My Predictions

Will the Bond girl die in the Quantum of Solace?

Settled as No

Olga Kurylenko who played the 'Bond Girl' and was introduced first in the film did not meet her end in Quantum of Solace.

Background:

In nearly every bond movie, there has been a female companion of 007 who shares the same idelas as him and works towards the same goal. In the last film, the bond girl drowned in a collapsing building in venice. Will Quantum of Solace's bond girl die another day?
This question will settle as yes if the dame in question who was at Bond's side is dead at the end of the film and will settle as no if she is still alive. If there is more than one "Bond girl" will settle as the first. Any flashbacks to the previous girls won't count.


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.

The settlement details here are backwards I think. It says "this question will settle as yes if the dame in question who was on bond's side at the end of the film was still alive, and no if she suffered a grisly end." The question should be "will the bond girl survive?" Somethings is wrong, or I've had 1 glass of wine too many...

@spyder - I don't know if you've had too much wine, but I'm sure I haven't had enough. Either way, the question has been fixed. If either of the two bettors would like to have their wagers refunded, just let me know via flag.

the question was worded as such because bond is frequently betrayed by his partner at some point in the movie, or it turns out they were on opposite sides of the conflict (the world is not enough, die another day). if a bond girl who had betrayed bond, or has turned to the dark side is killed, the question will not settle as yes. the question is focused on whoever turns out to be "good" at the end of the film

@gadget - Sorry, I had to edit your question earlier to fix something. Its been clarified that the first Bond girls counts since shortly after the question was created though, so it can't be re-clarified differently. You could certainly create a companion question though asking about the "last" Bond girl.

Whoa! There was more than one Bond girl in this film. Strawberry Fields definitely counts and she was killed.

Plenty of major news sources referring to Gemma Arterton (Fields) playing a Bond Girl and here's one which also talks about the death scene: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1068483/SPOILER-ALERT.html

This has been settled the wrong way.

@richie_edinburgh-
If you read the background closely it mentions this possibility "if there is more than one "Bond girl" will settle as the first." The first and main Bond Girl being Camille (Olga Kurylenko) who lives. Though Ms. Fields does die, this question should still be settled as no.

Thanks - I always read the background closely, but didn't interpret it that way. Only considering the first Bond girl to appear on screen is a pretty arbitrary way of settling the question.
