She had to get something off her chest...
Instead, Blofeld underwent extensive surgical procedures to present himself as Marie, in an elaborate scheme involving several false leads to throw Bond off track. Ever noticed how ”Marie’s” information doesn’t really lead Bond to Blofeld? All by design. In fact, Bond fell so hard for the deciet that he unquestioningly killed his supposed target in the mud transformation clinic, not letting the fact that the alledged Blofeld suddenly looked rather like his late contact Henderson get in his way. And to celebrate his successful plan Marie-Blofeld then took on further surgery to look like Henderson himself, reasoning that as Bond had already killed that threat, he surely woudn’t suspect a thing should their paths ever cross again.
Yes. That’s about it. And that On Her Majesty’s Secret Service business never really happened, did it?
At the start of the movie we see Agent Hamilton die while watching a Filet of Soul Restaurant in New Orleans. The killing is covered up with an elaborate funeral.
Further into the film we see Harold Strutter staking out the same Filet of Soul Restaurant. The same small man approaches and then the scene cuts to Bond and Leiter getting out of a car. Leiter remarks "hell of a send off". We never see Strutter again in the film. Did Strutter indeed die staking out the restaurant?
Part of me thinks that Strutter did indeed live. I build it up in my mind that he somehow evaded the knife plunge and walked away. However his death or narrow escape is up in the air. I guess I am an eternal optimist!
What is your theory did Harold Strutter die in New Orleans?
To jog your memory here is the scene. If he did die why not show it? Why leave it to the audience to determine if he lived or perished.
I wonder if this is why I was so optimistic that Strutter had survived?!
It does beg more questions, who was on the phone for Felix? Why is Felix more curious about James and less about either the call or the pretense for the call.
And so not able to justify his choice of priorities (alongside the deaths of fellow agents and disappearance of 007), he took on still another career change that got him out of the crosshairs. Luck wasn't with him on that, either.
Lets jump forward in time to the Craig era. For the first time ever a Bond movie was a direct sequel. The producers told us that QOS occurs mere minutes after CR. Bond is whisking away with Mr. White in his Aston. But he has got company as a few cars chase him through the tunnels and roadways. Eventually the police are roped in too. A chaotic chase follows.
But have we ever thought, where did all these cars come from? Obviously Quantum had people everywhere, but how did they get wise to Bond whisking away White?
What is your theory on how Quantum chased Bond at the start of QOS?
As we can see at the end of CR, White appears to be alone. Although the house is large not a soul is on the grounds, and no one greets him. Bond coldly and methodically shoots White. Bond seems to know that no one is around. He walks slowly up the steps and with much flair states "Bond James Bond."
So how is it that mere minutes later he's being chased by multiple cars? How was Quantum alerted to the kidnapping of Mr. White?
Would love to hear your theories on this. Bonus points if you can explain how Bond changes from three piece suit to a two piece suit. LOL!
Spectre and NTTD proofs that you must know the future first before you understand the past. Whyle there already give hint in QOS so mabey can know if earlier that Felix going to die. Predict M her death with QOS and when see died then see her death coming hint in Casino Royale too. This same hint also telling us Bond going to die, but possible don't see it before it happend or before the Michael Jackson hint in NTTD.
Including the room you're in now...
Were there more questions?

One particular type of death is seen in two different movies. Death through the ears!
In LALD at the UN we see a man switch the audio cord to another device, almost like the detonator for TNT. He plunges down the plunger and we hear a sound, the UK rep at the table drops dead after the sound.
In FYEO we see a helicopter pilot apparently get a shock to the ears and he drops dead as well.
While both die after some shock to their ears they clearly aren't the same manner of death. However can one even die from these types of "attacks"? Or is this the screen writers taking artistic license?
I am also curious if anyone knows how the translator didn't hear or see the killer when he did the deed at the UN. Bonus marks for your theory there.
What's your theories behind these two deaths? Go on give me an earful!
Not shared on the soundtrack, here's what actually played on those headphones. To killing effect.
LALD (1973), UN Delegate
[Villainous use of the recorded song before its 1974 release and 1975 chart successes. Attempts to wreak havoc by releasing the single to a mass audience failed to generate mass casualties, but did make a bunch of money for the bad guys.]
FYEO (1981), Helicopter Pilot
[Say what you want about this track. It is undeniably electric.]
