==From one of your early revisions to the five-ep opener:
"--Our fault, but we don't think the Bannister character is adding anything. We can probably drop him."

Who was Bannister, exactly? Sounds like a cutesy name for a cat, or a cheesy villain's pet bat or something. But since you know for sure, would you enlighten us?

~H\A~
Who probably _would_ name a cat 'Bannister', if she had a cat...

Greg responds...

I'm not sure I remember. I have a VAGUE memory that at one point we discussed having a "good" Rich Guy to place in opposition to Xanatos. We decided against that -- didn't want to make life too easy for our heroes. Bannister may have been that guy, or he may have been someone else entirely. The good rich guy sort of eventually kind of became Renard.

Why wasn't Anastasia present at her daughter's wedding? Was she not invited? She and Fox seemed to get along all right in _Walkabout_.
Could the Matrix be considered a sort of wedding present? (Pretty crummy one if you ask me. Fondue sets may not be very popular, but at least they're not out to kill you.)

Greg responds...

The wedding served a specific purpose, in addition to the marriage itself.

No sense complicating matters by inviting mom.

Was the interesting ensemble Fox sported while crashing Fortress II a remnant of her Pack days, or part of her personal, ah, trousseau? I thought its one-time appearance in _Outfoxed_ was rather odd, since it didn't really work as a disguise. Would this be another example of a Kenner-influenced addition? The thought of a 'Flying Kunoichi Fox' action figure is not unamusing...

Greg responds...

It had nothing to do with Kenner. It was just gear. She owns it. But she owns all her old Pack wardrobe.

1) Was Fox really serious about her plans with David to "use Matrix to reshape the entire planet to suit" themselves? Talk about extreme. Looks like _HERITAGE_ wasn't Xanatos' first stab at "cliched villany" after all.
2) Having an entire ocean and continent between yourself and a risky project is always a sensible idea, but why was Operation Matrix was based in Australia in particular?
3) Was this the only Xanatos-sponsored project that Anastasia worked on?

Greg responds...

1. Selectively, yes. But not a full make-over. And I think you're thinking of "Cloud Fathers".

2. They had what they thought was a secure and deserted territory. Plus property values.

3. Pretty much.

Do you feel like expanding upon how Fox and David met? :)

Greg responds...

Not right now. (Kind of a long story.)

Had Janine Renard already acquired her new name or foxhead tattoo by the time her father hired Owen Burnett?

Greg responds...

Certainly the tattoo.

Greg responds...

It didn't.

Family Xanatos:

1. What are the middle names of David and Fox?
2. Will Alexander ever get a foxhead tattoo like his mom, as he did in FUTURE TENSE?

Greg responds...

1. Alexander and Alexandra.

2. You never know.

Greg,

I was recently reading a book on the last Grand Duchess of Russia, Anastasia Romanov. She had a older sister named Tatiana. But every time I looked at the word, I read it as Titania. Titania's human alter ego is named Anastasia. Did you get the idea for Titania's human form from these two sisters?

---Ytt

Greg responds...

Not exactly.

I threw the name Anastasia into "Outfoxed" before I knew Titania and Fox's secrets.

But obviously, I got the name Anastasia from Anastasia Romanov. I didn't know she had an older sister named Tatiana. Cool, huh?

did Xanatos know that one of the souls in Coldstone was evil? i figure he did know, but then why did he build a robot for it and not let it just fade out of existence? and even if the soul had to go somewhere why put it in robot with great strength and cool weapons? if he was really trying to help out Coldstone why create a bigger headache for him? poor Coldstone gets screwed at the end of every episode he's in...

Greg responds...

Yeah. Poor Coldstone.

Anyway, Xanatos is not a wasteful man. Think about it.
