I felt like watching a film from the original timeline.
Fair enough, though I feel “timeline” and continuity in general mean very little in this series.
Well Craig uses some gadgets which he aquired in previous movies.
So yeah, as far as we know, the bond movies are one linear timeline.
Eh, not at all. Casino Royale was clearly a reboot. He wasn’t even a double-0 at the beginning. There’s certainly continuity within the Connery films, within the Brosnan films, within the Craig films. But no sense of continuity between these eras in the series.
