I didn't either until I started watching with audio-commentary. I like the behind the scenes stuff. I work behind the scenes too in my own very (very, very) small way. As an amalgamation of a writer, producer and editor, the script editor's mark and personal style is on each episode. It has captured my fancy. Although I do not know who the script editor was for S5. Still looking. Maybe it was still Kate Swindon but she just had a new title.

But this is also why I need you to answer my stupid questions when I say "Wait! I don't get it? What just happened? Why did they do that? What did they say?"

As for Zaf, I bought that he would shoot as well. To take it a step further, Zaf being Zaf, he would make sure that he had heard everything out and would do it only as a last option. I think he gave Adam a little more opportunity to explain than he might give someone who, well, wasn't Adam. That the fact that it was Adam, definitely tempered his decision to shoot them. It's these moments that reconfirm to me why I like Zaf as a character. He's not as cold as either Adam or Harry.
