Now, granted, a lot of writers, including myself have described Ron as her sidekick when writing about the duo, but I've been trying to wean myself from doing that by calling him a partner or just not mentioning it at all. It's like the episode "The Ron Factor" basically said, Ron is the key to Kim's success. She may have been like, "no. that's not it. It's genetics... blah blah blah. [Insert some B.S. a la KP]" But, she knows, and the KP before TRF would have never said, "I can't save the world without you, Ron." or the like (I don't remember the exact line from ASIT). But, Kim knows that when it comes to saving the world, she needs help, as one seventeen-year-old girl with a great sense of fashion, great hair, and some great martial art moves cannot do it alone.

I agree with Ashley, Kim could not do it alone. There are many examples where Ron is the one who defeats the dad guys Bueno nacho, he figures out how to use the angle adjustment on the drill, and melts the cheese wheel In Sink or Swim, he does everything while the rest of the cheer squad is slimed to trees/walls During blush, Ron is the one who goes and finds the flower to stop Kim from vanishing That is just to start….
Ron may seem like a sidekick at first glance, but when one really looks at all he does, it is clear that he is a vital part of team possible, and is much more than just a sidekick.
If one wonders why Kim always has Ron be the distraction, it could be said that it is because Ron really cannot fight against shego, or 10 henchmen at the same time, and those distractions are often what are required to allow team possible to win.

Yeah Ron's duties are by no means 'odd jobs' that get given to him to keep him busy, they actually contribute to the overall plan. Sure, Kim does more work than Ron on missions - but they still compliment eachother perfectly. Kim's the muscle (though that's changing as Ron starts to get more involved in fight scenes), while Ron does...well, whatever he does

Okay this is bugging me.... The title isn't "And The Naked Molerat Will Be CGI" there's no "Naked" in the title... Just for future reference, it's "And The Molerat Will Be CGI" Taken specifically from Jimmy Blamhammer's line...
