Right, I don't want to clog the feed so I think maybe I should keep my thoughts on RQG(Hamid) in the comments on this post unless/until I get my thoughts together enough to make a tumblr post.

I think I figured out why I fell so hard for Hamid, its delight! When he smuggled a bottle of alcohol to his friend in jail the jailer asks how he did it: he says "magic!" as he disappears in a cloud smoke.

Which in turn points to why I fell for the show: so many would have gone for a cheap "prison subplot" where Zolf is abused physically or sexually by the guards, other prisoners, or both, to the point I was bracing for it. Instead Alex basicly said "nope I'm building this world and the worst he has to contend with is getting addicted to a series of romance novels the guard cheerfully shares with him."
