Appreciating your post. I went through a mad bond phase a while back and tried to understand why I kept coming back, because, as you'd mentioned...problematic.... I do want to see a lady bond. Also, and totally random, but the description you gave of bond (asking if just one man or entity) made me think of the cylons in the Battlestar Galactica reboot. When one goes (is 'killed'), another of the same form is born, the same but different, and the essential bit of their mission never changes.

Thanks for reading. 🙂

I think of it as a desire to have that type of freedom and power in a world where many of us don’t have the same level of authority. And yes! I do remember the cyclons. Interesting parallel.

Moore was my generation's Bond. Went back and looked at Connery's Bond because of Connery. I'm in a film called Wild Faith with a Bond Girl, Lana Wood, but I didn't want to bug her about it in our brief work interaction.

Oh wow! My mother liked Peyton Place so I know her from that as well.

My rewatchings always begin with Dr. No so I have a soft spot for Connery and Moore.

I didn't really know much about Lana's career. I loved her sister Natalie.
