Casino Royale = reboot.

Same as how Batman Begins isn't a prequel or a sequel - it's a new/alternative starting point for the series.

And Star Trek 2009... and the Star Wars Prequels, I guess, too.

GoldenEye is something of a Reboot too, right?  But it's clearly a sequel reboot.  (or is it? (duh duh duH!)) Is CR a sequel reboot or a prequel reboot, or a reboot reboot?

Gaffer Tape:

Although, granted, there's so little actual continuity with Bond to begin with, it's almost like the terms don't really apply.  But I stick by reboot.

Yeah, that's what I meant.  Each new actor seems to be something of a Reboot.  Except Lazenby.  They put that part where he's going through his desk and the theme music of the previous movies play to remind you that he was supposed to be the same Bond Connery was.  But then there is the Blofeld thing.
