The awfully insane is now a possibility, unless they restore confidence with Bond25’s story.
This one really is that important, cannon wise and particularly for us fans.
But i do have hope.
Yes,and he has to put her out of her misery in the PTS, but only has a machete and hand grenade to hand.
Eve: I think you're just getting started ;)
Boom boom...and for Thundy's next trick.....
What makes you say this?
The fact that a film is coming...

I didn't realize how young Froseth is. This is creepy as hell. Fukunaga is 41 and can get any woman he wants...and he goes for a 22-year-old? Off topic, I know, but this worries me a little. LOL
I was going to add that as you get older, a 20-year gap lessens. But still...gadzooks. 41 and 22?
Imo there's no need to fix anything in SP. But if they're goin to further develop the Bond-Madeleine relationship it would certainly represent a benefit for the previous film, since in SP their relationship was too rushed. Regarding Blofeld well, I don't see any problem in his motivations, since he starts to toy with Bond only once Bond started to interfere with his dirty business. Plus, I always loved the notion of Blofeld being a "specter" in Bond's life as a double agent. Of curse the overall execution could've been better, but it was a nice touch.
Yes exactly. As I said yesterday, a similar twist would make SP completely pointless, from a character perspective.
Totally agree! This is exactly the right approach for her character.
Ahah, nice one. That made me laugh, Panchito. Good show.
Whether or not Fukunaga is creative enough to be able to pull it off is another question.
This happens all the time. Look at DiCaprio and his series of gfs. Very common in Hollywood.
I still doubt that Madeleine is the main love interest in SP. Eon likes to go for new actors in the main roles (for that reason, we won't see Dona Lucia or Hinx again). Madeleine either breaks up with Bond, turns evil, or is killed. Or maybe she is called in for some sort of expertise on Spectre and she and Bond have an awkward reunion. Kind of like another Paris.
It's interesting to speculate...Occam's Razor still says she is killed. That's the easiest dramatic shortcut to get Bond back into the Service, without spending half an hour to get there.
Why use a country to double for another when you can just go to that country?
If it’s a logistical or safety reason then it makes sense.
But neither Norway or Canada are hotspots to avoid. Both would prove logistics problems in their own way.
I believe Canada is a lot cheaper. Look how many films and TV shows shoot there.
Bond has always used other locations to double for different places. SF used the Med around Turkey as a (unconvincing) double for the South China Sea. SF also used the generally quite flat Salisbury Plain as a double for the generally quite craggy Scottish Highlands.
Exactly. That would be up there as one if the dumbest ideas and plot points for the series.
Haha. You can't resist any opportunity to poke at SF, do you? ;))
Almost all of the Bond films do this location doubling.
Agreed. Folding this story back on itself again will not be the way out of this thicket. I think, if anything, it all needs ironing out. Either:
-Swan is killed, motivating Bond
-Swan is simply never mentioned again, like dozens of other women before her
-Swan and Bond have a platonic relationship (as with MP) and she collaborates on a case
Adding more surprise moments ("it was her all along!") would be like doubling down on what annoyed us about Brothergate, in my opinion.
