    I liked the exploding pen bit. I didn't mind them easing back into gadgets. Bond24 will undoubtedly feature more complex gadgets, and we've just been two outings with out them. I think it'd be odd to go from nothing to a laser watch.

    But I also did find the palm gun a bit of a waste, cool gadget to start off the Craig Era with but I was disappointed it didn't reappear later in the film. It just seemed like a last minute addition to the movie.

    I'm more of the mindset that the story and characters should be more memorable than the gadgets, so I didn't mind not having anything elaborate. That said I'm sure that they'll dig up some prototype that featured on Future Weapons to put in the next installment.

    I won't argue about the character being more memorable but the gadgets did play big parts in the old James Bond.

    I'm not disputing the fact that gadgets have their place in the series, I was talking about my personal preference, and why I didn't mind the lack of gadgets in Skyfall. My favorite Bond tend to be the more Flemingesque Bonds. Though like I said they could have utilized the palm gun at a more dramatic moment, if not at the climax. I feel it was simply a toss away, one use device.

    I liked the gadgets. Too many doesn't work for Craig's Bond, so I prefer the way they have had it.

    The gun was a nice reference to LTK (if it was on purpose) and the radio worked well. I know it was a joke but I still would have liked to see the ejector seat especially since we wont get a chance to now...

    They can always modify another DB5 in the future is Bond asks Q nicely. Though I doubt it, with the new Q stating in Skyfall that they don't do the old fashioned fun gadgets anymore. Boring computer geek!!

    I wouldn't like it if they brought it back, but if they brough another old car back that would be great to.
