![]() ![]() ![]() The great news, however, is that we get to jump into the debonair canon of one Pierce Brosnan’s tenure in the tuxedo, and just in time for Goldeneye’s 25th anniversary! So until next time, no matter what delays may be thrown our way, just know that James Bond will return to CinemaBlend.It's time to find a new Bond. However, should it please the readers at home, I think there’s a way we can make up for it. The worse half of the equation is that, thanks to No Time To Die being pushed into an April 2021 release slot, we’ll have to delay our Daniel Craig rankings originally planned for November. When we return to the legacy of the James Bond series, I’m afraid I have some bad news and some great news. However, that’s officially in the past, and history still proves Timothy Dalton at an underrated James Bond who deserves more acclaim. Had Dalton kept going, we might have seen something akin to our current run of films happen much sooner. Pierce Brosnan’s eventual debut is still the godsend the series needed in the ‘90s, but that was mostly because the world had changed so much by time 007 returned to screens. ![]() However, the larger point that should be considered is we really lost out when the third Timothy Dalton film never happened. Its plot reflected the times without getting campy, and Dalton really shines in that film’s goings on. Evoking the sorrow of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, while foreshadowing the vengeful agent that Daniel Craig would get to embody in the role with his time as James Bond, License To Kill aims for an approach of gritty realism, giving Bond an adversary he could actually consider an equal. In my evaluation, I have to go with the latter film as my personal favorite. ![]() If you’re a traditionalist then The Living Daylights is your bag, and License To Kill is for those who like a harder-edged 007 caper. So which Timothy Dalton film is the better James Bond movie? Well, that depends on how you like your Bond. Which Dalton Film Is The Better James Bond Movie? Sledding on a cello beats diving into the pool of a fancy party in this case. Meanwhile, the singular love story between James and Kara in The Living Daylights manages to draw even the most experienced 007 fan into a romance that rivals Bond and his dearly departed wife and that’s with License even making a poignantly direct nod to that very moment. The subplot of her jealousy surrounding Bond’s work with Lupe doesn’t feel necessary, even with the charming payoff it gets at the end of the film. Here’s where License To Kill actually loses a point though, because while both Talisa Soto’s Lupe and Carey Lowell’s Pam both make for dynamic romantic leads that never succumb to the typical formula for this kind of role, there’s a little bit of a weakness in Pam’s story in particular. The reason for this is, as mentioned before, Dalton’s 007 gets not one, but two on-screen romances that work like a charm. The final hallmark I’m going to grade the Timothy Dalton James Bond films on is that of the romantic quotient.

![]() ![]() The tower that Sean blew up is of course major news, dominating headlines and landing a major disaster in newly elected Mayor Nasir Afridi’s lap. Let’s go linearly to keep things straightforward. John), who is some kind of anti-terrorism official? Elliot had nothing to do with Sean blowing up the Wallace tower, so why is he even being accused of terrorism? What happened at the Hotel Reno, and why were cops shooting at Elliot? Who’s in the body bags? Does anyone know he’s being held? All of those questions are thrown out before we shift back in time by one day, and the episode continues forward by jumping back and forth between these time periods. Why is he being questioned by Joseph (Cornell S. And now in his adulthood, we open with Elliot seemingly being set up to take the fall for something, too. ![]() So Elliot’s father took the fall in the boxing ring. Who cares when you need to put food on the table and a roof over your family’s head? Wouldn’t you do whatever you could to make those things possible? “Pawns can’t be kings,” his father says, but what they can be is “free.” But it’s not freedom that drives Elliot’s father to take that fall, is it? The man needs money, and financial survival is more important than maintaining his name or his reputation. The episode begins with a focus on Elliot, and with a childhood experience that shaped the man he would become. He is Sonny Corleone, and remember what happened to Sonny Corleone? Look how they massacred my boy. And the way of this world - one in which the investors are the ultimate evil, the face of British old-money doing whatever they want to whomever they want - was that Irish immigrant and young tough Sean Wallace was always going to die. If Sean couldn’t be the top guy, he would destroy everyone he could. Finn set Sean up to fail, and although Sean’s heel turn in the penultimate episode was definitely rushed, parts of it felt right emotionally. Build the Wallace skyscrapers, and stay out of the way. He must have noticed the way Finn, Ed, and Alex all kept him at arm’s length. ![]() But he also saw how close Finn and Alex Dumani were. Sean may have been hot-tempered, and he may have been too worshipful of his father. The same goes for Sean - did he really ever think he was going to run the Wallace organization? I have gone back and forth on this all season (which, yes, is I think a result of inconsistent writing). He just needed somewhere to put his energy after his world was destroyed by the loss of his family. I don’t think nailing the Wallaces, in particular, ever mattered to Elliot. Of course Elliot would do whatever to protect Shannon and Danny the deaths of his wife and son were what propelled him forward into chasing a big case. Of course Sean would die in the way Finn did he’s spent the majority of his season chasing his father’s shadow. ![]() If I step back, though, so many of these developments make sense. I know I just said that I was surprised by all the killing in this final episode. But crucifixions, cut-out tongues, and bullets to the face and stomach - all of the deaths in this finale were intimate and personal, loaded with the histories, anxieties, and frustrations of the entire first season of Gangs of London. Yes, the cleaver scene, the attack on the travelers’ compound, and the siege (probably still my pick for the best episode of the season) were also egregious acts of violence. But director Corin Hardy and writer Claire Wilson sure did clear the board, didn’t they? I thought that because Gangs of London has a second season on the way, we could expect most of these characters to survive. I am a wimp! I did not expect Sean to get a bullet in the face, in a death so similar to that which befell his father, Finn! I did not anticipate that Elliot would let his few-weeks-long relationship with Shannon and Danny drive him into the clutches of the mysterious white people who seem to run the entirety of the U.K.’s (and maybe a chunk of the world’s?) shady financial dealings! I did not think Jevan would die in such a gruesome way, or that Nasir would die in such a gruesome way! Silly me. I will admit to you: When Elliot shot Sean in the face, I screamed. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s once you get into the specifics that you’re able to spot the differences. Here’s how it’s similar to, and different from, spinel.Īt first glance, many taaffeites looks just like spinel.

Part of the new gemstone was used for analysis, and the remainder was returned to Taaffe as a 0.55-carat stone, according to the International Gem Society (IGS), standing as the first official chunk of taaffeite. Researchers eventually confirmed it was a new species and named the stone after the gemologist. ![]() Spinel, like diamond and garnet, is singly refractive.Ĭurious and wanting to investigate further, Taaffe sent the gem to the Laboratory of the London Chamber of Commerce for testing.Ī 13.23-carat oval mixed-cut purple taaffeite from Sri Lanka (Image courtesy of the Dr. Importantly, the gem was doubly refractive. While examining them, he realized a small mauve-colored stone weighing 1.419 carats that looked like spinel might be something different. In 1945, gemologist Count Edward Charles Richard Taaffe of Dublin, Ireland, was sifting through a parcel of cut and polished stones. One of my favorite parts of researching this stone was hearing the story of how it was “discovered.” Here are five things to know about taaffeite. I’m so glad I did there are many interesting things about this gem beyond just its rarity, though that is of course one of its more notable aspects. I happened upon the gem while scrolling through Instagram, as one does, and immediately added it to my list of stones to cover. Taaffeite can come in various pink and purples shades like lilac, violet and mauve, as well as red, brown, bluish hues, gray, green and colorless.
