More Support Where Needed
Jan 29 2008, 5:14 AM EST
If we've got Kerim Bey (Station "T" Turkey) up there we should have the other station agents from the films (like Strangways, Saunders, Pinder, Paula Caplan, etc.)...and here's a thought...how about a page dedicated to the other 00's? 2  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

i think that's a good way to organize the supporting cast content:

1) MI6 office staff (q, penny, m, secretary of defense)
2) field allies (felix, draco, tanaka)
3) other 00s
4) station heads

although with this schema, we run into the same kinds of problems with double listings. kerim is both a field ally and station head.
Do you find this valuable?

I agree. Let's lead with the core players and then break the others (down the page) into logical groups. A nice improvement. Do you find this valuable?

Great idea. Might want to let M, Q, and Moneypenny (the big three) remain top-level, and organize the remainder by the 4 subcategories. To avoid duplication, "field allies" could just be non-MI6 allies (CIA, NSA, KGB, Chinese agents, Greek smugglers, etc.) -- and were there any MI6 field allies who weren't either 00s or station heads?

The other 00s, if memory serves:
002 = The Man With the Golden Gun (Fairbanks, killed by Scaramanga)
003 = View to a Kill (body Bond finds in the snow at the beginning)
004 = Living Daylights (killed on Gibraltar)
006 = GoldenEye (Alec Trevelyan)
008 = never seen, I think, but M threatens to replace Bond w/ 008 in Goldfinger and in Living Daylights
009 = the clown killed by the knife-throwing twins in Octopussy

Others? I don't recall any references to a 001 or a 005 (there was a third 00 agent at Gibraltar with 007 and 004, but as far as I know his # is never given...)

Answering my own question:

Just thought of an MI6 agent who was neither 00 nor station head: Vijay in Octopussy (worked for Sadruddin, head of Station I).

Maybe "station heads" is too specific a category? "MI6 field agents" might be more inclusive?

This is purely arbitray, but can we agree that Station Heads trump field allies? Do you find this valuable?

According to imdb, the other agent at Gibraltar was the new 002 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Yes, I agree. But there is a problem in this classification: Damian Falco is the chief of the NSA, and Tiger Tanaka same for JSS. And what about people like Marc Ange Draco? Do you find this valuable?

Marc-Ange Draco was the head of the Union Corse--a Mafia-like criminal organization! Do you find this valuable?

Hopefully, 4 a touch of the past, 008 can B cast. The Bond Producers can pick from a bevy of actors, either in the USA or England. Luv, ERN. Do you find this valuable?
