Success and a Bunny

[awanderingbard]

Made (and I do mean made, she was very reluctant) Mum watch the Tennant/Tate "Much Ado About Nothing", and she loved David Tennant (and the play), and has now agreed to give Doctor Who a go. Success! I have warned her he doesn't come in until Series Two, but she wants to watch from the beginning, so she will understand the plot. Nerd conversion is going very well. *evil wiggly fingers*

In other news, someone left a comment on "An Interesting Puzzle" on AO3, suggesting a sequel where Mycroft looks on 221B as a sort of field hospital and directs agents there. My little AU brain immediately thought of Bond being sent to 221B, and Q and Sherlock fighting over his earpiece while John quietly performs surgery on the coffee table. Which is not exactly as prompted, but...I kind of like the idea.

Stupid AU brain.

I really liked Goldeneye, we just never would up watching any others.

I love Goldeneye. It was my first Bond film. I love Tomorrow Never Dies, as well, even though the plot is completely ludicrous. The Bond girl in that one is awesome, and the action is brilliant. I think Brosnan was an awesome Bond.

My mom had a crush on Sean Connery so I saw ALL of the early ones. They're kind of fun in a totally ridiculous way.

I went through a phase several years ago where I watched most of them in order. I never made it to Dalton's movies, but I've seen all the others, I think. The ridiculousness is what makes them fun, I think. And that's what you won't get in a Craig movie. They're fun, but not ridiculous. Not in a gadgetty way, anyway.

*butting in*

The Dalton ones were my first Bond films because my mother had a raging crush on Timothy Dalton years back. So I always thought James Bond was a terrible franchise and then I saw the Connery ones and the Brosnan ones and loved them. The Moore ones were a bit hit and miss.

Hee! I always liked the Moore ones because my mum had a crush on him, so they were her favourites. So, basically, it all depends on who your mum fancies, apparently. :-)
