I think the YouTube commenter meant Drax was way ahead of his time in reference to his plan to repopulate Earth with perfect human physical specimens, mostly Aryan-Nordic types. That's why Jaws turned against Drax and helped Bond at the end.

You're right, Drax's space station was based on the Death Star. Indeed, Moonraker was made due to the success of Star Wars. Just like Star Trek: The Motion Picture released later in 1979 was. Ian Fleming's original Moonraker written in the late 1950s was quite different from the movie. There, Drax stole some nuclear missiles instead of the Space Shuttle.

There is a thread about Vikings in the Movies sub-forum. There were a couple of discussions about who was hotter--Kathryn Winnick (Lagertha) or Alyssa Sutherland (Aslaug). I liked Alyssa better myself, but Kathryn was nothing to sneeze at, for sure.
