In reply to Blue Straggler:
> Bond would know that he had not passed his field tests, especially marksmanship.
From his facial expression, I'd say he did know. Anyway, it's a film.
> Why does he have the DB5 from GoldFinger in a lockup in Kentish Town, in perfect working order? It makes no sense.
This is James Bond, why does it have to make sense?! It's just a film.
> Why is the tube train that Bardem drops on his head totally empty apart from a driver, at Embankment during rush hour?
It was planted by Silva - Q was surprised it was there, said something like 'That's odd'. Anyway, it's just a film.
> Why does Kincaid say "I was ready before you were born"? Ready for what, a renegade hit squad 45 years in the future?
Just a turn of phrase, anyway why wasn't he Scottish?! Ah, cos it's just a film.
> Why is M distracting Naomie Harris in the pre-credits sequence by nagging at her all the time when there is obviously some dynamic action going on?
Cos it's a film and films need dialogue and narration for the masses, apparently. And how else were they going to work in the VW Beetle product placement?!
> Why do senior MI6 operatives during a major security crisis drink a refreshing bottle of Heineken at mission control?
Cos they helped pay for the film! <Allegedly they used Coca Cola on the ground to stop the motorbikes skidding too much, but Coke didn't get a product placement deal for it!>
Chill Mr Straggler. It was a good film. Not as twisty-turny as Casino Royale but a good Bond film none the less. How many of the other Bond films were believable? Er, none! At least this one had a teensy-weensy bit of credibility!!!
