Screen Shot At Am

This is highlighted by Naomi Harris‘ Moneypenny stifling a smirk, “I thought you two would get along.” I am kinda bummed to see Harris put back into a supporting role. After her adventures in Skyfall, I was hoping she would be upgraded to a 00 role.

At the end of Spectre, Blofeld did not receive a bullet in his head as his reward for the terror he caused.
