Like, consider the Borg. Man, you were seriously
afraid of them. THEY were a real threat, a real power.

Part of being a warrior is to know stragity. I think in later ST episodes, the klingons show their wise side, but for so many years, it was "LETS KILL EM" type additude.
ABOUT THE BORG - I agree, that SF series in general has not seen a scarier villan since THE BORG. The RAITH, in SG:Atlantis comes close, I mean, a whole race that needs humans as food!
NOTE to STARGATE writers - NEVER make THE RAITH nice! I mean, when ST:TNG made the BORG nice (Remember HU?) Now Lore (Data's brother) was a mean villan. When he made the Borg nice, it worked, because LORE was the greater villan.
I really like Stargate, but Replicators, System Lords, etc, while bad guys, are not really someting to fear. I remember seeing the BORG for the first time, and that was true fear!
FEAR, not in a horror movie sort of way, but fear in that, I felt that the BORG could have defeated the Federation.
Hey, the DOMINION on ST
S9 was something to fear also, at least in space.
