Network Analysis: James Bond
Well, now that the Doctor Who network is done I figured it was time to start a new one. Originally I was going to do Discworld [still am but been put on the backburner]. Instead a thought struck me that there was another character which has gone through many "regenerations" without no one batting an eye. And that is James Bond. So I figured I'd see what that network looked like.
And since I was creating a separate node for each actor who played Bond I would also need to create a separate node when other characters were played by different actors. This definitely would make for a better clustering co-efficient. The multiple coloured nodes on this initial display are:
James Bond : light blue
M : dark blue
Q : fuchsia
Miss Moneypenny : yellow
Felix Leiter : white
The large red ones are other "important characters" and the green ones are "the stories".
This is just the initial screenshot from the Networking program and it still needs some work before I import it into Illustrator and proceed to make, as Jürgen says, "a pretty picture".
You'll notice the two isolated stories for "James Bond-01" and "James Bond-03". These were the 1954 adaptation for CBS in 1954 and the terrible, terrible adaptation of Casino Royale. Also, the story poking out from "James Bond-02" is the Sean Connery story "Never Say Never Again" which was not done by the company which produced all the other standard Bond films and Connery is the only connection to that story.
I'm finding that when you look at science with a different slant it can really produce some amazing images. Just ask Benoit Mandelbrot the French American Mathematician and the father of fractal geometry.
