LOL! You kind of do have to see it that way. Her alternate self (Now I feel like watching Back To The Future) in the new continuity hasn't had hardly any MI6 traitors (with a whopping 2 in this film! New record!)! That's pretty funny, considering the Broz era standards, where I was beginning to think 24's CTU had a branch in London.

Er, isn't Vesper's boyfriend character dead ?


In the book, I think so; not sure about the film, although I seem to remember some reference at the end of the film when M does her now traditional "Oh, we didn't bother checking her out properly" routine. Rebooted, but still a frickin' idiot.


As well as micro-managing, ill-tempered, lazy and incompetent, with a hefty side order of self-righteousness.


One would have thought that she would have reflected on the lessons of the Miranda Frost affair.

No - wait - that hasn't happened yet, has it? Or has it? Is this the same person?

Ow, brain hurts.


It happens after she get's rail-roaded by her Oxford pal Sir Robert's sweet little girl.

But wait, Did this M read law at Oxford too?
