Vesper Lynd

high as you can imagine, Spectre drops the bar completely to ground level. Instead of attempting to inject a fresh new adventure for Bond to tackle after the extremely personal character experiences in Skyfall, Spectre attempts to make things even more emotionally charged. Regrettably, Spectre spends its lengthy runtime (roughly two and a half hours) piggy-backing off the events of Casino Royal, Quantum of Solace, and Skyfall. That’s right, apparently one man – Christop Waltz’s character – takes credit for the trauma to Bond’s psyche (and death-filled love life). In other words, Waltz, who barely even appears when you look at the big picture, is stuck portraying a frivolous character that specifically takes credit for the death of Vesper Lynd (Eva Green in Casino Royal) and M (Judi Dench). Oh and he has ties to an orphaned James Bond, to…

Is There Rigid Structure To The Laments of Psalms? "Awake! Why are you sleeping, O Lord? Rouse yourself! Do not reject us forever! Why do you hide your face? Why do you forget our affliction and oppression?" (Psalms 44:23-24 ESV).

Ironically, many of my critiques of faith were far harsher than that, but they were generally well-reasoned—and he was always fine with that. John always understood my reasons for rejecting faith and the existence of God and often even agreed with them at some level—but he never turned from faith itself. Over these past few decades, both of us have evolved substantially in our views. During my visit at the Abbey…

she was able to think quickly on the spot. Also she was able to fool a genius like Sherlock into thinking she was dead. This shows how women were able to use smartness and not just looks to fool a man, that was shown as a smarter character. In the past, women weren’t encouraged to get educated but some of them had the dream that they wanted to be something and they decided to pursue it despite what society told them. They didn’t stay home and wait until the day they got married. They went out…

However nothing could prepare him for what would happen next. In Casino Royale the main character is James Bond. He is charismatic, brash, and a tad sexist. He has just been given his 00 his license to kill. Tasked with Vesper Lynd in which Bond is completely against as he believes women were for recreation, that they got in the way of a job and that one had to look out for them and take care of them (Fleming 25). He does not want her on the job but immediately takes on n the role of her…
