007 First Light: Here's What James Bond Might Be Up to in His Next Game, Based Mostly on My Hopes and Dreams
More than 70 years after the character first appeared in the novel Casino Royale, James Bond is being reinvented yet again. The latest news comes from IO Interactive, makers of the Hitman games, who announced the title of its upcoming Bond game: 007 First Light, which will be shown off later this week. It has been an interesting year for Bond, with longtime producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson handing creative control over to Amazon MGM Studios in February, and the studio hiring Amy Pascal and David Heyman as their effective replacements. And almost 30 years after the iconic GoldenEye 007 blended espionage elements into first-person shooter gameplay on the N64, we're getting a glimpse of the next incarnation of Bond video games, from a studio that has lots of experience with stealth and subterfuge. The website for First Light describes it as "a wholly original Bond origin story" that will be about Bond earning his 00 status. In Bond lore, agents are only granted 00 status after killing one (sometimes multiple) people as part of an assignment. But guessing that James Bond will have to shoot someone in an upcoming 007 game isn't exactly the boldest prediction. So, what should we expect Bond to be up to in this game? I own all of the Ian Fleming 007 novels and most of the movies and have seen every official Eon-produced Bond film. Based on that extensive experience and (moreso) the willingness to blindly gaze into a crystal ball, here's what I think we might see in First Light. Searching for a missing 007 After decades of books and movies following myriad incarnations of James Bond, a lot has already been explored, but one thing the movies haven't really touched is what happened to the previous 007. That point comes up in the plot of an Anthony Horowitz Bond novel, but is otherwise fresh territory for a game portraying Bond's origins. James inheriting the 007 designation after investigating the disappearance of his predecessor could add new layers of meaning and weight to the title. Discovering Spectre Spectre, the Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion organization, became a recurring antagonist in Fleming's later novels and a frequent presence in Connery films. It's basically a melting pot of criminal organizations from around the world, allowing for conveniently apolitical villainous agendas. Bond unraveling the threads that lead to MI6's first encounter with SPECTRE would be a fun way to nod to the character's history while still treading new ground. Uncovering MI6 corruption Bond himself is prone to going rogue, usually because he of course knows better than the official orders handed to him, so another possible angle is sending him to investigate possible traitorous activity inside his own organization. This could play nicely with the "earning 00 status" element, presenting Bond with situations where he's tasked with taking out former agents gone bad. IO Interactive has said that this will be an original incarnation of Bond -- no Connery, Craig, etc. look-alike. The title teaser shows us a silhouette of the character, but we should get our first proper look at the character in a few days.

Jackson and Sotomayor dissent from colleagues' rejection of race discrimination appeal
Supreme Court Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor dissented from their colleagues' refusal to hear a race discrimination case Monday, in a dispute that also tells a bigger story about the current state of the high court. The rejected petition came from adult entertainer Chanel Nicholson, who performed at clubs in Houston. She brought a lawsuit claiming that the clubs had engaged in race discrimination. An appeals court said her claims were barred because they fell outside the statute of limitations. But in her dissent, which was joined by Sotomayor, Jackson wrote that the lower court ruling 'flouts this Court's clear precedents.' It takes four justices to grant review. On a court with six Republican appointees and three Democratic appointees, liberal-leaning petitions are all but doomed, saying nothing of how a majority of the court would rule if review were granted. But Nicholson's case is also the latest example of a case not even garnering all three Democratic appointees' interest, with Justice Elena Kagan not joining the dissent. That's not a new phenomenon — Jackson and Sotomayor have spoken out on their own plenty before, without Kagan — but it reinforces a split within the Democratic appointees' priorities. We saw a split among Republican appointees play out in a separate case Monday, when a Second Amendment appeal fell just short of getting four votes. In that case, however, a statement from Justice Brett Kavanaugh suggested that the right to bear assault weapons could land on the high court docket soon. Yet, when it comes to an appeal like the one Jackson and Sotomayor flagged, it's not a matter of time but a matter of the court's composition. Indeed, the two Democratic appointees didn't just say they wanted the discrimination appeal to be reviewed but that they wanted to summarily reverse the lower court's ruling. That generally takes six votes, showing how much further out of reach their judicial goals are in this case and others.
