    This also goes for popular adversaries.

    Especially if they keep getting defeated, which makes them less threatening each time they show up. Looking at you, Borg in VOY. Farscape’s writers came up with Harvey specifically so they could have Scorpius make frequent appearances without diminishing his threat level.

      That’s why I like Q. Dude just randomly shows up, but never gets defeated.

        It also helps that while Q is always a problem, he’s rarely an actual antagonist.
