Well, I don't see how it invalidates Bond's plan.  He had two objectives: Lure Silva and end his techno-terrorist threat and keep M alive.  He did one, failed at the other.  Sometimes plans don't work out, that's just life.

Well, that does sound awesome, but I'd still take this version of Bond over that one.  Maybe in a different, more comical action hero franchise (and some have argued Bond isn't supposed to be an action hero).

Eh, in that case, I think the answer is "drama" and shit.  Plus, I think Judi Dench is getting pretty old, so they needed an out in case she died.

Huh, I tried looking for that song (even through legal means!) and it always seems packaged with 2 others.  What the fuck, Snow Patrol?

Hey, you may have sacrificed an animal, but we sacrificed a whole damn race!  HAHA FUCK NATIVE AMERICANS!

Is this like a Tinychat thing?

When did they say that?  It might make sense for a few characters, but feels like a cop out…

But I'd assume the trail gets exponentially harder to cover up if you begin to add additional elements to it. Q himself remarks about how the he had little to no margin of error in exposing Bond's trail without tipping to Silva that he was doing it purposely.

I think the answer to that question is kinda obvious: Silva is a master hacker.  If there is a government-sponsored set-up involving Special Forces, he's going to know about it and he's not going to come like a fucking idiot.  This was basically the best plan Bond could come up within the heat of the moment to entrap…

*SPOILRS*

Okay, top two.

It's funny, but for all this talk about Pierce's exit, it's not the biggest challenge facing Season 5.  The biggest challenge is keeping the group together organically after graduation.

It's up to preference, but I think by rebooting the Bond franchise, the Daniel Craig era gave me a chance to actually give a shit about the characters, whereas the previous films were fun but empty.

The new Bond films really lack the charm and humor of the older ones.

SEVEN-FIGURE SALARY.  That is, seven Chevy Chase bobbleheads.  I think that's about how much he's worth.
