I was unemployed for the last 6 weeks, therefore I watched a handful of TV shows start to finish. This was one of them.

I regret nothing :lol:

Never regret watching an awesome show!

Favorite episode was when they were camping in the office and ate a bag of shrooms :lol:

Yes, in the realm of Bond movies, while Daniel Craig reasonably rivaled Connery as the best Bond with his performance in Casino Royale, the direction that QofS took was so painfully bad that it left me wondering if the reboot was simply a head fake and we were stumbling back into the idiocy that was the Timothy Dalton era in the 80's, especially with Licence to Kill - arguably THE worst Bond movie.

And I'm not alone in that thinking either. Read the reviews.

As for Skyfall, it was at best a middling movie with an extraordinarily laughable premise. Well filmed with beautiful photography, certainly. But the story was stilted and poorly presented. The first third was a great movie but it falls apart as soon as Bond boards the ship to the island. What exactly was that whole scene on the ship? And it just stumbles from that point forward.

I mean, I expect the criminals to be stupid in Bond movies, that's always a given. But for Q to connect a confiscated laptop from a known sophisticated hacker to the internal MI6 network? And then the whole ending while visually compelling was utterly unbelievable and overwrought. Let's go isolate ourselves out in the middle of nowhere so the guys we know are going to find us can come attack us in massive numbers but let's do this so we can explore a little more of Bond's back story. Contrived is the word that comes to mind.
