Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Imagine JRM holding a gun, if you will, or ordering a drink that's not pink.

Though if Bond turned his sluttishness in a bi direction, he's precisely the person I'd pick.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Or running?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Watching The Saint on BBC America (as we do in this department when Oprah's a repeat), it occurs to me that both Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan came to be Bond after essentially playing him on TV. Is anyone on MI-5 suave and 30-ish? Are there any other British spy shows out there right now?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Am I the only one who thinks that Alexis Denisof would make a great Bond? Granted, he's not as well-known as the other people being considered, but still. He could do 007, no problem.

Matthew MacFadyen? He's definitely more shaken than stirred. David Oyelowo -- well, he's not that much better a spy, but there is the whole shirtless factor.

I think AD would be great, but I'm pretty sure they only let Brits play Bond.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Is anyone on MI-5 suave and 30-ish?

I think the problem here is that these people are the worst spies evar. Also, I don't think the big movie franchise could get nearly as much Heroic Suffering mileage out of them as a TV series can. Generally speaking, I don't think big movie franchises get anything out of suffering, except what they put their audiences through.
