Since LTK, Bond has not had a solid cover. TND had the silly banker cover which lasted one minute before Bond got beaten up. I'd like to see Bond take on a cover worthy of the Sir Hilary Bray cover and fool the bad guy up until the last minute (maybe even so good that the bad guy trusts his life to Bond).

Why does James Bond need a cover, he is really not that kind of agent. The only cover he should have is the Universal Exports cover.

[Is this what you expect from a Bond film?:

EVIL VILLAN:  Good evening Mr...?

BOND: Bond, James Bond, intelligence officer at MI6.

EVIL VILLAN:  And what brings you here, Mr Bond?

BOND: My boss asked me to find the stolen nuclear weapon you have, and then I'm supposed to assassinate you.

EVIL VILLAN: Would you come to my overly elaborate death-chamber please?  

....




As you can see, no cover makes for a very short film--and an unexpected ending.
