    One big question is why the Russian mafia let a former MI6 agent (or even just a guy with an English accent) take power in St. Petersburg.
    Easy, he had friends in high places (Ourumov).

    Thanks for giving me some theories to ponder. Interesting thoughts and in some cases, totally new things to consider.

    This next one was submitted by @SIS_HQ who wonders the following:

    After the torture from LeChiffre in CR how is Bond able to father a child in NTTD?

    As we know Bond is struck multiple times in the...ahem...groin area. One would think that some damage would be sustained, yet 15 years later he's able to father a child? What is our theory for how this was possible?

    Based on the laws of aerodynamics for a fixed-wing aircraft, the bumblebee is incapable of flight.

    And yet, it flies.

    I seem to recall that the doctors in the novel say that everything will work just fine after his recovery.

    Superman is the man of steel.
    Jaws has jaws of steel.
    Bond, well, he has balls of steel; scratching them doesn't change a thing. Also, we know that Bond shoots very well...

    There's that. And from what I understand, complete infertility is fairly rare: men with low sperm count can still impregnate a woman, men who lost a testicle to cancer can still have a high sperm count, etc.

    I never thought we'd be reading that in this (or any) thread, but I certainly appreciate the information. ;-)

    After the torture from LeChiffre in CR how is Bond able to father a child in NTTD?

    He didn't, Mathilde was Logan Ash's child. The whole plot was a ruse by Madeline to get Bond to kill himself.

    I think Bond would've still killed himself even without Mathilde as he still loved Madeleine, he didn't allowed Safin to have her.

    All I will say is that the human body has a remarkable capacity to repair itself. Bond is also somewhat superhuman and virtually indestructible (until the NTTD finale anyway) and this has been the case since the original Fleming Bond novels onwards.

    Imagine the thrill of following Bond's impossible mission to fertilize an egg, on a cellular level.

    Scientifically speaking, I mean.

    Just scratching


    the surface of a complicated question, as I don't think thay seeded the idea of a child just jet in CR. If it was there, it'd be an an embrionic state.

    The truth is:

    Bond went to a clinic and froze his sperm in 2005. You didn't see the short? 007: Loaded

    James Bond actually visited a sperm bank (and made a donation) in Raymond Benson's second Bond continuation novel, The Facts of Death (1998).

    I don't think Bond actually goes through with the donation. Rather he goes through the rigmarole to meet the head to the bank, and then asks her to be his "stimulation." Then he chickens out.

    Believe that would be a deposit.

    Ah, I see. It's been so long since I last read it so I knew I'd probably forgotten the precise details.

    That scene was great as it was partly inspired by Colonel Sun, my favourite Bond continuation bar none. That's one reason why I like Spectre more than most.

    This conversation has added another dimension to the scene though. I'm not sure that I can bear the mental image created! These eyes have already seen too much. 8-X

    Q Branch has smart blood, so maybe they injected him with their other inject-able gadget... Smart Sperm. :D

    Significantly more difficult to get a withdrawal from where he put it though...
