Listener Robert:

The best James Bond was the recent one who wasn't even called by that name: Lalo on "Better Call Saul", played by Tony Dalton. Instead of his majesty's secret service, he was on his gangster's secret service. But he was clearly made out to be a James Bond; they even cast a T. Dalton in the role! And it's not like I'm the only one to have noticed this. His demise was a very clever INVERSION of what's depicted in the Cheapass card game Before I Kill You, Mr. Bond....

There are persistent rumors that Ncuti Gatwa has already left, but those are coming from a deeply untrustworthy sleazy UK tabloid. The MOST important thing is to get a young talented new *showrunner* because the writing has really gone downhill lately.
