I'm just wondering if we will ever see a TRUE femme fatale in the series again. I don't mean like a power crazed woman like Electra King or a treasonous betrayer like Vesper Lynd. I'm talking about a truly mad, likes-to-kill people, insane woman like Fionna Volpe or Xenia Onatopp or even May Day. I was watching Live Free or Die Hard the other night and I thought Maggie Q was a pretty good femme fatale and I began to wonder if we would ever see this type of enemy for Bond again. Any thoughts?

I'd rather have a well-written female character of any kind before we fell back into the routine of a femme fatale again.

I'm a sucker for this type of villain. I wouldn't mind it at all.

Neither would I. Fiona Volpe looked excellent in TB!

That she did, Xenia was excellent as well. Though a double agent, Miranda Frost, my favourite, was deliciously bad, too. :(

Femme Fatales usually provide a kind of naughty sexiness that the goody-two-shoes Bond girls don't - so yeah, I'm all for it.

Will we? Sure. Do we need it anytime soon? Not really...but I certainly don't fault anyone with a weakness for one.

Yes. I'm all for this aswell. I love all the Femme Fatales in the Bond movies. I would gladly welcome another one.

Completely agreed. Fiona Volpe is one of the best characters in the entire series if you ask me.

I'm sure we'll see one soon enough...I think every Bond has had their share of femme fatales, so why not Craig?

(Ok, I guess Dalton and Lazenby didn't, but you get my point.)

You're forgetting the unbelievably sexy Irma Bunt :(.

Anyway, I'll be happy to see a femme fatale again soon but I'd want her to be as well-written and played as Fiona Volpe, not a badly-written and played one. The Moore and Dalton eras underdid them while the Bronsan era tended to overdo them. I want Craig to have one who is worthy of his talents.

I want a main villianess in the vein of Irma Bunt or Rosa Klebb but if I had to choose a Fem Fatale, one like Fiona Valope would be great. I always equate here to a deadly flower.
