There's nothing wrong with Volcano! And Dawn of the Gods does at least have the Trousers.
I suspect he thought the whole Jarvik character was meant ironically, as it would have been if, say, Boucher had written it. In which case quite a lot of the ep would just have been glorious camp. I don't think it ever crossed his mind that Steed meant the character to be taken seriously.
Actually, funny and often accurate as his take on B7 is, I do think he overdoes the fun and underestimates the dark side. He talks, for instance, of joky Star Trek-type endings - to my memory, admittedly growing rapidly senile, it only happened three times, which is one reason they jar so badly.
