Then I realized the common denominator of all three victims; they're all intellectuals, geeks. Not that Blake isn't a philosopher, but you've got to admit that Avon is more geeky than Blake. And with the others the difference is even more obvious.
So why is it that the H/C writers have it in for geeks?
LOL Hello Kathryn, I'm new here but I have to say that I am very much enjoying the content of this list and I had to respond to your post even though I don't know the answer to your question - it's just that I've never heard of Avon being referred to as a geek before. I love it! I hope I don't come across as too Avon orientated in conversations on this list because I do like all the characters (some less than others) but Avon is my absolute outright favourite - Avon the geek - ROTFL
I have a somewhat weak possible answer to your question Maybe it's because these characters(and I have to confess to not watching these other shows you mentioned so I am assuming the other characters are intelligent men of the ilk of Avon) are always in control of situations that call for clear thought, that the writers find them perfect candidates for situations where their intellect not only can't help them but actually suffers along with the physical because they find themselves in this situation - Again I have not read any hurt/comfort stories - so this is strictly a guess.
Cheryl.
