. Just then some guy pulls up in the new DBS. Bond jumps in and gives chase leaving the owner behind all frantic and yelling, Whoa! Oh! My Car! Oh! Whoa! Oh no! My Car! Oh!
Dude how original

SteveKingCool, I get the feeling you're just negative to be negative sometimes. Chill out. Feel free to dislike where CASINO ROYALE is headed, by all means, but don't feel that you have to compensate for our lack of negativity by being extra bitter.

In regards to Bond's service in the SAS, I would think the RN's SBS would be more appropriate?

I'm infinetly relived he's still being called Le Chiffre.
But you know what I noticed? (book spoilers ahead).
Leiter was the one who gives Bond more money after he loses to Le Chiffre, not Vesper. I wonder what role the 'American Agent' will play in the film version?

It is still a very stupid plot.
Suicide bombers. O man, nearly all do their for free without funding.

Good view , remember Vesper is rogue maybe she refuses Bond and as you say Felix steps in with the funds.I'm infinetly relived he's still being called Le Chiffre.

The article says he asks Vesper for more funds. What if she refuses, implying he went too far? And there is where the american agent comes in

Not true. Although they will do it for no finacial gain they still need funds to pay for there weapons, phony ID's, passports, transportation, living expenses etc. Sometimes they do it so that there surviving families get some form of finacial compenstaion.

If Le Cheffe doesn't owe anyone money. How does the story work?
Bond should just shoot him and be done with it. Same result. He get's no money and is dead as well.
Everyone could save 2 hours.

The rest is bull.....what planet are you living on? Suicide bombing is the cheapest form of terrorism except blackmail and bullying.

OMG! Are you dumb. They need funding. When it comes to sleeper cells operating in Europe and the US (i.e those responsible for attacks like 9/11,Madrid, and London) they need funds to operate and pull off their attacks. It's a fact that the group resonsible for 9/11 were well funded by Saudi money. They would have to pay to get their operatives into these countries, pay for there phony identification(which is not cheap), pay for there living costs, pay for possible addtional training(like the flight school for the 9/11 hi-jackers), transportation(rental cars or trucks, airfare, trainfare etc), material for bombs like fertilizer(like the WTC bombers in '93). The list goes on and on.

A poker game worth more than 10 millions. Really believable.
Suicide bombers. O man, nearly all do their for free without funding.
Vesper as another woman character with the balls and attitude of a man.
It is extremely disgusting to see the producers making money out of two popular subjects as suicide bombing and Texas Hold em when they can make a realistic plot by fixing holes in the Fleming one. They only made the plot holes bigger.

First I never said it cost millions(9/11 was funded for under a million but it still cost a pretty penny). That's not conspiracy theories but fact. Terror cells need cash to operate abroad. You think they just drop to knees and say praise allah and then everything they need just materializes for them? I see their is no point arguing with you anymore. You seem to subscribe to different veiwpoint on many matters and have contradicted youself several times. You just plain don't like anything about Casino Royale and have problems with both the Flemming novel and the way the story is going. And I am dealing with it but from the looks of things, Can you?Not 9/11 and not WTC 93, not London or Madried, no terrorist suicide action has ever cost millions unless you believe conspiracy theory sites and Bush propaganda: all admitted that they were wrong now about how terrorists fund themselves......al qaeda network is a total mess or even a myth and suicide killers can do anything with very little money
No government is going to be so stupid to send a secret agent to play poker.
It's dumb. It can be much better. Deal with it.

First of all, fantastic scoop.
I stopped reading at the bottom of the first page, because I didn't want to know everything. But I see here there's something about Bond being in the SAS. There is a precedent for that, in a way:
'Twice a year [Bond] disappeared for a fortnight to SAS headquarters in Herefordshire...'
LICENCE RENEWED by John Gardner, Chapter Two, 'Thoughts In A Surrey Lane'

What if they updated it seeing as how Bond may have his first meeting with Vesper on a train so that the bombers are on board and they blow up a whole train car in an unsuccessful attempt to assassinate Bond that is not unlike the real life Madrid train bombings. Just a thought.

I think - although I may very well be wrong - that "Scorpius" also mentions this, with villains trying to assassinate Bond as he's driving back to London from one of his SAS HQ training trips.
But this is, of course, very different to saying that Bond was ever in the SAS. As far as I'm aware, this has never been stated or suggested in any of the books or films (although I haven't read all the continuation novels).
So I'll ask the obvious question:
SINCE WHEN WAS JAMES BOND EVER EX-SAS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Still, this is evidently Eon's rebooted Bond's backstory, not Fleming's Bond's backstory, Benson's Bond's backstory.... So fair enough, I suppose.
