The Phalanx. They were the throwaway techno-organic virus race that provided
me more laughs than chills in the X-books. They were reborn for Annihilation:
Conquest, and they've earned a few of their scary points back from me.

Babylon 5 had some great villains. Bester and Londo were well
developed and you understood why they committed the acts they did but
they were no less villainous. Mr. Morden on the other hand was about
as close to pure evil as they come.
