8. Bond's Relationship With Q
An important part of Bond's relationship with Q is his disregard for Q's gadgets, and Q's annoyance at Bond never returning them in pristine order or taking things seriously. While having a younger Q in
Skyfall may not ensure this kind of dynamic, Bond saying "You must be joking" to Q in the trailer is a humorous callback to the exchange from
Goldfinger. This suggests that, at first, Bond won't be interested in what Q has to show him. Eventually Bond comes around to liking the youthful gadget master and calls him Q, for what's probably the first time.
