Link: Yep, Daniel Craig is the new 007

I’ve never been a great fan of the 007 movies, especially anything after Sean Connery quit; although, Pierce Brosnan did have some good  moments.  The selection of Daniel Craig, however, may be just what the franchise needs to stir things up.  I’ve read several of Ian Fleming’s novels and the movies long ago lost sight of what he had in mind when the character of James Bond came into being.  Casino Royale was Fleming’s first Bond novel and if the producers follow it to the letter they may actually have something intersting to watch.

Watching last night’s episode of Alias was like watching the first season.  Picture this:  a young woman thinks she’s serving her country, but comes to find out that she’s actually in the employ of an insidious organization bent on world domination.  Sound familiar?  Well, substitute Jennifer Garner for Vaughn and Rachel Nichols for Sydney Bristow and you’ve got season one all over again!  Were the writers and producers that strapped for new stories.  Hell, they’ve even thrown in an ancient prophecy!  So many returning shows have really disappointed me this year and Alias is among the worst.

Like I said yesterday, shit like this seems really disrespectful towards our service men and women.
