Agreed.
Agreed. Enough with the sad attempts to duplicate Jack Bauer and Ethan Hunt. Let's get back to Bond on a mission doing what he does best with limited involvement from MI6 office amateurs & tech geeks. Q shut down Nine Eyes in SP. What did Bond do? Save Madeline.
Yeah for the whole of the SP car chase I was just thinking of all the 24 scenes when Jack is on the phone with Chloe!
Again, I agree. The Trevelyan character was somewhat mishandled from script to screen. I believe he was also meant to have been played by a much older actor (Anthony Hopkins?), not that that would've changed the character's traitorous motives that much. As an aside, I also had the same problem with Raoul Silva, in that he was too similar to Trevelyan.
Yes it's annoying but only because it's bang on the money.
I am as ready to see a spectacular Bond film as I was to see a grounded one in 2002.
Clochwise from bottom left: Bond, Moneypenny, M, Q. Tanner in the middle.
I'm not putting anything past them just yet. I wouldn't be shocked if Mendes returned.
Not shocked but terrible annoyed.
Of Waltz, Mendes, Newman and Sedoux who would we be most dismayed to see return?
For me (in order of person I would least like back):
1. Newman
2. Mendes
3. Seydoux
4. Waltz
It doesn't take much for Hinx's return to beat the only other henchman return of the series. Here's hoping they don't screw that up.
1. Waltz
2. Seydoux
3. Newman
4. Mendes
Regarding the first two: One should only be given one chance to make a poor first impression. They both did. Plus I'd rather not be reminded of SP after having four long years to distance myself and forget it.
Why am I not so fussed if Mendes returns? Well, if he does I think he will feel compelled to deliver something at least on par with SF, and that would be decent enough for me. The same goes for Newman.
My order is the exact reverse.
I still think it's pretty funny. I think it's earned it's place as a classic forum term- right up there with referring to Michael G Wilson as Mickey G. :)
I prefer Whitehall Brigade, myself. It's the term Mendes used in the first place.
True, they let former MI6 agents post agent profiles on Youtube, and unknowingly hire SPECTRE agents that plot to merge MI6 and demolish the Double-O Section while incorrectly referring to it as the "Double-O Program".
Bernard Lee's M would tolerate none of that.
"Of all the fouled-up, half-witted operations!"

Yes, that "Double-O Program" term is utterly wrong. The use of Double-Ohs isn't meant to be a temporary, transient thing. It's permanent, and it's no program.
For me, though, Mendes deserves some blame for the messed up script. John Logan was Mendes' guy and he was working with Mendes while working on the first draft. I suspect Logan was channeling themes Mendes wanted.
When I hear it referred to as such, it never sits well with me when I view SP.
Solace.
It was funny when you wrote it. It isn t funny when forty others repeat it every day for two years.
