I think there's an unknown Law of Nature at work here. Not only doesn't Blake kill his implacable enemy, but (leaving the question of *everyone's* sanity for the moment) Avon doesn't,
On behalf of Avon: Tried to kill Travis at least twice before doing so. Once he got his Very Own Implacable Emeny (TM), Servalan, he did NOT kill her when he could for a very good reason: he could stop her with a smootch. For an Implacable Enemy (TM) , she had a distinct weakness for him. If the same could be said of Blake and Travis, they certainly didn't show us Blake utilizing that advantage. OTOH, I'm sure the Slash writers have considered the possiblity.

For each man kills the thing he loves...the coward does it with a kiss, the brave man with a sword?

Anyone interested in a slash (but not explicit) treatment of Blake/ Travis backstory can e-mail me for a copy of "Assume a Virtue if You Have It Not."
