I'm old enough to know that Sean is the original (even though a stand in ws the first person ever to play Bond on screen), but I think Pierce Brosnan has done an excellent job. Bond has been updated and this newest version is humorous without losing his toughguy edge. Roger Moore's bond was too campy, even for me and I like the spoof 008:The Job Is Not Enough, which asks the question, "Does the guy who fills in for Bond ever get ot work?"
Then there are other two guys who are barely worth mentioning. Timothy Dalton, however, did have the privelege of working with Australian actress, Virginia Hey (you may know her as Zhaan from Farscape) before the blue make-up. Lazenby was the only married Bond, so that's something, I guess. Of course he was also the Bond who cried. Whwat was that all about?
No he was not- TWINE was his last film, period. That is WHY John Cleese was in it, they were handing over. It is simply coincidence that he died just after.
There were in fact two films that Q was not in before he left.

see, George plays one time and he gets married!
the idea of bond being married but getting the girl killed by his mortal enemies was good, but hey! not THAT crappy please!
Yeah I agree with most of you that an invisible car is stupid but I didn't care, I love Bond movies and specially Die Another Day. But yeah they have to keep it a bit more believable for Bond 21, that whole scene of Bond being chased by the Icarus and the way he gets out of it was really stupid. And yeah too bad Desmond died but John Cleese is a funny replacement since I laugh everytime I see his face. And not because I'm disrespective or anything but it brings me memories of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. He's the man and I can't think of anyone else to replace the original Q.

The Bond villains I like the best are:
-Baron Samedi and Jaws (The Spy Who Loved Me) I like Baron Samedi because he freaks me out, he's weird and never stops laughing, he reminds me of Linda from the 1st Evil Dead. And I like Jaws but just in The Spy Who Loved Me, he acted like a cartoon character in Moonraker and turned good at the end.
And the ones I hate the most:
-Gustav Graves, Mr. Wint, Mr. Kidd and Renard (Robert Carlyle is a great actor but he's no material for Bond.) Gustav Graves seemed like a bratty kid that Bond was going to punish. And Renard was just a pussy that had the advantage of feling no pain at all. And Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd were just gay ! And not that I discriminate people or anything but gay villains aren't scary, but I can imagine there tortures, dressing you up in cheap clothes and stuff like that.
