After giving up and deleting about 800 messages, I left about a week and am now up to the 23rd- thereby sorry if my answers are a little dated (broken modem, late shifts and all that). Anyway after reading a post by Marian de Hann I think about a fanfic story that gets Avon off the hook fot killing Blake, a thought occured to me. When we see Blake and when it is written about, Blake is usually some-how still alive. However why is this? At first it seems obvious Blake is still alive, the hero, the 'Captain Kirk', however I think the answer is more to do with Avon. We need to some-how give him absolution - this is proven by the fact that if Blake is killed, Avon must some-how be insane, not just killed him outright. Do we need Avon to not have committed this crime so much, we try to absolve him? Part of Avon is that he is ruthless, I myself am an Avon fan and have been guilty of it, however I think I am starting to see where the reputation for Avon fans always trying to excuse him comes from. He cannot be allowed to commit a henious crime or he must some-how be noble? What do other people think???
