    Again, I never said that GE copied DN verbatim.

    I said (or I least meant to say) that it wanted to be DN.

    Maybe it was like Dr. No in that it wanted to introduce the Bond series as something brand new. But you could say that about any revived film series. Otherwise it has so little in common with Dr. No.

    Exactly.

    Except by the ~17th film, it's not really new.

    But it is something new, almost like a reboot. GoldenEye did reboot the tone of the Bond series, but it was connected to the timeline of all previous Bond films. I still don't get the connection to Dr. No you're mentioning. I don't understand how GE wanted to be DN. It certainly wanted to be a very different film from any Bond film that came before it, with a much different tone, different kinds of action and a more personal story (that part I thought completely failed).

    What you did say (as quoted above) was that GE derives a lot from DN- can you back that up?
