Which isn't officially sanctioned by MI6, otherwise Fiennes' M would have been OK with Bond being in Mexico.
EDIT: Doesn't M tell Bond ''You had no authority. None.'' which proves Bond's quest for Sciarra is not approved by MI6?
Err I didn't disagree with you.
But in OHMSS he doesn't receive a mission from M per se. He is relieved of one although Bond says 'I assumed you reassign me'. I take it we are to presume M gives the go ahead but this is not seen on screen.
If you want to change the goalposts to include removing him from a mission then fine but if you could please notify us beforehand.
Well isn't the whole Sir Hillary Bray stuff sanctioned by M? Bond tells M about the documents he found in Gumbold's office. I thought only the final assault on Piz Gloria was not an official mission.
No doubt it is but M never explicitly states this. Bond could just as easily have been told 'you are off operation Bedlam and theres and end of it' so storms out of Quaterdeck in a huff and books another two weeks leave and goes and does all the Hilary Bray stuff on his own just as he did with Gumbold.
But Bond joins with Draco to attack Piz Gloria against M's orders.
So was M in a position to arrest Blofeld if C had shut down the Double 0s?
Someone could have said to M, "You have no authority. None."
Yes, although said law (the Special Measures Act 2001) doesn't actually exist in reality.
I really liked Spectre, but the whole double 0 section being old fashioned had been done in Skyfall. I hope they drop the 'old dog' stuff in the next movie.
It's called the '00 program' now apparently. Get with the err program @shamanimal.
Although given M says to the policeman on the bridge '00 section' can we assume that renaming it the '00 program' was a C initiative and now that he's dead M thinks 'Right enough of that Bourne bollocks I'm going back to calling it the 00 section'.
I f**king well hope so.
So C is out and M is back in. ;)
The Bond's in one house ? ;)
We'll forget only if they can blow up MI6 again in one of the next 2 films. ;)
But I do worry about it mate. Because they are far from interchangeable. One is what it has always been called and comes from the pen of Fleming. And the other is a f**king travesty that pisses all over his grave.
