Yeah, Guest, that is an interesting tidbit about the shorting of the airline stocks...something that still seems to be generally underneath the radar of the public at large for some reason.

Now...back to the movie. Good point, Ron Olesko: " that the first impression of Bond helps establish what they like or dislike about the character."

That is absolutely right. First impressions of any character establish an expectation in a person's mind and that makes it difficult for them to appreciate a different version of the character as much as the one they saw the first time.
