Oh, that M? I was thinking of the new M as the villain.

But that may just be because Ralph Fiennes is almost inevitably the villain... well, okay, except in The Constant Gardener.
Nobody would ever have bought that this was the ending. Yes, much of the movie was indeed supposed to show M and Bond as dinosaurs past their expiration date, but it was obvious from the start that the final conclusion would end up being quite the opposite.
Ah, Chinese Gordon. That guy must've been a riot and a half, judging by the rather original things he writes in his diaries and letters (at least those relating to his stay in Sudan, haven't read the rest). Though in fairness to her majesty's government of the time, his death really was his own fault to at least some extent, for all his complaints about Gladstone.
With the idea that they had been trying to trick the audience into thinking this was the ending, I have to wonder if they were deliberately portraying M and Bond the way they did in the rest of the film. I thought that the movie was really trying to send the message that these two dinosaurs were past their expiration date and not suited for the modern world, but the movie seems to think they were right all along.

And even if he WAS being screwed over, it was all for the greater good and her national interests, right? As Kipling wrote, "That is England's awful way o' doing business/She would serve her God (or Gordon) just the same" Chinese Gordon could tell him a thing or two about getting hung out to dry in Indian country in her majesty's service.

Okay, what's going on with Skyfall? Do they realize M was the villain? (Spoilers abound)
