Yeah, that's something that I didn't think through - in Hollywood, anything that can be hidden, will be hidden.
Make it openly trans*...
jwhouk:
The trans* character was an extra in For Your Eyes Only. She was one of the poolside "women" of one of the bad guys, early on in the film; the main female lead (the Greek woman seeking vengeance) shot the bad guy just as he was about to have Bond taken away. I think her entire scene was a scream because the guy was dead when he hit the water.
As for the commentary: I didn't say the characters were necessarily PC in this fake "Behind The Scenes" thing. Remember: I made it where Dora and Sven are husband and wife, not brother and sister.
I will say this: I like WAYF's take on how Emily is just as Cloud Cuckoolander off-screen as she is on.

Right.. "Politically correct".. As if it isn't just dead wrong on "Reality correct". You were the one writing with that attitude towards those issues, not them. Including characters you claimed you were writing as trans.

Been there, Dexter'd that.
--- Quote from: Carl-E on 12 May 2013, 00:26 ---TBH I like the conceit that Jeph didn't even know where Claire's character was going to wind up

I don't buy that. There are too many foreshadowing moments throughout her earlier appearances. [1][2][3]
Loki:
I think the quotation marks referred to the individuals in question being the concubines (?) of the evil guy. Like how some peoples use the expression "my woman" instead of "my wife", I think it meant to signify that the girls in question were "the women" of the bad guy, not that their quality of being female was being questioned. This is just a guess, as I don't remember the scene and cannot read jwhouk's mind.
jwhouk:
There was no really better way of describing it. Bond was trying to pretend he was someone else, and the masquerade was discovered.
FYEO was the first Bond movie I sat down and watched from start to end - and the first that I was old enough to remember when it was out in theaters.
