That car chase at the end doesn't exactly not look thrilling.
Skyfall's pts is spectacular and thrilling but I wouldn't exactly say that the Scotland climax is any slouch.
Whereas SPECTRE the pts is by far the best part of the film, so I'll give you that one.
I actually think I prefer Craig's approach to a finale. I appreciate that they try to take it the extra mile by not having everything come to an end at the villain's lair, with the exception of QoS, but to be honest there's a reason that film is the shortest Bond film.
And @Shardlake, you're exactly right. Who knows? Also, it seems from what we've seen so far that the film will be so sprinkled with action that I think every location is gonna be just as exciting as the last.
Valid remarks!
The only definitive ones are the below and no I don't buy possibly one of the most famous SWLM as not connected to the main film due to triple X's lover being killed and that element coming back into the film later on, so for me that isn't separate.

That is it actually, all the others have either a mild connection or a very strong connection.
The idea of separate mini movies is like one of those things that gets attributed to the series yet it is very few and far between.
That is 5/25.
You're right; I was just thinking about this when I was watching OP's PTS, and how it is actually one of the few that isn't connected whatsoever to the main film. Even MR has a little bit of connection with the shuttle part. You could even stretch FYEO with the revenge lecture Bond gives Melina.
It’s really just GF, FYEO, and OP that are totally independent from the rest of the movie plot.
I was going to say Thunderball considering Jacques Bouvar's death doesn't really have a direct influence on the rest of the plot. However, on the other hand, I suppose the fact that he was a SPECTRE agent is enough of a connection to exclude it.
I thought about that too, but it does fit the minor connection category since Blofeld mentions it at the meeting (plus it’s another blow Bond has dealt SPECTRE; there’s a great sense of growing tension between Bond and the organization from DN to OHMSS).
This film is a mess based on what you say here then. They should have moved on but no Barbara can't help it.
It is almost seen a trademark of the series when talking about them.
I hadn't watched TND in ages (I'm in no rush) so wasn't sure but I remember now Ricky Jay is in the PTS and he is also one of Carver's stooges.
TB because JB is a Spectre agent and it gets mentioned after the PTS yet again it is connected.
So really only.

I hope you do it's hard to look at Bond anymore it's being destroyed in front of my eyes.
Maybe the same will happen with me and my worries which are not music related but I don't know at this point I know I'm not alone at least.
One niggle at a time.
A big niggle
We generally need a job. To eat, sleep and to be healthy and happy.
But being a fan of something is not compulsory.
No one is forcing anyone to be a Bond fan.
If I felt that strongly, I’d probably take a step back. Rather than get worked up over it.
Its passion
I hear you. My fear is that the films are getting too dragged away from Fleming. I have no doubt NTTD will look spectacular, will have some thrilling action scenes, will probably sound great. The acting will probably be top notch too.
My fear is the Scooby gang being centre of the action again, lessons not learned from SP, the story focusing too much again on past secrets, family angst, etc.
This has been the biggest gripe with the Craig era. I hope I'm proved wrong, and the film has loads of lifted scenes from unused Fleming novels, has Q, M and co. firmly back in their rightful place at HQ, focuses more on Bond on a straight forward mission again, etc. etc.
But the trailer doesn't hint at this. Instead it hints at more of the same that we saw in SP.
Anyway, we'll all know the outcome in a few weeks time.
In all seriousness, I find the reaction to "woke" "feminism" "SJW" by some so over the top that it's almost entertaining. If it were a parody, the deep seated fear would be that the womenz will conquer the world and reduce men to breeding stock. A world without baseball, barbecue, and cat calling women. OH THE HUMANITY.
I mean, the reaction to a black woman possibly being the new 007 was so over the top I can't imagine it would have been the same if it turned out another straight white male just got the number after Bond left.
I don't have an issue with "woke/sjw/feminists/those group(s) of people" their ignorance and/or intolerance helped Kingdom Come: Deliverance sell above the expectations of the developers. I think once word got around of how good it was, I think it would have sold well enough, but their complaining on twitter (I am shooketh) brought the game free advertising. Which is funny, becuase that normally happens the other way around. Film featuring strong female character? Oh noes, bAn itz naow.
Who would have thought that a game developed with the intent on being more historically accurate, set in Medieval times, in a part of Europe where there were no black people.... has no black people in it!
God be with you, twitter warriors.
GF, if I recall correctly, has Bond mention that he's about to take a plane for Miami. That's very thin, I know.
Also I've always felt that FYEO's PTS had a thematic connection to the rest of the movie as both Bond and Melina seek revenge for someone they cared.
