I enjoyed it but...
Will read comments to see if someone else could put their finger on it...
1) I noticed the thing about M’s bag ‘disappearing’ from Mallory’s office when I saw it the first time in the movie theatre. However, this can be easily explained as she might somewhat ‘swerve’ to pick it up as Mallory is talking with her (as she leaves the office) — and then we see her in the next scene leaving his office.
2) Silva could’ve planned his escape and all that ensued afterwards without knowing that Bond would be in Macau in lieu of Patrice not being there. He could’ve easily put the ‘wheels in motion’ once James stepped off the island with Severine, who was then killed. I don’t see an issue with this. He knew how James thinks...
I thought “Skyfall” was a terrific film and I personally put it top on my list of Bond films.
I think I know what you're talking about now.
Is it the 'GRANBOROUGH' scene at Q Branch -- in which James is able to analyze a sophisticated computer encryption ahead of Q himself?
