    I predict that even when it gets a title, you'll be unable to remember it and keep calling it Bond 26.

    Only if it is especially unmemorable. ;)

    But, No Time To Die IS memorable. It's the only film to date where
    James Bond dies!

    It's also the one that some members railed against without having seen it. ;-) That's something I'll remember.

    I’ll always remember NTTD as the film that finally gave 007 a family rather than the one that killed him off!

    Until a new Bond is selected and introduced to the public, it's still Craig Bond's tenure isn't it?

    If so he could be a 20-year 007.

    Not sure about the logic of that. He’s officially left the role. There is no Bond. Longer gap aside it’s a similar limbo to the eight months in 1972 after Connery left the role. Or the year after Moore left before Dalton was announced. Even Brosnan left in ‘04 and there was no Bond before late ‘05. The only Bond whose tenure you can argue was still going during a gap was Dalton, and that’s because he hadn’t officially retired. Even then I’d go from their last film as the end of their tenure even in hindsight.

    I would say we have no James Bond right now, and haven't since 2021. Which presents a problem — who is protecting us from Spectre?

    Does finally mean you had always been hoping for that?

    Will the Craig era pick up twenty-five later with Bond's daughter becoming an MI6 agent?

    No. It means that for 24 films Bond had typically been depicted as a loner and NTTD was really the first film to change that dynamic, however shortlived. It was actually fresh and interesting to watch unfold on screen, and that plot point wasn’t something I hadn’t really expected EON to explore.

    You and I both know that’s a pretty ludicrous idea now.
