Well, folks, they had to go and do it. Take a perfectly good character and ruin him. I'm referring to James Bond, the super secret agent has been going since the 1950s when Ian Fleming first created the series of novels that have thrilled many generations in book and movie forms. Now this new novel begins a new series that takes place long before the first Fleming novel. In fact, Bond is only 14 years old. What I, as a fan of the original Bond works disliked dis·like

To regard with distaste or aversion.

n.
An attitude or a feeling of distaste or aversion.
 here is that this character is not very bright and is just not close to the one all of us know and love. This is the same thing that was done with the Indiana Jones character with the Young Indy TV series that did not last very long. Hopefully this one won't either. I feel when you re-write someone else's character so drastically, like the TV show "Enterprise" it is only doomed to failure because fans don't accept the concept. I'm sure this series will find an audience, but I'm sure for those of us who are true Bond buffs The name Buffs can mean:
  • Buffs (Royal East Kent Regiment), a British army unit
  • Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes
  • Buffs Company, a Rifle Company of The Queen's Own Rifles of Canada that parades out of Dalton Armoury in Scarborough.
 that won't happen.
