Er, kind of stepping on your own point there, aren't you? How do we know what Ian Fleming thought about the other Bonds when he didn't live to see them? Engage brain before writing...Connery is the best Bond because he was able to capture both the General Public,Ian Fleming himself came around to Connery's Bond and even wrote scottish detail about bonds parents in later books...........are you calling Ian Fleming the creator of Bond wrong
This is actually a comment on the quote above the quote (I didn't know how to do it otherwise). I doubt that Fleming decided that Bond was Scottish due to Sean Connery. I'm pretty confident that somewhere in the novels prior to the movies there is mention of Bond being Scottish (it's possible I'm wrong but I don't think so). More importantly, Fleming was Scottish and since Bond is in some sense his fantasy self, I have no doubt in his head Bond was Scottish. None of this of course is a knock on Connery who is my favorite Bond actor and whose Scottish burr is a plus for the role.
