"YOU SEE ALBIE, WHETHER THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG CAME FIRST ALL DEPENDS ON YOUR VIEW OF THE LORD ROOSTER ALMIGHTY"

The finish off the Bond Philosophical Trilogy, I must bring up one interesting point raised by Mrs St3nz: "If this movie shows how Bond became Bond, then Why is Judi Dench in here as M?"

Wha? This absolutely floored me. She was absolutely right.¹ As soon as she said that, I felt for sure that the movie would be ruined for me, since I cannot let something like that slide. It would be like the popcorn husk I would inevitably get between my teeth which would torment me until I could floss. How could I sit thru an entire Bond movie knowing that M, who replaced the old M, shouldn't even be there? It should have been a completely different M, since I'm sure the orignal M is dead. How could I stop myself from denouncing the screen about the fraud of a movie playing on it? How?!

Well, I did. Turns out that apart from staring at M's donkey teeth² I didn't even think about her in that role as being something abhorrent to nature. And if I can do it, then I guess there's hope for the rest of the world, too.³

1. About the continuity slip, not her being right. Sheesh! Give me some credit.
2. Lower jaw. Reinforces the stereotypical bad British teeth. I didn't see Danial Craig with donkey teeth. Come on Dame Judy. Visit the dentist. I'm sure your uppers are fake, so what's the problem?
3. Yeah, right.
