<gurgle> but Stephen, Avon really truly *doesn't* think he did anything wrong in Terminal, even if it all went haywire on him. Witness the fact that, once he and Orac get a firm lead on his 'one line through the pattern of infinity', he promptly and pretty much does it all over again (okay, so he told them this time. But not till they'd blown up Xenon and were on route to GP and Blake, and weren't likely to do a Tarrant and try and stop him).
< Actually, the thing that strikes me about the Liberator/ Scorpio crews is how terribly forgiving they all are. <snip> In fact I can only think of three incidents where a character gets reminded of his failings in a previous episode. Trial, obviously. The Keeper, in which Blake alludes to Avon's unfortunate phone call to Space Command HQ. And Blake when Tarrant reminds Avon that he took them into Terminal blind. There you have it - The B7 crew, an example to us all.>
Lovely - another small nugget to add to my set of reasons why Blake Will Forgive Avon For Shooting Him (eventually, of course :-))
