A thought arising from one of the other threads ...
Avon wants the Liberator, right? (Well, *he* doesn't say so, but he implies it fairly strongly in The Web and Pressure Point, and there's that little deal with Blake in Star One, and that *extremely* possessive "this is *my* ship" in Powerplay).
But *why* do you think he wants it? What does he think he wants it *for*? It appears that he hasn't given any thought to this, and once he's got it, he - and the rest - muddle around for half a season almost *looking* for something to do with it (IMO). And it's fairly clear he *doesn't* include being leader as part of the package (Kairos just being the most pointed proof of this).
Was it just that it's the bestest toy a computer genius could want? Or he just wants it because it's Blake's (viewers may not agree on that <veg> but right or wrong, as far as the *crew* were concerned it was Blake's) and was tied up in his ambivalence towards Blake and the rebellion?
Any opinions on exactly what was going through his mind on this point? _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
