In the wrong hands, Q and MP are played by dumb formula, reduced to one of many elements on a check list. In too insecure hands, Q and MP are absent entirely, playing it safe (or being lazy?) rather than spending some effort on giving them good scenes too. However, when you bring back Q and MP yet with a few surprisingly fresh and original twists, the strictly formulaic or their complete absence will be outmatched.
But @DC is right. I'm worried that if they do bring back Q, it will ruin the memory of DL. Its hard to think of a way Q will fit in with Craig's Bond. And if Bond keeps his rogue antics up, we'll never see him and MP in the same room, let alone same country.
We haven't even seen M's office in Craig's Bond yet (her home doesn't count)!
IMO a classic bond contains the following:
exotic location(s)
hot female costar(s)
Q briefing scene
M briefing scene
car chase(s)
villain (obv)
Let only movie I'll let slip is CR, was good enough without all of the following.
*Reasoning for leaving out gadgets:
Plenty of the films have been VERY good with little to no gadgets. FRWL and CR are the best examples. DAD is an example of gadgets gone horrid. The opening of TWINE bond has an explosive gun, which is a simple gadget, and that pre credit scene, imo, has one of the most spy-ish vibes to it.
I think Hamilton should have had a cut away shot of the island. This jump cut doesn't harmonise with the rest of the film as it is without them and not as fast paced.
If M gets a new secretary, she might as well get another name, not MP.
The whole suspense of that final 30 seconds is based around the viewer seeing the maze through Scaramanga's perspective. Bond disguised as a mannequin should have an element of surprise. Foreshadow that earlier on, and you lose a lot of the tension.
"Usted declaró que estar en forma era una obsesión.
Es que tiene que serlo: no hay otra manera de conseguirlo. Es muy duro. Por suerte, para encarnar a Mikael Blomkvist no tengo que estar en forma... Y es una delicia. Puedo comer y beber lo que quiera. Pero esta licencia física tiene fecha de caducidad. En breve volveré de nuevo al gimnasio para prepararme para el nuevo Bond.
Hablando de Bond, suponemos que no nos puede confirmar nada pero, ¿será Javier Bardem su próximo enemigo?
Me encantaría, pero no puedo decir nada. Ojalá. Javier Bardem es uno de mis actores favoritos. Solo puedo decir un par de cosas: hoy no lo sé al cien por 100. Y la segunda: no quiero decir nada que pueda poner en peligro su participación. Si lo ves, háblale bien de mí y del proyecto (risas).
¿Y cómo será el nuevo Bond? ¿Da por finiquitada la trama que explotaron en 007: Casino Royale y 007 Quantum of Solace?
Han pasado más de dos años, tenemos que ir a buscar algo nuevo. Estos días he estado con Sam (Mendes, el director de la 23ª entrega de 007), y el guión va tomando forma. El plan es rodar una entrega autónoma, una cinta tan bondiana como sea posible: con la pirotecnia y recursos habituales de la saga y el regreso de algunos personajes conocidos...
Tras El ultimátum de Bourne (Paul Greengrass, 2007), Matt Damon dijo que Bond era un icono misógino, fascista y al servicio del poder...
¡Qué tío más rencoroso! (risas).
... pero eso lo dijo antes del estreno de 007: Casino Royale y asistir a la nueva versión que usted representó. ¿Qué le respondería?
Que Matt Damon es un tipo muy gracioso.... Y que yo no traje ninguna nueva versión a la saga. Me dieron libertad para recrear la imagen que se traza de Bond en sus primeras novelas. Me contrataron para encarnar una visión determinada. Nunca me propuse actualizar a James Bond. ¿Cómo se actualiza un símbolo?"

So, as we expected, Bond 23 will be a stand alone film. And it seems Q and/or Miss Moneypenny will return.
Both great news if you ask me.
And, yes a separate film could be nice, we may be taking the Goldfinger route in that case, with Quantum returning in Bond 24. This also means Moneypenny and others may will be returning. Craig seems to be letting out more as time gets on. :-D
I also like Craig's answer on the Damon issue. B-)
I like the title 'Quantum Disbanded' for it.
I hate to use the word "revenge", but a revenge story done well. Not a-la LTK or DAF. Or QOS (If it counts).
I'm not the biggest Lazenby fan by any means, but had they done it properly, with him - it could have been great!
Daniel Craig told me "We have an amazing script this time I’m incredibly excited about it. Its fun its gonna be a proper James Bond movie."

Any idea if or when we'll be able to watch this interview in either written or video form?
It'll be a bit outdated upon relase then.
I take it Craig may be doing The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo interviews as well? That also has a December release.
*Sarcasm*
I mean how much could they do? Radar/map system. My civic essentially comes with that. The realistic "Bond Car" is outdated, unless you could give me an example of something realistic. No rockets, lasers, submarine capabilities, sledgehammer-proof, jax, crap. I mean, resealable tires (runflats), light light light armor, bullet resistant glass, and hidden compartments. What else could their be in a Craig Bond film?
Maybe some kind of cooling system in the engine bay that would made the car difficult to detect or target by thermal imaging by pumping liquid nitrogen through pipes set into the chassis.
A protective film over the windows that would negate the effects of glare. It would be useful if a villain tried to blind Bond with some kind of flash-bang weapon while he was driving.
A GPS-like device that would connect to a spy satellite rather than a GPS satellite, enabling Bond to watch the villains.
A biometric keyless entry system that would allow Bond - and only Bond - to unlock and start the car in a hurry by simply approaching it, and disables the car if someone other than Bond tries it.
I could also see maybe focused EMP pulses, not necessarily a car application. Also, there is this relatively new creation that focuses sound to disable enemies, called "Acoustic Energy." There is also an "Active Denial System" than essentially shoots rays of energy to deter people. The video linked below contain both of these. The first, at around 2min, is the ray gun. The other video embedded is the LRAD, the sound gun:
Both of these could be applied to a car, and aren't completely ridiculous. The emp pulse would be interesting, not quite sure how you could effectively aim with it. Well.. same with the other two. Wouldn't be applicable if Bond had to point the car in a direction.
