Benson. Not only were they better in my opinion (and had something of a ‘sliding timeline’ like the films) but they were very much written in line with the films in terms of style. The Gardners are even more of their time, whereas the Benson ones …

Erm. Pierce is wearing a leather coat. Craig is wearing a waxed cotton Barbour ‘jacket’. (Though both are long, therefore both are coats) In those pictures anyway. I think Craig wears a leather jacket earlier in SF though. So am too confused. …

There is a *ton* of Moore in the Craig era. Which shouldn’t remotely be surprising, as that would pretty much be the actual Bond he grew up watching.

Kara and it’s not even close.

Vis a vis Bourne, fairs fair — the Bourne books started as essentially Bond fan-fiction by Ludlum. The first one you can even kind-of sort-of read as follow up to amnesiac Bond in the Fleming novels. There’s a reason the initials are the same. The …

See, ‘I showed them your watch…’ is actually perfect, because it also demonstrates his relationship with Q in that moment, and who is literally the only person ‘with’ Bond throughout his final moments. The fact it’s not even an issued watch, but lit…

Media shakedown. If it’s not ATJ maybe they can get EON to say who it really is, and if it is him, then it is a scoop. Either way they get column inches for a couple of days — including printing the denial (that wasn’t a denial, when you look at wha…

Bond is SIS, not Five. The problem with Bond in Britain is that it isn’t where he is supposed to be working — to all intents, in SF and SP he (and others) are rogue operators. But then, arguably, Fleming (and the MI6 of the films) was always writing…

The Craig era, for good or ill, is where Bond almost always *lost*. CR — lost QOS — win, and no score draw on the ongoing stuff SF — outright loss. Doesn’t matter that baddie died, he had one goal, and he achieves that SP — a win. Completed only…

It’s easy enough to write a way in for him to have survived. And even a way to deal with Heracles, and *even do it in a way that makes for an exciting story hook*. But — I doubt Craig wants another rodeo.

Everything about the film — the joke with the soup, the way Safin was growing and harvesting Heracles (whose name applies to so many bits of the film it’s funny) basically screams ‘Programmable Virus’ rather than *just* nano machines (which is basic…

The thing to remember about Slow Horses, is that a *lot* of that comes from the books. (It starts like almost a Spooks fan-fic, with a hint of Ashes to Ashes) But the TV series has evened a lot of stuff out for the screen — including changing the Bo…
