LOL, I honestly don't even have a beginning planned out. I can barely decide which elements from the film to use and which ones to axe. But ok, i'll just tell you some of the basic ideas i have.


 * 1: Bond doesn't go rogue at the start.

The reasons for this are: 1: Bond has already defied his peers a number of times in the previous films, and caused MI6 and M alot of trouble in the process. So for him to do it again in this film, especially after his character arc in Skyfall, wherein he appeared to have finally, truly matured into the character of 007, is a really regressive and stupid thing to do.

2: There is never any reason given as to why he felt it nessecary to go behind Mallory's back with regards to Mexico City. It makes absolutely no sense that Bond wouldn't tell him about Sciarra and M's message, when in the last film he clearly proved himself to be on Bond's side.

Alternatives: Bond (on a mission of "non-involvement") 1: Is unexpectedly attacked by Sciarra. 2: Becomes involved in, and is framed for, an attack carried out by Sciarra.

I think that the second option is an especially good one, since this way we could keep the "rogue agent" aspect of the story, without compromising James's likeability. This would also provide a better reason for Gareth to be angry with him, motivating Bond to try and regain M's trust. Also, this way James would not be guilty of (knowilgly) causing an international incident.
