    But why did he say no to Bibi?

    I'm surprised I have to keep explaining this to people.

    It was thematically necessary. Q keeps telling Bond, "Oh, grow up 007." FYEO is the movie in which he actually DOES act like a grown-up. The film starts with him at Tracy's grave-site, and has several instances of him advising Melina against seeking revenge. After the over-the-top goofiness of MR, this film purposely took a more realistic angle on the exploits of James Bond -- and one of the ways the film-makers did that was to have Bond act more responsibly in choosing his bed partners. Responsible adults don't bed underage nymphettes, even (especially!) those as willing as Bibi.

    Moore and Adams in Octopussy, felt there was a genuine connection between them.

    For sure! More age appropriate as well, and Adams really exuded this mysteriousness. One of my favorite Bond girls - well written, well acted.

    If I remember correctly Moore said Adams was his favourite. Every scene they are in together is great.

    Sean Connery and Louis Maxwell.

    Moore's apparently admitted to making up answers whenever he's asked that question. However, I can believe Maud genuinely was his favourite. They were a very believable couple.

    Hmm, well that sounds right then. It shows!

    Ah yeah I didn't think of Bond and Melina. They had more a good professional relationship/chemistry rather than a sexual chemistry.

    And I missed Bond/Octopussy as some have mentioned. Again it's not so much sexual chemistry but they are good in their scenes together

    And thanks for your comments on TLD. Of course I don't agree at all that Dalton was cold, I mean in those scenes in Vienna I don't understand at all how he could be considered 'cold'. I respect your opinion though since many share it. And I agree that Kara was occasionally a bit of an airhead, like when she flies the plane, but her acting is fulfilling during the crucial moments, I think.

    Yes, the cello chase was one big Moore hangover. At least they cut the infamous 'magic carpet'. Even in LTK we felt Moore hangovers (the bizarre truck stunts).

    It's a mixed bag, the relationship between Bond and Kara. Next time I watch TLD I'll watch it from your perspective. Either way it's still my number 1.

    I like the cello chase and truck stunts...cello doesn't suit the tone of TLD but that and the car chase are a lot of fun. That's where the Glen films have an inconsistent tone - FYEO and OP are big culprits. I like them because they incorporate the fun and the serious - although most don't like the inconsistent tone
