  • When Michael Wilson became one of the series' primary writers, I believe the creative process became a lot less chaotic than it had previously with, say, the revolving door of writers on TSWLM. Wilson's link to EON and his important role in the prod…

  • An alternate reality with three different remakes of THUNDERBALL starring Connery, Brosnan and Dalton, would be pretty funny.
