That's a fan theory that explains why James Bond isn't the same guy all the time (Connery, Brosnan, Moore etc.) and kept spying around from the late 60's until now. The idea is that 'James Bond' is a cover identity used by various Agents of MI-6. This would allow for a black Bond but it isn't canon at all. That's why the Craig Bonds rebooted the franchise to allow the reuse of characters (Blofeld) and storylines (Vesper Lind vs. Tracy Bond).
007 is James Bond. The Producers are very protective in regards to this. However, the other 00-agents are pretty much non-existant in the franchise. They showed up in 'From Russia With Love' in a short meeting scene (sans dialogue), 009 died in the first 5 minutes of Octopussy (sans dialogue). The notable exception is Alec Trevelyan played by Sean Bean (I think he was 006), the villian from 'GoldenEye'. You could ague that Javier Bradem's Silva from 'Skyfall' must've been a 00-Agent but it is AFAIK not confirmed. Oh, and another 00-Agent was mentioned in 'Spectre'.
The reason Bond was made a scott was because Fleming like Connery's portrayal so much even though he was against casting him in the beginning. Bond's heritage is a minor plot point (more of a trivia item actually) in 'OHMSS' and a major plot point in 'Skyfall' (the name of Bond's family home).
As I said, gender-swapping Bond is much easier.

Sean Bean not being part of the crew gives me the faintest of hopes that he might survive this one.

Well, they killed Sean Bean in the first season, of course they can only go after his family next.
That man dies sooo well.

Don't tell me if Sean Bean's character dies! I'm buying all the seasons when the show finishes. I haven't even seen one actual episode yet.

Hmmm... I say Sean Bean's character dies in it. Probably fairly early on, because the elf alien seems to think highly of him.

Sean Bean could make a vasectomy sound epic.

I laughed at one comment about the red wedding.

"OMFG EVEN PEOPLE NAMED AFTER A SEAN BEAN CHARACTER ALWAYS DIE!"

What's the film at 2:44, where Sean Bean dies in what looks like a WW2 fight between a German and a Russian?

I knew Gywenth Paltrow played Legolas though.

Laughed so hard at "only Sean Bean dies, gee, never seen that before" Too true. Has there ever been a story where he isn't dead by the end?

Wow not a single word about Game of Thrones I wonder if this was before that was filmed? Or maybe it's just not that popular in Britain.


I know, it's completely bizarre. It's why I watched it in the first place! This was definitely filmed after he finished the first series, so I'm clueless as to why they'd neglect to mention it at all, it's pretty damn popular here!

Wow that's a vest...fuck you for killing Sean Bean...take your jaunty hat back to fucking...wherever you're from you fucking...Fuck!

Sorry hanging out with Scottish people has changed my views on the word fuck.

I have heard some distressing news about Season 2. They are emulating Star Trek in a sense, where famous old series characters would make appearances in modern series to tie it all together. That always bugged the hell out of me when Spock would appear on Picards ship for example, or Riker appeared on Voyager.

Anyway, they are cashing in on the Lord Of The Rings and several of Peter Dinklage hobbit cousins from the shire will be visiting this season. And get this... Elijah Woods is confirmed. He will be "passing through the kingdom on a secret mission to destroy a powerful weapon" but wait, Sean Bean AGAIN tries to seize it.

Is this a good show? Might have to start watching.


It really depends on what level of camp you can suffer. Alan Carr is great, very funny and down to earth, but he makes Kenneth Williams look like Sean Bean

Man...never laughed so much at a bunch of death scenes...


I was a little weepy until the Boromir scene, then everything was a riot.
