The only Q scene that Desmond Llewelyn played completely straight... and he does it brilliantly. Apparently he was paid £30 for this, wasn't invited to the premiere, and saw the film in his local cinema in Hastings!
Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.
Back in 63, the very act of air travel, passing through an airport and getting a car for hotel check-in... was an exciting enough fantasy for most folk in the audience, to warrant Bond theme scoring in the film!

I actually remember the Jamaika arrival scene from Dr. No everytime that I am leaving an airport after having arrived

If they think THAT'S something, wait until Connery checks his room for bugs with the theme score blaring at a volume level of 11.
Yeah, it doesn't feel germane. But it certainly glorifies the whole foreign travel fantasy of every travelling salesman of the day.
SPECTRE is everywhere (as Mr White might have said in 'SPECTRE')... even in the hotel reception! And Nikki van der Zyl is everywhere too!

What I love about this movie: everyone is competent at their jobs. Connery doesn't 'win' by the enemy acting stupidly, he 'wins' because he happens to make the best decisions at any given time.
I had trhe oportunity to visit the reservoars once, but I chose another place to visit. I think it was have been the harem. This was before I really became a Bond fan.

100% agree
Instead we are always seeing Bond being confronted with his inner conflicts
