comment Was the Janitor real?
It's a pity they didn't develop this really... it could have been a really good surprise for the audience!

comment Why is a casino token used as payment in Skyfall?
It's safer because it's anonymous... there's no way to know who deposited for the chip. The employer probably has no links with the casino at all. However I like your answer about the clue - I don't believe anyone else has mentioned that. Finally I'd mention "21" where the girls are tipped with chips as currency, it's untraceable.

comment Where does Skyfall take place in the Bond timeline?
You're right, there's probably is Casino Royale a prequel or reboot question... however I'm not sure it's answerable.

comment Where does Skyfall take place in the Bond timeline?
I think you're arguing a point which cannot be decided except by the original poster clarifying the question or the producers. I agree with your reasoning and have upvoted your answer.

comment Where does Skyfall take place in the Bond timeline?
I think you could argue it either way... the original question referred to the Bond history, not just the reboots. I didn't see the point in answering them simply saying "Film 3 comes after 1 and 2)

comment Where does Skyfall take place in the Bond timeline?
@ChristianRau - I agree, I don't think the question can really be answered because of the structure of the films. They're not chronological. However, if you were to consider them as a history of a character these are the best clues I could think of.

comment Why does James Bond use his real name?
My problem with this answer is that it only demonstrates that he does sometime use aliases rather than why he doesn't always use them... good resource nevertheless!

comment In Star Trek Into Darkness who was the saboteur?
I'm going to upvote this but I'm a little reluctant to mark it as the answer... it's pretty much where I'd got to. It could be one of these things but we don't really know...

comment Why did Frodo need to go it alone, leaving Aragorn and Legolas behind?
For a little expansion in the books Bombadil is discussed and discarded because he'd probably just forget about it and lose it...

comment Woman wakes up on spaceship in garden, what is it from?
You know you're making me think of the Doctor Who episode Flesh and Stone, Amy wasn't asleep but she had her eyes closed and there's a conversation about not remembering what happened when she was a child...

comment Why does James Bond use his real name?
@TylerShads I've not heard that one. I'd throw in there that in GoldenEye 006 is named as Alec Trevelyan implying that not all 00s are called JB.

comment Why does James Bond use his real name?
I found this interesting comment on Wikipedia - "In the first draft of Casino Royale he decided to use the name James Secretan as Bond's cover name while on missions."

comment How is naming done in MI6?
A little extra bit not worthy of a separate answer. The system isn't 1-10, in The World is Not Enough a 0012 was mentioned.

A fantastic answer - thanks!

comment Wasn't River crossing her own timeline?
It's one of those tricky ones, it's a TV show but it's a sci-fi... I'm not a member of SciFi so I posted it here!

comment Which movie has the quote “when you gaze long into an abyss…”
You've explicitly said it's not a TV show so I'm adding this as a comment rather than an answer. However I believe it's quoted in S1E2 of Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda

comment Is the kid a reference to another marvel hero?
Yeah, that's why I only commented - I don't feel qualified to answer this one!

comment Is the kid a reference to another marvel hero?
I suspect if he was going to have any greater role he'd be an established Marvel character... a quick google suggests he isn't. I'm not sure this is a question which has an answer at this time.

comment Could the Death Star travel faster than light?
Given he was writing a sci-fi you'd have thought he'd have worked that one out! That and what a parsec is!

comment Could the Death Star travel faster than light?
Logically you have to be right... perhaps a better question would have been "Why do we never see the Death Star" enter hyperspace?
