    Actually that's a pretty decent idea. Make a OO tv series or something and have it follow one or multiple agents(excluding 007). I don't see why anything like that shouldn't work.

    The Bond movies have always had a floating timeline. If a black actor played James Bond in a movie set the 60s then that would be an anachronism, but I don't see the big deal about having a black British actor play James Bond in a movie set in present.

    Elba was born in England and raised as an Englishman.

    What's stretching about it? James Bond is an intelligence agent for the British government. He womanizes, drinks alot, behaves recklessly, etc. What about that character can't be played by a black man? What particular importance is Bond's historic skin color, to the story, how he behaved, etc.?

    If the right actor happens to be black, go for it. What matters is the talent and their unique take on the role.

    Limbaugh was talking about the character not the actors.

    The way I know that he was walking about the character and not the actors that play him is the fact that he used the word CHARACTER and not ACTOR.

    So keep trying to push your non sequitur Scottish actor nonsense, you know damn well its about race trolling liberals injecting Black where Black doesn't belong.

    ...and Stormfront ...really ...that's your response to my well articulated completely on topic post?

    A stroke for sure before New Year's. Bond gets all the girls with the cute names like P. Galore from Gold Finger.

    PCF, last spring I had the pleasure of spending a night of entertainment with Cubby Broccoli's son, Tony. Had great conversations about the whole Bond thing and growing up around the sets and actors, etc. Real nice guy. And some real interesting stories. I don't remember specifically talking about this topic but get the impression that Cubby wouldn't have minded. I'll ask him next time I see him.

    Because I'd bet that 99% of mi6 is white, so they're casting the 1%? Ridiculous

    Well, it took long enough to finally reach the rationale behind all of these threads: "Black folks from America ain't Americans."

    It seems to conflict with the ideology of the character. Bond doesn't seem too concerned with his personal health, nor has he ever been religious. What about black skin conflicts with the Bond character, other than simply saying he's historically been white? You're trying to pretend that changing how a character acts is the same thing as changing how they look... Which isn't the case.

    To be fair, I'm guessing the British government has a pretty stringent diversity policy. But really it's irrelevant. Is there something bad about portraying exceptional people?

    You literally have nothing of substance to back that claim up. None.

    Yeah but she admittedly did a damn good job in my opinion. She actually came off as someone you didn't want to mess with. And I'll admit I was against the idea of the Doctor being able to regenerate into a woman until the episode where the essence of the Tardis was put into a live body. You hear the Doctor comment on how one of his friends had regenerated into a woman once. After that I came to accept the possibility since it has been confirmed within the show itself.

    Oh no, you already hinted that consistency means nothing so why not make Bond American?

    This really seems to have upset some American conservatives here. A fictional non-American character. As far as I can gather, the argument seems to be that Bond's skin colour is absolutely paramount and central to, and more important than, his nationality* or personality. Reductio ad absurdum, a white Russian (God, I'm funny!) actor would be more appropriate than a black Englishman born in Hackney.

    * Not surprising in that they can't tell the difference between Irish, Scottish, Welsh and English.
