If you were James Bond, will you chose to shoot Elektra? I think he has many options. He can stop the bad guy without killing her. For Mr. Bond to kill someone he once love is unacceptable.
I agree about sleeping with her first, Marceau was looking good in most of those scenes (sometimes her face got a little screwed up...ugh). But I don't think he loved her at all, so Bond shouldn't have any second thoughts about killing her besides that she used to be good before Victor messed her up. I would DEFINITELY kill her in that situation. Good choice for James, he's the man.
Here's what I would've done. I would've destroyed the walkie-talkie so Elektra couldn't tell Renard to dive the sub. I would knock Elektra out, kill Renard, then return to Elektra and show Renard's dead body. Then I sit down, talk to her, and make sure she turns good. But then what about Christmas?
Keeping Elektra temporarily alive and kill Renard first seems to be a good idea. but what if she doesn't turn good?? Like Elektra said "Nobody can resist me". As for Christmas, i wouldn't even think about her. I will kill her if she attempt to hurt Elektra.
I just figured Elektra was criminally insane anyway, so she couldn't be saved. In the scene with the strangling chair, she seemed a lot like Xenia Onatopp, so it wouldn't have worked out.
I will. She was too manipulative to be likeable. Sophie did a great job though and chemistry abound between her and Bond.

Nose is important
Bond should NEVER NEVER be played by an actor with HUGE, LONG, POINTY NOSE, and WOLFISH facial feature, it is very very UnBondish
