I went through a stage of not enjoying Bond films because I thought they were too far-fetched and unrealistic. Then I reminded myself that OF COURSE they are – that's the whole point! :lol:
I'd say that first bit was in keeping with what happened at the end of the previous two series. The side stories were dealt with, but the end results weren't ever directly referred to. I guess if there was any more emphasis on those bits it would take away the impact of the main final scenes...
