I agree, absolutely! But by that same argument, if slash is simply porn by and for women, then it can't possibly be read back into the show itself. Unless you think Terry Nation was writing erotica by and for women?

No, I think Terry Nation came up with the raw material for one of the domains that is of interest to slashwriters (similar to, e.g., The Professionals and TOS).

I quite like Blake/Travis prequel stories myself. I mean, Travis takes the whole thing so personally.

I would think that this had more to do with having his eye put out and his hand/arm blown off than with romantic rejection.

Shouldn't he be glad to make any sacrifice for the glorious Federation? I think they're both lying about the backstory.
