I wouldn't count Buffy (or the superior Angel) as sci-fi though, they're much more in the fantasy realm.
As for the Doctor's Wife - it can't hold a candle to the ST:TNG Borg episodes, especially Yesterday's Enterprise.
Farscape good call.
Now that was amazing and very much what Lexx could have been.
Fantasy and Scifi are pretty interchangeable.
The only comparison with the Borg were the shaky special effects. Fair point.
But the Borg were ok as villains but inherently ridiculous (eek their walking towards me slowly, well walk away slightly faster).
