On a less nitpicky note about Skyfall, it seemed a little odd to me that we've seen only the beginning and what's feeling like the end of Daniel Craig as James Bond.

Much was made about his aging in Skyfall (he's still hot stuff, but time is not being kind to his particularly craggy looks), and the film is not subtle about him being too old to be a Double Oh (in fact failing the tests for reinstatement as an MI6 agent).

Since Casino Royale was his debut as a Double Oh, and Quantum of Solace took place immediately after that ... will there be a web series or an animated take on this James Bond's actual exploits? His obituary in Skyfall mentioned he's a Commander, and in the other two films he was barely above a recruit. What have we been missing?



Also ... the overt nod to Goldfinger was one thing. But the "Circle is Now Complete" ending just reeks of goodbye to Daniel Craig as James Bond. Reportedly he wants out of his 5-film contract, but Alex heard him muse on future installments of the series. I don't know what to make of it. But at the very least I feel we've been gipped out of Daniel Craig's prime James Bond adventures. (Le sigh.)
