    I don't disagree. I'm one of those people who thinks it's a perfectly fine Bond movie. Get the dislike. Don't get the rabid hatred.

    SP takes place in 2015. Bond 25 will take place in 2019.

    Here's a view on Mackenzie who I had as my third pick... I need to watch Hell or High Water again:

    But SP didn't take place in 2015 @QuantumOrganization; it happened soon after M's death. She sent Bond the video telling him about Sciarra-- and she wasn't looking three years into the future when she made that video.

    SP is months after the events of SF, which is around 2012-13, @QuantumOrganization.

    And as an aside: when is this announcement to be made? You stated late August/early September...

    Every Bond takes place in the year it's made.

    There is a notepad on Swann's desk dated April 2015.

    Not how it works in Bond. It takes place in the year it's made.

    Bond has always had a sliding timeline, it's just more noticable now with how interconnected DC's movies are.

    Ah, but the date on the Greene Planet invitation says otherwise!

    Yes, when Mr. White is kneecapped in the closing moments of CASINO ROYALE then is taken for a ride in the boot of the Aston Martin with the opening of QUANTUM OF SOLACE.

    And to absorb @pachazo's point, I guess now things happen in Bond Time. In the Year of Our Bond.

    The action takes place in 08. Like I said, it takes place in the year it's made.

    OHMSS takes place over two years. There is a new years celebration.

    Wait, wait, wait, Bond had White in his Aston Martin's boot (trunk) for two years??

    And was released, appropriately, a week before Christmas.

    ... and if White was in Bond's trunk for two years, that bullet wound would have surely infected, giving him gangrene, no??

    They do, and there's no sense in overanalyzing it. It's not meant to be thought over.

    Wow that's interesting; never knew about that plot hole in QoS timeline wise.

    Exactly.

    There is no hole, because there is no rigid timeline. Every Bond film takes place in the moment.

    Just having a little fun @jake24 , since I was one of the people, in the DC timeline to take it a little more seriously (pre-Craig, i didn't think of proper continuity and timelines). I assumed CR/QoS was 06-07, SF (when he's a more seasoned agent), takes place in '12 (about six years after QoS), and SP as being 2012-13.

    Fair enough, @peter, but again, the more you analyze it, the more you'll drive yourself to insanity.

    For me personally. QOS is in 2006. Party slip be damned.

    The year makes no difference. It could say 2027. The story is the important element, the date is an arbitrary element.

    Agreed. Just like SP is set in 2012-2013 as far as I'm concerned (regardless of the date on Swann's tablet).

    There's no way it took the forensics three years to release Bond's personal effects from Skyfall.
