No, it hasn't really been seven months since the last Bond Mystery, your internal body clock is just wrong.

 

It may seem like it, though...

So here's another one. A little ditty that has bugged me for many years. I'm sure the answer is down to 'Bond Villain Conventions' but, being the pedant I am, I love to query.

Nice work Dan.  I think this scene boils down to simply showing the sinister pleasure Stromberg gets from letting the two men think they have safely made a get away only to blow up their copter seconds later.

 

Also, I think Stromberg could easily afford to waste a chopper.  It would be peanuts to him.  But your right, the most efficient way is not to transfer the funds in the first place and just dump them in the shark tank.

Had an idea for your Bond Mysteries if you haven't already done it. 

 

In YOLT when Bond and Aki are being chased and the helicopter picks up the car following them and drops it in the Ocean, Bond and Aki are watching it on a monitor. So whose filming it? Are we to believe that there was another helicopter following it and filming?
