First of all: thank you for your fantastic feedback!
Lee was, for me, always at the heart of it: Pushing, challenging and sometimes just being 'there'.
I completely agree! Even when he was just an observer, he had this strong presence and awareness. I love watching him analysing the situation, and although he is often doubtful and hesitating, creating his own independent point of view and - once he made a decision - acting true to his values. Part of what's disturbing me about the "right vs. smart" statement of Roslin is, that doing the "right" thing for Lee was never doing the "obvious" or - if you want - the "expected" thing. His pragmatism isn't that simple.
Doing what's right often means just following the rules, acting opportunistic, doing it the easy way. But not for Lee. He was always questioning what's right or wrong instead of accepting the Status Quo, always struggling to find his own vision of what's best, and in the end - at least for me - that IS the smart thing to do!
I'd have a lot more to say concerning Lee's finale, but I'll leave it for now. I'll probably make another, or an extended, picspam about that. As I said in another comment above: I feel there's so much more for me to explore. Thank you for joining me doing this!
