As to the goings on on Vigil, I'm not quite how the XO turned up in the nick of time like that - it seemed like a dreadful cut without a bridging piece to how he twigged what was going on. And why wasn't there a security team shortly following him if he'd been sent of to investigate. And in the whirlwind MI5/military interviews afterwards, it was difficult to keep up...
Yep, I agree - the end could have been a lot worse - a lot more slushy, a lot more politics-preachy, but it wasn't. They knew that the Morse (well, random tapping) was coming from the bow, and it's not like there's huge amounts of space for people to be hinding up the pointy end, especially since they knew there was activity in the torpedo room in connection with the disposal of The Box of Death.
I had more of a problem with the fact that she had to go via the missile tubes when going from the torpedo room to the control room.
