• The characters of Pamela Landy and

I wondered if that meant they had had a romantic relationship. Anyway, I guess this movie made a point of allowing him to save the chick this time.

I just figured that she was involved in his training. If they'd been involved sometime before he lost his memory at the start of the first movie . . . well, I'd have to retcon all their interactions, which to this point never gave a hint of it, and I refuse to do that.

A relationship between the two of them, in Paris, prior to the first movie, was the obvious implication to both my girlfriend and I, watching this yesterday. It even makes sense...they were based out of the same city, their ages are close, and they're the only people who can talk to each other about what they do. It might not have been a terribly serious emotional relationship (almost couldn't have been, given Bourne's psychological condition), but the indication that they were closer than just co-workers is crystal clear, IMO.

Enh. If I'm going to be forced to recton two and a half movies' worth of interactions, I want (1) an explicit statement to that effect and (2) for it to _matter_.

But I apparently am in the minority about this movie on this ground too.
