Indeed. Still, if it turns out Silva and Bond were orphaned by the same operation, you watch and see how this will be praised as an original notion, with lots of depth.

And Skyfall will probably be placed right up with the highly overrated Casino Royale as one of the best Bond films ever.
Probably.The first with Craig was crap some how it was the best since OHMSS & LTK incidentally two of the crappiest movies in the history of Bond.Different was deemed better so a short actor who couldn't act like Bond was nuanced and insightful when all it was is a crap actor out of his depth.LTK and OHMSS were bad movies fans didn't like somehow they were the benchmarks.WTF!They doubled the crap content in QOS and thankfully nobody liked it.Were up for a triple scoop somehow I get the feeling they'll eat it up like ice cream on a summer day.Bond should never talk about his parents,killing M is dumb, Q and Moneyp shouldn't have a origin stories this isn't the damned X-men some people just show up for work d**n it!I don't need origin story for how they get out of bed in the morning like the powers that be feel we need for damned James Bond.Bond was a hero not the character sturdy of one fucked up orphan.
Casino Royale is so overrated, that it instantly made Craig the so-called "Best Bond since Sean Connery", and just somehow gave him the right to stay in the role of Bond for eternity. Give me a break, it wasn't that great. To me, it was two and a half hours of pointless chatter, a few generic action scenes, a lot of poker playing, and a lame love story that makes Jaws and Dolly falling in love in Moonraker seem more believable. And for that Craig gets placed on a pedestal, and receives tons of praise and pampering? These Craig Bond films are nothing more than espionage soap operas, that focus way too much on boring character exploration. Do they think that the average person really cares about all these origin stories, and other nerdy details? I'm a Bond fanatic and I don't even care about it. While some people see Craig's Bond films as ingenious artistic creativity, all I see is a parody of a once very cool and charismatic spy.
On the old A View To A Kill posters, there was a tag line that says 'Has James Bond Finally Met His Match?' After several years later, I can say that he certainly has met his match... The incompetent film producers.
