I'm getting a bit of a "And Then There Were None" feeling.
Yes, like that. I probably sounded more crotchety than I feel about the ep - Eastenders (BBC flagship miserablist, non-aspirational soap) can be really good in short doses. I think I'm going to be re-watching this one again and again on the DVDs but won't be able to process it properly until after the next week.
I think Zarek's chances of being the final 5 just shot up astronomically. Got Mr. Clean in to do the job the wanted done - and which will leave his hands publicly clean. With just a few sincere words - tte of, "I'm on her side. Trust me, better yet - trust yourself." And now he has Lee now pitted against Roslin, his agenda will come into view, whether he has one of his own, or if merely wants to be a spoiler and problematicize Roslin's job by upsetting her and upsetting the Admiral as well. He's outmaneuvered everyone. A bit like Cavil on the other since.
I find it hard to care too much who the final 5th is - if it's anyone we already know it will be a let down and if a stranger equally. What they are is another matter.
Zarek and Cavil both did well on the short term sanity front but it's hard to see any long term aim that isn't completely batshit. Lee was annoying and obviously out of his depth this week and I've been OK with him previously. Don't have a problem with unmanly men and I figured he probably did have more to offer on the civilian front than as a burnt out pilot. But he screwed things up for Laura. Bad Lee! (Even if Bad Laura).

Hahahaha! I thought exactly the same thing and had nobody to share that with while I was watching.
