an icepick through the keyhole

> Vesper Lynd Death Watch

To try to work around spoilers, let's just say that for me it was a question of whether she was going to go the way of Tracey (and if so, when and how), or whether she was a bad guy. I had read Casino Royale years ago but couldn't remember it.

> Texas Hold 'Em

Annoying choice, but understandable for the audience. They couldn't have spent nearly as much time showing hands of the game if they'd kept it to baccarat. And have officially licensed Casino Royale cards and chips shown up in stores yet?

> suaveness

Who needs suaveness when there were at least two coming-out-of-the-ocean-with-no-shirt-on shots? I sure didn't regret any lack of suaveness. :)
