Not that she didn't do horrible things - she did awful things - but she was a child, SEN, dominated by the influence of a powerful, evil man and crucified for her gender. I believe she was genuinely penitent many years before she died.

He was the first Bond I saw as a kid and so 'is' Bond for me. However, I find Craig more watchable -he's done a good job of rebooting the character with more grit, while still retaining the charm.
Personally, I think Craig and Dalton play a very similar Bond. Dalton took it to the level of 'serious' after Roger Moore's Bond turned into Carry On Spy. In retrospect, Dalton was a fave of mine, although I grew up (and enjoyed) Moore.
