2. Bond Being A Bit Of A Know-It-All
"
"Ah, come in 007, now, do you know anything INSERT ESSENCE OF PLOT HERE" was pretty much how Bond got briefed by M in Bond films of the 1970's & 80s. The answer was always, of course, yes he did know all about it. Faberge eggs, EMP effect on microchips, how rockets go 'wheee' and then blow people up, the price of a scotch-egg in Chicago, so much so that you wondered if he was getting Moneypenny to forward him the meeting contents beforehand and then looking it all up on Wikipedia before he went in. Nowadays Bond is as much in the dark as we are, instead getting his info from the telly, a dead bloke's phone or nicking someone's computer and guessing their password. Honestly, realism eh?
