Tarzan? Tarzan was a doormat, especially for women. "Tarzan, dear, could you come over here and kill this lion with your bare hands?" "So sorry, Tarzan darling, but I seem to have wandered into that death trap you warned me about. Do be a sweetie and take it apart, will you?" "Do you _mind_, Tarzan? You are bleeding all over my dress. Just collapse over there, will you?" "Look, dear, I'm sorry you're facing ten to one odds and don't _dream_ I'm not feeling grateful for your getting into this little fix just to save my life, but _don't_ think I'm going to pick up one of these weapons and give you a hand. Fighting monsters in your job. Besides, I might break a nail." and the famous, "Oh, very well, if you're going to be like that, I'll do something, so long as it's not too stressful. Do you think screaming might scare them off?" Then there's the stereotypes. Just because his education has been severely limited (and does Jane ever bring up the idea of getting him some remedial tutoring? Does she even introduce the concept of verbs? You'd think he'd have noticed the tell tale signs this woman was _not_ interested in him for his brain. The woman was out to exploit him, period) he's supposed to be thick as a brick, desperate for more intelligent people to come along and start using him for their own ends. Furthermore, he was so densely in love with servitude nothing would have gotten him out of it. If Blake had had to deal with the Lord of the Apes instead of the King of Horizon, he'd still be digging radioactive bananas out of that mine. Vila _might_ have gotten out of it by auditioning for Cheetah's part, and Avon would have cut a deal with the lion.

Neil does have some Avon-like qualities, but thinking about his entire output, I'd say, closer to Orac. Don't ask why .

Is that Zen in his usual laconic "confirmed", Zen in his exasperating "Wisdom must be gathered - it cannot be given" mode, Zen in his guilt-ridden "I have failed you, I am sorry" - or simply spewing out reams and reams of facts?
