Were they merely team mates in the Janus syndicate, or is it implied that they have a sexual relationship as well?

    I think they were just Allies otherwise Trevelyan would have been death in less than you may think.

    You think that she would kill him even though they were allies? Like, even though he was technically her boss, you don't think that they could have had a romantic/sexual relationship together in the pursuit of their crimes? She looks at him suggestively when they escape in the helicopter from the bullet train, so it looks like they are pretty close together in that regard.

    They may have had sex but I doubt there was any romance involved. He was a cold bastard and she was deranged.

    I think her impulses were too strong to be able to contro them, that woman was always horny and part of that was killing the men who were with her.

    She would have killed him accidentally

    They could have been friends at most in my opinion. But he never showed any obvious grief for her when she was killed. At the very least they were team mates with a common agenda.

    I'm inclined to agree. She was incapable of safe sexual relations. She would have killed Alec without meaning to.

    Alec discovered she had a crush on him.

    I didn't read the novelization. Maybe the answer is there.

    I was thinking that myself but it's been too long since I last read it to remember if it mentions anything about this.

    The train confrontation with Bond hints at something. I always wondered who was watching Xenia and the Canadian Admiral having relations. Kind of kinky to think someone was in the room with them.

    I presumed it was whoever the guy was who is posing as the Admiral to enter the launch event. It's a bit odd how he's never seen on screen or ever mentioned again, although a bit of me admires the filmmaking efficiency of that.

    I always thought it was either Ourumov or Alec that was that person. But I suppose it could have been another character we never saw.

    Either way it is pretty warped that they watch the sex and then watch as the man is killed.

    Always assumed it was Ouromov that picked the ID card and accompanied Xenia in the Eurocopter, since Ouromov arrives with her in the helicopter at Severnaya. Always assumed they flew on a non-stop flight from frigate to bunker. Doesn't explain the Chuck lookalike at the Tiger demonstration.

    That’s a very long non-stop journey for a helicopter.
    I also assumed that the unseen potential voyeur was Ouromov.

    As to a sexual encounter between Alec and Xenia, surely he did. Who wouldn’t?

    Ah Xenia... One of my favourites. A little nasty, dangerous, menacing, gorgeous... To die like that admiral, if only. Femke made it work.

    It is, and unlikely how it played out. Just the editing makes it look this way.

    No idea about Alec and Xenia. We like to think they did though, don't we? What's clear is they both like strawberries!

    They change clothes though. I don't think it's supposed to be Ouromov in Monaco. Plus it's clearly a day or so later as Bond returns to the UK in that time.

    I clearly need to watch this film more. Anniversary viewing coming up!

    That one boggles me too. Clearly, Ouromov looks nothing like Chuck.

    Must be a bit of Blofeld-style plastic surgery dopplegangery going in there.

    Or the same plastic surgeon as Mister Angelo got in TB?

    Either way, please remember, we use Science Fact in Bond films. ;)

    Regarding Alec and Xena, could it be like Bellatrix or whatever her name was and Lord Voldemort? He's the only person she'll ever love, she's fanatically devoted to him, but he's just using her.

    Regarding the doppelganger, I always understood it was inspired by Angelo in TB.
