This is all kinds of fabulous. Picks many things I'd registered but not been able to put into words.

I felt the movie was very much wiping the slate clean, ready for whatever's going to come up next. Bond's past has been destroyed, in a sense; there's no more Skyfall to shackle him. MI6 has also had a ritual cleansing with fire and a new guard's been established. They can now pretty much take Bond in any direction they please, which opens up all sorts of possibilities. I, for one, can't wait to see what they do.

I hope you don't mind, but I've friended you on LJ - I really like your reviews and meta stuff!
