->[[Creator/DonaldPleasance Pleasance]] is, in many respects, the most cliché Bond bad guy ever. He has the most lovely (and extravagant) lair that Ken Adams ever designed. He has a pool of piranha in his hidden volcano lair. He has the technology to kidnap space ships… and ''[[CutLexLuthorACheck couldn’t be bothered making a legitimate fortune off it]]''. He has Bond at his mercy repeatedly, and… shoots other random characters instead [...] he literally looks like a baby, a petulant child that Bond needs to sort out. Kingsley Amis argued that the best of Fleming’s villains were dark father figures, but I think the films also supported the idea that they were malicious overgrown children.

->Anyway, it's time to kill off the Jedi. Oh, good. How do they go about it? Well, they start pumping an obvious deadly white gas into the room; this alerts them to danger.\\\
Well actually, blowing up their ship does.

->That quote up at the top of my review is from [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles a children's movie]] that more thoroughly understood what villainy is than ''Smallville'' seems capable of. This version of Lionel is supposed to be [[EvilTwin utterly ruthless and without mercy]]. So why does he go all Bond villain on Lois and just wave a gun at her while monologuing, rather than doing what someone of his character would in real life; shoot her in the head?\\\
Because Lois [[PlotArmor isn't allowed to die.]] And so Lionel [[VillainDecay isn't allowed to be Lionel.]]\\\
Good writing ensures that characters aren't put in situations where they have to behave contrary to their nature just to further plot. Lois should be dead ([[DistressBall twice this episode]]) but she isn't because she can't be. The solution? Don't put Lois in a situation where the only logical outcome is death. This was an example of pure lazy writing and I'm utterly sick of being asked week after week to swallow this kind of garbage in the name of advancing the story.

->''"The Smoking Man doesn’t want Mulder killed because they would risk turning his work into a crusade, but by taking Scully away from him in such a soul crushing way they have sent him a warning to do as he’s told. Unfortunately they don’t understand quite who they are dealing with. Mulder is not the sort of man who is told how to behave and will be off chasing the next X-File as soon as possible. And shagging vampires."''

->''"Anyway, it's time to kill off the Jedi. Oh, good. How do they go about it? Well, they start pumping an obvious deadly white gas into the room; this alerts them to danger. Well actually, blowing up their ship does. I guess they should've pumped in the gas first, and once the Jedi were dead, ''then'' blown the ship up? ...Just [[GetOut tell 'em to leave!]] That you don't wanna negotiate! And then, when their ship flies out of your space dock, SHOOT IT WITH LASERS. Also, we need to consider the fact that killing two Jedis that were sent there as peaceful ambassadors would be a pretty heinous crime in the eyes of the Galactic Senate, the organization that runs ''everything'' (including space taxes). I mean, you could just [[TheCoronerDothProtestTooMuch claim they never got there]].
