This sounds bad, I'm sorry but someone close to Bond always dies in the movies. It would be too jarring to have everyone live, just like Bond getting married....it's wrong!

True, but keep in mind Ian Flemming once did give Bond something of a  happy ending in the "You Only Live Twice" novel, tying up all the loose ends and leaving him with amensia and a wife...didnt last too long mind you.

Oh ,there's an idea to try...go with Peter Hunt's proposed ending for OHMSS and end the film with Bond and Tracy driving off into the sunset (granted though, part of that proposal was killing her off in the pre-credits of Diamond), Diamonds was crap anyway so it's probably better to pretend the original SPECTRE-driven era of Bond ended happily

Anyway, it's not all a happy ending, as Sylva's prostitute still dies, I still maintain that sense of ruthlessness required for a Bond film.
