\nIn preparation for the next James Bond film, No Time to Die<\/a>, I’ve been watching all the movies where Daniel Craig plays James Bond: Casino Royale<\/a>, Quantum of Solace<\/a>, SkyFall<\/a> and Spectre<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In all the years I’ve been watching James Bond movies, it never occurred to me that the designation “Q” meant anything…. until tonight, when I watched Spectre. In a scene in that movie, M refers to Q as his Quartermaster. Q is short for Quartermaster.<\/p>\n

Can’t wait for the next James Bond movie…but until then, here’s the trailer for No Time To Die<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
