Let's go back to the tar creature that killed Tasha Yar. My parents are nerds and I was raised a nerdling, every saturday when I was a kid we all watched TNG together. But the skin of evil episode scared the FUCK out of me. Here was an alien that wasn't at all comical or relatively close too human, just a boogeyman alien. I didn't sleep that night at all, or watch star trek for weeks. Now it should be noted that I was like 5 and had had a similar reaction to "Gremlins 2" but still, when I think of that episode I get the willies. For some reason even the borg didnt elicit this reaction.
