You mean his jacket on top of a jacket on top of a button-down? Well, yes, apparently he is wearing a charcoal crewneck beneath those three layers. ;)

Nope, he should be in a tuxedo!
I'd take Cleese's Q over Wishaw's Q any day, over the course of repetitive gazillion years.
I think the best 'Q' of the recent past was the Bat's Lucius Fox. The spiritual successor to Llewelyn imho.
An area where SF let me down was in the 24 'Chloe' style antics between Q and Bond while Bond was down in the Tube.
100% agree
All in all, I wouldn't want to see Wishaw as Q. Another character maybe. But, not Q.
I wouldn't mind.
I had major reservations about Wishaw as Q after Skyfall, but found him to be much better in Spectre. I'd be willing to give him another chance to establish where that character is going, although hopefully it would be done with much less screentime.
Moneypenny and Tanner should be recast, though, or just not used in the films again for a while. Harris is not well cast in the role, which is evident now after two films, and Kinnear's underplaying of Tanner has brought the pace of the films he's been in to a grinding halt whenever the character is on screen. Both are good actors, there's no question, but they're either miscast in the part or being given horrible direction with regards to how to play the characters.
Desmond Llewelyn went through a number of personality changes as Q over the years—from down-to-business professional in FRWL to exasperated and snippy in TMWTGG to warm and joking in GE. Wishaw could go through any number of iterations as Q. But yes, I fully agree on more limited screen time. It should be an event when one of the MI6 staff is featured more prominently (like Q in LTK or M in TWINE), not business as usual.
I just find it hard to believe Fiennes is going to want to do the part for that long. I have a feeling that if Craig goes, he goes. Hope I'm wrong.
