There we have an IMO again. "Sally Manton" uses them like confetti.
than Avon, because there actually *isn't* anyone who Vila would deliberately, cold-bloodedly put ahead of himself.
This is a totally illogical statement! How can Vila be a survivor, even more so than Avon, if Avon is willing to sacrifice other people to maintain his own survival.
I see this in both Vila and Soolin,
See what? AGAIN THIS MAKE NO SENSE!
and a possible explanation in their backgrounds, similar in that both
appear
to have been flung onto their own resources at a very young age (Soolin's
family were massacred, Vila was in prison at age 14).
This is a statement of fact. But it relates to nothing.
His cowardice is IMO genuine,
AGAIN NOTE THE USE OF "IMO".
but only one aspect of this; where he thinks it
won't work, he doesn't give in to it.
EH?
He does, of course, occasionally take risks for one of the others - an interesting aspect of his saving Tarrant in Rescue is that there is no
one
there to *tell him* him do it, in the heat of the moment he just does.
THAT'S TRUE.
And
almost goes back for Cally, but then when that awful rumble starts, the survival instinct kicks in and he scrambles for safety (I'm not blaming him,
HE WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF HE HADN'T.
of course, there's not a thing he could have done to save her).
THAT'S TRUE.
But to cold-bloodedly face death for someone else ..? No. What I can see
is Blake deciding to airlock himself and Vila *wanting* to stop him, but not being able to pull together that amount of selflessness until it was too late.
WHY WOULD BLAKE WANT TO AIRLOCK HIMSELF?
<What would happen between Blake and Avon on the shuttle? I have no idea.
LIAR.
Neither of them would hide, so instead there would be some kind of "so
this
is it after all these years" confrontation.
THEY'D WORK TOGETHER.
I'm sure Blake wouldn't kill
Avon, but I don't think Avon would kill Blake either, _in that circumstance_.>
TRUE.
I think Blake would try to leave, and Avon - his *protective* instinct kicking in
Please again note the word *protective*. She doesn't tell you the context either.
- would try and stop him. What happens next is anyone's guess,
and the stuff of quite a few stories I've read ...
Now, this might just be a wild guess, but the fact that this email doesn't make a great deal of sense reminds me of a certain comic strip villain. He was a evil duplicate of Superman, but the main difference between them is that is sentences were often muddled. His name was "Bizarro".
