This version was showed in cinemas in Sweden but has since gone un-cut. I was quite peeved when I watched the new BR and noticed these cuts.
Nope.
Seems bizarre, don't you think? As much as I adore Spectre, trying to reinvent the classic henchman without telling the general audience what to call him was a mistake.
Who do you think wanted t kill Bond in the PTS ? I doubt it was Jaws, he's just a hired hand (well, mouth). So what are your theories about those mysterious adversaries ?
I think
From the Daniel Craig era postcard, Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, and Spectre are all quite obvious but the Skyfall reference isn't coming to me; any help? Must have something to do with the mouth but I'm not seeing it...
EDIT: My opinion is that @Creasy47 and Walecs are both correct on the above. Q was 99% sure Oberhauser was dead given the information he had and really needed Bond back in London to protect his own career.
Could it be the bullets that Patrice uses on Bond.
Either way it's a pretty cool postcard.
When Sanchez says "You were very quiet when I was arrested" to El Presidente, is that why the check to the leader is half the usual amount? Sanchez was upset with him?
Yes, Sanchez is obviously paying the President to keep him 'on side' and only pays him half his usual bribe because he didn't do much to help him when he needed it.
He then reminds him that the alternative to this situation is death (which fits his rule explained earlier of "lead or silver", i.e. be bribed or be killed).
I think the SF reference is the skull itself. It shares a decent resemblance with the graphic that pops up on M's laptop before the MI6 explosion, followed by the "Think on yours sins" message:

With some of SP's Day of the Dead imagery in mind, this scene has new interest and impact.
That's Vesper's Algerian love knot, is it not?
Knot or not? I don t know, it is just a drawing. The human eye sees anything it looks for I guess.
I notice no one responded to your comment given that it makes absolute sense. It's almost as if it undermines the negative rhetoric...
