"Can't see how they would have played out the same" doesn't mean I can't see how they would play out at all. (And I think that expecting that a story would be exactly the same with one of the main factors changed is you lacking imagination, not me. I like genderswaps that explore the differences. That takes more imagination than a rehash.) I think it could be a very interesting story. I don't see it as a James Bond story, though. James Bond is an iconic character with certain aspects of him and his personality fairly set, in my opinion. And I just don't see how that would have worked the same way with a woman instead of a man and how it would be the same character.

I love spy stories. I love spy stories that have a woman as one of the main characters (and/or as the sole protagonist), such as Natasha's story arcs, La Femme Nikita (all incarnations), Alias, etc. I just don't see that as the story that was told through the James Bond works (novels and movies). For all means, do a spin-off of sorts of James Bond with a different 00 character who is a woman. That has the possibility of being great. It wouldn't be the same character or the same stories, though. (Which isn't a bad thing!)
