[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 6050425, member: 2011"] If Blofeld has just FINISHED monologueing, told his men to kill Bond, and then started monologueing again instead of killing Bond, then it would be stupid there as well. Once the villain does his monologue and then decides to kill the hero, it doesn't make sense to go "Wait, wait. I want to monologue some more". This is a type of plot consistency. If there is a reason the villain should monologue again ("Oh, before I kill you, I forgot to ask you about xyz" or "Oh, before I kill you, I put abc into a death trap"), then fine. It makes sense according to the plot. But here it didn't. He had 30 seconds earlier ordered his henchmen to kill Bond (because Bond was starting to thwart his plans) and suddenly, he changes his mind for no apparent reason. Movies sometimes have these types of inconsistencies within them (Glenn Close as a lawyer once wore 4 different outfits in a court of law, all during the same trial on the same day). They bother some people. They don't bother other people. They are still inconsistencies. [/QUOTE]
