You are calling a character idiotic? You are very strange in this thread.

Also, with continuity, i think it's well established that Craig's bond is a reboot to his earlier beginnings but is also in the same universe but a separate universe. In other words, expect no continuity with Craig's bond to previous bonds. However, there is "rumor" that Tracy Bond or some derivation thereof could make its way into the Spectre movie.

Which, nowadays, SPECTRE is a ridiculous acronym.

Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion

Well done. Ever listen to James Bonding podcast?


Thanks. And I'm afraid I don't.

One last thing that actually just came to mind:

In OHMSS, when George Lazenby briefly quits MI6, he is cleaning out his office. He has in his possession such items as Honey Ryder's knife belt, the re-breather from Thunderball, as well as other tokens from each previous movie in the franchise. Why would the new guy have in possession the old guy's things if they weren't the same person?

So clearly, going by the evidence above as well as the evidence in my OP, Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, and Timothy Dalton are all the same Bond.

TN Bhoy seems to have an awful lot vested in seeing Elba as Bond. It's some sort of warped moral preening exercise or something.

Wasn't Reacher supposed to be a huge dude? Like 6'3" 230 lb beast?
Yeah. Roughly 6'5", 230-250 lbs of pure muscle. A guy you definitely wouldn't want to mess with.

There is absolutely no reason at all Bond can't be black.

Whether or not Elba is the best choice for the part is another discussion entirely.



Actually one reason I can think of is because James Bond is Scottish

Elba would've made a pretty good Jack Reacher.

Why? It's a code name for a spy. Can black people not be spies?


Well, if you want to say that spies need to "blend in", being black in the theaters that Bond operates in is a definite disadvantage.

SJW's lobbying for a Black bond for the sake of social justice are more disingenuous and racist by far than those laying out the obvious reasons why it's a ridiculous idea. It's affirmative action casting and a case of soft bigotry.
