That's HILARIOUS.
On OHMSS/YOLT - I don't know the reasons why they filmed YOLT before OHMSS back in the day (other than OHMSS was seen as safe for an unknown Lazenby to step into the role)... But I do know that people felt a bit robbed of the whole angle with Tracy and the aftermath (I mean, Blofeld gets dumped into a chimney stack in the PTS of For Your Eyes Only........... And you don't even see his face..... Jesus).
In the books it's mentioned that he loved Tracy terribly, far more than even Vesper. When I first saw the trailer for Spectre I was literally grabbing my friend and screaming that we were getting our reboot OHMSS but in a different vein. I predicted pretty much 85% of what happened in it. At that time I hadn't read the leaked scripts, but I think it was interesting that there were more than a few hints dropped one way or another about it being some kind of "rebooted" OHMSS.
My prediction for Bond 25 was actually that the PTS was of him marrying Madeleine and her getting bumped off after Blofeld escapes. Without Daniel, we could still get it, but I think it would leave a lot of fans who see this as an opportunity to get the continuity in as miffed.
Alternatively, just remake OHMSS next and YOLT after that with a new actor. The issue is they dropped way too many hints in Spectre and then didn't close it off for Craig's bond *definitively*... and that's the thing. You could argue until the cows come home about that ending and there's always a way for him to "return or to leave permanently" no matter what angle you take... Unfortunate, but likely very deliberate and monetary focused just in case, as Daniel said, "I have the right to change my mind."
