June 17, 201114 yr comment_525 From where did characters and some objects have their names? Your suppositions. *** Perhaps, Beatrice is from "beauty" and woman from Dante's Comedy. Earnon - Earth? Xenon - ref to Superman's planet? Report
June 17, 201114 yr Author comment_531 Btw, perhaps, Earnon is from "earn"? Sorta earned place. Or good place to earn. Report
June 18, 201114 yr comment_540 Xenon is most definitely a reference to Superman. Notwithstanding the fact that it's also an element on the periodic table. Report
June 18, 201114 yr comment_544 Notwithstanding the fact that it's also an element on the periodic table. I'm aware of this. Krypton, Superman's homeworld, is also an element on the periodic table. I assume that Scott was following in that same vein when he named Roger's homeworld Xenon. Report

June 18, 201114 yr comment_558 I'm not entirely sold on Xenon being a Superman or Periodic Table reference. I'm convinced Xenon was a fictional side-character portrayed in Shakespeare's lost play, "The History of Cardenio" who was once portrayed as having a planet-sized ego and anti-social tenancies which would later become his tragic character flaws when during Act III, Scene II, he would die from drinking dirty bath water just to avoid going to dinner with his mother-in-law. Alas, poor Xenon, we knew him poorly. Dr. Belleauxs is from Belleau? French village. May be it's some historical ref. It's a reference to Dr. Bellows on the show "I Dream of Jeannie." :P Report
