Last night I decided to e-mail Disney Infinity. https://infinity.disney.com/contact-us#

Below is my message and their response. I suggest that everyone take a few minutes and do the same and suggest that Gargoyles be considered for their 2014 line.

Me:
> I would love to see Disney's Gargoyles figures become part of the Infinity family. Characters like Goliath, Brooklyn and Demona would stand out and bring in old fans as well as new customers to the Infinity brand. Thank you for your time.

Them:
> Great suggestion! I will be sure to pass along your feedback. Everything we're releasing for 2013 has been announced. We're not sure what next year has in store for Disney Infinity so be sure to continue checking our website for updates in the future.
>
> Feel free to contact us with any future questions you may have!

Here's a poll for best animated series of 2013.

http://www.tv.com/features/best-of-2013/vote/poll/SpecialFeatures:list:best-animated-series-2013

I'm not surprised that My Little Pony is beating Young Justice. I don't think it's better than YJ, but it's still very good (for what it is) outside of the Season openers and finales, and it has a MASSIVE fanbase. However, I'm extremely surprised that Adventure Time and Gravity Falls are beating YJ. Please vote and promote this to your friends and help YJ get a solid 2nd place victory!

BRAINIAC - [Of course, Koschei's also the supposed "real" name of The Master from Doctor Who..."Deathless" seems a pretty valid epithet for a Time Lord, doesn't it?]

Your post reminded me of another "Gargoyles"-ish moment in "Doctor Who". In one episode, the Doctor encounters an archaeologist named River Song whom he's meeting for the first time from his perspective, but who's met him many times before from her perspective (time travel's strange that way); to gain his trust, River Song whispers something in his ear. That moment reminded me of Titania whispering something in Fox's ear. (The big difference is that we find out - kind of - what River Song whispered to the Doctor - his real name, which only he could have told her. Though we don't find out what his real name is.)

Ah, Koschei. One of the better-known bits of Slavic folklore (in my opinion, at least). Amusingly, a Russian-American band I heard live about two years ago (Random Encounter) had a song about fighting Koschei which pretty much covered the mythology quite well. It's here if anyone is interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgJZcmFSGRc

Of course, Koschei's also the supposed "real" name of The Master from Doctor Who..."Deathless" seems a pretty valid epithet for a Time Lord, doesn't it?

I ordered a copy of "Rain of the Ghosts" at Left Bank Books last night, since I couldn't find it on the shelves in either the children's fiction or young adult sections.

One of the questions Greg answered last night was about Mars as handled in "Young Justice"; the question mentioned that in one of DC's Martian Manhunter books, the native name for Mars was "Ma'aleca'andra". That amused me since in C. S. Lewis's "Out of the Silent Planet", a science fantasy book about a journey to Mars, the Martians' name for Mars was "Malacandra". Evidently someone at DC Comics wanted to pay tribute to the book.

I've thought recently about a possible "TimeDancer" adventure for Brooklyn. There's a Russian legend about a prince (named Igor, I believe; the story's rusty in my memory) who defeats a monstrous sorcerer named Koshchei the Deathless (whose description suggests he might have been one of the nastier members of Oberon's Children - or Mab's Children, if the adventure took place early enough - in the Gargoyles Universe) with the aid of the Firebird. Now, the Phoenix would definitely appear a "firebird" if it showed up to deposit Brooklyn in early Russia - and Brooklyn's coloring, beak, and wings could have made it easy for later accounts of the story to merge him with the Firebird that brought him there.

(Brooklyn's presence in Russia inspired a further creativity demon, though one which most likely wouldn't make it past Standards and Practices. Brooklyn is learning about Russian patronymics - how, for example, if your father's name was Ivan, you're called "Ivanovich", if your father's name was Peter, you're called "Petrovich", and so on. Brooklyn asks "So what do they call you if your dad's name was Sonov?")

Hi Everyone,

When the Ask Greg queue reopened along with the release of Legacy there was no announcement as far as I can tell. Was that done to minimize the torrent of postings that usually happen?

That was the most artful "I can't admit how terrible the prequels are" dodge I've ever heard.

If previous Ask Greg rambles are any indication, anyway, as to his opinion.

He basically admits that one of his main focuses will be adding shades of grey. Shades of grey to one of the most black and white universes I can think of. Not surprising.

Todd: Indeed it is. Significant spoilers for "Young Justice: Legacy" below.

[SPOILER] The main plot of "Legacy" concerns the Light gathering up the pieces of a statue of Tiamat in order to resurrect her. In line with Peter David's "Aquaman" run in the comics, Tiamat is depicted in the game as a biological, alien superweapon with the power to affect severe weather patterns.

Marduk, in turn, is described as an "ancient superhero" who used the Tablet of Destiny to seal Tiamat in the statue and spread it across the globe, at the cost of his own life. For this act he was deified post-mortem.

Klarion does eventually manage to assemble the statue and bring back Tiamat as a weapon for the Light, his price being the Tablet of Destiny. But after it is destroyed in battle with the Team, Tula sacrifices herself to repeat Marduk's sealing-spell and save the world.

Overall, an interesting way to blend the central tenets of the classic mythology with the wider setting of a superhero-based universe. Shame that we may not ever learn much more on the subject. [/SPOILER]

I was looking over a few of the recent questions to "Ask Greg", and noticed [SPOILER] some references to Marduk and Tiamat (presumably based on the ones from Babylonian mythology) in a "Young Justice" context [/SPOILER]. Was this something that happened in the recently released "Young Justice: Legacy" game?

Just got back from Barnes and Noble to grab my copy of Rain of the Ghosts . . . pre-ordered it too last summer, but I figured a while back that'd I'd be donating a copy to the library at the school I work at. The moment I read Greg's ramble, I knew I had to see if my Barnes and Noble also put their copies on the shelves early. d:

About as thick as I imagined for the paperback, but just a bit larger than I was anticipating.

Definitely cracking it open tonight :D

Here's the problem with most fanfic writers: they seem to think Dominique is a second life. It isn't. Demona spelled it plainly in "High Noon." She's a gargoyle. Dominique is just a tool to help her in her goals. She'll use the form because she changes into a human, whether she likes it or not, but Dominique is not another life for her.

"3. Why is there so little fanfiction to do with Owen/Puck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I think this one's hard to write, although he's fun to read.
Most fanfic is either Goliath+Elisa stuff, or crappy Demona fics... or self-inserts/OCs which are usally horrible.
There are a few good fanfic writers out there, though.

2. DisneyShows YouTube - I think the Gargoyles seasons are either blocked or deleted from UK
