Statement:

<In Assassin, you get something different; there's a deal made, but once Avon has what he wants, there is no reason for Avon to honour the deal

with

Nebrox, so why does Avon then save him?>

Response:

<grin> He nearly didn't, you will notice - Neebrox had to *remind* him

about

his promise.

Hey, that's something else I'd change--make Neebrox turn out to be the assassin, so Avon could have a perfect score for getting in trouble every time he tries to do the right thing in conventional terms.

Oh--and dress Jarvik in a Marlon Brando singlet ("A Pursuit Ship Named Desire") and have him make his entrance carrying a package of raw meat and uncapping a beer bottle with his teeth. And have Servalan tell an underling, "I don't want realism. I want magic."
