I don't like the idea, but I was also annoyed that they cast someone blonde last time around.

I like that the Bond films never deliberately address whether he's supposed to be the same person or not. As long as you keep actors who look sufficiently similar, then it can be either one. Casting someone who the audience can't suspend disbelief into thinking is the same person as the others forces the series to come down on one side or the other.

A black female Doctor, on the other hand: bring that on, ASAP.

I'm not sure I consider being a different race a bigger difference than having an entirely different face. They're both pretty obviously not the same person to me.

But I also am aware that movies are casting a character and I can suspend disbelief into thinking it's the same character as long as they act the part well.

I just don't get the point of changing something like that for an already-existing character with a long history. If you say "James Bond" that conjures up a pretty specific mental image in the minds of most people regardless of which particular Bond actor you're thinking of.

Yes, that specific mental image is because he was always cast as the English/Western idea of whatta Man, brown-haired, pale-skinned square-jawed suave middleish aged. Times are a'changing and "that's how it was always done" isn't really a reason.
