  • Star Wars, I've liked that series for so long, but it's grown repetitive to me, no more directions left for the creators to go. It became stale, generic and formulaic (especially the story), and now that the Dune series has been out, it even show…
  • The Moore Bond films were always outlandish to me, so I think I've expected the outlandishness of Moonraker, I already know that it's a part of Moore Era's nature, but compared to the previous Bond films, it's the film that got it right: in terms of…

  • Maybe we could take some plots from the unused short stories like 'From A View To A Kill' with the SHAPE organization and the courier thing? I think that's a bit interesting.

  • That's the thing with Barbara and Michael, thinking of it, I don't think they would make the Craig Era as an isolated timeline, so I could see the Vesper references, and with SPECTRE, I think they've really made a closure on it (it's like they've co…
