because the character is so misogynistic Well, that early 1950s attitude is kind of built into that character, just like it was in crime genre books of that era. I don't think the solution is a female Bond, just the world moving past Bond all together.
Midnight, Texas: I guess from what you say, Charlaine Harris is no Shakespeare.
I just found the whole Midnight pilot very amateurish. If it wasn't a cash grab I don't understand why NBC bought it. The lead guy made me think of Buffy's Oz and not in a good way. It could get better, but I don't expect it to last long enough to improve much. They got a good audience last night, but I don't expect most people to come back for more.
