[spoilers] Zaf

[Aria]

Congrats on your 3000th post, JHyde. Hope the next 3000 are just as fun.

I also liked Zaf and think the writers missed a trick with his character. His friendships with Ruth and Adam and later Jo were good and I liked his scenes with Ros early season 5. But it seemed, that apart from the 2 episodes you mentioned, his character was the light relief, the comic/lighter element before the real business of the episode took place. He enjoyed his dirty tricks campaign against the racist M.P in 4.3 but the real "action" taking place involved Adam and Fiona. His job as bellhop in the Havensworth op seemed to sum up his position within the Grid and with the writers.
