Now there's where I would disagree with you,
I'm
afraid. There is some evidence for
heterosexual
relationships/feelings/leanings between some
of the
principal characters on B7. There is no
evidence of
homosexual ones for these characters
Regardless of what was intended by those who created the series - if Avon had been played in exactly the same way, but by Pauline rather than Paul, I for one would assume that something was going on between Avon and Blake
Point one: since that never happened, it's a bit spurious to argue about it.
Point two: taking it up for the sake of argument anyway, it's quite conceivable that if the character _had_ been a straight woman, there would have been a sexual undertone to her relationship with Blake. As it stood, however, it was two straight men, not a straight man and a straight woman.
As for Avon and Blake: my own gaydar, I'm sorry to say, registers nary a blip.
