Written by Mr. Mouseburger 2nd Jun 2005

Drax's plan to wipe out the earth and start a new society with a bevy of beautiful people has failed.

Bond chases Drax to the end of his spaceship where Drax turns a ray gun on Bond. Unarmed (or so Drax thinks) he delights in the knowledge that if nothing else he will rid the world of James Bond. One flick of Bond's wrist though fires an impulse detonated cyanide dart into the megalomaniac's chest.

While Drax is fighting for his life, Bond calmly opens the pod bay doors, parodying the immortal line "one giant step for mankind, Drax". Closing the door Bond then compounds Drax's problems by blasting him in to space.

if Hugo Drax had lived all human life on Earth would have been killed by Drax's poison gas filled spheres.

We know exactly where his corpse went, into the vacuum of space, silly! Anyway, I'm pretty sure this would be "Shot" or even more probably "Projectile".

"half-broken" said the closed captioning, what the heck?!
