History Headscratchers / NoTimeToDie

* As pointed out by ''WebVideo/HonestTrailers'' it doesn’t make much in-universe sense for everybody to care so much about Naomi having taken up from the 007 callsign. While obviously significant from the audience’s perspective due that number being synonymous with Bond for over 60 years, within this continuity Bond only held the number for at most 10 years. Furthermore, for obvious reasons the fact it’s his number isn’t as famous as it is in real life. This would like getting hung up you received clock in number from the previous employee of the month, not something that should warrant more than a “oh, neat”.

* He had just threatened to murder ''an entire ethnic group'', he was TheLoad and might get both of them killed, and if the bad guys killed Nomi and got him, they could use him again. Nomi made a judgment call to deny the enemy resources ''and'' improve her chances of actually surviving the mission. On top of that, even before the mission, M ordered Bond and Nomi to kill both Safin and Obruchev! So, precisely speaking, the scientist was going to die one way or another, and once he made the threat to wipe out all West African people, Nomi felt that it was "time to die".

* Because Mallory realized that the deadliest enemy is actually those hidden within their own ranks. Initially in ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'', Mallory didn't believe that the "shadows" exist and didn't see the cloak and dagger aspects of the world, hence why he had a disdain for the first M and her "sentimental" trust in Bond. Of course, the attack led by Silva (along with Max Denbigh/C's infiltration shortly afterward in ''Film/{{Spectre}}'' and the Nine Eyes plot) made Mallory realize that he can't really trust anyone anymore - especially the people that he works with. Hercules was designed therefore as a safeguard and collected the DNA of MI6 agents and allies, not necessarily their enemies. It was only when it was stolen by Safin that it became a weapon.

* Some suspension of disbelief aside, how does the EMP in the watch Q gives Bond not fry the earpiece radios Bond and Nomi use? Q said he isn't sure of it's range, which, fine. Bond's first use is about ~2 feet away from his head, and he holds it right up to the door. But the second time when he kills Primo, it's inches from his head and yet his communications gear still works. How?

** Development of Heracles was not complete when Spectre stole it from the lab. An antidote was probably next on the list of things to add to the weapon before it could be safely used.

** It was quiet clear that Bond wasn't the cause of Blofeld's death, but rather, the nanobots were. Moreover, Bond isn't an 'ordinary' law enforcement officer but an elite agent of the British Secret Service working during a crisis situation - "normal" procedure wouldn't apply in this case.
