I will agree with you that those two ally deaths are two of the most impacting, without a doubt! The chilling menace of Drax's Dobermans and the cruel cunning of Necros prove more than supensful in those scenes.

I found alot of the smaller roles in SF were cast well. A reason I think it to be a far, far better film than QOS.
I like that actor a log, he has played minor characters perfectly in several films and tv series. Did you notice Mr. Fukutu was in the casino?
The man with the ponytail from CR? No way.
That woman on the subway in London when Craig appears on the front of the car, and says 'Health and Safety', have to include her
Probably some others to include from the latest release but that's all I can think of right now
Strangely, I have always had a thing for these two minor Bond girls
Other minor characters, the young Navy guy who says "leave it to me" in TSWLM, Rubelvitch\Rubavitch and, the VERY sinister Angelo from TB
The bald guy was certainly a contender for bigger role & each time I see him I think Marvel The Kingpin lookalike.
The double taking pigeon from Moonraker hasn't been mentioned thus far, which does conclude that non-humans really can't participate in this
That said, I include the heavy from Skyfall who falls into the pit with Bond, and gets attacked by the komodo dragon. Surely worth a mention
And let's not forget the woman on the subway when Bond says 'Health and Safety', if it hasn't already been mentioned
Just going outside of the Craig era, other names to include would be the German woman who has her vehicle stolen by Bond in Octopussy, "Mein auto!", The man who "I hope isn't invited to dinner" in The Living Daylights, and last but not least, the taxi driver in Paris who Bond steals a car from, who was of course featured recently in a GTC round
What?! :-/
Next time, and I've seen it three times believe me, when Silva is first seen in the glass case, a big insect appears and floats across the screen inside. I promise you it's there
I recognized it more, because as soon as I saw it, I immediately thought - "This deserves a place in the minor character fall of fame"
If you go for another watch, take a look next time, it's hard not to miss it
Mr Moth's moment of fame, you could call it ?
Baltimores perfectly correct - the perils of watching the film on IMAX twice as I have.
Theres also a fly or something when Bond is looking at himself in the mirror after shagging the Greek bird. Is there some subtext by Mendes here showing us that Bond and Silva both attract insects?
And dont forget the scorpion!
Perhaps another thread about the animals of Bond? Blofelds cat, Albert the crocodile, the elephant that pushes JW into the canal? It has fascinating possibilities. Or not.
What are you? Some kind of doomsday machine, boy?
He's not minor at all!
Allow me to over-analyze:
Bond testing fate with the scorpion and trapping it in his shot glass symbolize his later tussles with Silva, where he manages to capture him as well.
The butterfly in Silva's cell symbolizes his desire for freedom to strike out at M, if only he wasn't blocked from her. The butterfly also symbolizes how Silva has changed from M's favorite to her most feared, as if he came out of a cocoon, no longer his past self before his torture.
The fly near Bond further symbolizes his freedom, his flight if you will, from his job. As a fly naturally lands on fecal matter at times, they further reflect Bond's own appearance as a man fractured by the drink.
=))
Neither is Pepper because Pepper doesn't seem to like minors.
Mrs Bell, also from LALD. Just love the looks she gives Bond. "You're over revving!".
Blofeld's cat from YOLT who tries to escape. It must have dug it's claws into poor Donald.
