| This might sound far-fetched, but it is not as far-fetched as SPECTRE's script.
Basically, back in the early '60s someone at EON had written the script for a Bond movie where Blofeld would be Bond's stepbrother, although that would be revealed a couple of movies later, whereas in the first movie SPECTRE would be mentioned only. Kevin McClory, being a huge fan of Fleming's books, knew this would be a terrible idea, and told Fleming, but Ian said that he couldn't do anything about it because he had already sold the rights to EON. Then, McClory tried to convince EON not to produce such a script, but he was ignored and he realized he could save Bond only by claiming SPECTRE his own creation. Before Thunderball was made in '65, McClory accepted that they used Thunderball's plot only if they dropped the brother angle. EON did so at first, but then they decide do use that idea for TSWLM, and McClory did whatever he could to avoid that, and made his own Bond movie. When McClory died, EON bought back the rights to SPECTRE and finally used the brother angle for their latest movie.
Go on and tell me this didn't happen. |

| There has never been a script written with Blofeld as Bond's stepbrother. Since Bond's parents are dead, there's no way he could have a step-anything. |

Go on and tell me this didn't happen. I don't believe there was a script about Bond and bro-Blo. I also don't think that Cubby or Saltzman would have thought that was a good idea… That said, I wouldn't have thought Michael G Wilson backed the idea, either. |

| Anyone remember my 'Warhead' fanfic on Old MI6? Fuck, it was great. Laser-firing robot sharks and Blofeld sans daddy issues. Could never find the doc since changing computers.

| Do you think the next Bond film should have Bond fight a velociraptor? |

| Only if Christoph Waltz plays the raptor, claiming he's taken a new name from the pre-avian side of his family. |

Go on and tell me this didn't happen. I'd prefer watching this movie over SPECTRE. Title for the sequel: McCLORY IS FOREVER |

| Deep n' gritty angles like this would've been impossible in Bond films pre-OHMSS. Connery's Bond basically showed no human traits beyond needing to stick his cock in something wet. Not that I object. |
