Avon might be induced to come to Terminal, since that's not particularly contingent on anything,
Whereas I'd say that the extent to which the series makes any sense at all derives from "Avon being induced to come to Terminal is contingent on his feelings for Blake"
Well, yeah, there is that:) But I meant nothing external to Avon himself. He has a ship that can take him there, with no pressing longterm agenda to distract him. Yeah, maybe the crew could have talked him out of it (if he'd filled them in from the start). Maybe he'd have got himself killed along the way, or Liberator got blown up. Maybe a gang of pirates might start using Terminal as a base. There are always maybes that can throw a plan awry. But like Largo said, a pro keeps it simple.
