I think that's because he's a bad actor..

He knew Connie was the mole and was responsible for some seriously evil stuff. It didn't make any sense that he would engage her in conversation while letting her circle round to his back. Sure, play it cool so she wouldn't know that they all knew but keep an eye out for heaven's sake.

I think he was just playing it cool, trying to act normal, thinking that if he was normal then

So to sum up - bad actor, bad officer then?
Sounds a little harsh but I'm inclined to agree.

It's a very sad state of affairs when his best acting all series was when he was dying.. perhaps Casualty is more his gig?

When he was his normal self, as Ben, I think the bad actor vibes take over but, his lack of emotion, part of the furniture persona worked very well when he was in the field. He always appeared lost in his thoughts, doing his own thing and paying attention to no one at all.
It's just instinct to turn when someone circles around behind you. Granted, it was a spectacular death but not believable in the least.

It was a very "look behind the dawr!" moment - have I said that already?
