I actually thought this was all leading toI'd argue that sending aSpectre member to kill Bond when your ultimate goal is to get him to come to you is pretty fucking dumb. Like the plan to plane(?) his way to rescuing Madelin, or why Madelin abruptly leaves James to (shocker) get captured. Even better, Bond, through no skill of his own, finds her because she wakes up in time to scream.
Maybe you're right in that Skyfall, on a higher/story level, is dumber, but I feel like this was filled with more dumb moments.
Also, the wholeis horseshit.half-brother thing
