be Tyr. Tyr was a self-serving megalomaniac hottie. Ronon's ... well, as hot as he is, I'm not sure how I'd describe him simply without going off-canon. He's the angry guy with the skills. Hot, but not that special.
