Bond's apparent lack of concern about Severine's death is a problem, here, I think... because not Bondian. The sequence allows him no time for even a brief mournful reaction shot (as Bond over Aki's death, or even Bond taking a moment of sadness over Miranda Frost's dead body).
I don’t think he felt no concern. Before the “good scotch” line he seemed a bit taken back, but it’s not like he could just scream out “whyyyy?!”, he needed to maintain a sense of composure.

Exactly. It’s continuing to thE mind game and putting Silva off as he makes his move.

Maybe it’s just arrogance on Q’s part—he knows it’s a hacker’s computer and there’s a risk, but he believes that his skill and the firewalls he’s set up can block anything.
Yes, leaving London with the target is just a dumb idea.
Blend in with a couple of million people and nearby police/ military would be the obvious solution.

Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
A question for UK members: is the obnoxious Chair of the Joint Defence Committee in SF more like Yvette Cooper (Chair of Home Affairs Committee) or more like Priti Patel (Home Secretary) - both awfully snarky - especially with each other - irl?
Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.
"He's keen to get home". That line would have worked in a Roger Moore Bond, but it's used sparingly. it's not a lot of jokes and only a few really work.

That wasn’t a miniature. It was full size real train.

Not in all shots as far as I know

Yup. Arnold would have been so much better.
It was. They didn’t use a miniature at all.
