TND is easily the most fun and traditionally Bondian of this group, but I give props to the overly maligned SPECTRE for sinking its teeth into death as its theme from frame one. Next time you watch it, pretend that Bond didn’t survive Blofeld’s torture chair, and that everything which followed is his dying fever dream. It becomes a far more interesting movie, and I believe Bond’s “death” is entirely intentional, Trojan Horsed into the formula by Mendes and Logan.
