Best scifi villians from TV series?

Well, I (undoubtedly along with many others) was going to vote for Khan. He was one of the coolest villains...so good that he got reprised for a feature film (and even got title billing). His fame has spread throughout the universe...what planet hasn't seen someone doing a Shatner parody of the infamous "screaming to the heavens scene".
Ming the Merciless woulda been a contender for his threat to entire worlds, but he's been portrayed in the movies in pretty dorky fashion. Same for Galactus in the second FF film.
I have to throw in a vote for Dr. Sevrin in The Way To Eden for a strong contender for most annoying villain. Between his cauliflower ears & the horrible hippyish music played by his disciples, he inspired true revulsion.

Remind me what episode that was? I am sure it would be first season.

I found early X-Files (this is especially the first season) the best.
Episodes like that Tooms was really great

I think I enjoyed the Spike/Drusilla/Angelus second season of Buffy the most if I can choose that combination pack.
ETA: I know you can draw a line between sci-fi and fantasy and Buffy would be on the fantasy side. I read this (given what people have chosen) to be the more inclusive sci-fi/fantasy genre that we're talking about, thus Buffy villain is my choice.
