I guess I would actually have developed a plot.

I don't consider "A fat red neck and a wimp conspire to do bad things" a plot; At least not for a Bond film. There is absolutely no reason for any conflict in The Living Daylights or at least the audience could care about. The only people who were any danger were Kara Milovy and General Pushkin but so what ?

Again, I don't think that Whittaker wasn't utilized very well. But Georgi Koskov is one of my favorite Bond villains. So different from the usual over-the-top meglomaniac. I found him refreshing.

I found Le Chiffre refreshing and Largo in Never Say Never Again. Koskov was just a wimp. Christ, he couldn't confront Bond alone once and the only opprotunity he had he missed because clumsily fell off the plane Bond was escaping in.
