Bond, Son of Bond

So who here has seen 'Casino Royale'? It's been claimed as a reboot of the series, and don't try to consider it in the wider continuity of the Bond films. But I have an idea as to how to fit it in.

Consider that Bond of the rest of the movies is now around 40 years older than when he started. Probably now around retirement age. (Ignore the physical appearance, obviously.) So what if he did retire? And what if he had a son? (Certainly there have been enough women and not all of them died...)

Consider that the new Bond is in fact his son. James Jnr joined MI6 and in his own way earned a right to a '00' license, taking over that of his recently retired old man. (This also gets around the appearantly controversial "blond" Bond aspect.)

This also explains how this Bond knows so much that M complains about. :)

And so, continuity is preserved...
