GMTA - I always thought the only real problem with Dalton was the scripts kept undercutting him. It wasn't that he was too dramatic; the stories were too soap-opera. He had a certain intensity that the Bond of the novels had (as far as I recall from reading them). What a shame.

From what I've read and my husband can figure, he's one of many Dr. Who number Nines who all exist in parallel universes. It's a licensed sub-franchise but apparently they didn't pay enough to show him wearing the scarf!!!!! Where's the fun in that?!?!?!?!? They just post a pic of him looking more like Jeffrey Jones in Ed Wood than one of the proper Doctors.

Your mention of a picture got me to go finally and look at that website (I just assumed the message was a repost and didn't bother to actually check out the URL) and realized--the new Dr. Who thing is only an audio recording. :-( Not that I don't love DW's audio work, but I thought there was going to be a new Dr. Who *movie*! Now *that* would've been awesome.

And that picture of him is awful! They've altered it so much it barely looks like him. He does look like Jeffrey Jones! Scary!

"GMTA"?

I'm glad you agree! I thought I was the only person who liked Dalton as Bond. I never understood why he was so unpopular. I haven't read the books, but I liked his intensity.

Great minds think alike!

All the girls I meet who've read the books remember that line in Diamonds Are Forever about how Bond has ice gray eyes and, so it says in the book, when he makes love they blaze like diamonds. The book Bond is not a funny Bond.
