Yet in films targeted largely at males, for example James Bond, the sex interest girls are generally low status.
What? That doesn’t seem true. Many of them are his near equals (but evil or at least rivals). Many are colleagues that are fairly high status. I mean, probably somewhat lower status than Bond. But he’s freaking James Bond. He’s the highest status person there is (in his universe). High standard to meet!

Then why are they completely replaced from one film to the next? Whereas there are recurring male characters (and recurring female characters that Bond doesn’t sleep with).

Because people like to see romance (or, at least, sexual trysts) bloom. Stable ongoing relationships are sweet and all but just aren’t what we like to see. See what happens when any male and female leads on TV series get together...
I believe that’s Sam’s point.
That doesn’t seem right. Firstly because it isn’t what he said and secondly because assuming that was his point would hardly be generous to Sam… because it is a terrible (near irrelevant) point.
