i think though, raven, that they may very well have confused fen with trillian. she does seem more a composite character in the film.

i wish hollywood could just leave well enough alone!
I read a great deal about this movie as they were making it. It seems that Adams had already written the script and made many changes to the story himself. He wanted it to be different. The movie wasn't supposed to be an exact copy of the books. I can't say how faithfully they went by his original script but I do know that it wasn't faithfull to the books per Adams' desire.
