The idea that "James Bond" isn't a single person so much as a working codename makes reboot series with some overlapping support personnel completely tenable. You could have an Idris Elba, a Michael Fassbender, a Tom Hardy. You could also have one Bond killed in the finale of a previous film and have the new Bond avenge his death. And having continuing stories and character development from film to film adds a lot to the franchise value IMO.

Just saw movie. Had some good scenes, but geez it's so damn cliche. I feel like I'm watching Die Hard. What happened to the guys, whoever they are, that wrote Casino Royale?

This.

And go the crazy route.... kill Craig and have M want to keep the myth of Bond alive so bring in someone new and run with it.

Won't happen, but it would be fun for a few movies. I do like the continuous stories, but that's impossible to do with 3 year breaks as was the current process.
