Zaf's death

[JHyde]

When my sister and I talk about the show, all we ever focus on is Zaf, and how sad his death was, by quite a stretch the most tragic of all the deaths on the team. Jo says in 6.10 that "[he died] alone, in fear and agony", and it's absolutely true. He lost any dignity by being tortured and having information extracted from him, before being killed. And how many times was he passed along?

What's really sad is that Zaf was probably one of the nicest people who worked there over the years, a really great balance between compassion and instinct.

This truly would be your worst nightmare as an officer. It couldn't have been difficult for Miranda to play the pain of those scenes, with Adam in the kitchen, and then in the conference room together.

OK, I was fibbing about Zaf being the only thing my sister and I talk about re: Spooks. We also discuss Richard Armitage's jawline and short legs/long torso. My sister has much love for Armitage.
