    Well, compare her reaction when James is killed, and when she meets the other James, Tiago. In which case does she seem more touched ? :)

    With Bond, in my opinion. When she sees Silva again she looks like she'd sooner have him killed right then and there if given the choice. I still don't know what you are trying to argue with these lines of questioning, but I'll play along all the same. ;)

    Interesting, first time I noticed Tiago and James are indeed the same name.

    Frankly, when I rewatched the scene to find some clues for the YPST (Yale Professor Skyfall Theory), I found M looked more responsive when Silva told her about the torture, that when she lost Ronson and Bond. But well here I guess it's in the eye of the beholder.

    But so far, the best defence I can give for the original YPST are IMO : - Silva's using an anagram indeed in the movie (the name of his Youtube channel), so the anagram YPST clue is not as 100% silly as it seems, - and all the play Logan does with identities throughout the whole movie (I listed them above). It's even a bit too much when you think about it, even the MacGuffin deals with identities !

    And that's supposed to be an anagram for what, exactly?

    'Silva'

    Unless you were being sarcastic and meant something else. But yes, 'vials' = 'silva.'

    I'd probably pass on filling in that application to go on Countdown if I were you Brady.
