I think some of you guys have your "feminist agenda/conspiracy theory at every turn" hats on too tight. Skyfall was awesome. I have no idea how it's assumed Bond was AFC in this film. Maybe in Quantum of Solace but not this film.

Bond flirted and banged most of the females he ran into. He never banged Moneypenny, but then again Bond never bangs Moneypenny.

He killed without remorse or hesitation, even going so far as to call killing a contract a paycheck during the psychological word association session.

The most interesting thing about Skyfall was the Maternal Triangle in the film. Silva (the film's big bad) idealized Agent M as a mother and was warped when he realized he endured torture only to be sold out by M who he was trying to protect. The realization became so much that he tried to take himself out and it only rotted his mouth away. M seeing him remove his teeth must of shook her as she was face to face with a man she sentenced to death so as to finish the mission.

M also did a similar thing with ordering Moneypenny to take an impossible shot which almost killed 007 (which he later cleverly shook off as no big deal when Moneypenny tried to apologize/shyt test him later. Yeah Bond was so afc there). The only difference was that M favored Bond so much that she put him back on the field despite him being totally unfit for duty. She nor Bond would never admit it but M was like the mother Bond lost, and vice versa. Silva wanted to be in Bond's shoes and get her approval but he was just another field agent to her. In fact Bond and M are so similar in the fact that they will sacrifice anything or anyone to finish a mission, their stubborness (so stubborn that they can't see they constantly bickle like mother and son), intimidating patriotism, and secluded personalities That to me is brilliant writing.

Hell if anyone knows anything about personalities that exhibit "The Dark Triad" and how Bond is a fictional poster boy for that complex, the light shed on his past and the man he has grown to become make much more sense on a psychological standpoint.
