Finished all 25 Bond films (plus Never Say Never Again) today. It's been a blast & I have really enjoyed it. Here's my ratings for every EON film. I've retroactively given From Russia with Love a bonus point as I now have better context for my ratings. Hurry up an make a new one.

I'm posting this constantly until we can work out what the directors vision was.

Unless its was Stewart Morris screaming 'drown the buggers' because they'd pissed him off.

It's an episode that got caught up in Gene Roddenberry's unhappiness at Gene Coon's comedic take on the show, with heavy rewriting and then dumping at close to the end of the season.

And it's "20th century where Rome never fell" plot is a bit of a mess.

So that was Wednesday February 11th 2026. Crikey. It was a slog. Another day done, another day nearly here. So it goes.

(Dated this very day in 1967, TV Century 21 #108, with its cover featuring the mighty Thunderbird One.)

And so to bed. Sleep well,gentle sentients. May your tomorrow be kind.

He experienced one of those "self" moments, one of those moments when you suddenly turn around and look at yourself and think "Who am I? What am I up to? What have I achieved? Am I doing well?" He whimpered very slightly.
