#but searched and hired from everywhere but Jamaica…

[readingforaneternity]

So I watched the Migration movie today and I was enjoying it up until I met this Jamaican bird named Delroy.

The issue isn’t that he’s Jamaican, bc I’m Jamaican American and I love to see representation of my culture. But it was the voice actor that completly ruined the rest of the movie for me.

His accent was off. And for those of you who don’t know Patois and the Jamaican accent in general, it may be hard even realize, but it sucked.

My issue is that they casted an American who did it. Not even a Jamaican American who was raised with Jamaican family. I’m sure there are so many Jamaican actors and actresses that could have embodied the role so much better.

I don’t only want to see proper POC representation in live actions. I want it in animation too. And that includes language, dialects, and accents.

DC Comics Nubia Is Finally Getting Her Own Graphic Novel

DC Comics Nubia Is Finally Getting Her Own Graphic Novel

Wonder Woman’s twin sister Nubia is finally getting a standalone graphic novel.

DC Comics just released a press statement announcing that Author L. L. McKinney and Artist Robyn Smith will be releasing an #OwnVoices story of Nubia for young adult readers. The book will be available everywhere February 2021 and they are taking pre-orders now. Yes! More Black girl graphic novels!

McKinney and Smith will be adding a fresh, new modern twist to Nubia. Nubia who is also Wonder Woman’s sister has never been in her own individual book and has mostly appeared in Wonder Woman’s stories throughout the years.

The graphic novel will follow a teen Nubia as she navigates a world filled with racism, school violence and a number of social issues that younger readers are impacted by today. McKinney is an highly acclaimed author and most known for A Blade So Black trilogy. She continues to advocate for equality and inclusion in publishing, and created the hashtag #WhatWoCWritersHear. This is the self-proclaimed blerd first book with DC Comics.

“What’s funny is I didn’t initially set out to pitch a Nubia graphic novel,” said McKinney. “I was invited to pitch something else, but I made the decision when writing the pitch itself to add in Nubia. I’ve been a fan since pretty much birth, and I’ve watched her get moved around and appear in various iterations, none of them touching me the same way her original one had. I mean, this was Wonder Woman’s twin sister, just as strong, just as fast, if not stronger and faster. And she was BLACK! So, I added her in to my pitch for the other project. I guess something about her stuck out to the team because they emailed me and essentially asked for a pitch about Nubia.

“Fast-forward and DC loved it. When the hunt for the artist began, I knew I wanted another Black woman on this project. DC was on board from the start and suggested Robyn, whose art I immediately fell in love with. Robyn has breathed life into this story and these characters, and it wouldn’t be half as powerful without her. Everyone loves Nubia, we all want to do right by her, by the readers that have been searching for her the same as I have. I hope fans walk away from this story knowing that first and foremost,” McKinney stated in the official press release from DC Comics.

Smith is a New York based artist by way of Jamaica. She’s known for her own minicomic The Saddest Angriest Black Girl in Town and for illustrating Jamila Rowser’s successful Kickatarter comic Wash Day. Nubia: Real One is also her first project with DC.

“As an Afro-Caribbean artist, I’ve always strived to center the Black community in the comics I make, so being hired to illustrate Nubia was a dream,” said Smith. “When I heard L. L. McKinney was the writer, I was even more excited. Working together has been great, especially since our artistic objectives seem to be the same: all Black everything. In Nubia, I wanted to focus my illustrations on creating something both light and emotionally resonant. Most of my work is heavily influenced by Harry Lucey’s Archie, so finding a way to incorporate that charm and joyful feel into a story centered around more serious issues was important to me. I hope fans reading Nubia feel the same sort of excitement I felt illustrating the characters and their beautifully crafted stories,” Smith added in the press release.

Lesson 15, Task 1: Where do I live?

Toronto… Toronto is known for more than just it’s sky line and views. Everybody enduring in an Ontario lifestyle refers to this beautiful city as the centre of everything. The centre of entertainment, the centre of culture, the centre of multi-culture, the centre of amazing food, yet most importantly in this case, the centre of population.Toronto is the largest city in Canada, where 5,928,040 people reside. Toronto is also the fourth largest city in North America. Toronto is a large city that is still growing absolutely tremendously. Toronto is known to be a safe haven, and this is why such a high amount of residents live within the city. Toronto does not limit anybody from living within it. Toronto is the most multicultural city in the world, Toronto is home to a large amount of refugees, a large amount of people from all around the world in search of a better life, and a plethora of immigrants just searching for larger opportunities in life. Toronto is very different in the fact that population is not distributed by age, ethnicity, or sex. It is unique in the fact that all throughout the large city different samples of population are mixed to create one large community. Over time Toronto has experienced some monumental changes that will be looked at into further detail. Even though there has been changes, it is not believed that cultural conflicts reside within the community. Toronto is a place that adapts and molds to it’s demographics, Toronto is the centre of  the cultural mosaic theory.  

Toronto has a very mixed distribution of population. The population in Toronto is not truly concentrated in certain areas based on age and sex. Yet, there is some areas of the city which holds a higher population of a certain ethnicity than others. For example, within Toronto there are certain streets that are referred to “little” and then a country name. For example, there is a street called Ellington West which is referred to as little Jamaica. Little Jamaica has a high caribbean ethnic background population. Another example would be little Greece. Referring to the street of Danforth where there is a high greek population percentage. You also have others, such as china town, little Italy, and the list continues. Other than these well known streets, Toronto is known to be very mixed based on it’s ethnic population. Nearly everywhere you go in Toronto you are sure to see a wide range of different ethnic groups. A chart released by statistics Canada shows the different ethnic groups residing within Toronto based on population and percentage. 12.7 percent Canadian, 12.5 percent English, 12 percent Chinese, 11 percent East Indian, 9.3 percent Irish, 9.3 percent Scottish, 8.3 percent Italian, 4.7 percent Filipino, 4.6 percent German, 4.2 percent French, 4 percent Polish, 3.6 percent Portuguese, 3.4 percent Jamaican, 2.4 percent Ukrainian, 2.4 percent Russian, 2.1 percent Pakistani, 2 percent Sri’Lankan, 1.8 percent other, 1.8 percent Spanish, 1.7 percent Greek. As you can see the city has quite the variation of ethnicities, unlike anywhere else in the world. There are cities that can compare when it comes to amount of ethnicities, but none that can compare when it comes to the balance of all these ethnicities. Another aspect of the mesmerizing city that is mixed is its gender and age. There are 2,876,755 males, and 3,051,290 females that reside in Toronto today. This is quite balanced compared to many of the cities that make up this world. Now looking into the age side of things, 16 percent of the total population ranges from 0-14 years old, 68.9 percent of the population  ranges from 15-64 years old, 14.5 percent of the population ranges from 65-84 years old, and 1.9 percent of the population is 85 years and over. The Median population is 39.4 years old and the average population is 39.7 years old. This shows a middle age, this does not mean most of the population is middle aged, but it means the population is very balanced throughout the city. If you come to Toronto thinking you can make a one word description, it is not possible, this place is home to many, of all ages, all diversities, and all sexes. Yet Toronto has had to work to gain this status.  

From the year of 2011, to the year of 2016 the population of Toronto has grown at a whopping 6.2 percent. When you are talking about millions, that is a lot of growth for one city to endure. In the year of 2011 the population of Toronto was 5,583,064, The population in 2016 when the last census was done, Toronto stood at 5,928,040 residents. This is an actual change of 344,976 people in 5 years. The community and culture within Toronto has not changed at all. What has changed is the work Toronto is doing to invite more people into the city. The main reason for change in the city is the migration rate, and the immigration rate. Many people from smaller towns around the GTA (greater Toronto area) are now beginning to move into Toronto. This reason is mainly because many people work within the city, but commuting has turned into a problem as population continues to rise. Toronto star stated “The Toronto “census metropolitan area,” which includes the city itself and part of the surrounding region, remains the destination of choice for the largest number of immigrants to Canada. Between 2011 and 2016, almost 30 per cent of immigrants — 356,930 people — made Toronto their new home, almost double the total that moved to the Montreal area.” In my opinion, the main reason immigrants want to engorge themselves within the Toronto lifestyle is because there is no Toronto lifestyle. Living in Toronto you can keep the same beliefs, values, and cultural identities you have always had. This city is a safe haven, Toronto star stated “Since Justin Trudeau and the Liberals came to power in October 2015, Canada has opened its doors to almost 50,000 Syrian refugees through sponsorships by the federal government and private community groups.” Many of these refugees made their home in the great city of Toronto. Many Torontonians decided to host and sponsor Syrian refugees when they had fled their home country. This is a prime example of this great sitting deciding not to stoop to the level of the country south of the border that is titled the melting pot. Overall the city has not changed, it has for a long time been diverse, what it has done, is continued to hold the residents of Toronto accountable for keeping the cultural mosaic status; but Toronto isn't just the sunshines and butterflies it is portrayed to be.

Toronto consists of many disappointing features as well. In June 2018 a study came out that released the unemployment rate in the “great” city of Toronto. There was a 6 percent unemployment rate, which equals to 367,538.48 people who remain unemployed in the city. Now you may be thinking, “people need to try harder to find jobs” yet it is the opposite. Jobs need to try harder to find employees. This year the minimum wage in Ontario increased from $11.60 to $14.00. Ever since this has occurred people are getting laid off, left, right, and centre. Companies within Toronto feel that their pocket will be much affected if they continued to hold and hire employees at the rate the government insisted on. Ontario as a whole tried to raise the minimum wage so that people will become more avid job seekers, yet it worked in the complete opposite fashion. Toronto being an extremely large city was affected very heavily by this change that was supposed to be for the better. Ever since this change came into obligation, the unemployment rate in Ontario has been increasing on average 0.2 percent a month. As of right now Toronto has not been able to come up with any broad schemes to get the employment rate back to an all time high. Therefore no change has yet been restored.  

Every large city has its downs, unemployment, poverty, violence, discrimination. It is the cities that keep those stats at a small rate that continue to prevail and power through these negativities. Toronto is a community of love. Even though it is a massive place with millions of people, it feels so small to me. Toronto is a place that welcomes everybody with open arms. Many Torontonians see humans as humans, people as people. Not as shades and cultures. A plethora of different cultures is our culture here in Toronto.  A plethora of different incomes, and living status, is our culture.

Dr. No (1962)

Today Drew is forced to watch and recap 1962’s Dr. No, the very first feature-length James Bond adventure. James Bond is called to Jamaica to investigate the disappearance of an MI6 officer, and stumbles onto a plot centered around the mysterious Crab Key. Can Bond find out what’s lurking on Crab Key before it’s too late? Can he thwart the schemes of the dastardly Dr. No, or will he be the latest in a long line of disappearances?

Keep reading to find out…

Eli, you did a great job with your latest recap! I agree that the whole Stan plotline needs to wrap up already, but I can’t promise that that’s actually going to happen anytime soon. I’m running late on getting this posted so I’ll keep this short, but let me say you wrote a fantastic recap and I can’t believe you’re already almost on season seven of the show! I hope season six wraps up well for you, but for now I need to get this show on the road!

Buttocks tight!

Screenplay written by Richard Maibaum, Johanna Harwood & Berkely Mather, film directed by Terence Young

 After getting through our very first gun barrel sequence of the franchise, as well as the psychedelic title sequence, we follow a trio of blind men as they make their way toward a private club where a group of men, including one particular man named John Strangways are playing cards. Strangways has to leave to make a call, and before he can reach his cars the three blind men (who aren’t actually blind) shoot him in the back. They load his body into a getaway car and speed off toward Strangways’ house, where his secretary is transmitting some top secret data to MI6 in London. She never finishes her transmission, though, because the assassins arrive and murder her. They take her body away, and one of them retrieves a couple of secret files; one’s labeled “Crab Key” and the other “Dr. No”.

In London, the disappearances of Strangways and his assistant have not gone unnoticed. At a lavish club called Le Cercle, one Mr. James Bond (Sean Connery) is sought after by an agent of MI6. Bond is currently winning a high stakes round of baccarat against a woman named Sylvia Trench (Eunice Gayson), when he’s not busy flirting with her. Bond gets the message from the MI6 agent and cashes out, leaving his address with Trench on the way. Bond heads into the office, where he begins to flirt with his boss’ secretary, Miss Moneypenny (Lois Maxwell). Moneypenny is just as horny as Bond, not even minding when he explains that he can’t take her out because that would be an illegal use of government property. Hoo boy. We’re called away from this scene by a summons from Bond’s boss, M (Bernard Lee).

M lays out the situation in Jamaica, explaining that Strangways and his secretary were killed while Strangways was investigating a case as a favor for the Americans. The American government had complained about something interfering with their rockets being launched from Cape Canaveral, and they’d believed the source of their trouble had been coming from Jamaica. The CIA had sent their own agent, Leiter, to assist Strangways in his investigation, and Bond is going to meet Leiter in Kingston. We get a discussion about the gun bond is issued, how being a member of the 00 program gives him license to kill and how M is doing his best to make sure few 00 agents are killed in action. With that riveting exposition out of the way, Bond bids Moneypenny farewell and heads home.

He’s not alone when he gets there, though, as he finds Trench waiting for him in his bed. They bone, and soon after Bond heads to Kingston. Bond is apparently the most interesting arrival at the airport; a consipicous photographer snaps his pic as soon as he arrives, and a man with a pair of fabulous sunglasses is keeping an eye on him. A driver claiming to be from Government House tries to give Bond a ride, but Bond’s keen spy sense is tingling and he places a call to Government House himself. Turns out they didn’t send a car for him, so this driver is a big fat phony. Despite knowing this, Bond still gets in the car with the fraud and the man with the sunglasses follows close behind. Bond’s driver knows the sunglasses man is on their tail, and Bond tells him to lose the other car. They succeed in losing the car, but now Bond wants answers; he holds a gun on the driver and demands to know who sent him. The driver almost manages to pull a gun of his own on Bond, the two get in a scuffle with Bond beating the man into submission. Bond’s keen spying skills take a nap for a moment, and the driver is able to snap into a cyanide cigarette before he gives the agent any valuable information.

Bond drives to Government House himself, with the driver’s body in the backseat. Bond wants to know who saw Strangways last, and is informed that he was playing cards with a metallurgist named Professor Dent, an old general named Potter and Pleydell-Smith, the chief secretary at Government House. Bond goes to investigate Strangways house, where he finds a book on geology and a receipt from Dent Laboratories. Strangways wasn’t known for his interest in geology, so that’s something to look into. Bond also finds a picture of a local fisherman and Strangways having a great time together, and he asks that the fisherman be tracked down. Bond heads back to his hotel so he can enjoy a martini (mixed, but not stirred) before meeting Pleydell-Smith at the Queen’s Club and being introduced to Dent and Potter. Bond rigs up his hotel room with plenty of handy tricks so he’ll be able to know if anyone’s snooping on him, and heads to the Club.

At the club, no one’s able to tell Bond anything about what happened to Strangways, but he does find out that the fisherman from the picture he found is named Quarrel. Bond heads to the docks and meets Quarrel (John Kitzmiller) for himself. Quarrel is… less than helpful. He won’t tell Bond where Strangways hired him to take him on his boat, and he refuses to let Bond hire him to go anywhere. Quarrel tries to give Bond the slip, but Bond follows him to a little bar near the docks. Quarrel says the docks were too public to have an important conversation, but here they can have a bit of privacy. Unfortunately, Quarrel pulls a knife on him as soon as they’re alone and one of Quarrel’s friends tries to grapple him. Bond’s able to overcome both of them, of course, but then the man in the sunglasses arrives and holds Bond at gunpoint.

No worries, though, because it turns out this fashion-forward gentleman is none other than the CIA’s own Felix Leiter (Jack Lord). Leiter explains that Quarrel’s been helping him out, and everyone’s on much friendlier terms. Leiter, Quarrel and Bond sit down for a meal while Quarrel explains that he and Strangways have searched just about everywhere for something that could be causing Cape Canaveral’s problems except for the nearby Crab Key. Leiter is about to explain why Strangways and Quarrel couldn’t search Crab Key when that same lady from the airport snaps a photo of all of them. Bond has Quarrel retrieve the photographer, and asks her who hired her to get his picture. The photographer isn’t quick to give anything up, though, and slices the nonchalant Quarrel’s face open with a broken flashbulb. Quarrel enthusiastically offers to break the woman’s arm in order to get information out of her, but Bond passes. Bond destroys the photographer’s film and sends her on her way, wondering who could have scared her so badly that she wouldn’t give up any information.

Moving back to the plot, Leiter explains that Crab Key is owned by a Chinese man who won’t let anyone land there. Quarrel says the locals are all spooked by Crab Key, as people who go there tend not to come back. Bond is beginning to get interested in Crab Key, and asks about the guy who owns it; Leiter says his name is Dr. No. Later, Bond nearly gets sniped by the three blind assassins, but thanks to some luck and a passing car he manages to fare better than Strangways. Bond meets up with Professor R.J. Dent, and asks him about the receipt he found in Strangways’ room. Dent says Strangways had him investigate some samples, but there was nothing interesting about them so Dent threw them away. Bond asks if the samples could have come from Crab Key, but Dent says it’s not possible that they did. A short time later, however, a very frazzled-looking Dent hitches a ride to Crab Key. Dent has a very dramatic conversation with No, and lets him know everything Bond has already sussed out. No isn’t happy that Bond hasn’t been killed already, and now it’s up to Dent to make sure the spy dies. The method in which Bond is to be killed? Why, Dr. No wants Dent to poison him with a tarantula, of course!

Bond arrives back at his hotel and takes stock of all his boobytraps; someone has definitely been snooping around his room while he’s been out pulling a Sally Sleuth. Later that night, Bond’s in bed when his spy senses tingle and he knows something’s afoot. Under his covers, that poor, innocent tarantula is crawling all over him. Bond manages to get the better of it, though, and beats the tarantula to death with his shoe. Dr. No’s not going to be happy that his master plan fell apart like that! The next day, Bond asks Pleydell-Smith about No and Crab Key. Pleydell-Smith asks his secretary, Miss Taro, to pull up the files on Crab Key, but she says they’re missing and that Strangways had them last. Bond knows something’s up with Taro, and catches her eavesdropping. He lays on the charms, and secures a date with her later.

Bond, Quarrel and Leiter figure out that the samples Quarrel and Strangways took from Crab Key are radioactive, which contradicts Dent’s story that the samples Strangways showed him were useless. Bond plans on having a talk with old Dent, but he wants Quarrel to take him to Crab Key. Quarrel isn’t keen on that idea at all, as it turns out that Crab Key is guarded by a fearsome dragon. Bond doesn’t want to force Quarrel to confront a monster like that, so he and Leiter plan on checking out Crab Key later. At his hotel, Bond learns he has a message from Taro. He calls her, and she asks him to come and collect her from her apartment. After we watch Bond drive across the island in real time, he gets into yet another high stakes car chase, this time sending his pursuers off the edge of a cliff. Bond meets Taro, clad in a towel and high heels, at her house, and she’s clearly surprised to see him. Taro is called away by a phone call, and she’s instructed to keep Bond busy there for a few hours.

Bond and Taro promptly bone down, and afterward Bond tells Taro he wants to go out for dinner. He has a government car arrive, and Taro is carted off so that Bond can make use of her house. He makes it look like someone’s in bed, and then plays solitaire while he waits to someone to arrive. Someone does indeed arrive, and they fire a few shots into shape in the bed. Turns out it’s Dent, and Bond gets the jump on him. Bond demands to know who Dent is working for, but Dent makes a grab for a gun. The gun is empty, though, and, despite not having gotten a single bit of useful information out of him, Bond shoots and kills Dent. Later that night, Bond meets Leiter and Quarrel at the docks. Despite his fear of that terrible dragon, Quarrel agrees to guide Bond to Crab Key. Bond and the agitated Quarrel make it to Crab Key, and get some sleep before sunrise.

The next morning, Bond is awoken by the sound of singing and comes face to face with professional shell hunter, Honey Ryder (Ursula Andress). Quarrel warns them about the approach of a motorboat, and the three of them barely manage to hide. The patrol leaves and Quarrel and Ryder bond over their shared run-ins with that awful dragons. Bond had Ryder take them to the boat she used to get to Crab Key, but the patrol has shot a hole in it and she’s stuck on the island with the two of them now. Ryder agrees to take them to her hiding spot on the island, but another patrol his hot on their heels. Bond stabs a guy in the back, much to Ryder’s horror, and the trio are able to make it further into Crab Key. The trio come across some dragon tracks, and Quarrel keeps watch while we get some backstory on Honey Ryder. She thinks Dr. No killed her father, as her dad came to Crab Key when she was a kid and never came home. Ryder casually describes how she was raped by her landlord after her father’s death and how she got revenge by having him bitten by a black widow spider.

Quarrel alerts them to the sound of the approaching dragon. The three of them run out, and are confronted by the fire-breathing horror. Bond manages to partially blind the beast by shooting it in one of its eyes, but Quarrel gets roasted alive by dragonfire. With Quarrel killed by the dragon, Ryder and Bond are quickly seized by Dr. No’s men. The dragon carries them inside of No’s compound, where they’re scrubbed down (clothes and all) to get rid of their radiation. Decontamination has never been so easy! With their radiation washed away, Bond and Ryder are welcomed into a bizarre hotel by Sisters Rose and Lily. They’re taken to their room, and despite it obviously being drugged they both drink some of the coffee provided for them and promptly pass out.

While passed out, Bond is moved into his bed and Dr. No (Joseph Wiseman) himself comes to have a look at the spy. By dinnertime, Bond and Ryder have both woken up and found fresh clothes waiting for them. They’re brought to dinner with No, and Bond gets his first look at the good doctor. No shows off his abundant knowledge on both Bond and Ryder, as well as his own sweet as hell robotic hands. At dinner, No lays out his whole backstory, as one does. He’s of Chinese and German descent (note: much like the woman playing the supposedly Chinese Miss Taro, Joseph Wiseman is white as hell), with his father being a German missionary and his mother being a member of Chinese high society. Despite being an unwanted bastard, he eventually became the treasurer for the Tongs, a Chinese crime syndicate. Eventually he ripped the Tongs off and escaped to America, using the millions he stole from them to fund this little operation.

Bond tries to pull a bluff and tells No he’s sent a report about the doctor to MI6. No doesn’t buy it, and he has Ryder taken away so the men can talk business. No reveals that he’s part of an organization known as SPECTRE (SPecial Executive for Counterintelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion). No offered his smarts to both the East and West, and both refused so they can both now pay. No thinks Bond has a good head on his shoulders, and considered for a moment that Bond might have found a place for himself in SPECTRE. No now sees that Bond is just a pawn, and has him beaten up and thrown in a cell. Bond breaks out of his cell immediately, and after about a half hour of watching him crawl through some vents he steals a hazmat suit and makes his way into No’s control room.

No’s preparing to use his machinery to disrupt a major launch from Cape Canaveral, so Bond springs his master plan: turning up the dial on a machine labeled DANGER LEVEL. The facility is evacuated, and No is killed by being submerged in radioactive water. Hubris, thy name is No! The launch from Canaveral was a success, but Bond needs to find Ryder and get the heck out of this place before… whatever happens when the danger level gets too high. He’s able to track Ryder down amid the chaos of everyone fleeing the facility, and the two of them escape in a stolen boat just before No’s entire facility blows up. In the boat, Bond and Ryder run out of fuel and Bond’s prepared to get some quality boning in. Unfortunately Leiter arrives with the cavalry, spoiling the moment. They prepare to tow Bond and Ryder back to shore, but lets go of the rope so he can bang Ryder in the middle of the ocean in peace.

The End

~~~~~

What an intro! This isn’t the most exciting or engaging movie I’ve ever seen, but it was fun to see this first installment in the series and notice how different things were before the series hit its stride. My opinion of Bond at this point isn’t exactly defined, but I will say that I’m not terribly impressed with his espionage skills at this point. I saw the driver killing himself with cyanide coming a mile away, and it was obvious the coffee that was given to him and Ryder was going to be drugged. He saved the day just by turning that conveniently labeled dial, and even Dr. No died more because his robot hands couldn’t pull him out of that radioactive pool than anything Bond did. Yeah, Bond knocked him down there, but if he’d had fully functioning hands he would have gotten out in time and he and Bond would have fought some more. Speaking of Dr. No, the character himself didn’t exactly blow me away as a supervillain. He felt slighted because both the east and west refused to use his big ideas, so he uses a magical machine to disrupt missile launches from Cape Canaveral? I mean, alright. And, obviously, there was some pretty problematic stuff going on in the movie. Miss Tao and No were both Asian characters played by white actors, and Bond doesn’t have any problem banging Ryder despite it honestly seeming like she has the mind of a child.

But, despite all of that baggage and the wacky pacing of the movie, I have to admit that I still had fun watching this one! It didn’t blow my mind and I’m not sure how much I’ll remember this one after I’ve seen all the movies in the series, but it was fun to see Bond’s first outing and I’m interested to see where the series goes from here!

I give Dr. No QQQ on the Five Q Scale.

We’ll see you again soon as Eli dives into Sophia’s checkered past with his recap of the next episode of The Golden Girls, “Never Yell Fire in a Crowded Retirement Home”, and after that I’ll post my recap of next film in the James Bond series, From Russia with Love.

Until then, as always, thank you for reading, thank you for boning and thank you for being One of Us!
