You gotta admire some powerful women!

My mood this year.

Greys Anatomy: S15E12

“Out of everyone in the world who could have found me. It had to be you”

I knew I must not forget what it was like to be her...

Bryan Fuller: I remember Gillian talking about how she kept getting distracted by the kiss when it was happening because she was enjoying it.

A female Bond! A black female Bond! Elba is right that the character—one of the most hallowed acting roles in the U.K.—is due for a 21st century overhaul. That, of course, is one of the reasons that Elba playing Bond sparked such a feverish reaction in the first place. Though it almost certainly won’t come to pass, there are plenty of women that folks have fan-cast as Bond in the past. In 2016, a convincing bit of fan art depicted X-Files star Gillian Anderson as the next Bond, Jane Bond, which set Internet hearts aflutter.

“She’s a funny creature, Gillian Anderson. I warm to her for various reasons. She’s got a nice line in non sequiturs. She’s un-grand. She’s wearing an eccentric pair of white patent leather heels, a tatty old pair of combat trousers and a violet jersey. She swears brilliantly. She gets excited when a waiter carries a tray of puddings past, and races off to feed the parking meter so she can have the lemon tart brulee (‘and please get the sticky toffee pudding’). She doesn’t have a watch. She’s capable, even on a day like today, of moments of almost painful candour. Last but not least, I like her because when the interview is over, she will say goodbye and attempt to leave the restaurant not through the door, but through one of the plate-glass windows. She is, I think, not altogether cool.” (x)
