Yeah, that is interesting to me as well. Although, if I were infected with a virus and would probably die a slow, horrible death in a few hours I think I'd be a little short on heart too.

I do feel we could do with a bit more of an explanation as to why Ros is suddenly more concerned about saving Zaf than she is about saving London from the virus. With this I don't mean I have a serious problem with her doing so. It's just that it jars a little with how the character was presented to us in the previous season. I'm not suggesting that she wouldn't have cared about Zaf then, but that she has been shown as someone who narrowly focuses on getting the job done whatever the cost.

It's also interesting that Harry and Adam are the only two that actually went through with infecting their victims in an attempt to get the information they wanted, and that Ros and Jo did not. I wonder if Jo would have done it if the Russian hadn't caved so quickly?

Harry's line to Connie at the end that she should come back because he needs her, and because Malcolm needs her also makes me think. Why does he say that Malcolm needs her? Does he mean it in a work sense, because since Ruth left Malcolm is the only Grid based officer left? Or does he mean it on a more personal level, namely that he worries that Malcolm has no close friends left after Colin's death and Ruth's departure? Probably a bit of both, I guess.
