First off, this discussion was a lot of fun and very informative.  Especially for those of us in the audience who've never actually read a James Bond book (I know, I know, stop yelling at me!)  But one minor quibble/clarification:  You introduced Mr. Deja as the HOST of the Better in the Dark podcast ... but isn't he technically the cohost, along with someone else who is near and dear to The Chronic Rift???

Well, you know where I come down on this. I prefer the books and found that part of the conversation interesting. I will give the current producers of the movie series credit for not mining the current books for ideas though.

One of the things I wish we touched more upon in the episode was who had been looked at as a possible Bond in times past.  Adam West was one such person and he took his name out of the running in order to do Batman  when Connery was departing the Bond series.

A recent Google search on Bond turned up this message board entry asking about an Entertainment Tonight story linking Matthew Perry of Friends fame to the series. - http://boards.ign.com/bond_james_bond/b5063/1841976/p1/?6
