I think that a low of viewers, who aren't checking their watch, will be surprised that there's another setpiece - in London - after that.

^This. It does, in some ways, feel like a four-act film, which adds to the running time. If the film is as entertaining to watch as it is to read, however, I think that time will fly by.
That would be really cool!
"The final chunk of the already lengthy
sequence, originally due to end with
a skidoo chase through the village and
culminate with Bond and Hinx facing
off at a dam, was truncated, presumably
because at some point someone would
have needed to stop for a pee. "
This has to be a rumor, right? It's not even in the 1st draft.
I think it may have been a joke, or a very early idea.
I just feel that now that Eon can use all the tropes of SPECTRE (execution killings, numbered names, nehru suit, white cat?) but in a darker way , they will.
I'm hoping that Swann is a Bunt-like figure and that she survives and returns in another film based on the novel YOLT...surely she'll want to work with Waltz again (if he survives the film, which I'd say is likely).
I'll be back to check after I see the film. :)
So I still think that B25 will be a continuation of SP with Swann playing out Tracy's story and Blofeld becoming Blofeld in B25. The spots on Waltz's face in pictures from what appeared to be the final scenes shot in London point to what will obviously be some CGI scarring work done on Waltz's face so that he is only becoming Blofeld as the film is ending. If Swann is killed in the beginning of B25, then that film almost writes itself. Bond spends the rest of B25 hell bent on revenge, chasing down Blofeld and a Spectre.
I think @Timmer mapped this out months ago in a post. The fact that EON and Mendes kept denying that B24/B25 would be a 2 parter kind of makes it all the more likely. Maybe B25 isn't a total Part II, but still very much a continuing saga. Why wouldn't they want to maintain as much plot mystery as they can given the crap they were put through with the Sony leaks.
I thought that, too.
But that's becaue Sam Smith wrote the lyrics after reading that script in December. ;-)
He recorded the song in January.
The song would make a lot of sense as the end-credit-song.
Maybe they put an instrumental version for the title-sequence - like they did in FRWL.
As some are noting, the lyrics are a big spoiler. They in effect relate the ending from the leaks. That's why it should only be on the end credits. And of course the problems with the spoilers and the falsetto criticisms would then not be so potentially harmful to the film itself. But Mendes and EON would never have the guts to admit to making the mistake of choosing this song as the title song over the opening credits in the first place.
"Casino Royale" and "Quantum of solace" were not mentioned in "You know my name" and "Another way to die".
