* It is explicitly stated that the explosion at MI6 headquarters, done by remotely tampering with various systems including the natural gas lines (not entirely like how the narrator's apartment is destroyed in ''FightClub''), ''should'' have been impossible for a variety of reasons. Silva must have had an in on some major work to either build or renovate the headquarters at some point, specifically rigging it so that EverythingIsOnline, even things that had no reason to be. Easiest way to find the back door to a security system? Install it yourself.

* The message Silva sends to M in his video is "Think on your sins". [[FunWithAcronyms Abbreviated, it spells T.O.Y.S., or "toys"]]. Silva feels M sees her agents simply as toys, who she may throw away once she tires of them.

* Much of the dialogue involving Kincade [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall becomes very meta]] when one recalls they originally wanted to have SeanConnery play him. Case in point, his introductory scene:

** Not necessarily that funny; komodo dragons don't usually eat people but if they've been starved, they'll eat anything. And their bites include 60 incredibly sharp teeth, definite severe infection, and possibly venom, though the last is debated by scientists. With medical treatment the guy could live, but it won't be pleasant for him.

Previously he may have been considerably more standardly good-looking, like 007 himself (who still looks like he's been beaten with a shovel).

* While preparing for the siege at Skyfall manor, Kincaide mentions that Bond's father's hunting rifle tends to drag to the left when fired. This combined with Bond's bum right shoulder cancels the two handicaps out, thus making Bond an excellent shot once more for the final fight.

** Also, 007 uses M as bait to draw out Silva. She spends the last half hour of the movie wearing a shawl to keep warm, and as mentioned, Bond knifes him in the back. Hmm... what's the old English phrase for espionage, secrecy, and intrigue? CloakAndDagger.
