He was excellent, also had the best lines.

As I was listening to him lecturing H about why the attack "can't happen," all I could think was "what presumption." Is he part of Nightingale? I think yes.

I suspected him as soon as he said they were going to negotiate.

All I could think was that the shippers are now going ape.

Some other thoughts,

*Music excellent and so Bourne-like. Hope Moby is getting royalties.
*Camera continues to please, especially outstanding when Victor is staggering and almost losing consciousness.
*Ros: "You dropped your potato peeler" made me laugh out loud. (When she asked him why, the writers passed up a good one, "Sarah used me for sex." Umm, maybe not.)
*Nice (well, awesome really) change in subject matter.
*Ashok's argument to resolve the situation almost seems like the most important idea in the whole world right now. It's happening everywhere, people with the same blood, brothers actually, killing eachother over varying belief systems.
*Episode gets my vote as best ever. Anyone want to try to talk me out of it, I'm listening.
