David Rosen: Keeping the Gladiators Honest

[Rhondinella]

I've never liked Josh Malina in pretty much anything before, but he really works for me on this show.  What do you all think?

[April Bloodgate]

I love him on this. I really hope he isn't 

the one Jake shot

last episode, but I don't want 

it to be James either

. I'm so torn.

I like David, but I don't think he's anymore of a white hat than anyone else on the show.  His actions were certainly not as egregious as some, but the fact remains: he willingly and knowingly participated in the election fraud cover-up.  Yes, it was to get his job back, and frankly, I thought it was a smart move.  But I can't see him as having some kind of moral high ground over anyone else.  And that's not even counting how he 1) avoided the police when he woke up and found a dead girl in his bed, and 2) went straight to OPA and not the police after he had time to gather his bearings.  He's not a bad person, by any means, but certainly not the patron saint of good that he's often lauded as.

True, he is as much about self-preservation as the rest of them. On this show, however he just may be the best or good-est person but that's a pretty low bar.

I think David is a white hat by the same standard that Olivia is. Which is to say, when his morals are tested he fails, but he feels real bad about it.
