IIRC, SPECTRE was also barely referenced in OHMSS, and it was an indirect one--when Bond name-drops them to Draco before the subject switches to Blofeld.

Yeah, it was the only direct name reference post-You Only Live Twice. After 1967 it basically vanished from the original Bond timeline lexicon.
Well, now we know why he was in the wheelchair
DAF would probably have been so much better with Lazenby. It would more likely than not have been an actual revenge film and not some "well, the old guy's back now and we're gonna have some fun" attempt to make audiences forget about the events of OHMSS. By 1971 Lazenby's acting skills would have sharpened and he could have become a believable Bond out for vengeance and hunting down Blofeld.
As much as I like Charles Gray…or having Telly back…I might have had Rod Steiger as Blofeld…due to his intensity. For a more European take…Alain Delon.
I keep thinking how one line from Connery as he dunks whom he believes is Blofeld into the hot mud and kills them - "For Tracy" - would have added some weight to the movie. The rest of the movie could have been more or less the same goofy mess but at least one verbal acknowledgment of WHY Bond was hunting down Blofeld with such ferocity would have been nice.
Yeah I was reading about this earlier. He's already been on social media to apologise trotting out the "Some of my best friends are gay" defence!
Not every Bond can be Roger Moore I guess (not that Rog was always a saint
but he genuinely came across like a decent human being, even if he had his failings)

^^^This never happened to the other guy! 
Sounds like a case of an old man having lost the sense to read a room and control his decorum. This would be like if Leo attends a Titanic concert and started rambling on about his prime years in the infamous Pussy Posse. Like, dude, we’re not at the Playboy mansion.
I bet the bit about using a homosexual slur was related to him telling the story about Cubby and Harry sending a prostitute to his hotel room in order to find out “if I was a poofter”, or something along those lines.

George has always been notoriously loose-lipped and blunt so does this surprise me? No. Not remotely.
That audience might as well have gone to a Jordan Belfort seminar.
