No Bond trilogy, next movie starts a fresh?

Did Daniel Craig not like QUANTUM OF SOLACE or did he not like the so-so reaction from critics and the mostly negative reaction from the general public? He has been talking very loudly over the last few weeks about the direction HE thinks the franchise should take. He's not talking the way usual franchise actors do about the future installments in the series, he is talking the way someone who has an agenda talks...

€œWe€™ve finished this story as far as I€™m concerned. We€™ve got a great set of bad guys. There is an organization that we can use whenever we want to. The relationship between Bond and M is secure and Felix is secure. Let€™s try and find where Moneypenny came from and where Q comes from. Let€™s do all that and have some fun with it.€
YOU CAN READ THE FULL INTERVIEW AT COLLIDER HERE Once again he tells us he wants Q and Moneypennny integrated in the next installment. I have to agree, it feels like it's time to expand on the expedition scenes by including some humor (sadly lacking in the last movie) and shaking things up a bit between the Judi Dench/Daniel Craig scenes. He also hints there that he wants a break from the "bigger" villain idea for the next movie and set it around a new set of bad guys for this installment. Sounds good to me... a little divergence to tell a great stand alone story is never a bad thing.
