More a case of "word is bound to pop up repeatedly in the movie," but just because of its impact and placement, Connie Corleone saying, "And you stood Godfather to our baby! You lousy cold hearted bastard!"

xp ?? it is? Skyfall is the name of Bond's childhood home.

?? Wha? Did I imagine the scene at the start where Skyfall comes up in the word association and he gets twitchy? I certainly missed the childhood home - where does it come up?

xp Godfather's in the first scene there isn't it, he upbraids the supplicant a bit on never inviting the Don around despite the Don being godfather to his kids.

Ah no fair enough, I didn't actually think it was supposed to be a profound psychological marker (because, bond) - I just thought it was the codename for "Oh fuck someone has the names of all of our agents, the sky is falling"

Though obviously the sky has fallen in that picture, it works on many levels.
