I enjoyed Carigs turn at the 007 franchise. From Casino Royale (superb) to its time to die (?) was satisfying as only 007 can supply. The story lines could have been made closer in line with Ian Flemings books but overall, a good show as the Brits would say. One thing though. If they intend to replace bond with a woman agent, I hope this gets thoroughly discussed and examined. I respect everyone and anyone's contribution to the cinema, however, let's not entertain too much fantasy or we lose the foundation of the original premise i.e. The world of Bond is an obvious man's role. Let's be frank shall we? A woman's body even if developed and honed for fighting skills doesn't operate identically to a man's. Bone structure doesn't allow for competitive sports and would be unfair to match women against men for various physical outcomes. I only point this out because Bond (007) has to perform demanding physical contacts (hand to hand,) and to have a female Bond rank-high in this world is a stretch. It would also be demeaning to a female Bond's opponents too! Please do not take a defensive position on my commenting as I respect women. I only ask that the original author (Fleming) version be sustained and that this franchise doesn't try to awake (woke) itself or become political, social or hip in today's ever-changing world. Bond, James Bond is what we were raised with.
