    Unless you accept the previous 20 Bond films are folded inside the 5 Craig films then it's not a continuation.

    And who knows what will happen for Bond 26!

    Deliberately muddied by some characters being played by the same actor.  Craig's films are all his life flashing before his eyes as Brosnan Bond died under the ice with Jinx in his arms.

    Mad rumours are Nolan for the next two as Fleming period pieces.

    We're forgetting Bond. What's that, 25, 26? Depending on if you count the original Casino Royale?

    Niven Royale and Never Say Never Again aren't part of the franchise.

    Yes, up to Die Another Day.

    Casino Royale reboots the series with a younger Bond who has just received his license to kill and does into its own little sub-series as James Bond is killed at the end of No Time To Die.

    Spoiler for the James Bond uninitiated.

    Those films are part of the franchise though.

    Is changing a car tyre that simple? You have to fuck with wheel nuts and stuff don't you?

    As a regular person you wouldn't even change the tyre, you'd change the wheel which already has the spare tyre on and then take the wheel with the duffer on to Kwik Fit or the tyre fitter of your choice.  Changing the wheel for a spare is relatively straightforward, but still requires wheel nuts and jacking the car up etc.

  6. I don't know how I missed it before but I've just watched "Woman in Motion" and if you haven't seen it and you're interested in science, science fiction, space, and/or Star Trek you should absolutely watch it.  It's on Paramount+ and Amazon Freevee.

    It's about Nichelle Nichols recruiting astronauts for NASA - for real!

    Watch the trailer, then get a pizza ordered and treat yourself to the whole thing.  It's fucking fabulous.  100% recommended.

    Taxes on eating meat??? What have I missed???

    Nothing.  Making up stuff with the implication that it will happen if the other lot get in.  Now Labour will have to waste all their time denying that they wouldn't do stuff that was never happening.

    ...knowing that one day this sort of thing might come out, he turned into a full on conspiracy theorist, so he can now rage against the "system trying to get me" and "dark forces" or whatever he prats on about.

    I hope it's not the matrix again.  Agent Smith must be absolutely wankered.

    @johnnyboy Does eFootball have a dedicated offline mode yet?

    Sort of.  Mini Dream Team competitions you can play against the computer.  Win X matches in a mini tournament to unlock a contract/coins/level ups type stuff.

    If there's a more indepth master league-esque competition you can play against the computer I haven't come across it yet.

  11. "You know what people love?  Lightsaber fights!  How about an episode that's nothing but lightsaber fights!" is how I assume the pitch meeting for that episode went.

    Separately, I've started playing Jedi Survivor.

    Spoiler for Jedi Survivor:

    Spoiler

    When you get into the story the parallels with Ahsoka are massive.  Space compass and all that

  13. Having just finished all of Strange New Worlds I am glad that it's absolutely competent throughout, with some really good bits.

    Thoughts in the spoiler tags.

    Spoiler

    They don't boldly go all that much.  However, from the not totally fucking the established timeline perspective it at least means we aren't going to meet loads of alien races that are never mentioned again in series set after this chronologically.

    Due to the not boldly going it does feel like there's a lot of bottle episodes in something that's only got 10 episodes a season.

    Way too much bumping into TOS characters.  I think we only need Bones to complete the set.

    The Lower Decks crossover and Subspace Rhapsody episodes were tremendous fun.

    There's sometimes an overbearing budgetary constraints vibe that's even more prevalent than the one in aspects of the Disney+ Star Wars shows.

    It does give me hope that watchable Star Trek series, that don't entirely rely on our fondness for Patrick Stewart, can still be made.

  14. Diet Coke is my first and only love.  Pepsi is never ok, just tolerated.

    If I'm feeling exotic I love to sink a Ting (fizzy grapefruit) which you can even find single cans of in regular supermarkets now as well as little Afro-Caribbean shops.
