    You do the math. hide show

    Kim and Ron end up at Global Justice. Dr. Director has some interesting news for them: the scientists believe that Ron is responsible for the success of their missions. Kim is shocked by this (enough to disrupt the opening credits!), while it gives Ron a rather...high opinion of himself. Meanwhile, an inscrutable foe named Gemini seeks to obtain this supposed 'Ron factor' for himself.

    While I'm not too crazy about Ron getting full of himself, I have to admit that, in light of his more recent exploits, I kind of miss it. His obliviousness to the danger that Gemini puts him through is amusing, as is the ultimate link between the new enemy and Dr. Director.

    Getting back to Gemini, it's a real pity that this wonderful, Bond-inspired foe never appeared again. One would think that the running gag of Gemini punishing his subordinates when they fail would wear thin, but throughout the episode, "...it's still fresh!"

    This is a fine episode.

    This episode is about the Ron factor. hide show

    When Dr. Director at Global Justice decides that it's the "Ron-ness" that's Kim's secret to success. The studies of Ron is now called the Ron factor. Unfortunately, this means being stolen by the lackey-intolerant Gemini, Dr. Director's older twin. Global Justice, Kim, and Rufus take on Gemini's fist of fury (and Pepe the neurotic Chihuahua) to recover the Ron Factor. This episode reviled that Dr. Director (girl) has an evil twin brother, Gemini (boy). My favorite part of this episode is when we see Dr. Director's brother and when we see the factor after the Ron factor ( the Rufus factor ).

    AN alright episode, but, nobody knows what kind of factor it REALLY IS... hide show

    THe Ron Factor, in production code order, is the premiere of Season Two. Like The_Huntsman, I too felt this episode wasnt one of Kim Possible's best work.

    The animation was still the same as from Season One and I am grateful for that because this show has a nice animation, however I feel Monique should have kept the dot-eyes look.

    Anyway, as it goes, Gemini was introduced in this episode and he was potrayed tremendously. I am rather disappointed by the fact he doesnt appear often because I felt his villany was truely great and underappreciated. Dr. Director was also brilliant in the episode but I just felt the praternal twin thing was farfetched, although good....

    overall, an alright episode because there was not much of Drakken and Shego vs. Wade and Kim to ruin the moment of this unique episode, although it could have been better; what happened to Pepe? and the others, that is what we the fans must know...

  • Affter Gemini fired Delta, he still was in the W.W.E.E. lair. []
  • Coloration Goof: When Kim and Monique are shopping (just before Ron struts through), Monique pulls a green shirt from a setup of yellow shirts. []
  • Why didn't Rufus just bite Gemini's other hand? I mean even though he's only a naked mole-rat, he's been smart enough to speak and understand Ron and do lots more. []

  • Gemini: You have failed me for the last time.

    This is a direct quote from Ernst Stavro Blofeld, leader of SPECTRE and James Bond's arch-nemesis. []
  • Name: Gemini:

    It's interesting that Dr. Director's evil (fraternal) twin is named Gemini, seeing as a constellation of the same name is composed of a pair of twins. []
  • Moonraker:

    Sheldon "Gemini" Director sort of resembles the Bond villain Hugo Drax from the 1979 Bond movie "Moonraker". []
