Honorary Commander RN

In 2021 Daniel was made an honorary Commander Royal Navy. Awarded in recognition of his promotion of the senior service through his films. Commander being the rank of James Bond. 86.15.123.249 (talk) 23:18, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Although she says she is still useful, MI6's servers are hacked"

Not sure what (in "Plot") the following is meant to mean?

"Although she [M.] says she is still useful, MI6's servers are hacked..."

Not sure I (or anyone, for that matter) can understand how these two things are supposed to be related...

To me it looks like a (rather gross) editing error ?? 2A02:908:2810:8780:10B:5DF1:CCCA:695C (talk) 18:13, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Moneypenny

The Plot section refers to Moneypenny by name, although she is unnamed throughout most of the film and her name is a "reveal" at the end.

In order to preserve the feeling of story, I plan to edit the Plot section to obscure her name until the point where it's revealed. If it comes out sounding silly, I may refer to the fact that the closed captions refer to her as "Eve". — Preceding unsigned comment added by ShawnVW (talk • contribs)

The plot section isn't there to reproduce the feeling of the story. It's there as a reference for the other sections when discussing the events of the film. DonQuixote (talk) 15:03, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
