Would agree. Have to say that i think a little to do with it was Lazenby went all out to look like Connery though so he could have a better chance of landing the role? Brosnan was from a different time altogether.
<font color=blue size=7><b>The character of Q would be better suited for gender reversal than MP.</b></font>
Agreed. Plus we had Villiers in CR and Tanner since. no more secretaries. Moneypenny is a lady and should stay as one. Q can have pretty lady assistants that Bond can point the liquid crystal cameras at. :))
Laser Wristwatch aye? Can It cut through that labcoat Qutie? =))
Sorry I couldn't resist.
Bond would be way too distracted by Q herself to pay attention to any briefing, then all of a sudden he'd find himself out in the field with a briefcase full of gadgets, and not knowing their purpose. Nope, a female Q would be the death of 007.
Disagree. I do not want to see this happen ever? If it did then the next thing you know it will be Jane Bond! [-(
Female Q? Eh, maybe it could work, we've had a female M, but I'm very happy with the Q we have now. There's nothing about Q's relationship with Bond that couldn't work with a woman actor but it'd be change for the sake of it really.
But yeah a female Q would be miles better than a male Moneypenny so I agree.
George is the second best Bond to me, after Connery. Craig is third. Better directors and stories would have helped Pierece if EON had wanted to continue the tone of Goldeneye, which they could not.
Agree. And all George did to look and dress like Sean to get the part is on record.
Disagree. Leave them as they are. Oh, and Q still liking girls as we saw in Octopussy. I will not like the idea of a gay Q because Whishaw is, let's leave any deeper characterizations of Penny and Q off the table and concentrate on the storyline concerning Bond doing his job.
But it seems that most of the fellows on this site have trouble with women in any other role than bitch/babe. Dench got a lot of hate simply because she was a woman mostly.
I would not mind a female Q.
As for the current Q, he will play Freddy Mercury. :!! He will want 007 to ride his bicycle, and when 007 kills another one bites the dust.
At the risk of sounding like one of those fellows, what non-bitch/babe characters are there? Rosika from TLD- funny, but bizarre and unrealistic distraction methods. The old woman who drops her basket of cherries in QoS- no problem there. May Day- no babe, but an interesting and original character nonetheless. I assume Klebb, Bunt and Machine Gun Granny fall into the 'bitch' category.
One would think Dench gets more hate for interfering with Bond all the time rather than simply being a female M. She was marvellous in the role.
As soon as a women gets too meaty a role there are plenty comments on her performance and part even on this forum, as there were plenty of people who did not believe in Dame Denches part in the 007 series. Try to read some threads in the past.
While I like my 007 I have never minded the women, in fact they could have been somewhat more equal the last few decades. But honestly I find the writers lacking the skills to make it so.
And as for May Day she is indeed like Jaws a special case, they are great characters created by people who seemed to know how to do that.

This guy should be shot for blasphemy! IF Terence Young wasn't a first rate director I don't know who was. And NSNA wasn't an installment of any long running series but a duplicate of one film in a long-running series...
That is all.
I couldn't possibly disagree more.
What he said.
