Oh, please. He always gets the girl because Fleming wrote it that way.

Oh, please. He always gets the girl because Fleming wrote it that way.

I agree. It's like when they asked Al Capp why all the girls in Lil' Abner were big busted. He replied because I'm drawing them.

Why do Bond villains always go for the Evil Lairs with the obvious self-destruct buttons? Are the ones without these buttons that much more expensive?

Why do Bond villains kill most new hires who fail to kill James Bond on their very first trip into the field? And kill so many people that they need to keep pet sharks around to dispose of unwanted secretaries?

Why is it that Bond villains know how he likes his alcoholic drinks, yet fail to kill him on sight?

Why do James Bond villains underestimate him? E.g., having strapped him to a metal table, and setting up a laser to cut him in half from crotch to forehead, they imagine that it is safe to leave the room and that he won't possibly escape given the chance to do so.

“No Scott, I’m going to put him in an easily escapable situation involving an overly elaborate and exotic death.”

In the books, he didn't always get the girl.
