    Gobinda is the odd one out, as the rest spell BOND.

    Damn, you have it already. I thought I was smart. :-S

    Oh, you are smart, @goldenswissroyale . Don t worry about that, cool idea.

    Here is a foursome, where one is the opposite of the other three in one specific regard:

    NSNA, TLD, LTK, NTTD

    Nice one both.

    TLD is the OOO as it’s the first appearance by Dalton, the others are all last appearances by the actor?

    You got that right, but there is more to it. A unique connection.

    NSNA Bond is off active duty
    LTK Bond resigns or is fired by M
    NTTD Bond is off Active Duty

    TLD Bond threatens to quit or get fired but doesn't follow through.

    Therefore TLD is the only film where Bond is off duty at certain points of the movie.

    Not that.

    Okay how about a cheeky response.

    NSNA is OOO cause it doesn't have the James Bond theme.

    No, @Max_The_Parrot got it right, but it s only half the answer.

    TLD: first appearance of a Bond actor but last appearance of the same composer. The others are the last with the same Bond while the soundtrack is delivered by someone new.

    Congratulations! Good thinking and absolutely right.

    Thanks. Very good round.
    New round.
    Three movies show something similar. Which is at the same time the odd one out?
    The movies are:
    The one with M at Bond's home.
    The one without M.
    The one with two Ms.

    Good start. Nothing about animals.

    And: I never thought about the fact that C is suddenly maybe even M ( was the name Max chosen therefore?). Forget SP for this round.

    Not that, Judi Dench is on the video.

    Ooh, yes. I didn't think of that, although I would know when asked...sorry for the confusion!
    Again: forget about SP this round.

    So the three films are

    LALD
    FYEO
    SF

    LALD has a briefing at Bond's house
    FYEO has a briefing in M's office without M present
    SF has no briefing

    Therefore SF is odd one out.

    Each of the three films has a henchman falling to their death from out of a window: Tee-Hee is flipped out of the train's window by Bond in LALD, Erich is pushed out the window of the building by Bond in FYEO, and Patrice falls from the building in Shanghai after the window is shattered in SF. The train's window in LALD is the only one that isn't broken of the three, so LALD is the odd one out (there is a window broken in the scene, but not the one Bond flips Tee-Hee out of).

    Unfortunately not that @thedove
    @FoxRox this is not what I have in mind but it's a very cool idea with a perfect explanation for the ooo. You have to try again, but you deserve already a price of honour.
    Your idea is much more creative than mine...

    The villains are part of large criminal organisations, but whereas Mr Big and Kristatos are at the head of theirs, Silva isn’t, so SF OOO?

    No, nothing directly about the villains.

    Hint: We see something in all three movies. Something lifeless.

    Let's try this: all three movies include cemeteries. In LALD, there's the cemetery in San Monique. In FYEO, there's the cemetery in the PTS where Bond visits Tracy's grave. In SF, there is the cemetery in Scotland near the chapel, which includes the grave of Bond's parents Andrew and Monique. FYEO and SF feature the tombstones of people who were close to Bond, LALD does not, so LALD is the odd one out.

    Very good job @FoxRox. I only thought about the tombstones and not about cemetries but the result is exactly the same. Your turn once again =D>

    @Thunderfinger Sorry, no. Nothing to do with the villains/henchmen.
