I was really on the fence about the sequel.  I put the sequel on, but
only watched a few seconds before changing my mind.

What did you watch?

The "let's let Connery cool down" Bond movie, "On Her Majesty's Secret
Service".  Part of the 2012 box set for the Bond 50th Anniversary.  Lots
of extras, including one on why Lazenby only did one Bond movie.  The
bits of the interview with him sounded like he knows he screwed up but
other make it clear there was a lot else going on as well.

What else was going on?  I don't remember, did he quit or was he not

I have plans to watch all the Bond movies later this year.  Some of them
I don't think I've watched in decades, so I'm really looking forward to
revisiting them.

 Be sure to include NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN.
 I include the 1967 version of CASINO ROYALE as well.
 

Absolutely, I'm including Never Say Never Again!  Although it's apparently not going to be part of the 4K set, I do have it on blu-ray. I was thinking about the 1967 Casino Royale today and if I would watch it or not.  The jury is still out on that one!
Here's where I"m getting my info from on the Connery set:
