My point is, if the writers/actors/whoever had intended the characters to read as gay/involved, they could have done so. But they didn't.
And don't forget that apart from anything else B7 was sometimes considered a kids' show which would limit exploration of any kind of sexual relationship with anybody.
Dana, do you accept that there is a difference between raw canon and what individual viewers think they see/might like to see on the screen? That on a very basic level there is a show that is put together by a creative team (writers, directors, actors, etc) and that team considered the Blake and Avon relationship to be strictly platonic.
I have to agree with Fiona that canon is separate from fanon. There are a few canonical adult relationships that were clearly intended to be adult relationships per the intent of the creative team (such as Avon/Anna). Beyond those, postulating sexual relationships between B7 characters (and I enjoy exploring those possibilities) isn't canonical.

Sure. But what's so great about canon?
