YES! That bit caught me too and I can't believe I left it out -- Mathias was fairly prominent in Casino Royale and that scene was one of those moments when Bond's humanity did come out, I think. Just in flashes, and then, gone. Was that the crucifixion bit you were talking about? I completely forgot to look for it. But you're right about pre-occupations -- obviously I'm obsessed with revenge tragedy so I see it all over the place. Even in Bond films!
