Interesting! Because they now know that it can all be over quickly again? Would EON dare to let Bond die again?

Wow! Thanks for showing this! Itās years ago that I bought it on Ebay, I honestly canāt remember how it looked liked, but itās probably the same, because I donāt think there are two different ones.

Itās a moment that could have really made a huge impact had it been done correctly, instead of going the route that they did. And, no matter how correctly they may end up doing it in the future, it will forever be robbed of its maximum impact by the completely lame way that EON went about killing Bond in NTTD.

NTTD canāt be directly referenced in ongoing continuity but I think its residual energy will absolutely be felt, at least in the short term. It humanised Bond in a big way, introducing an element to the character that I never really felt before. I think this will be a good thing.
There was always going to be a gap of some length afterwards regardless of how it ended, but an absence to this degree (death) has made me love Bond more than I did previously. It has made me look back over all the previous eras and components of the franchise wistfully.
With mourning comes reflection, celebration and then rebirth. When Bond #7 enters the picture I think fans will be relieved, and appreciate a return to something classical even more than usual.
